Automatically Transcribed With Podsqueeze Speaker 1 00:00:00 This Kent Hance, I hope you enjoyed part one of the interview with Rudy Gatlin. He's a great interview, a great American, and you're going to love. Part two. What's the worst place you ever performed? You know what I mean? Just a a dive. We were fortunate that. Speaker 2 00:00:21 We didn't work too many of those because we started had enough success. And we're making a little money on the road. And we I mean, we weren't taking a lot of money. We weren't making a lot. We were existing. We were living paying the bills, but we didn't have to work, and that wasn't our deal. I love, you know, good country, western, two step and honky tonk music, but. And Houston and lady takes the cowboy and but we we cut 28 records, 28 albums of other types of music. Great ballads write wonderful songs. Larry wrote a bunch of great songs, and we made a bunch of great records. But we thank you, Lord. Because they'd have been throwing beer bottles at us. Speaker 2 00:01:06 What Roy started doing done. Enough dying today. I've done enough dying today to get back to the honky tonk songs. We needed the chicken wire. Speaker 1 00:01:17 That. That's when, Roy Clark tells about the time that it threw some beer bottles at him and some other things, and he finally, we went. He refused to go back to that place, and they said, won't happen anymore. And they had the they had chicken wire in there so people couldn't throw things at them. You know. Speaker 2 00:01:36 When he was doing what he was doing yesterday when I was young, I remember that hit record. Speaker 1 00:01:41 That was a great song. I mean, one of the best that was rent. Speaker 2 00:01:46 They said, get back to Good God and Greyhound. You're gone. Speaker 1 00:01:50 Yeah. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. But yesterday. Speaker 2 00:01:54 Song. Speaker 1 00:01:55 Yesterday was, written in France and, recorded French. And then somebody got Ahold of it and decided to do it in the United States. And then several people recorded it. And Roy Clark was the the most famous of the ones that did. Speaker 2 00:02:13 Great. Speaker 1 00:02:13 Songs. I know a little about music, not much, but, Speaker 2 00:02:17 And I do know that Porter and Dolly are your favorites. Speaker 1 00:02:20 Yeah. That's right, that's right. You got me up two tickets, I said at one time in class, I said I wouldn't take my dog to see Porter and remember it. Speaker 2 00:02:30 And I remember. Speaker 1 00:02:31 Y'all went out. Speaker 2 00:02:32 And bought. Speaker 1 00:02:32 It. You went out and bought tickets and some dog food and a leash and put it up on the the table where I came in. I came in to teach, and there it was. There's one of those, large classes that was in the small auditorium, and, I could look and there was 100, 150 people in there, and you were the only one that had written on your forehead. Guilty. I mean, I could just I could tell that you had been involved, but I liked it. And it was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Speaker 2 00:03:05 Yeah. I thought I was smarter than that. Speaker 1 00:03:08 No, you had Gilti written all over you. I got it early on. What? What's the best place? You know, I asked you the worst you could, but what's the nicest place? Speaker 2 00:03:19 Dallas, Texas. Anywhere in Dallas, Texas. Speaker 1 00:03:23 Was always nice. Speaker 2 00:03:25 I'm in Dallas right now at my daughter's. We have a love affair with this city. Going back to when we sang gospel music as a gospel quartet. Right. From Odessa, we traveled to Dallas and Fort Worth and Mesquite and all over Texas. But we came to Dallas to sing in Oak Cliff, Oak Cliff, Assembly of God church. Sure. See? Noah. Whoa, man. Speaker 1 00:03:50 Hey, hey. When the religious music. When you were gospels and everything. What were some of your favorites? Because there's a lot of people listening, and they remember when we used to sing hymns instead of being bop of Jesus. Speaker 2 00:04:05 Well, our first song was I Woke Up. I wish I had my guitar. I've got my guitar in there. Speaker 2 00:04:10 I woke up this morning feeling fine. I woke up with heaven on my mind. I woke up with joy in my soul. Because I knew my Lord had control. I knew I was walking in that light. Because I'd been on my knees in the night. I pray to the Lord gave me sight. And now I'm feeling mighty fine. Yes, I'm feeling mighty. Speaker 1 00:04:34 That's good. Speaker 2 00:04:35 So first song we ever learned. In fact, I think we won that talent show. Singing that song. Speaker 1 00:04:40 That's good. But the standbys are amazing grace. And what a friend we have in Jesus. And y'all, y'all would sing all kinds of. Speaker 2 00:04:51 Well, we sang a lot of those songs, like our heroes, the Blackwood Brothers Statesmen Quartet that came through Abilene, Odessa, Lubbock. We bought the records, took them home and put them on the high five and played those. And mom got up on the piano and we just started singing. Joe knew how to, you know, God just said, y'all sing. Speaker 1 00:05:16 And you. Speaker 2 00:05:17 Know, he he gave you the ability to to understand law and all that stuff. You I, I, like I said, I can't spell be much less understand, you know, lawyer doctors. How do they understand all the, Michael Jordan can shoot a basketball? Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler can hit a golf ball. Speaker 1 00:05:41 A long way. Speaker 2 00:05:43 now I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a better golfer. I'm than he is a singer, I guarantee you that. But God just gave everybody a talent because. And we developed it a little bit, you know, worked, sang in school And. Speaker 1 00:06:00 One year when, Alan White, he had that big party in Dallas headed out to Cowboys Stadium, and, y'all performed in. Your mom was there, and we we left. I was with y'all in a bus. They were taking us to to another part of the city and, had a great visit, and told your mom that you were a great student and everything. And she kind of grinned at me and said, you don't have to lie. Speaker 1 00:06:34 She she had a good sense of humor. Speaker 2 00:06:37 Yeah. I think she found out about that first semester away from home. Well, see, that was my first semester away from home. Curley Gatlin was a firm disciplinarian. Love. I love my upbringing. Mama, you know, wouldn't take anything for it. But, you know, they were firm. And I had to go to Odessa College and live at home for two years. And when I hopped in my 68 Volkswagen In 1972, headed north through Andrew. Boy, I was I was up all the way up to 65 miles an hour, probably on my way to Lubbock. I was free as the first time I'd ever been on my own. So. And like I said, I took too many hard courses, learn how to drink beer and play poker. But I made up for it and graduated and all that. Thankful for them. And they're there. You know, I try to a lot of people say you're just like your daddy. Speaker 2 00:07:29 And I say, thank you. Speaker 1 00:07:31 Sure. Speaker 2 00:07:32 Thank you very much. Mother drove us from Odessa to Dallas on Highway 80. Chancellor. Odessa. Midland. Big spring. Sweetwater. Abilene. Speaker 1 00:07:48 Eastland. Cisco. A Ranger. Ranger here in Weatherford. Speaker 2 00:07:56 Weatherford. Fort worth. Dallas. She one time we sang at Oak Cliff Assembly of God Church nine Sundays in a row, one. Speaker 1 00:08:06 Summer, and she'd take you back and forth every, every Sunday. Speaker 2 00:08:10 Before. Larry had his driver's license. And one night we stayed and did Sunday night service. The next day, I woke up in my bed in Odessa. On highway 80. Trucks, cars. You know how much. You know how much you miss cars going that way about like that. Speaker 1 00:08:34 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:08:37 And she drove us home and put it. Got us to bed. Got us up for school the next morning. Speaker 1 00:08:43 You were lucky. You you were fortunate. You had great parents, great parents. Speaker 2 00:08:49 And daddy was an oil field. He couldn't go with us. Speaker 1 00:08:51 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:08:52 Momma drove. We went to California a couple of times. New York one summer. Yeah, that. Great parents. Speaker 1 00:08:59 Well, it's a great training for you. What? What would you say to any young person that's looking to go into the music business today? Speaker 2 00:09:11 Bless their hearts. I'm. I'm so glad we came along when we did, because. But I can go pull a guy off the street and say, hey, man, we can get a guitar around you and you can start singing and make you a record and get you a website, get you a publicity agent and get you an agent and get you down here singing at so-and-so and do all this. Guess what? So can everybody else. There are just there's no gatekeeper anymore. There used to be a gatekeeper, and that was the A&R artist and repertoire person at the record company. If you couldn't sing and play your butt off, they weren't going to spend 100, $150,000 on making a record because they had to sell them if they didn't think they could sell them. Speaker 2 00:10:02 And they got money back. You weren't going to get a record deal. So there's. And the internet. Thank God. I mean, everybody's getting to live their dream and fulfill, you know, chase their dream and and everybody all chase your heart and. Yeah, we did. We did too. But if it hadn't worked out, I guarantee you I'd. I'd have gone and done something else. I'd I'd have taken that business law, by golly, diploma and walked right into First National Bank. Speaker 1 00:10:33 Well, you you could have been an accountant since you loved accounting so much. Hey, talking about performers. Who were some of the best people that you got to know and got to know well, and that recognized you the minute they saw you and and that were good people and encouraging type people. Speaker 2 00:10:51 Johnny cash. June Carter cash. Roy Clark. Speaker 1 00:10:57 what kind of guy was Roy Clark? Speaker 2 00:11:00 Great guy, great talent, great singer. Very entertaining. Entertaining, a great entertainer, good guy. John and June Cash. Speaker 2 00:11:09 Dottie West brought Larry to to Nashville. Roger Miller. Well, you name all those old guys, and we know them, and they know us. Speaker 1 00:11:18 Roger Miller was, originally from Shamrock. Or somewhere up in between, Shamrock and Eric, Oklahoma or something like that. And, you know, he he can't roller skate in the buffalo herd was one of his big ones. Speaker 2 00:11:35 But you can be happy if. Speaker 1 00:11:36 You if you if you have a mind to trailer for sale or rent, you know. He had a bunch of them. Speaker 2 00:11:43 You know what Roger said? Speaker 1 00:11:44 What? Speaker 2 00:11:46 You know, it don't make sense. That common sense don't make much sense anymore. isn't that good? Speaker 1 00:11:54 It is. Rudy, thank you so much. you've you've been great. You've done so well. And and you really inspired those students when you and you didn't talk with about 7 or 8 minutes and you told them how much the school meant to them and how much it meant to you and what you wanted to do. And I think the only thing you said, you wish that your mom and dad could see you walk across that stage, and that would have been neat, but, well, in anything. Speaker 2 00:12:22 They had the best seat in the house. Speaker 1 00:12:24 They did an ending. What the the thing that kept you from walking across the stage. I was going to ask that. Explain to the listeners what happened that caused you from not being able to walk across the stage. Speaker 2 00:12:40 Well, I had 64 hours when I went to from Odessa College. four of them didn't transfer, so 60. And I was I guess I was close to being a junior or whatever. The one of the semesters we had a couple of concerts in LA at the old Palomino Club in LA. And then we went to Vegas for a week to work in the Vegas Lounge, which was a great lounge. And Glen Campbell was in the main room. Well, I said, good Lord, I can't take that. I can't take that much time out of school. So I took two courses. One of them was Doctor Bowling Corp. Finance, and another one was another. So I just took eight hours that semester and I made a D in Corp. Finance. Speaker 1 00:13:29 That's easy. Speaker 2 00:13:30 To do. I told you the story. He wouldn't give me one point. Speaker 1 00:13:34 I had to. Speaker 2 00:13:35 Take it again. So I just passed three hours. That one semester I got behind. I was behind 12 hours. I made it up the next couple of semesters, but in the spring of 74, I was still 12 hours short. I took four, I was going to take four summer school classes. I took the first two. I'm going to take the next two. And they cancelled that real estate course and I went, oh no. And at that time, you remember, you could not take any correspondence to your last 30 hours. It had to be on campus. Right. And I said, I'm going to Nashville. I'm going to sing, I can I'm not I can't stick around here for three hours. They said they made an exception. I thank them, thank you, Texas Tech. I took the course. I went to Nashville, sent my lessons in, came back home in December, drove to Lubbock, took the test, passed it, finished all 130 hours. Speaker 2 00:14:37 Right? Speaker 1 00:14:38 Right. Speaker 2 00:14:40 And so it's December 74th, but I got them all in. That's why I didn't get to walk. And those turkeys that taught me how to drink beer and play poker, they graduated on time and walked that May. I just got through talking to them a couple of days ago. Speaker 1 00:14:57 Well, they had learned they had those first two years to learn how to do it. And you didn't have those two years you were still at home. Speaker 2 00:15:05 I was ready. I was a rookie. They were they were. Speaker 1 00:15:09 They were. Speaker 2 00:15:09 Professional veterans. Speaker 1 00:15:11 That's the reason you got to be careful on New Year's Eve, because the amateur drunks will be out and they'll run over you. You know. Speaker 2 00:15:17 They'll screw up the weave. Speaker 1 00:15:19 That's right. They'll mess up the weave. Speaker 2 00:15:21 That's that. That's why straight people don't go. That's why I don't go drive. Because when I'm driving straight, I'm going to mess up the weave. Speaker 1 00:15:28 Yeah, mess them up. Rudy, thank you very much. We've enjoyed it. Speaker 1 00:15:33 And thank you. Tell your friends to listen to the Ken Hance, best storyteller in Texas. And they'll get to hear people like Rudy Gatlin.
“And the point is, you can do it. You have more strength than you think you do. You can go through these tough situations. You move through that adversity, and you move through those struggles.

Transcripts available at https://tobydorr.com/podcast-schedule/ Some of our fierce topics today: [03:28] It shouldn't be called breaking up, because that implies a quick break. It's more like a taffy pull. [04:50] I discovered a female court of writers in the late 17th century. [09:31] Crazy David was my boyfriend who faked his own death and then showed up at my house in the middle of the night a couple weeks later. [13:22] I was cocktail waitressing in LA at the world-famous Palomino Club and I waited on Manuel (designer to the stars) and we fell in love and got married and had a baby. [17:19] But it felt if I didn't leave him I would get cancer and die – it was such a toxic unhealthy moment.

Guest Host Heath Fodor interviews Stephan Franck! This spring, the acclaimed cartoonist and award-nominated animator, writer, and director Stephan Franck (of Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, The Iron Giant, and Marvel Studios' What If...?) is returning to his passion project Palomino, a neo-noir graphic novel series set in the lost culture of Los Angeles' country music clubs. Franck and his company, Dark Planet Comics, are returning to Kickstarter to crowdfund volumes 2 and 3 of the planned 4-volume graphic novel series. The prelaunch page for Palomino Volumes 2 and 3 is now live on Kickstarter. Set in Los Angeles in the year 1981, Palomino is perfect for fans of mysteries, hard boiled dialogue, music, lived-in slice-of-life, and Los Angeles' weird and forgotten history. The American Century is running on fumes, but the end isn't anywhere in sight. The cowboy is still America's most central symbol—and from movies, to music, to the President himself, it all hails from Southern California. Across LA, six nights a week, working musicians, TV actors, stuntmen, cops, hustlers, and broken souls all play their part in the cultural myth making. Most of them are just trying to survive—on the B-side of the City of Angels. This is Palomino — where Farrah Fawcett hair reigns supreme, where Ronald Reagan is beginning his first term as President, and where LA's hottest music spot is North Hollywood's historic Palomino Club. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/comics-in-motion-podcast/message
Put up your dukes! We're turning EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE this episode to talk about James Fargo's 1978 bare-knuckle boxing hangout road trip orangutan movie, which we both like many parts of while still somehow not really enjoying the film. There's also plenty of San Fernando Valley history, Nazi biker discussion (critical), and Jake tells a story about a moviegoer so rude she sent him spiraling into despair. Give it a listen! Topics include: SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT, the American Humane Association, allegations of animal mistreatment on the set of this film (sort of), Las Vegas ape act impresario Bobby Berosini, the weirdness of animal rights people who aren't also human rights people, PETA's whole deal, a largely apocryphal history of the Palomino Club, more Locke Talk, movies with low stakes, The Gene LeBell Story, Beverly D'Angelo, and, for no particular reason, here's a list of bail funds.

In this week's episode we're featuring the music of one of The West Coast's most popular club draws in Missouri's Gene Davis. Davis tripped over to The Golden State in '53 and his go-getter attitude, tasty guitar licks and solid country vocal saw him hired almost immediately. Establishing himself and The Gene Davis Band (later The Star Routers) as one of the most in-demand acts on the booming LA & SoCal club scene, Davis appeared alongside the area's big names on TV shows, radio and of course on stage: in no uncertain terms helping to lay the groundwork for what is now known as The Bakersfield Sound. Somewhat of a trendsetter in more ways than one, Davis' time at the legendary Palomino Club and the dazzling list of names who passed through his employ over years is testament enough to the man's musical talent and his output (though not a national hitmaker) is worthy of this week's airtime.
This week we are joined by writer Kaleb Horton to talk about The Palomino Club! The Palomino Club was the valley's premiere country music venue from the early 50's to the mid 90's where people like Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Johnny Cash, and many others played!
The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and guitar master’s work with Americana legends like Dave Alvin, Chris Gaffney, and Wanda Jackson as well as his many excellent solo records, including his latest, “Love & Desperation,” speaks for itself. Cutting his teeth in the Southern California honky tonks, the San Bernadino-bred Telecaster slinger has seen it all from the inside out. An artist of subtlety and nuance, Rick throws caution to the wind as he meets up with the Troubled Men to survey the canyons of their minds. Topics include early darkness, shutdowns, sleeping in a car, loitering laws, Marty Allen RIP, a Kevin Gordon tour, tornados, online shopping, express lane friction, a military childhood, Spahn Ranch, flower power, the Bakersfield scene, the Blasters at the Palomino Club, Gene Taylor, Wyman Reese, Festivus, “Public Domain,” Amy Farris, Christy McWilson, R.E.M., John Doe, D.J. Bonebrake, dead friends, “From An Old Guitar,” the Cinema Bar, Tito’s Tacos, remote recording, Sylvie Simmons’ 4-star review, McCabe’s Music series, Keith “Tree” Barry, the Folk Alliance, and much more.

Book Title: Strippers “The Art of the Tease” Log Line: “I believe that inside every woman is a stripper waiting to be released”---Have Vena expand on this....also, have Vena tell us more about her life in the striptease world.... My name is Vena Isabella. I'm completing a book "Strippers --The Art of the Tease” which will be ready for publication soon I worked for many years as a lighting tech and designer for Burlesque shows in Las Vegas like Minsky 's Burlesque, Olde Tyme Burlesque, the famous Palomino Club etc. and in Los Angeles at the world famous Body Shop and other venues. I have worked with striptease artists that to this day are still known for their stage performances like Kitten Natividad, Satan's Angel, Dusty Summers etc. I refer to Stripping as an art form because it takes more than good looks-an act that's actually a mini-production that incorporates costume, make-up, choreography, music, lighting, usually a gimmick, talent and above all, showmanship. The book is filled with personal interviews, bios, glamorous photos and a history of Burlesque. How it has evolved from the fertility dances of Babylonian Times and the belly dance traditionally known as the birth dance (to prepare woman's bodies for the birth process) to Roman times and how it became a dance to entertain men.The book takes us through the centuries and how the “striptease dance” has given women a forum for their empowerment from the precondition of a submissive woman in a male dominated society.From Victorian Times, the Golden Age of Burlesque to present day there are many woman who dared to go beyond the mores of society giving us a host of exciting personalities and interesting stories like Mae West; writer, performer, screenwriter etc. who became the 2nd richest person in America of 1929 next to Randolf Hearst. Today, we have pole dancing which can also be consider an art form. From the decline of Burlesque in the 40's we have Neo-Burlesque making a comeback with superstar, Dita Von Tease and the Burlesque Hall of Fame annual convention keeping Burlesque alive.

We're baaaaa-aaaaaak! And for our 69th episode, we thought it only fitting to dive headfirst into the seedy world of Vegas strip clubs, where sex is sold alongside the most ubiquitous legal drug: alcohol. This week, the guys gallop into the Palomino Club, one of the only strip clubs in America that boasts both full nudity and a liquor license, to explore the undercarriage of Sin City. Along the way, they encounter sleazy lawyers, sex researchers who may or may not exist, bribery, and murder, of course. Get out of the way of any passing cabs as you listen to this one!
Information on this episode's guest: Jim Lauderdale ( https://www.jimlauderdalemusic.com ) is a 2-time Grammy winning Americana icon, a singer-songwriter whose unmistakable rhinestone-incrusted silhouette has been a symbol for creative integrity and prolificacy for thirty-one albums over decades of recording. He’s an A-list Nashville songwriter whose songs have ruled the country charts while recording an eclectic catalogue of albums that run the gamut of American roots styles. Jim cut his teeth in the New York country clubs, making fast friends with fellow musical iconoclasts like Buddy Miller and Shawn Colvin. Jim honed his live chops and graduated to Los Angeles, where he spent the late 80s at the center of the fiery alt-country scene alongside Lucinda Williams and Dwight Yoakam, packing out the Palomino Club and catching the eyes of the local crowds and industry alike, leading to his first record deal. Although he never got to work with his idol Gram Parsons, who Jim immortalized in his classic signature song ‘The King of Broken Hearts’ (also the title of a feature documentary on Jim), Lauderdale has realized that great dream of any musician – to stand shoulder to shoulder making music with his biggest inspirations. His duet albums with bluegrass icon Dr Ralph Stanley earned Jim his first Grammy award, he’s penned albums worth of bluegrass gems with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter and he’s on a short list that includes Paul McCartney and Allen Toussaint as a writing partner of Elvis Costello. It’s no wonder that artists from Willie Nelson to John Oates line up to collaborate with Jim, hoping to snare some of that Lauderdale magic. After all, his songs have helped sell millions of albums for artists like George Strait, the Dixie Chicks, Patty Loveless, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Solomon Burke, Gary Allan and Vince Gill. Classic songs like ‘Where the Sidewalk Ends’, ‘You Don’t Seem to Miss Me’, ‘Hole in My Head’, ‘Halfway Down’, ‘We Really Shouldn’t Be Doing This’ and many more have come from his pen.

In this episode, we're featuring the first Capitol LP for the booming baritone of Tony Booth: "The Key's In The Mailbox" (1972). Born in Florida, Booth relocated to New Mexico and even though his step-father was a steel guitarist, being a musician was not initially the intention for Tony Booth. Eyeing a career as a music teacher, once Booth got wind of the pay scale, he jokes, the life of an entertainer seemed a little more appealing. After graduating from venues in New Mexico to the Vegas circuit, Booth began playing California clubs with some regularity and in the late 60s/early 70s, The Tony Booth Band became the house band for the legendary Palomino Club in North Hollywood. Testament to his popularity were two wins as "Best Non-Touring Band" in 1970 and 1971 as well as "Most Promising Male Vocalist" in 1971 at the Academy Of Country Music Awards. A friendship with Buck Owens developed and with this first Capitol release, Booth stamps his own style on the Bakersfield Sound - which to this reviewer's ears, owes an awful lot to the dancehalls of Texas. After his Capitol days were through, Booth toured as bassist for a dozen years with Gene Watson's Farewell Party Band and was talked into performing again in 2006 by Heart Of Texas Records bossman Tracy Pitcox - and at the time of writing, Tony Booth was still going strong. This 1972 Capitol debut holds some true honky tonk gems from Booth at the top of his game: but rather than single out individual highlights, it might just be easier to say there aren't many duds on this stellar album, which has your toe tapping from woe to go.

No. 90 - Honky tonk maestro Dale Watson grew up in Pasadena, TX, just on the Galveston Bay side of Houston. With a father and brother who played country music, he was playing professionally by his early teens. In 1988, alt-country pioneer Rosie Flores convinced him to move to Los Angeles, where he became integral to the scene at the Palomino Club. Then it was on to Austin, a debut album on Hightone Records and a long run of critical and popular acclaim as one of the proudest, silkiest voices carrying the torch for country music. Now he's putting down new roots in Memphis TN. He's the new owner of a legendary south Memphis road house called Hernando's Hideaway, which he'll reopen after renovations this summer. He's taken his concept of Ameripolitan music to new heights with a growing Memphis festival and an awards show that just wrapped its sixth edition. And he made his new album there - his 32nd release. So there's a lot to talk about. Also, getting to know English folk singer and master guitarist John Smith, whose new album Hummingbird blends a few originals with a collection of age-old English ballads.
"The Blue" by Southern California singer/songwriter Alice Wallace from her new album, Into the Blue, released on Rebelle Road Records, has been named one fo the 10 Best Country and Americana Songs to Hear Now - along with songs by Blake Sheldon. That is pretty good national company for a woman who is is pure California country music. Her fourth album, Into the Blueharks back to the 70’s artists like Joni Mitchelle and Jackson Brown who did not have all the answers but knew how to sing the questions. Folky, romantic, soulful, and always melodic, Alice is eclectic Americana, organic, probing but understanding and often topical. Winner of an LA MUSIC CRITIC Award, Alice has performed at LA’s legendary country venue the Palomino Club, as well as many others in her average 200-gigs year. The album marks her debut on the brand-new Rebelle Road label, an imprint founded by a trio of women dedicated to strengthening the California Country music community and expanding visibility for female artists in the Americana/roots genre. The song, is pure gold, as Rolling Stone reminds us. And, theirrepressible Trevor Douglas will drop in to let us know about new shows and new music.

Screamin’ Rachael – Rachael Cain -- named the “Queen of House Music” by Billboard Magazine, was the first house artist to sign a major label deal. She launched the Hip House sound when she recorded Fun with Bad Boys with Afrika Bambaataa and has collaborated with artists including Bambaataa, Marshall Jefferson, Colonel Abrams, Grandmaster Melle Mel. An early signer to and now President of Trax Records, Rachael returns to her strong Chicago alternative roots with Don’t Make Me Lonely while working on the production with Van Christie of Die Warzau. She released a new single I Am House, and celebrated the release of the soundtrack to new film series, The Vamp Bikers Trilogy, which Cain coordinated and appears on and which includes the original “Boom Boom” from TRAX, source of friction with Kayne West for his sampling.
