Devon Allman y Duane Betts son la base vital de la Allman Betts Band, cuyos sonidos afilados reflejan la herencia de dos de los mejores músicos de Southern Rock, Gregg Allman y Dickey Betts personificada en sus hijos, que decidieron unir fuerzas tras un concierto de homenaje a Gregg un año después de su muerte en Phoenix. A la aventura también se unió bajista Berry Oakley Jr. — hijo de Berry Oakley, el que fuera miembro de The Allman Brothers Band. El año pasado debutaron con Down to the River y ahora anticipan un segundo registro gracias a “Magnolia Road”, que evoca los sonidos de sus padres respectivos. Procedentes del sur de California, Robert Jon & The Wreck está formada por cinco músicos veteranos músicos que un día decidieron unir sus fuerzas para crear un sonido propio como resultado de enredar el rock más clásico y el southern rock con la frescura del punk californiano. Hace cinco años apareció Glory Bound, su primer larga duración, tras debutar en 2013 con un EP titulado Rhythm Of The Road. El carisma de Robert Jon & The Wreck, la enorme calidad de sus canciones y la energía de sus directos, les hicieron crecer rápidamente y conseguir la tutela de Rival Sons, con quienes terminan compartiendo gira y a los que les une una gran amistad. Su nuevo trabajo es Last Light On The Highway, con mucho de blues, rock y soul pasados por el filtro del Orange County californiano y canciones tan motivadoras como “Do You Remember”. Ross Cooper llegó a Nashville tras abandonar los circuitos del rodeo y empezó a combinar de forma natural country y folk para completar un par de álbumes muy recomendables que ahora tendrán continuación con Chasing Old Highs, su tercer disco de estudio. Tejano de Lubbock y a medio camino entre Sam Outlaw y Ryan Adams, Ross Cooper cabalga, nunca mejor dicho, entre el regusto por la tradición de su estado y los nuevos paisajes sonoros de la country music como ha demostrado componiendo temas que han grabado Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen y William Clark Green, entre otros. Chasing Old Highs sigue la temática de su trabajo anterior, pero continúa ampliando horizontes. Además, su guitarra Gibson J-50, regalo de un amigo de la familia fallecido, ha tomado un papel protagonista en la construcción sonora del álbum. Hay canciones como “Hello Sunshine”, que abre el álbum, que traen a la memoria sonidos propios de John Hartford o Roger Miller y que dejan un mensaje de positividad sobre cómo los días no son inútiles aunque a veces no sean felices. Corb Lund tiene un nuevo álbum titulado Agricultural Tragic. Es un proyecto para honrar el pasado, compartiendo las lecciones aprendidas y las historias escuchadas en su rancho familiar en la provincia canadiense de Alberta, donde nació. Su personalidad artística siempre le ha derivado a publicar canciones que mezclan sus orígenes rurales y los nuevos tiempos. Compuesta junto a la cantautora Jaida Dreyer, "Never Not Had Horses" pasó de ser una tonalidad divertida de principio a terminar convirtiéndose en un lamento por la pérdida y la desesperación. Tiene que ver con el dicho popular de tener demasiados caballos y poco dinero y trata de aferrarse a pequeños hilos de esperanza. Como viene ocurriendo en los últimos tiempos, las nuevas canciones visitan muchos más paisajes reales de y se acercan a un estilo de vida agrícola y rural, al margen de los estereotipos, tantas veces irreales. Dale Watson se acogió al término Ameripolitan para diferenciarse de la industria de Nashville, como un rebelde de la country music, mezclando Outlaw Country, rockabilly, honky-tonk e incluso Western swing. Nacido en Alabama y criado en Texas, la constancia ha sido una de las características de su personalidad hasta convertirse en un músico con tintes de leyenda. Un verdadero forajido. Lo último que hemos conocido de él es esta versión a "Chevy Van", una canción de Sammy Johns, que compuso y cantó en 1973 junto a los miembros de la la mítica Wrecking Crew de Los Angeles. La canción detalla el encuentro fugaz de una pareja en la parte trasera de una Chevrolet Van. En First Rose of Spring, el último álbum de Willie Nelson, no hay demasiadas referencias al paso del tiempo, como había sido costumbre en sus últimos trabajos, ni tantas canciones propias. Tan solo ha compuesto dos temas junto a su viejo amigo y productor Buddy Cannon, y uno de ellos es “Blue Star”. Es una canción de amor donde él promete a su pareja que se encontrarán nuevamente en el cielo. Será “la estrella azul a la derecha”. Willie impone su impacto emocional con una voz entregada que se arropa en su legendaria guitarra Trigger, provocando una sensación relajante de abrazo cálido y seguro. Johnny Cash regresa a la actualidad con la recuperación de sus álbumes grabado en el sello Mercury en la segunda mitad de los años 80. Columbia Records decidió no contar con él y el legendario Hombre de Negro se marchó a mediados de 1986. Pero Mercury Records decidió firmarle un contrato y aquella relación duró cinco años y dejó para la historia seis álbumes. Ahora se edita The Complete Mercury Recordings 1986-1991, una caja de siete discos y el recopilatorio Easy Rider: The Best of the Mercury Recordings, con 24 de aquellos temas. Todos ellos han sido remasterizados de las cintas originales. La versión en CD incluye varias pistas inéditas e incluso un disco adicional de mezclas primitivas de las 20 canciones de su álbum, Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series. Por supuesto una colección así no podíamos dejarla pasar por alto. Chips Moman fue el productor de Class of ’55: Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming, un disco grabado conjuntamente por Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis y Roy Orbison recordando sus comienzos en Sun Records durante los 50. En cierta forma, también era un homenaje a su antiguo compañero en el sello Elvis Presley. El disco fue grabado en los Sun Studios y culminado en los American Sound Studios, ambos localizados en Memphis, en tan solo cuatro jornadas de septiembre de 1985. Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins y Jerry Lee Lewis había colaborado juntos previamente en un par de ocasiones. El 1956 fueron protagonista junto a Elvis Presley del mítico Million Dollar Quartet y en 1982 publicaron a trío The Survivors grabado en vivo en Alemania. Johnny Cash fue solista en un par de temas de Class of ’55: Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming, “We Remember the King” de Paul Kennerly y “I Will Rock and Roll with You”, un tema propio en el que se dejaba acompañar por un cuarteto de metal. Había problemas legales con el Hombre de Negro, ya que aún tenía contrato con Columbia. De tal forma que Chips Moman tuvo que pagar 100.000 dólares a la compañía por el permiso de grabación. Johnny Cash firmó con Mercury muy poco después. Johnny Cash siempre supo rodearse de grandes amigos y en, Johnny Cash Is Coming To Town, su debut en solitario para Mercury en 1987, no dejó de hacerlo. Se puso en manos de "Cowboy" Jack Clement para el trabajo de producción y se reunió con sus artistas más cercanos y familiares como June, Anita, Helen y Carlene Carter, su entonces yerno Marty Stuart y su compañero Waylon Jennings. Con este último cantó “The Night Hank Williams Came to Town”, que fue el único single extraído. Era una canción compuesta por Bobby Braddock, autor de algunos de los mayores éxitos para George Jones y Tammy Wynette, y Charlie Williams, que hizo la locución final. El tema describe la visita de Hank Williams a una pequeña ciudad para dar un concierto en 1951, con Harry Truman de presidente. En el año 1988, Johnny Cash lanzaba el álbum Water From The Wells Of Home, una vez más producido por Jack Clement, con un buen número de colaboraciones con otros artistas, algunas especialmente brillantes, y que abarcaban desde su hija Rosanne, su hijo John, Glen Campbell, Jessi Colter, los Everly Brothers, Tom T. Hall, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Jr., y Paul y Linda McCartney y Emmylou Harris, con quien interpretó un tema del legendario Roy Acuff como “As Long As I Live", en el que encontramos a Waylon, su mujer Jessi y al propio Roy Acuff en los coros. Publicado en formato de doble Lp coincidiendo con el Record Store Day, Classic Cash: Hall of Fame (Early Mixes) es uno de los regalos de esta caja de siete CDs del Hombre de Negro. Contiene las mezclas originales de las 20 canciones que conformaron en 1988 el álbum Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series y cuyas cintas fueron descubiertas recientemente en los archivos de Mercury. Johnny Cash decidió grabar de nuevo temas emblemáticos de sus años en Sun y Columbia aprovechando las nuevas técnicas de producción, algo que no terminó de contentar a ciertos puristas, aunque el guitarrista Bob Wootton y el batería W.S. Holland seguían a su lado. Entre aquellos viejos éxitos resucitados se encontraba “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, que este pasado viernes cumplió medio siglo desde que fue grabada por primera vez. Era el 10 de Julio de 1970. Estaba escrita por Kris Kristofferson, a quien conoció en los estudios de Columbia un año antes y al que introdujo en los círculos musicales. En 1990 apareció en el mercado Boom Chicka Boom, cuyo título hacía referencia al sonido de los Tennessee Three, la banda de acompañamiento de Johnny Cash. En este caso, se han añadido seis cortes con cuatro primitivas versiones de otros tantos temas y dos canciones que se publicaron como caras B de un par de singles. Entre lo más destacado encontramos “Hidden Shame”, una canción que Elvis Costello compuso expresamente para el veterano artista. Costello ya había visto como uno de los temas de su álbum King of America, "The Big Light", sirvió de apertura tres años antes en Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town. Con el regreso de “Cowboy” Clement a la producción, The Mystery of Life fue el último disco de Johnny Cash para Mercury y, lo cierto, es que no se esforzó demasiado. El artista ya había iniciado la aventura de los Highwayman con Waylon, Willie y Kristofferson y este disco contenía temas de algunas sesiones de grabación muy recientes y de sobras de su primer disco en la compañía, en 1986, Johnny Cash is Coming to Town. The Mystery of Life fue el último disco de estudio en el que participó el mítico batería W.S. Holland, bien conocido como "Fluke", aunque siguió acompañándole en los conciertos. Aquel disco lo cerraba la versión larga de “The Wanderer” que aparecería en la banda sonora de la película de Wim Wenders Faraway, So Close! con Johnny Cash y U2. El cuarteto británico la incluiría en su álbum Zooropa del 94. Menos mal que tres años después comenzaron los American Recordings. En cualquier caso, el Hombre de Negro casi nunca defrauda y al margen de volver a grabar “Hey Porter” y “Wanted Man” de sus años en Sun y Columbia, nos dejó “I’ll Go Somewhere and Sing My Songs Again” con Tom T. Hall. Escuchar audio

Hi again, Friends!  Here is an episode all about my trip to this really cool museum located in Memphis, Tennessee. I really hope you get to go someday because it really meant a lot to me as a musician. When you are there, you are engulfed in history about where our music came from and its whole journey. Very humbling.  Here is a link to find out more information on it:  https://www.memphisrocknsoul.org/ There are so many artists that we have forgotten about. I hope this week's episode will encourage you to take the time to buy some old records and let these artists live again. Many of the artists you know and love today were influenced by the forgotten, so be cool and do some investigating of your own. :)  I will be posting some pictures of the museum on the Facebook group (The Happy Singer Discussion Group) so you can see some of the jukebox's, costumes, instruments, and records I talk about. Thanks, as always, for listening to the podcast. : ) K

Welcome to the Memphis Travel Guide Part OneOn the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, Memphis is Tennessee's largest city and home to the historic birthplace of blues, barbecue, and rock ‘n’ roll. Memphis just doesn't attract tourists, it creates pilgrimages from all over the world.You will often find tourists stating they are on their third, 10th or even 100th visit to Memphis and who can blame them? – fantastic BBQ pulled pork, spicy dry rubbed ribs, exceptional live blues entertainment, often free, and the home of the king of rock n roll himself – The big E. --- Elvis Presley.And as much as Memphis is about Elvis, there is a lot more going on there culturally and historically that can be explored. Don't worry, we'll cover the Elvis attractions, but we will also go more in depth in a special episode giving you tips and information on visiting Graceland.One of the great things about Memphis is that it is relatively affordable to visit if you know when and where to go. In these next few episodes we will cover tourist attractions, where to stay and where to eat. We'll also give tips on how to stay on budget, and ideas for families and solo travelers.Let's start off with some recommended attractions. Even though Memphis is a large city, there are a great number of attractions situated in relatively small geographical location making it easy to see and do a lot of things in a short amount of time. One of the biggest draws to Memphis is because of its rich history in music so let's start here.Depending on when you arrive in Memphis the first stop on anyone's list should be historic Beale Street and the home of the blues. The main drag is lined up and down for several blocks of blues joints, honkytonks, great restaurants bars and tourists shops. In the evening, almost every venue hosts free live music, from Mississippi Blues to Jerry Lee Lewis tribute bands. Also at dusk, the lights turn on to the many wonderfully designed neon lights and makes for iconic photos. Drinks and food are priced moderately, even though this is a top tourist attraction. We recommend the Beale Street Tap Room and The King's Palace Restaurant where not only you can get a good beer but also some great BBQ including ribs, Voodoo Chicken and Cajun Faire.Now a lot of the action may be happening inside, but there is a lot going on outside. Street performers, acrobats and magicians sometimes perform down the main strip to the delight of onlookers. Handy Park, is usually a great place to listen to a blues band or solo artist, while enjoying the historical significance of the park.Even though Beale St. Is lined wall to wall with drinks and individuals drinking walking down the street, it is totally safe. The Memphis police department controls the entranceway's into the thoroughfare and actively patrol the street keeping everyone in check. Police monitor those underage as well and anyone under 21 is not permitted on Beale Street after 10pm – when things get a little wilder.Now if you prefer it a little slower, you can go during the day or into the evening and still enjoy Beale Street, especially if you enjoy visiting museums and historic attractions.WC Handy is considered to be the "Father of the Blues" and is one of America's most influential songwriters ever and you can take a tour of WC Handy's humble beginnings at his turn-of-the-century home on Beale Street. Admission is $6 but be aware they run a limited schedule of Tues-Sat from 10-5 in the summer months and 11-4pm in the winter months. You can find the museum at the corner of Beale St. And 4th.Another great museum to learn about Memphis' Music past is the RocknSoul Museum. The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum is at the corner of historic Beale Street, and legendary Highway 61 (Third Street), also known as the “Blues Highway”. The museum is located on the plaza of the FedExForum, Memphis’ premier sports and entertainment complex, and home to blockbuster concerts and the NBA Memphis Grizzlies. The museum tells tells the story of musical pioneers who, for the love of music, overcame racial and socio-economic barriers to create the music that shook the entire world. The museum offers a comprehensive Memphis music experience from the rural field hollers and sharecroppers of the 1930s, through the explosion of Sun, Stax and Hi Records and Memphis’ musical heyday in the 70s, to its global musical influence. The museum’s digital audio tour guide is packed with over 300 minutes of information, including over 100 songs, and takes visitors at their own pace through seven galleries featuring 3 audio visual programs, more than 30 instruments, 40 costumes and other musical treasures. The museum is open daily, 9:30 a.m. - 7 p.m. Admission is $12.50 for adults, $9.50 for youth age 5-17.Getting to Beale Street is pretty easy from anywhere in Memphis. Good Parking, however, can quickly fill up. But the good news is that Memphis has the lowest parking rates in the United States. There are 12 main lots near Beale Street and a number of smaller lots. Prices range from $10 to $20 per day, depending on distance and security.But, here is an inside tip. There is a lot located at 110 Peabody Place, between Main St. And 2nd St. South that offers an incredibly low rate of only $3.On our next episode we'll continue our guide with stops at Sun Records, The Stax Museum of Soul Music, The National Civil Rights Museum and some other fantastic locations.

Melissa Etheridge is one of rock music's great female icons. Her critically acclaimed eponymous debut album was certified double platinum. Etheridge's popularity built around such memorable songs as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain't It Heavy” for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits “I'm the Only One” and “Come to My Window,” a searing song of longing that brought her a second Grammy. The six times platinum album spent more than two and a half years on the album chart. Etheridge is also an Oscar winner for Best Original Song in 2007. In 2011 Melissa made her Broadway debut as St. Jimmy in Green Day's rock opera, American Idiot, where she replaced Billie Joe Armstrong for one week, and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Etheridge is scheduled to release MEmphis Rock and Soul, a new album honoring Stax Records, in fall of 2016. She recently completed recording at Royal Studios in Memphis on what will be her first album since 2014's critically lauded This Is M.E. On June 20, 2016, Etheridge released a song called “Pulse.” The singer wrote the song in reaction to the mass shootings that took place in Orlando on June 12, 2016. As she told Rolling Stone, “We want to try to make sense. We want to try to heal. We want to bring some meaning, some purpose. We also want to put it down forever in history. That's how I'm coping.” All proceeds from the sale of “Pulse” will benefit Equality Florida, the states largest LGBT civil rights organization.

Welcome to my Blues Heritage Tour. I'm on a road trip in a beautiful red 1966 Ford Mustang working my north from New Orleans up Highway 61 - the blues highway - to Chicago. Today I'm Memphis, Tennessee, to get a taste of the electric Memphis blues. Further north now, the blues sound is more polished, more electric, more of a polished performance. I've left the juke joints and low-down bars back in Baton Rouge and Clarksdale. Here in Memphis, it's sharp suits, backing bands full of brass, elegant theatres and putting on a show. And the king of putting on a show - a man many call 'King of the Blues' - is B. B. King. Born Riley B. King, in Itta Bena, Mississippi, he moved to Memphis in the 40s and has been recording, playing and touring ever since. At age 76, he's still going strong and defining the blues for new audiences. King is a pioneer of electric blues guitar. He was soloing way before his blues contempories caught up with him and he continues to be a model for aspiring blues guitarists today. If you want to learn about the blues - and the heritage of African American music - a good place to start is the Memphis Rock n Soul Museum. Let's go in.
