On today's show is Missy Raines, one of the great bluegrass bassists out there, not to mention a fabulous singer and songwriter. Bluegrass bass playing is a funny thing - on the surface it seems simple. But there's a whole other level to it, and when you hear someone like Junior Huskey do it, or Mike Bub, or Dennis Crouch, or Missy Raines, they all play at that level. There's a way the really good players place their notes, there's the tone, and it all comes down to the bed that the bass players lay for the other players in the band to live in. And that's the hard part. Once you get a chance to play with someone of that calibre it becomes much clearer what great bassist brings to the table, and Missy is one of the best. She's been releasing albums under her own name since 1998, and her latest recording just came out a couple months ago - it's called “Highlander” and it's a killer record that features her band Allegheny as well as guests like Kathy Mattea, Michael Cleveland, Darol Anger, and Rob Ickes. Missy is from West Virginia, and she was lucky enough to grow up in an area that had a strong bluegrass scene that she got to experience first hand. She's lived in Nashville for a long time now, and is on the road alot these days. She's won multiple IBMA awards for Bass Player of the Year, and has performed with legends like Mac Wiseman, Peter Rowan and Josh Graves. Aside from her accomplishments in the bluegrass world, Missy swerved over into more experimental territory a few years back and had a band going called The New Hip, who made a couple of incredible records well worth checking out as well that feature her songwriting in a less traditional context. But these days she's pretty focussed on traditional bluegrass and has one of the best bands on the scene, so make sure you go see them if they come through your area.

Dobro master Rob Ickes joins me on the show this week. Rob was kind enough to drop in to the Henhouse to hang for a while, talk and even play a little bit. Rob is one of those players that is so good on one particular instrument that he's managed to carve out a really impressive career being dedicated to just one thing. And that one thing is the dobro, which is kind of a specific instrument - It's somewhat married to bluegrass music, but a very few players, and that list includes Rob and Jerry Douglas (and maybe one or two others), have managed to bring it to wider audiences through sessions and performances outside of that genre, while maintaining their standing at the highest level within it. Rob grew up in California, but moved to Nashville in the early 90's and really established himself as a pre-eminent player with a long stint in the acclaimed bluegrass band Blue Highway. He left the band in 2015 to focus on his duo with the incredible singer and guitarist Trey Hensley, who was on this show a couple of years ago. Rob's impressive session history includes working with artists like Merle Haggard, Taj Mahal, Willie Nelson, Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, Charlie Haden, Dolly Parton, Allison Krauss, Little Feat, Patty Loveless and many more. And while the session world keeps calling, Rob has never wanted to solely become a studio player, so he keeps busy on the road as much as he can, and the duo with Trey is incredibly busy now. Their latest release as Rob and Trey is called “Living In A Song”. On top of all that, Rob continues to teach and run his successful “Resosummit” each year here in Nashville.You can get info on all of Rob's activities as well as his tour dates with Trey Hensley over at robickes.com - Enjoy my conversation with Rob Ickes!This season is brought to you by our sponsors Larivée Guitars and Fishman AmplificationYou can join our Patreon here to get all episodes ad-free, as well as access to all early episodesThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.com Get ad-free episodes and access to all early episodes by subscribing to Patreon.

Mississippi John Hurt  wychowywał się i spędził większość w Avalon w stanie Mississippi. Był wokalistą i gitarzystą bluesowy i countrowym. W latach dwudziestych nagrał dla wytwórni OKEH Records kilka płyt. Okazały się komercyjnymi porażkami i zarzucił publiczne muzykowanie mniej więcej na 35 lat. Do 1963 roku. Wtedy, na fali  tzw. „folg revival” Ameryka zainteresowała się muzykiem. Hurt wystąpił na słynnym Newport Folk festiwal. Tam został gwiazdą. Nie na długo, zmarł 3 lata roku na zawał serca. Pozostawił po sobie całkiem sporo nagrań. Jedno z najsłynniejszych, to  “Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me”. Piosenka została opublikowana dopiero w 1972 roku, choć powstała w latach 20. Opowiada o człowieku zmęczonym życiem, kochanki nie może znaleźć, z żoną mu źle, uciekłby przed nią przez morze, chętnie by odszedł, ale nie stać go na bilet na parowiec. No więc marzy o tym że po śmierci znajdzie spokój w głębiach oceanu flirtując z syrenami. Autorstwo tekstu jest przypisywane wydawcy Williamowi Meyerowi, choć niektóre źródła wskazują że tekst napisał Hurt. A muzyka? Muzykę zaczerpnął John z innej piosenki. To kolejny przebój amerykańskiego folku.  „Waiting For The Train” Jimmi Rodgers napisał i nagrał w 1929 roku. Opowiada o mężczyźnie wracającym do domu, który za brak biletu zostaje wyrzucony z pociągu i wiedzie życie włóczęgi. Rodgers pisząc utwór zaadaptował z kolei na swoje potrzeby XIX wieczna piosenkę z Anglii. Spisał tekst tak jak zapamiętał a producent Ralph Peer pomógł zmodyfikować melodię tak aby była dostosowana do podobno niezbyt dużego repertuaru akordów, jakie potrafił Rogers zagrać. Nie przeszkadzało to zostać piosence wielkim przebojem. Pomógł w tym październikowy krach na giełdzie w Nowym Jorku w 1929 roku. Tekst piosenki stał się bardzo aktualny. Niektórzy znawcy tematu uważają, że to Jimmy Rodgers a nie Woody Guthrie był prawdziwym głosem kryzysu. W tym samym roku Rodgers wystąpił w filmie wyprodukowanym przez Columbia Pictures, w którym śpiewał „Waiting For The Train”. Był to w zasadzie jeden z pierwszych teledysków muzyki counrty. Wracając do korzeni piosenki, pierwowzorem podobno była londyńska ballada z połowy XIX wieku „Standing For The Platform”. Historia mężczyzny, który spotkał na dworcu kolejowym kobietę, która później fałszywie oskarżyła go o napaść. Pod koniec XIX wieku opublikowano na wersję ballady pod tytułem: „Wild and Reckless Hobo” („Dziki i lekkomyślny włóczęga”). Ale żeby nie było zbyt łatwo. Niektórzy amerykańscy znawcy tematu  źródeł piosenki Rodgersa upatrują gdzie indziej. Twierdzą, że Rodgers był zainspirowany amerykańską folkową piosenką z końca XIX wieku „I've been Working on the Railroad”.

This week we feature the phenomenal singer and guitar picker Trey Hensley and his musical partner, Dobro master Rob Ickes.  We talk about how they came to start performing together and their newest recording, Living In A Song.

Two of Nashville's finest musicians have teamed up once again for a new album. On the recently released  'Living In A Song,' Dobro master Rob Ickes and guitarist Trey Hensley perform a collection of tunes that showcase their songwriting chops. On this week's podcast, we talk about the making of the album, Rob's background (he's a rare Dobro player who didn't start out on guitar!), the art of co-writing, working with Taj Mahal, the gear they use, Doc Watson, and much more.

Since their debut, Before the Sun Goes Down, in 2014, Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley have made a name for themselves as some of the hottest country and bluegrass players in the business. As individuals, their credits range from Willie Nelson to Earl Scruggs to Merle Haggard—and as a duo, they've toured and recorded with artists including Tommy Emmanuel, Taj Mahal, Jorma Kaukonen & Hot Tuna, Luther Dickinson, and Molly Tuttle. It's likely their forthcoming full-length release, Living in a Song, will only bolster their already impressive reputation.Out on February 10th, Living in a Song is a new collection of two covers and 10 originals that were inspired by Ickes and Hensley's life on the road. They collaborated with long-time producer Brent Maher (Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson) along with some award-winning songwriters to compose a total of 40 songs, which were then trimmed down to the resulting selection. That final cut of material leans into a classic country sound, with some Americana and bluegrass thrown in.Along with the aforementioned credits, Ickes and Hensley have long been established, separately, as formidable musicians. Ickes has been International Bluegrass Music Association Dobro Player of the Year an incredible 15 times, and Hensley made his debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry at just 11 years old. In other words, the two have been around the block, and especially know their way around dobros and flattop acoustics.Earlier this month, PG's John Bohlinger met up with the duo at 3Sirens Studio in Nashville, where they played some mind-blowing music, and gave a rundown of some of their favorite guitars and gear.Brought to you by D'Addario Humidipak.

Interview With A Bible Believer: Andy Leftwich Part 1 My sins were forgiven and my soul was saved in 2010 when I made the ever-important decision to trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. From that time until now, the Lord has allowed me to meet many incredible people within the Bible-Believing world. Not least of which is Andy Leftwich. He is a child prodigy who went on to play the fiddle professionally from a very young age. Eventually, the Lord began to deal with his heart regarding his faithfulness to the Lord. Andy made some very difficult decisions, decisions meant to please God rather than man. To those of you with great musical talent, I pray this interview will greatly encourage you and help you in your service to Jesus Christ. Learn More About Andy Leftwich: https://andyleftwich.com/about/Four-time Grammy-winning instrumentalist Andy Leftwich began playing the fiddle at the age of six, entering his first contest at seven, and winning the National Championship for Beginners at the age of twelve.

“Is The Same Old Train… Just A Different Time”. Es el mismo viejo tren… sólo un tiempo diferente. Así ha sido y seguirá siendo TOMA UNO, un programa que reúne el pasado, el presente y parte del futuro de la música de raíces norteamericana. En la edición número 41 de los premios Grammy, la de 1998, este tema que compuso Marty Stuart se llevó la estatuilla a la mejor colaboración vocal de country. Era "Same Old Train", que cerraba el álbum Tribute To Tradition, y donde podíamos encontrar las voces de, nombrados por orden alfabético, Clint Black, los tristemente desaparecidos Joe Diffie y Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless, Earl Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, Pam Tillis, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt y Dwight Yoakam. La country music sigue siendo un estilo musical claramente enraizado con su tierra y hoy vamos a acercarnos a él para escuchar esas formaciones circunstanciales que en algún momento han permitido que escucháramos juntos a modo de supergrupos a artistas de una categoría extrema como ocurrió en 1994 cuando Carl Perkins, el legendario guitarrista Duane Eddy y los Mavericks, capitaneados por Raúl Malo, grababan juntos una versión espectacular del tema para el álbum Red Hot + Country que reunió a distintos artistas del género para recaudar fondos en la lucha contra el SIDA. Carl Perkins es un referente de los pioneros del rock and roll y una pieza clave también entre los guitarristas de la country music, buen amigo y compañero de Johnny Cash y de tantos otros. "Matchbox" es un blues de Blind Lemon Jefferson que se convirtió en un clásico del rockabilly gracias a la versión realizada por el músico de Tennessee en 1957 durante su etapa de Sun Records. A Portrait of Merle Haggard llegaba en 1969 con “Workin' Man Blues" como tema más destacado. Puede entenderse como un cierto homenaje a una parte muy importante de sus seguidores, la clase trabajadora, con ese orgullo por el trabajo bien hecho y el sacrificio, con referencias a la familia y al relax en el bar con una buena cerveza y mejor música. Es uno de los mejores ejemplos de lo que es el Bakersfield Sound. "Workin' Man Blues" sobresalía junto a "Silver Wings" y "Hungry Eyes" en aquel registro, contando con músicos como James Burton, Lewis Talley y una base de ritmo compuesta por el bajista Chuck Berghofer y el batería Jim Gordon. Esta vez eran Diamond Rio junto a Leroy Parnell y Steve Wariner quienes se recrearon en el tema bajo el nombre de Jed Zeppelin. Cuando hablamos de supergrupos inesperados, no todo el mundo recuerda a Buzzin 'Cousins, que estaban formados por John Mellencamp, Dwight Yoakam, el recientemente fallecido John Prine, Joe Ely y James McMurtry. Fue una idea de Mellencamp que con la edición den single “Sweet Suzanne” convirtió en un one-hit wonder intentando responder en cierta forma a los Travelin’ Wilburys. Era el año 1992 y él debutaba como actor y director en la película Falling From Grace, basado en el Lonesome Dove del que era autor Larry McMurtry. Con Mariel Hemingway, Kay Lenz y los veteranos Claude Akins y Dub Taylor, aquel drama familiar tenían muchas similitudes con la biografia del artista de Indiana. Su banda sonora nos dejó canciones propias y la participación de amigos como Nanci Griffith, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine o Janis Ian. Pero fue su pieza central, la sorprendente “Sweet Suzanne”, el tema que nos cautivó. Cada uno de los cinco componentes de los Buzzin 'Cousins aportaba su propia idiosincrasia, especialmente vocal. Incluso fueron nominados para el Evento Vocal del Año por la CMA. Han pasado 16 años desde que en 2004 Raúl Malo, Pat Flynn, Rob Ickes y Dave Pomeroy se reunieron para recrearse en versionar algunas canciones que mostraban su evidente eclecticismo y editar aquel proyecto bajo el nombre de The Nashville Acoustic Sessions. Allí estaba “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” para nuestro disfrute. Cuando Bob Dylan publicó en 1975 el álbum Blood On The Tracks, que muchos consideran uno de los álbumes más inspirados a nivel literario de toda su discografía, no fueron demasiados los que se fijaron en “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go”, una canción que tiene mucho que ver con el final de la relación amorosa con su mujer, Sara, de quien se divorció en 1977. Curiosamente, Dylan no ha cantado el tema desde hace más de 40 años. En 1994, dentro del proyecto Red Hot + Country para luchar contra el SIDA, Suzy Bogguss, Alison Krauss y Kathy Mattea unieron sus voces con las de Crosby, Stills & Nash para realizar esta versión antológica de un clásico tan significativo como “Teach Your Children”, que había sido grabado a finales de Octubre de 1969 por aquel supergrupo nacido en las colinas de Laurel Canyon, con la incorporación de Neil Young, para que formara parte del álbum Déjà Vu. Una canción pacifista creada por Graham Nash a la que Stephen Stills incorporó un medio tiempo de country con el añadido del steel guitar de Jerry Garcia, líder de Grateful Dead. La canadiense k.d. lang siempre ha sido una cuidadosa defensora de la tradición de la country music, algo habitual en sus conciudadanos, pero cuando apareció desde su natal Consort, en la provincia de Alberta, con una clásica voz campera, una banda de acompañamiento que era más rock'n'roll que country y la determinación de crear un sonido propio, estaba haciendo algo que no tenía precedentes. Patsy Cline, la mítica artista de Virginia es su influencia definitiva y en su tercera grabación, Shadowland, The Owen Bradley Sessions, contó incluso con la producción de quién la consiguió sus mayores éxitos: Owen Bradley. Prescindió de su propia banda, The Reclines, y utilizó a los mejores músicos de estudio de Nashville, algunos de los cuales habían participado originalmente en las sesiones de Patsy. El disco se convirtió en uno de los más respetados de 1988 y para la canción de cierre contó con el apoyo vocal de Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn y Kitty Wells. En el video se incorporaba, además, la mítica Minnie Pearl. Bajo el título de "Honky Tonk Angel's Medley" pudimos escuchar “In The Evening When The Sun Goes Down”, “You Nearly Lose Your Mind” y “Blues Stay Away From Me”. En 1993 apareció el álbum Honky Tonk Angels en el que la siempre inquieta Dolly Parton se unió en formato de trío a dos leyendas como Tammy Wynette y Loretta Lynn para grabar el álbum Honky Tonk Angels, una colección de canciones que celebraba el papel de la mujer en la country music. Para versionar el clásico de J.D. Miller “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonks Angels” que en 1952 fue grabado por Kitty Wells como respuesta a "The Wild Side of Life" de Hank Thompson, recuperaron a la mítica vocalista de Nashville, resultando un legendario cuarteto impagable en el terreno de la country music. Neoyorquino de Corning, Duane Eddy, que este viernes cumplió 82 años, es posiblemente el instrumentista de rock’n’roll más popular e influyente de su tiempo y, junto a Chuck Berry, el responsable de que se popularizara la guitarra eléctrica por entonces. Eddy está considerado como el máximo responsable del llamado twang factor, dando un gran protagonismo a las cuerdas bajas. Era el año 1977 cuando Duane Eddy conjugo un supergrupo impensable, al reunirse con Waylon Jennings, su mujer Jessi Colter (con quien el guitarrista había estado casado con anterioridad), Willie Nelson y otros amigos para revitalizar “You Are My Sunshine” en un extraño single que hoy hemos rescatado del pasado. Roger Miller es uno de los artistas tejanos que no pueden olvidarse. Tras pasar tres años en Corea, donde fué asignado a los Servicios Especiales, intentó ser reconocido como compositor en Nashville mientras realizaba cualquier trabajo eventual. Grabó en RCA sin ninguna repercusión, pero encontró una buena via escribiendo éxitos para Del Shannon, Ray Price y Andy Williams, entre otros, en los 60. Cuando consiguió fichar por Mercury las cosas cambiaron. "King Of The Road" fue un claro ejemplo, obteniendo un tremendo éxito en 1965 en su propia voz. La letra habla de cómo una persona común también puede sentirse libre y se describe a sí mismo como el rey de la carretera. Su homenaje en forma de disco, King Of The Road. A Tribute To Roger Miller, ha reunido a Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves, Merle Haggard en una de sus últimas grabaciones, Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, Brad Paisley y Ringo Starr, entre otros que han cerrado el trabajo con esta versión conjunta de aquella canción inolvidable. Probablemente, “Amazing Grace” es el himno más popular de los creados en el idioma inglés, y pudiera ser porque sus palabras describen perfectamente a su autor: John New­ton que era un comerciante de esclavos antes de convertirse al cristianismo. La pieza fue compuesta entre 1760 y 1770, posiblemente para un servicio semanal. A lo largo de los años, distintos escritores han añadido versos que bien pudieran proceder también de otros himnos escritos por John Newton. La música, eso sí, es de dos virginianos que la crearon con el nombre de “New Bri­tain”. En 1994 se filmó la película Maverick, basada en la serie de televisión de los años 50 del mismo nombre. Con Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster y James Garner encabezando el reparto, la banda sonora de la cinta resultó ser lo más destacable. Su tema de cierre fue una versión coral de “Amazing Grace” en la que intervenían una pléyade interminable de estrellas de la escena del country de la década de los 90 que hoy nos dejan en la parada final de nuestro viejo tren... pero en un tiempo diferente.

ROB ICKES AND TREY HENSLEY are a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene. Rob is a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and Trey a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11. White-hot picking and stone country vocals are still the driving force of the duo, but now with added grit and a nod to the rootsier side of Americana. Their new Compass Records album is ‘World Full of Blues’. LARRY CAMPBELL & TERESA WILLIAMS have been called “The First Couple of Americana” (Mojo). Multi-instrumentalist-singer-songwriter Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams’ acclaimed eponymous 2015 debut, released after seven years of playing in Levon Helm’s band – and frequent guesting with Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Phil Lesh, Little Feat, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassady, brought to the stage the crackling creative energy of a decades-long offstage union. A whirlwind of touring and promo followed, and when the dust cleared, the duo was ready to do it all again on ‘Contraband Love’, their new album on Red House Records and a riskier slice of Americana. WoodSongs Kid: Duncan Stiit is a fifteen-year-old award-winning dobro player from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Hemos sabido que Jackson Browne ha dado positivo por coronavirus tras un reciente viaje a Nueva York para actuar en Love Rocks NYC en la Gran Manzana. Al parecer, los síntomas son bastante leves por lo que no requiere ningún tipo de medicación ni hospitalización. Tan solo hacer lo que todos nosotros: quedarse en casa. El artista ha hecho un llamamiento a todos, y en especial a los más jóvenes, para que tomemos parte en la imprescindible respuesta global para detener la propagación del Covid-19. Hoy abrimos el tiempo de TOMA UNO con "A Little Too Soon to Say", la primera muestra sonora de su próximo álbum, que prevé publicar en octubre y que suena especialmente oportuna. Antes, en el verano, formará parte de una gira conjunta con James Taylor. También ha regresado Gordon Lightfoot, un icono de la música canadiense venerado por varias generaciones de seguidores, críticos y músicos. Con 81 años, acaba de publicar Solo, un título perfecto para estar fechas de introspección que supone su vigésimo primer álbum de estudio en una carrera que ya ocupa siete décadas. Todo comenzó en su casa, con el descubrimiento de una caja de cintas que contenían grabaciones de hace alrededor de 20 años en las que estaba acompañado simplemente por su guitarra. Probó a revisarlas y arreglarlas para su grupo de acompañamiento, pero decidió mantener la desnudez y la simplicidad del momento de su creación, al estilo de Springsteen con Nebraska. Canciones como “Return Into Dust” son las primeras que este trovador de Orillia, en la provincia de Ontario, lanza en los últimos 16 años. El Record Store Day es una fecha que reivindica las pequeñas tiendas de discos independientes. Esas a las que apoyaremos más que nunca cuando pase esta cuarentena. Para la próxima celebración se van acumulando discos especiales como es el caso de un single de Steve Earle con una versión al tema "Times Like These" que originalmente grabó para Songs for Slim: Rockin' Here Tonight, una recopilación editada hace siete años a favor de Slim Dunlap, guitarrista de la vieja escuela que reemplazó en el 87 a Bob Stinson en los Replacements. Un ataque cardíaco le retiró de la escena en 2012 y amigos como Lucinda Williams, Jakob Dylan, Jeff Tweedy, Patterson Hood o el propio Steve Earle procuraron recopilar dinero para él. “Time Like This” dio título en 1996 al segundo y último álbum en solitario de Slim Dunlap, nativo de Plainview, en Minnesota. Además, en la tercera semana de mayo sale a la venta Ghosts of West Virginia, el último álbum de Steve Earle & The Dukes, centrado en la explosión de la mina de carbón Upper Big Branch que mató en 2010 a veintinueve hombres en ese estado. Partiendo de uno de los peores desastres mineros en la historia de Estados Unidos, el artista traza diez retratos sonoros con la habilidad que siempre han caracterizado sus composiciones, explorando como la minería ha sacado a la luz un evidente sentido de unidad y orgullo. “John Henry Was A Steel Drivin’ Man” es uno de los ejemplos de cómo Steve Earle aprecia la necesidad de aprender a comunicarnos entre nosotros y se esfuerza en ello. Dentro de poco menos de un mes estará publicado Mountain Standard Time, el nuevo proyecto de Chris Roberts, uno de los más refutados miembros de la comunidad musical de Nashville, desde sus facetas de compositor, vocalista y productor. Ha sido responsable de musicales, compositores de canciones de éxito, colaborador junto a artistas de prestigio e incluso ha compuesta música para la gran pantalla. Pero el bluegrass es una de sus debilidades y para ese nuevo álbum vez ha querido llevar a ese terreno un tema que en 1970 grabaron Charlie Louvin y Melba Montgomery. Esta vez, Chris Roberts se ha unido a Ashley Campbell acompañados por músicos de la talla del mandolinista Casey Campbell, Rob Ickes en la guitarra o Dennis Crouch en el bajo. Carla Olson ha venido a poner un toque de nostalgia a estas fechas con la publicación de Have Harmony Will Travel 2, siguiendo el camino marcado por la primera entrega de hace siete años. Ahora son 11 duetos con invitados como Stephen McCarthy de los Long Ryders, Vince Melouney, que fuera bajista de los Bee Gees o Terry Reid, entre otros, además de resucitar literalmente las voces de Percy Sledge y Gene Clark. Junto a Peter Noone, ídolo de los mejores años de la British Invasion y líder de los Herman's Hermits de Manchester, ha recuperado “Goodbye My Love”, una canción que grabó originalmente Jimmy Hughes, primo de Percy Sledge, y que pasó a ser un gran éxito de los Searchers de Liverpool en 1965. El dúo de Carla Olson en Have Harmony Will Travel 2 con Timothy B. Schmit en esta deliciosa versión de "A Child’s Claim to Fame" nos retrotrae al segundo álbum de Buffalo Springefield, allá por 1967, cuando escuchamos por primera vez aquella composición de Richie Furay, Y, por supuesto, nos recuerda los días del ahora bajista de los Eagles como miembro de Poco, cuando el tema apareció como parte de un medley, entre “Hard Luck” y “Pickin Up The Pieces”, en el álbum Deliverin’ el tercero de la banda y el primero en vivo. En esta mirada por el retrovisor podemos escuchar incluso a Rusty Young tocando el banjo, el dobro y la guitarra acústica. La herencia de los grandes pioneros se hace presente gracias a bandas como The Sunset Canyoneers, que debutan con el álbum High In The Sky, en cuyo tema central nos recuerdan lo que es estar en la carretera viviendo como un espíritu libre. Un bellísimo tema de country cósmico bañado por la brisa californiana. "High in the Sky" está grababa en Oakdale, conocida como "Cowboy Capital of the World", en el salón de la casa del bajista de la banda William Duke y despliega todo el sentimiento de libertad que en esta situación debemos mantener por encima de todo, aunque estemos recluidos en casa. Sam Blasucci y Clay Finch son Mapache, un dúo de tintes fronterizos que comparte historias de aventuras en las que, en el fondo, siempre se anhela el regreso a casa. From Liberty Street lleva una semana en el mercado y es el resultado de compartir con sus vecinos de Echo Park, en Los Ángeles, el espacio creativo en el que exploran nuevos sonidos comunitarios. El disco, además, establece ese encuentro natural con el folclore tradicional y los sabores hispanos, ejemplo de lo que supone vivir en el sur de California y de la importancia de la cultura mejicana en ese entorno. De hecho hay algunas canciones dentro de este trabajo interpretadas directamente en español, aunque “Right Between The Lines”, uno de sus cortes más destacados, no es un ejemplo. A pesar de esta situación inusual, las novedades siguen llegando hasta el tiempo de TOMA UNO y aquí está "Thinkin 'Bout You All Night", un nuevo tema de Reckless Kelly que formará parte de su próximo álbum American Jackpot. Trata sobre la facilidad de obsesionarse con los ex tras una ruptura. Es una canción viajera compuesta en la carretera y en los diversos estados por los que el quinteto pasó durante una larga gira. Así Willy Braun, su compositor, dice que Colorado, California y Oregón fueron los lugares que conformaron un tema al que se incorporó en piano de Bukka Allen y la guitarra de Chris Masterson. American Jackpot es parte de un álbum doble, junto con American Girls, y supone el primer lanzamiento de la banda desde Sunset Motel de hace cinco años. Quien recuerde a Lou Ford o a los Loudermilks recordarán el espíritu poético de los hermanos Edwards, Chad y Lee, afincados en Charlotte, en Carolina del Norte. Así ha ocurrido en el último cuarto de siglo con su intento de poner al día con una finura especial las esencias del country rock. A. Lee Edwards bebe en los orígenes de la vieja escuela y sus composiciones tienen la seguridad de quien ha estabilizados sus cimientos y les ha dado consistencia. Escribe de forma inteligente y es multidimensional. Con su base en Franklin, también en Carolina del Norte, Alan Lee Edwards nos ha dejado un tema de la sobriedad y el músculo de "South of Sylva", que nos permite seguir confiando en su ya probado talento. Este domingo cerramos nuestro encuentro sonoro de cada fin de semana con Tracy Grammer, pareja artística del fallecido Dave Carter, con quien formó uno de los dúos de folk más recomendables de la última década del siglo XX. Nacida en Florida pero crecida en el sur de California, Tracy decidió seguir su carrera en solitario desde la inesperada muerte en 2002 de su socio debido a un infarto y hasta la fecha ha publicado cuatro trabajos en los que conserva el gusto por los sonidos clásicos, llenos de frescura y con un evidente tinte emocional. Así queda reflejado en su reciente versión "If I Needed You" una canción del inmortal Townes Van Zandt que ha recibido las más variopintas versiones, pero que en este caso conserva fielmente el espíritu con el que fue creada.

My guest this month is the phenomenal guitarist, singer and songwriter Trey Hensley. Trey has been burning it up the last few years with dobro maestro Rob Ickes in their aptly-named duo Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley. Hensley grew up in East Tennessee and started singing in a gospel group when he was 6 years old. A few years later, his parents took him to a bluegrass festival where the lineup included back-to-back sets by bluegrass legends Charlie Waller and Jimmy Martin. Hensley decided then and there that he wanted to play guitar. By the time he was 11, he had given the life-changing first performance on the Grand Ole Opry playing guitar with Earl Scruggs and Marty Stuart. Trey had some incredible experiences with Johnny Cash and Tom T Hall making solo records as a youngster, but really came into his own when he teamed up with Ickes and they started making their duo records, which are essentially acoustic, but they veer into electric territory at times too, and I think there’s more electric fun on the horizon with these two. Their last record was nominated for a Grammy, and their brand new album “World Full of Blues” is a killer recording that features guest appearances by Vince Gill and Taj Mahal. But it’s Rob and Trey’s stellar playing that holds it all down, and shows they are one of the most adventurous musical duos out there. They tour constantly, so be sure to go check them out when they come to a venue near you. Trey was kind enough to drop by The Henhouse and hang for a good while to talk about all of his experiences and play some killer guitar for us as well!

ROB ICKES AND TREY HENSLEY are a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene. Rob is a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and Trey a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11. White-hot picking and stone country vocals are still the driving force of the duo, but now with added grit and a nod to the rootsier side of Americana. Their new Compass Records album is ‘World Full of Blues'. LARRY CAMPBELL & TERESA WILLIAMS have been called “The First Couple of Americana” (Mojo). Multi-instrumentalist-singer-songwriter Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams' acclaimed eponymous 2015 debut, released after seven years of playing in Levon Helm's band – and frequent guesting with Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Phil Lesh, Little Feat, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Cassady, brought to the stage the crackling creative energy of a decades-long offstage union. A whirlwind of touring and promo followed, and when the dust cleared, the duo was ready to do it all again on ‘Contraband Love', their new album on Red House Records and a riskier slice of Americana. WoodSongs Kid: Duncan Stiit is a fifteen-year-old award-winning dobro player from Knoxville, Tennessee.

That radio countdown never sounded so sweet. Not since our first night on WSM in October 2009 did the top of the show – with its shot of Rob Ickes dobro and our emcee’s stentorian voice proclaiming us on the air from the Edge of Music City – have so much electricity for me. Yes, I know we send a video feed of MCR out over the internet across much greater distances than the footprint of an FM signal. But in my opinion, radio will always be the most refined and exciting and substantial medium – the one that matches technology and content in the most timeless and spiritual way. I mean, think about it. The voices and instrumental sounds of Nashville’s finest musician and distinguished visiting talent went into microphones on stage, imprinting their nuances and truth onto a current of electricity. That signal went to a mixing board and then over an internet line to a studio in Murfreesboro where it was processed for broadcast and then sent a few more miles to a tower west of Percy Priest Lake where it was sent rippling across the land, reaching all of Middle Tennessee with rich analog fidelity. During the second set, I went out to listen in my car for a bit just to make sure it was real. After a number of months without that official radio home, we were back, and not on just any station, but a new Nashville-centric Americana station programmed by my friends and teammates, now known as WMOT/Roots Radio 89.5. It was a moving thing to hear. Such elaborate hardware deserves top quality software and our guest artists brought it on this night dedicated to previewing the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Festival and celebrating the 1927 Bristol Session, as updated on the double album Orthophonic Joy.
