The Dreadful Snakes kick-off this episode of the Back Porch Bluegrass Show, and then we've got Balsam Range, Jeremy Stephens, Dr Pete Wernick (playing some pretty way-out sounding banjo licks), Longview and Ramona Church. I've got Dale Jett & Hello Stranger back this week, and the Trenwiths (previewing their appearance at the Raglan Country & Blues Festival), and a classic from Flatt & Scruggs ( because it IS a bluegrass show!)
What connects you to the year 1946? Think of the time immediately following World War II, and perhaps black and white images of men in fedoras and women in long dresses come to mind. Maybe you have parents or grandparents who were born around that time, or maybe you know someone who lived then and has past on. It is an era that now seems quite distant for most of us, a kind of abstraction that can be read about but which remains present only in its dusty tomes and mono records. But like all eras of our past, the time when bluegrass music was born remains with us in tangible, even impactful ways. In 1946, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys recorded their first songs with new members Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, and a new genre of music was born. Born that same year in New York City was Pete Wernick, who came to know all of the Blue Grass Boys as well as most if not all of the other first-generation stars, and played with many of them eventually as well. He remains one of the few people today who embodies a direct link to this era, making it leap from the pages of history across the decades and get us tapping our feet to bluegrass music that is still being born.

Pete and I discuss Earl Scruggs and his impact on banjo and bluegrass music. This interview was done at the Earl Scruggs Music Festival. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sandy-carlton/message
When was the last time you picked up a book or a magazine instead of going to your smart phone or computer to read about music? I admit that, like so many of us these days, my first instinct is to scroll through social media or look at websites. The rise of digital media along with the ubiquity of smart phones has been nothing short of dramatic; the subsequent decline of print and other physical media is also impossible to ignore. Roots music journal No Depression, like so many others, went out of print in the midst of that sea change, although it continued online. Eventually it would reemerge, however, with new ownership and a new format as a quarterly publication, while offering a website covering music news as well as articles, columns and reviews. In an era where the expense of printing a magazine is more and more impossible to recoup, No Depression has managed to do just that. It remains as one of only a handful of music publications, and that is remarkable by itself. This is just part of our story here, though, as we welcome Assistant Editor and nodepression.com director Stacy Chandler to this episode of Southern Songs and Stories. Stacy spoke with me at the end of September, 2023 in Raleigh, North Carolina during the International Bluegrass Music Association's yearly event. Comprised of a wide ranging music industry conference as well as a music festival, the IBMAs, as it is often called, feature music panels geared towards music artists and professionals, showcase events where attendees can get introduced to new artists, and even Tai Chi classes courtesy of Jim Lauderdale. I was not up at 8 a.m. to take Jim's classes, but I did take in as much as I could in the whirlwind week of all things bluegrass, including this conversation with Stacy Chandler as well as bluegrass legend Pete Wernick, and both Steve Mougin and Ben Wright, who will be featured in upcoming episodes here. Stacy Chandler of No Depression interviewed at the IBMA conference 09-30-23 In this episode, we touch on the history of No Depression as well as some of the artists and articles in its current issue, plus we share takeaways from this year's IBMAs while we examine the bigger picture of bluegrass music in 2023. It is a far ranging conversation which focuses on one of the biggest weeks of the year for the genre, the ways bluegrass has changed over the decades, as well as the parallel story of print journalism in the age of smart phones.

Shinyribs is an Austin Texas band that began in 2007 as a side project for Kevin Russell, who also goes by Kev, and was then still committed to The Gourds, the band he had co-founded fifteen years earlier. A few years later, The Gourds released their last album, and Kev sauntered over to Shinyribs full time. Known for his showmanship on stage and for a big band approach to both the concept and performances of his music, and drawing from a smorgasbord of funky roots-rock, big band swing, Tex-Mex, screaming soul and burlesque blues, while pumping out infectious rhythms and topping it all with hooky harmony, Shinyribs is a party waiting to happen. At least that is what it sounds like on first listen, and looks like at first glance. Shinyribs is a shindig, and a large one at that, but it is also a vehicle for Kev's unique brand of poetry, which can point to deeper, darker issues at times, especially on his latest album Transit Damage. I spoke with Kev in early October 2023 on a crisp, clear autumn afternoon in the rolling foothills of the Upstate of South Carolina countryside before Shinyribs' performance as a headliner at The Albino Skunk Music Festival, where we talked about the secret sauce that went into his new album, about making good records in the studio and being equally good live, how starting Shinyribs felt like a hail mary to him at first, plus we discuss James Brown and an Albino Skunk Fest memory which parallels one of The Godfather of Soul's signature parts of his shows. There is a lot more, including live music from Shinyribs' performance from that night, all simply waiting for you to press play.

For his 99th birth anniversary, WNCW honored the late great Earl Scruggs by sharing portions of interviews with artists who knew him, broadcasting stories ranging from brief encounters in young adulthood, like Sierra Hull's memories of Earl, on to years of friendship and collaboration with guests like John McEuen and Pete Wernick (note: Sierra Hull will also be our featured guest in her upcoming episode). These conversations were rich and deep, and helped me understand Earl Scruggs as the man in ways that were at turns surprising, but always inspiring. I asked everyone here essentially the same two questions: tell us your favorite memories or stories about Earl, and talk about his impact as an artist and how that legacy continues since he has been gone. It all adds up to three and a half hours of audio (!), and it should be no surprise that there is a ton of gold to be mined in all those conversations; here is a synopsis, a sampling of everyone's thoughts, insights and memories. This episode hones in on the stories that reveal Earl Scruggs as a humble genius, a quiet and kind man who was in so many ways the same farm boy and mill worker from the foothills of western North Carolina even after living in a mansion in the heart of Nashville. Plus, there is plenty of talk about the genius and enduring legacy of Earl Scruggs, whose namesake lives on in the form of not only his vast catalog of recordings, his songwriting and revolutionary playing style, but also in the Earl Scruggs Center in his home county, housed in the county courthouse built in 1907 in downtown Shelby NC, as well as the Earl Scruggs Music Festival, which began in 2022 and continues on Labor Day weekend in 2023 in nearby Tryon NC. Earl Scruggs In this episode we welcome Kristin Scott Benson, Travis Book, Alison Brown, Sam Bush, Jeff Hanna, Vince Herman, John McEuen, Jim Mills, Earl's nephew J.T. Scruggs, Pete Wernick, and even my dad, who gives us a glimpse of what a Scruggs family gathering was like in the 1950s.

El pasado 9 de Octubre se cumplía el 80º aniversario del nacimiento de John Lennon y por ello dedicamos nuestro programa a escuchar varias de sus composiciones en las voces de músicos incluidos en el gran paraguas de la Americana. El próximo martes será obligado recordar que 40 años atrás un loco asesino que no merece ni tan siquiera que se recuerde su nombre nos privó de su presencia a las puertas del edificio Dakota de Nueva York. Por eso, hoy nos adelantamos a esa fecha para recordar cómo los más significativos músicos de Americana han mirado en alguna ocasión las canciones que John Lennon creó para formar parte de la discografía de los Beatles. El cuarteto de Liverpool grabó “One After 909” en su concierto de la terraza y esa versión en directo fue la que se incluyó en el álbum original. Era un tema de Lennon que compuso con 17 años y hacía referencia a un número, el 9, que parecía perseguirle. Nació el 9 de octubre y por entonces vivía en el 9 de Newcastle Road. Por entonces se escuchaban varias canciones que hablaban de trenes de carga como "Rock Island Line" o “Midnight Special” y John y PaulMcCartney decidieron ponerla un ritmo similar. El cuarteto llegó a grabar la canción en la primavera de 1963, durante las sesiones de "From Me to You" y "Thank You Girl”, que conformaron su tercer single, pero el resultado no les convenció y la desestimaron. Willie Nelson quiso homenajear al grupo con su propia versión. Los más veteranos artistas de country también han tenido un momento en su carrera para rememorar alguna canción de los Beatles. Kris Kristofferson también echó una mirada a los Fab 4 para versionar una canción claramente compuesta por John Lennon como fue “Paperback Writer” haciendo referencia a su faceta de escritor. Sería grabada por los Beatles cuando trabajaban en 1966 en Revolver, y aunque se editó en single en su momento, quedó fuera de sus álbumes oficiales. Se acaban de cumplir 55 años de la salida al mercado de Rubber Soul, uno de los discos más determinantes de la discografía de los Beatles y en el que las canciones de John Lennon tuvieron una significación relevante. Aquel trabajo lo cerraba “Run For Your Life”, que fue, por el contrario, la primera canción que grabaron para el disco. Para componer aquel tema sobre los celos con tonalidades de country, Lennon se basó en Elvis y su "Baby Let's Play House", utilizando incluso una frase completa de aquella canción de El Rey. John Cowan, una de las voces más potentes de la Americana, firmó en 2014 por el sello Compass para afrontar un proyecto que tituló Sixty, producido por su buen amigo y compañero de los Doobie Brothers, John McFee, y en el que pudimos encontrar una lista interminable de selectos invitados, desde Leon Russell, Alison Krauss y Rodney Crowell, hasta Bernie Leadon, Sam Bush o Chris Hillman, pasando por Huey Lewis, Bonnie Bramlett, Ray Benson y varios más. Su versión de “Run For Your Life” se convirtió en uno de los cortes de bonificación de la edición de lujo de Sixty, donde el artista de Ohio exhibió su poderío vocal. En Rubber Soul John Lennon compuso cuatro temas de forma independiente y otros tantos McCartney. También fueron cuatro en los que la pareja colaboró conjuntamente y dos los firmó George Harrison. “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” pasó a ser la primera canción de rock en la que aparecía un sitar y, como todo aquel álbum Rubber Soul al que pertenecía, marcó en música y letra un paso de gigante en la evolución de los Beatles. De hecho, John Lennon la creó como una carta a su mujer, Cynthia, admitiendo una aventura. Tim O’Brien aprovechó las tonalidades folkies para realizar una versión imponente que sirvió de cierre a su disco de 2011 Two Journeys. En realidad, escarbó en los antecedentes irlandeses del cuarteto de Liverpool, un importante puerto de entrada para tantos exiliados que buscaban trabajo. Una de las bandas míticas del bluegrass es Hot Rize, fundada en 1978 por Tim O'Brien, Pete Wernick, Charles Sawtelle y Mike Scap, aunque este último fue reemplazado muy pronto por Nick Forster. Además, tenían un divertido “alter ego” llamado Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers. En su álbum Shades In The Past incluyeron su particular versión de “Nowhere Man”, que también pertenece a Rubber Soul, el sexto álbum de los Beatles y que parece definir en un principio el carácter del propio John Lennon. Tras admitir posteriormente que consumía drogas, el personaje de esta canción fue analizado desde todos los puntos de vista posibles por los expertos. Como conclusión, aquél “hombre de ninguna parte” podía ser desde un “camello” al capitán del Submarino Amarillo. Rhett Miller, el nombre artístico de Stewart Ransom Miller II, siempre ha estado asociado a la banda Old 97’s como su líder y cantante solista. The Dreamer es el quinto álbum de estudio que graba al margen de su banda y un disco en el que se marca un cambio en sus exposiciones personales. Resultaba curioso que cuando Rhett Miller grababa en solitario tenía ciertas inclinaciones hacia el pop con cierto acento británico, mientras que con Old 97’s se manifestaba mucho más inclinado a las raíces. En 2005 se realizó un álbum dedicado al álbum Rubber Soul con motivo de su cumpleaños número 40, This Bird Has Flown – A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, y en él participó el músico tejano con esta versión de “Girl”. El siglo XXI comenzó con una película llamada I Am Sam que protagonizaron Sean Penn y Michelle Pfeiffer. Los productores pretendieron que su banda sonora estuviera compuesta de grabaciones originales de los Beatles, pero ante su imposibilidad, optaron por reunir toda una serie de versiones de la banda de Liverpool realizadas por nombres tan sonoros como Rufus Wainwright, los Wallflowers, Sheryl Crow, Nick Cave, Ben Harper o los Black Crowes, entre otros. Poco antes de su disolución en 2002, la banda de los hermanos Robinson grabó “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”, una de las composiciones de Lennon siempre controvertida que formó parte en 1967 de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, el disco que lo cambió todo. El tema de apertura del último álbum grabado por los Beatles, Abbey Road, aunque se publicara en 1969, antes que Let It Be, es uno de los más musculosos del grupo. En parte tiene que ver con la veneración de John Lennon por Chuck Berry y su entrega a las campañas en favor de la paz en las que estaba muy implicado por entonces. El tejano Delbert McClinton escogió “Come Together” para el álbum Come Together - America Salutes The Beatles de 1995, en el que participaron varios de los grandes nombres de la country music. Espléndido con la armónica, en una gira por Gran Bretaña a comienzos de los 60 con Bruce Channel, al que había acompañado en su clásico "Hey! Baby", enseñó a John Lennon algunos trucos con la armónica. Se notó mucho en “Love Me Do”. Cuando Rosanne Cash dejó el sello Columbia en 1965, la compañía publicó un recopilatorio titulado Retrospective, al que se añadió esta versión de “I’m Only Sleeping”, que John Lennon compuso para Revolver en 1966 en el reverso de una carta. Refleja a la perfección su estado de ánimo de entonces cuando no estaba de gira con los Beatles. Se pasaba el día en la cama bajo los efectos de las drogas durmiendo, escribiendo o leyendo… hasta que McCartney venía a interrumpirle para trabajar sobre las canciones. Los Beatles impulsaron el comienzo de diversas bandas del Merseybeat. Varias de sus composiciones sirvieron para que aquellos grupos empezaran a despuntar. En 1963 John Lennon entregó uno de esos temas a Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas. Era “I Call Your Name”, que él mismo había escrito antes incluso de que se formaran los Beatles en casa de su tía Mimi, con la que se crió. Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas la utilizaron como B de “Bad To Me”, otra composición del binomio Lennon/McCartney, pero no acabó de convencerlos, de tal forma que los Beatles hicieron su propia versión, apareciendo primeramente en Estados Unidos dentro del llamado Second Album y en 1964 en Gran Bretaña formando parte del EP Long Tall Sally. En 1966, The Mamas And The Papas, “la familia real de Laurel Canyon”, hicieron su debut con el álbum If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears y la dieron a conocer a nivel popular en Estados Unidos. “In My Life” se incluyó originalmente en un Lp tan imponente como Rubber Soul de los Beatles. En el texto, aunque la autoría fue compartida con McCartney, un John Lennon que acababa de cumplir 25 años recordaba con nostalgia a la gente y los lugares donde pasó una parte muy importante de sus años jóvenes. La canción tiene claras reminiscencias de “Penny Lane” y “Strawberry Fields Forever” y el músico exploraría la misma temática en los siguientes momentos de su carrera, de forma muy especial en el doble álbum del cuarteto, bien conocido como el Álbum Blanco. En 1994, Crosby, Stills & Nash editaron su álbum After The Storm coincidiendo con el 25º aniversario de su disco de debut, tras haber estado dedicados a ampliar su discografía en solitario, con dos nuevos álbumes por parte de Stills y Crosby, además de un recopilatorio de Nash. Todas las canciones de este disco que les llevó a hacer una larga gira, incluyendo el Woodstock ’94, pertenecían a los tres músicos, excepto una versión de “In My Life”. John Lennon siempre admitió las más variadas experiencias, que se fueron ampliando con el paso de los años. El rock and roll de sus comienzos dio paso a una cierta fijación por figuras como las de Elvis, los Everly Brothers o Bob Dylan y su forma de crear canciones. Si ellos podían hacerlo, Lennon también. “You've Got To Hide Your Love Away” fue una de sus primeras reflexiones sobre su manera de escribir, que había comenzado con temas como "I'm a Loser" en el verano del 64. Lennon la compuso en casa, buscando un nuevo tema para la película Help!. Jackson Browne, que al versionar a los Beatles siempre se ha inclinado por las creaciones de John Lennon, la cantó así en uno de sus homenajes. Jonathan Edwards es un veterano artista de Aitkin, Minnesota, que empezó su carrera abriendo los conciertos de B.B. King y la Allman Brothers Band, fichando por Capricorn Records y lanzando su disco de debut hace 47 años. En 2011, Jonathan Edwards publicaba su álbum My Love Will Keep incluyendo una versión de “She Loves You”, muy alejada de como conocíamos aquella canción de los Beatles que a mediados de septiembre de 1963 se editaba como single en Estados Unidos en un pequeño sello discográfico llamado Swan Records. En este caso, “She Loves You” tiene que ver con una cierta fijación de Paul McCartney con una canción de Bobby Rydell titulada “Forget Him” (“Olvídale”) y pensó en crear una dónde preguntar “¿Ella te quiere?” y que los demás contestaran “Si”. Lo comentó con Lennon y la idea quedó flotando en el ambiente. Empezaron a trastear con las guitarras en el hotel mientras estaban de gira con Roy Orbison y Gerry and the Pacemakers y terminaron aquella composición en casa de Paul al día siguiente. Jim Lauderdale también se fijó en el álbum Rubber Soul del cuarteto de Liverpool y eligió “I’m Looking Through You”, llevándose el tema hasta el sonido de Bakersfield y las influencias de Buck Owens. Producido por Phil Madeira y grabado en la Music City, Nueva York y San Francisco, el álbum Let Us In Americana contaba entre los invitados con Buddy Miller, Will Hoge, Rodney Crowell, Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show, Steve Earle y Allison Moorer.

On today's podcast, we talk to the members of legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize: Tim O'Brien, Pete Wernick, Nick Forster and Bryan Sutton. The quartet—currently celebrating their 40th year performing as a band—talks to us about the early Colorado bluegrass scene, the instruments they're currently using, Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers, songwriting and more. It's an enlightening and hilarious chat with four bluegrass icons. This week's episode is sponsored by Dying Breed Music.
Twenty years ago, Lluís Gómez heard Banjo Paris Session, an album featuring the playing of Jean-Marie Redon and Bill Keith. It completely changed this Spanish musician's life. Gómez would go on to obsess over the five-string banjo, eventually tracking down lessons with Keith, Tony Trischka and Pete Wernick. These days, Gómez is considered the “Spanish King of the Five-String Banjo.” He's a prolific performer, educator and music promoter, bringing a distinctly American music to new audiences in Europe. On this episode, he tells us about the state of banjo in Spain today, his excellent new record Dotze contes, the instruments that he loves and much more.

He's a singer and a songwriter, a fiddle and mandolin master, a band leader and a valued collaborator. Tim O'Brien has few peers in his influence on American roots music over the past 40 years. He formed the band Hot Rize in 1978 in Boulder CO with banjo player Pete Wernick, guitarist Charles Sawtelle and bass player Nick Forster. That quartet became arguably the most popular and influential bluegrass band of the 1980s and Hot Rize inspired a vibrant bluegrass scene in Colorado with its own strains and sounds. When the IBMA inaugurated its award show in 1990, Hot Rize won the first Ent of the Year prize. There's been much more - a varied solo career, duo albums considered folk masterpieces with his sister Mollie, an album called Red on Blonde that set the gold standard for Bob Dylan cover records and numerous collaborations with musicians from the US and the UK. Along the way he's had songs recorded by Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss and others. He co-founded the Earls of Leicester, the Flatt & Scruggs inspired band that's become the toast of bluegrass. He's been a case study in excellence and steadiness. Tim OBrien's newest album mingles original and cover songs dedicated to the state where it all began for him - West Virginia. It's called Where The River Meets The Road.
Tim O'Brien dropped by the Henhouse Studio here in Nashville for a conversation and a little pickin'! Tim is an indelible fixture on the acoustic music scene and is one of the most accomplished and well-versed instrumentalists out there, not to mention a hit songwriter. He has a fantastic new album out called "Pompadour" that explores all aspects of his diverse musical identity. We talked about his musical influences, how he got into music, starting the seminal Hot Rize with Pete Wernick, his songwriting, and sessions with Mark Knopfler, Steve Earle and lots more! Then we picked up a couple of axes at the end and had ourselves a little jam...

SPECIAL CONSENSUS is the Grammy nominated acoustic bluegrass band that was founded in 1975 by banjoist Greg Cahill as a showcase for his urban traditionalist take on bluegrass which encompasses elements of Chicago blues, swing, newgrass, and country music. The band's latest is 'Country Boy' a bluegrass tribute to John Denver. There is a natural affinity between bluegrass and John Denver�s repertoire but this is the first purely bluegrass tribute to the iconic singer/songwriter who died in 1997. The album showcases Special Consensus at the musical center of each track with a guest cast of Grammy-winning and International Bluegrass Music Association-winning vocalists and�instrumentalists. CANE MILL ROAD is a North Carolina youth bluegrass band formed from kids who met and bonded while performing at MerleFest. These kids have won countless blue ribbons and individually have performed on stage alongside the likes of J.D. Crowe, Pete Wernick, and Scythian. JONATHAN WILSON-RADER is a budding bluegrass star from Jessamine County. This eight year old has traveled the commonwealth, played with several well-known bluegrass musicians and just completed his first album.
Pete Wernick is one of the most famous figures in the bluegrass banjo community and a figurehead of bluegrass music. His career has spanned five and a half decades of bluegrass music. Martin sits down to talk to Dr. Wernick about bluegrass music, banjo, his role in the International bluegrass music association and Hot Rize's new record 'When I'm Free'. Enjoy! More to come in the new year.
I like how Pete Wernick did this in D. The lyrics can be pretty sad and his version caught some of that with a minor sound. The high G is tuned down to an F#, which sort of fits my unwritten rule about only changing the tune of one string for any given song. Not that re-tuning doesn't produce a great sound...
MOLLIE O�BRIEN & RICH MOORE have made music for over 30 years. After their youngest daughter went to college, they started to do some dates together which lead to the release of their debut studio album called “Saints & Sinners.� Mollie took her first step into the public eye with her brother, Tim O�Brien, and has one of the most remarkable voices in roots music. Mollie shared a Grammy with a stellar bunch of bluegrass collaborators on True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe (Sugar Hill). Rich grew up in Philadelphia with a musical family. He is well-known and well-loved in Colorado's acoustic music family and has lived and performed here for over 25 years. He made his reputation in recent years as the rhythmic bedrock for Pete Wernick's Live Five. He is guitarist of choice for folk legend Tom Paxton, who invariably requests Moore as a sideman for his Colorado shows.GARY BENNETT is a founding member of the critically acclaimed country music band BR549, who recorded five well-received albums, received three Grammy nominations and was hailed by music industry trade magazine Billboard as having single-handedly revived the soul of country music in Nashville.
