The incredible guitarist Duke Levine joins me on the show today. Back in the 90's and early 2000's when I was just getting started, Duke was putting out all these really amazing twangy instrumental guitar records. He actually started out as almost a fusion guy on his first album, but pretty quickly veered off into this highly original guitar style that has elements of blues, jazz, country, bebop and influences like Roy Buchanan, Ray Flacke, Albert Lee, I hear Wes Montgomery and Jerry Reed in there as well. The first record I heard of his was called “Country Soul Guitar” and I feel like at that time, the early 90's, no one was really playing anything like that. He's primarily a tele player and just has an incredible touch and tone that makes him a totally unique player. He put out a couple more records in that vein, but pretty quickly got scooped up as a sideperson, playing guitar for artists like Shawn Colvin, Peter Wolf, J Geils, Bill Morrissey, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Slaid Cleaves, Jonatha Brooke, and eventually his current employer, the untouchable Bonnie Raitt. The hired gun gigs really became his bread and butter and he spent the better part of the last 25 years touring with alot of those folks. Duke came up in the New England club scene, and has basically stayed in the area his whole life. During the pandemic, he put out a string of really interesting videos featuring stellar guitar playing that you can watch, and some of those videos became what makes up his most recent and amazing EP “Left To My Own Devices”.You can get info on all of Duke's activities as well as his tour dates with Bonnie Raitt over at dukelevine.com - Enjoy my conversation with Duke Levine!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.

Today on The Arwen Lewis Show - Arwen welcomes Music Artist A third generation Austinite, Al splits his time between Houston and the Big Bend high desert area of Far West Texas. His album of new music, Somewhere in West Texas, recorded in Marfa, TX, features an all-star lineup of musicians, including Fran Christina (Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bonnie Raitt), Scrappy Jud Newcomb (Ian McLagan, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Patty Griffin, Slaid Cleaves) and Chris Maresh (Eric Johnson, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Wayne Shepherd). Al says of the album: "Great songs, two guitars, bass, drums, and a cloud of dust - recorded way out West." Jimmie Dale Gilmore says, “Something Good is Gonna Happen - in fact it already has! The new album, “Somewhere in West Texas” by Al Staehely is full of heart, humor, and fun. This recording is a long overdue, surprising, genre-leaping addition to the catalog of an iconic rock star. His Texas roots shine through as do the musicianship and pitch-perfect, no-frills production.

Today you have the pleasure of learning more about Slade Cleaves.  He picked these five records:   SWORDFISHTROMBONES – TOM WAITS NEBRASKA - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN LIBRARY OF CONGRESS RECORDINGS - WOODY GUTHRIE MISSION OF THE CROSSROADS PALMS - STEVE FORBERT DEAR DANGER- BILLY HARVEY   Joseph Hudak of Rolling Stone Country calls Cleaves “a master storyteller, one influenced not by the shine of pop-culture but by the dirt of real life.”   While he released a handful of recordings during the early '90s, he gained significant notice with No Angel Knows, which was released on Rounder's Philo subsidiary in 1997. Joined by former Lucinda Williams guitarist and producer Gurf Morlix, and combined his interest in folk songs, early rock and roll, and traditional country music into an amalgamation of styles becoming known at that time as Americana. After reading in Rolling Stone about Bruce Springsteen's inspirations for the Nebraska album, he climbed into his parents' attic to rediscover the treasure trove of albums which he recalled hearing as a child – Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry - and which became his guide to becoming a stellar songwriter. After signing with Jimmy LaFave's Music Road Records, he issued Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away (2009, featuring liner notes from fan Stephen King), the two-disc Sorrow & Smoke: Live at the Horseshoe Lounge (2011), and Still Fighting the War (2013), produced by beloved Austin guitarist Scrappy Jud Newcomb. The album was praised as "one of the year's best albums" by American Songwriter and "carefully crafted, . . . songs about the struggles of the heart in hard times" by the Wall Street Journal. The New York Daily News called his music "a treasure hidden in plain sight," while the Austin Chronicle declared, "there are few contemporaries that compare. He's become a master craftsman on the order of Guy Clark and John Prine."

On this episode of 'Why We Write with Kim Ruehl,' Slaid Cleaves talks about the tricks he has for writing good songs, thinking of them like crossword puzzles, and his high school band with Rod Picott.

Harmoni Kelley is a nationally touring bassist and vocalist from Austin, Texas, currently on tour with country music superstar, Kenny Chesney. A self-taught musician, Harmoni picked up the bass guitar at age 17 and hasn't looked back. With over two decades of experience both on the road and in the studio, she has mastered the art of playing by ear and understands the importance of being able to lay back, listen and play for the song.During her time as a young musician in Austin, Harmoni worked her way up through the ranks and spent time both in the studio and on the road with local legends Fastball, James McMurtry, Slaid Cleaves and Bob Schneider to name a few. Those years proved to be the most important in starting Harmoni down the path of honing in on her craft as a bass player and vocalist. She cut her teeth with bands of all musical genres from rock, pop, blues, funk, bluegrass, country and americana. In 2013, Harmoni had the opportunity to make the move to Nashville, TN and jumped at the chance. During her stint in music city, she toured with Hank Williams, Jr., Radney Foster, Bonnie Bishop, Holly Williams and Louise Mandrell. All of her time spent networking and gigging around Nashville would eventually culminate with her call to audition for Kenny Chesney in 2014.Harmoni currently splits time between her hometown of Austin, TX and Nashville, TN. When she's not on the road with Chesney, she continues to tour and do session work with various artists around the country.

New polling shows that, in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting, the Texas gubernatorial race has tightened between Gov. Greg Abbott and Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke. Kaitlin Armstrong, on the run now for over a month in connection with the shooting death of pro cyclist Anna Moria Wilson, may be going by her sister Christine Armstrong's name in New York - she also may have fled to Canada. Austin Police are searching for 11 year old Eimi Estrada, who has been missing since Monday and was last seen in the North Plaza/Rundberg area of North Austin. A 17-year-old with an extensive criminal record was shot by a man he was trying to rob in a Domain parking lot on Tuesday. Austin is rated highly among "equity-rich" metros - meaning that relatively few Austin homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Texas and Oklahoma, said to be departing the Big 12 for the SEC by 2025, have reportedly moved that goal up a year to 2024. Singer Zac Collier, a Texas A&M alum, has been cut from a National Anthem performance at the College World Series after being seen flashing the anti-UT "horns down" hand sign at the Women's College World Series, in which Texas Softball was a competitor. Weekend live music: Friday shows include Pride At Swan Dive with Sabrina Ellis and more, Tameca Jones in what she bills as her "last public performance" at Antone's, Viben and the Submersibles at the Mohawk, Broncho at Empire Control Room, and Casey Donahew at the Haute Spot. Saturday sees The Crystal Method at The Venue ATX, Ty Segall at the Mohawk, Slaid Cleaves at The 04 Center, and Crystal Gayle at the Haute Spot. Sunday, the Stay Black And Live music festival day features Ivy Rootz, Charmin Greene, Mama Duke, WC Clark and tons more at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center. Austin weather: we snapped a streak of consecutive triple-digit days that lasted over a week on Wednesday, but we're back at it today with a high of 101 expected, and similar and likely longer streaks of 100+ heat are likely coming throughout the summer.

As season two continues, I am thrilled to have John Chipman on the show today.  He has been playing music professionally for over 25 years and has played with an insane amount of musicians from the Resentments (who I so love!), Slaid Cleaves, Band of Heathens, David Grissom (who I think defines what Texas Blues really is), and of course my favorite, Kelley Mickwee.  If you ask me, I think he is a top three drummer here in Austin. He has toured numerous times in Europe and the Far East.  He moved to Austin after studying music and graduating from the University of Oklahoma.  In the 2007-2008 Austin Chronicle Music Awards, he won best drummer.   In Modern Drummer, he passes along some tidbits of what he has learned from other musicians: Never ask of music. When you expect music to do things for you, it will not happen. Music itself is the reward. If any success or fame comes as a result of playing music, be forever thankful, because you have already experienced more than 95% of the people who have ever picked up a pair of drumsticks have. The fewer notes you play, the more money per note you are making. Save your big stuff for the last chorus of the last song in the encore. Never play in a trio with a husband and wife. Never cop an attitude. There is always somebody better than you. If you see someone who might not be up to your personal yardstick, watch even closer, they will teach you something you didn't know.   Late in season one, I implemented quizzes into the mix and this will continue on future podcasts and this will continue for the foreseeable future.  Don't matter what I'm going to ask.  It's all fun and smiles.   If you don't mind heading over to Apple podcasts and giving us a review, we'd sure appreciate it awful good! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-top-five-records/id1494022573   https://thebiggunshow.com/ https://www.facebook.com/thebiggunshowband/ https://www.instagram.com/thebiggunshowband/ https://www.youtube.com/thebiggunshowband

But this episode is not about mutually assured destruction, per se. If I'm missing any other Star Trek episodes that tackle the subject, let me know!It's "The Man in the High Castle," not "Man in the High Tower," and it is indeed based on the novel of the same name, written by Philip K. Dick.Slaid is entirely correct about Star Trek's Nielson ratings in the 60's. When Star Trek aired on NBC, its ratings were low, and the network cancelled it in its third season. It's useful to keep in mind, however, that at the time the vast majority of TV viewers were watching only three broadcast networks: ABC, CBS, or NBC. So even a show with "low ratings" in the 60's would have commanded a much larger audience than a show with "low ratings" today. So it's kind of hard to make comparisons today. But its true that Star Trek didn't really become the hit show that it is today with its cult following and influence on popular culture until the 70's, when it was in syndication.Is Q, and the coinciding Q Continuum, immortal? The much loved character Q, from Star Trek: Next Generation is an omnipotent being with the ability to control time and space at will. Q is part of a collective, the Q Continuum, which exists in another dimension not accessible or understandable to humans. Q is not a benevolent being. He is better described as bored than benevolent. Although he has a fascination with Picard and with humanity and its historical outcomes, he is at times antagonistic and arbitrarily cruel. Trelane, the antagonist of this episode, "The Squire of Gothos," is a precursor to Q. The question of whether or not Q can decline or die has been recently raised as a possible plot line in the newest season of Star Trek: Picard, currently airing on Paramount Plus.

Rod Picott has been a Nashville workhorse songwriter for years, across more than a dozen albums. His songwriting is thick in narrative wisdom and character-driven stories. But he's not just a songwriter—he's also published two poetry books and has been working on a novel. With his latest album nigh (Paper Hearts and Broken Arrows), we got into how the pandemic affected his songwriting process, his long-standing songwriter friendship with Slaid Cleaves, what he loves about Adele, and so much more.

With time on his hands during the pandemic lockdown, roots music troubadour Ken Tizzard decided to create a new album comprising the fresh versions of cover songs he had worked up on his solo shows over the past decade. Tizzard explains that “initially I told my fans that I was going to record all these cover tunes I've been playing at Whiskey Wednesday [his popular weekly residency at a pub in Campbellford, Ontario for 10 years. It was to be just me and my acoustic guitar, a way to give them some new music.” “When I let the news out, people started responding – ‘hey, if there's anything I can do to help?,'” Ken recalls. “Then the idea just hit me. Make it an open call to everybody. That was my next Facebook post, inviting anybody who wanted to be involved. ‘If you have any way to record and if you like any of these songs, email me and we'll talk about what you can do.' The response just snowballed!” Tizzard posted a list of the 13 songs he had in mind for the record, and then, he explains, “I started putting the puzzle together. I got a big sheet of paper, listing the songs, the guests, what instruments they played, and started assembling it.” The novel creative process involved Ken recording a rough demo of each tune, vocal and acoustic guitar only, and sending that out to the volunteering musical guests, giving them complete freedom for the parts they would send in. “There were only a couple of instances where I went back and asked the player for a change,” he notes. “That is remarkable given that everybody played without hearing what the other guests played.” The resulting collection of songs that is All Together Now is both varied and fresh. Many of the chosen tunes date back to the ‘80s, the decade in which Ken came of age, with classic songs by Tears For Fears, The Boomtown Rats, The Clash, The Cure, Billy Bragg, and R.E.M. making the cut. He goes further back for gems by Neil Young, George Jones, Tom Petty, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and John Lennon, while “Green Mountains Ann Me” by Americana fave Slaid Cleaves is the most contemporary tune. Tackling Dylan's “Don't Think Twice” was a no-brainer, as Ken explains “Dylan has been with me since I started listening to music. He has been a high influence on myself and so many people it only seemed right.” The formidable cast list of collaborators on All Together Now includes some leading lights of Canadian rock and roots music. As the propulsive bassist in Canrock favourites the Watchmen and Thornley over the past three decades, Ken Tizzard has earned major peer respect in that world, while the prolific roots-based solo career he has pursued over the past 15 years has brought similar esteem in the folk community. Danny Greaves (The Watchmen), Donald Williams (Big Wreck), Dave Gunning, Sandy Morris (The Wonderful Grand Band), Creighton Doane, and Sean Panting. Also contributing were Tizzard fans in Canada and the US that he has yet to meet in person. Adding invaluable assistance on the mixing side was Mike Turner (Our Lady Peace), with the renowned Noah Mintz mastering. “Mike and I had a massive task assembling everything,” says Ken. “It'd be like ‘we've got a flute, a fiddle, a harmonica, guitar, slide guitar and piano playing on the one song. How do we make it work?' Mike did an amazing job.” Ken acknowledges that the presence of his musical friends on All Together Now means this doesn't sound like a regular Ken Tizzard solo album. “The essence of these songs, the way they are, comes from everybody else, not from me,” he observes. He remains justifiably proud of both the musical results and the imaginative creative process. “For this record, I had to put professional expectations away and accept it as a fantastic social experiment that produced some really good music in a time when people needed a chance to do that.” (Press Release)

Ray Wylie Hubbard is the secret handshake amongst those who know. Earthy, real, funky, unabashed, his records have been swapped and played on the road by everyone from Blackberry Smoke and Georgia Satellites to Black Stone Cherry. “Snake Farm” alone could be the red-blooded touring male's reality-based point of connection.That passion for the man who's as much a renegade poet as a roadhouse saint brought together an eclectic mix of guests for Co-Starring, his first ever high-profile label release. Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, Ronnie Dunn, Don Was, Larkin Poe, Pam Tillis and The Cadillac Three were just a few who clamored to jam, sing and generally be in the studio with the wizened icon. The Austin Music and Eric Church-inducted Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Famer was born in Soper, Oklahoma, went to high school with cosmic cowboy Michael Martin Murphey and spent his summers playing folk music in Red River, New Mexico. It all added to an iconoclastic, hell-bent for truths and textures in writing about the way outlaws live – and added to his outlier bona fides that he made 16 albums without ever signing to a major label.That's all about to change for the go-to songwriter for Lucinda Williams, Hayes Carll, Pat Green, Jerry Jeff Walker, Waylon Jennings, Slaid Cleaves and Willie Nelson. Whether it's bluegrass/folk legend Peter Rowan on the tender “Hummingbird,” emerging Nashville renegade Ashley McBryde on the tough girl homage “Outlaw Blood,” SiriusXM femme fatales Paula Nelson and Elizabeth Cook on the randy “Drink ‘Til I See Double” or the trippy rocker Aaron Lee Tasjan on the elegiac “Rock Gods,” Co-Starring is a supple, musky affair.

After hearing “Roll with it” by Oasis, Dan Raza was struck with the musical bug. It started a journey delving into the classics of the 60s and 70s, and then the roots of those artists all the way back to the pre-war blues. Since then, Dan Raza has become one of the mainstays of the London singer-songwriter and folk roots scene. His distinctive approach has won him a following across the UK and abroad as he has taken his songs on the road performing solo and opening for Joan Armatrading, Badly Drawn Boy, and Alejandro Escovedo, amongst others. And he has been praised by artists such as Slaid Cleaves and Mary Gauthier, and even had a song included on Neil Young's ‘Living With War' website.Reminiscent of the Waterboys, Nick Drake, and Bob Dylan, Dan Raza's intimate guitar playing and poetic yet personal lyrics will pull you directly into the scenes he scripts and the portraits he paints.Dave sat down with Dan to talk about his normal songwriting process, his days in a rock band, finding inspiration while traveling abroad, and how walking may help you write more songs. It's another raw and riveting discussion about song craft!For more music, check out http://www.danraza.com/

El pasado lunes, día 23, supimos que Hal Ketchum, el artista de Greenwich, en el estado de Nueva York, había muerto en su hogar tejano de Fischer por complicaciones con su demencia, dejando vacante otro de los taburetes destinados a los grandes trovadores. En 1989, editó un primitivo álbum titulado "Threadbare Alibis" en la independiente Watermelon, producido por él mismo y cuyos beneficios siempre fueron a parar a sus dos hijos, Sarah y Graham, fruto de un anterior matrimonio lleno de frustraciones. Durante su carrera tuvo la consideración de ser uno de los más brillantes vocalistas y compositores de la country music, aunque él siempre prefirió que su música hablara por él, prefiriendo la privacidad del anonimato. Tuvimos el privilegio de conocerle personalmente en los mejores momentos de su carrera y comprobar su extraordinario talento para compartir historias. La popularidad llegó con "Small Town, Saturday Night", una canción compuesta por Pat Alger y Hank DeVito que consiguió el primer puesto de las listas de sencillos en 1991 con el apoyo de un video rodado en blanco y negro bajo la dirección del fotógrafo Jim McGuire y basado en el film "The Terror Of Tiny Town". Había pasado un año desde su firma con Curb Records. Los singles posteriores de Hal Ketchum, sobre todo "Past The Point Of Rescue" -la canción que titulaba aquel trabajo-, dieron una imagen más cercana a la realidad de este cantautor que siempre poseyó una rara habilidad para recordar letras de canciones desde sus años más jóvenes, incluso cuando tocaba la batería en una banda de rhythm and blues a los 15 años. Tuvo una infancia con el tocadiscos siempre sonando en casa. Su padre, linotipista para Gannett Press, era un fanático de Marty Robbins y Hank Snow, además de tocar el banjo de cinco cuerdas. Su madre, que sufría de esclerosis, adoraba a Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington y Frankie Laine, mientras su abuelo era un experto violinista clásico. Aquello ayudó sobremanera a que se despertara su interés por la música. Han sido 31 años de carrera, desde su debut en aquel pequeño sello independiente, con un buen número de espléndidas canciones que no debemos olvidar. Este 2020 sigue siendo un año terrorífico que también parece ensañarse con artistas de nuestro amplio paraguas sonoro. 10 días antes de la muerte de Hal Ketchum perdíamos a Doug Supernaw debido a un cáncer irreversible de pulmón y vejiga que le diagnosticaron hace año y medio. La búsqueda de nuevos valores en el mercado de Nashville al comienzo de los 90 lanzó a la palestra a un tejano de Houston que se movió durante seis años por la ciudad y en quien se fijó el productor Richard Landis para publicarle el álbum Red And Rio Grande, un disco equilibrado entre canciones propias, como la que le daba nombre genérico, y algunas otras de los compositores básicos de aquellos tiempos. Su impresionante aspecto externo, propio de un jugador de fútbol americano, contrastaba con sus interpretaciones emocionantes en la línea de Vern Gosdin y Gene Watson. Doug Supernaw tuvo la paciencia de esperar a que se produjeran los cambios oportunos en su compañía de discos para empezar a hacerse popular a finales de 1993. Casi un año después publicó su segundo álbum, Deep Thoughts From A Shallow Mind, en el que destacaba su versión al éxito de 1975 para David Allan Coe, "You Never Even Called Me By My Name", que esta vez grabó con el propio Coe, Charley Pride y Merle Haggard como invitados por orden de aparición. La canción había sido compuesta por Steve Goodman y John Prine, pero este último pidió no figurar como autor porque no quería ofender a la comunidad de la country music, de cuya industria de Music Row hablaba en un tono especialmente satírico. Spencer Burton parece haber regresado a sus raíces naturales en "Nothing's Changed", el tema de anticipo de su nuevo álbum, Coyote, que reflexiona sobre la vida de los lugares en que deambulan los búfalos y donde, como dice su título, nada ha cambiado. Coyote es el quinto quinto álbum de estudio en solitario de este canadiense originario de Toronto, en Ontario, que se mudó a la zona rural de Niágara. Tal vez por eso quiso que la grabación de este trabajo se hiciera con un equipo analógico aunque para ello tuviera que trasladarse a Nashville. Como en otros casos, Spencer Burton estuvo tocando punk rock con Attack in Black y fue miembro de una banda indie como City and Color. Pero pareció entrar en razón y cambiar su perspectiva. Es algo que le acerca mucho a lo que suena cada fin de semana en nuestros aperitivos compartidos. Colorado" es una de las canciones más poderosas de las últimas fechas en la voz de Ward Davis, un ejemplo del outlaw country de los nuevos tiempos y de cómo músicos tan reconocidos como Willie Nelson, el desaparecido Merle Haggard o Trace Adkins han interpretado sus creaciones. La canción la conocimos hace un par de años, cuando Cody Jinks, que la compuso junto a él, la incluyó en su álbum Lifers, y sigue manteniendo el poderío de entonces y su tono vocal conmovedor. Este músico de Monticello, en Arkansas, se muestra especialmente artesanal en su nuevo álbum, Black Cats and Crows, donde muestra de forma evidente su esfuerzo por recoger el legado que sus predecesores en el terreno del country han dejado, y trabajar en su desarrollo segundo terminamos la segunda década del siglo XXI. El camino de Sean Harrison parece el inverso al de Ward Davis, ya que el primero nació en Nashville y se crió en el estado de Arkansas, en concreto en Fayetteville, donde siempre regresa. Así lo ha hecho, tras recuperar su prometedora carrera debido a decisiones personales poco afortunadas. De ello habla en Halfway From Nashville, un álbum que tiene en “Gravel & Dirt” su tema de apertura, revelando un sentido del humor lleno de ingenio y poco común, que a veces incluso desprecia su propia manera de comportarse. Sean Harrison es un tipo curioso con una categoría como contador de historias que recuerda a James McMurtry o Slaid Cleaves. "Hasta luego Nashville, TN / No puedes quedarte con lo que queda de mí / Y por lo que puedo decir / Ya es hora de que te desee lo mejor / Me construiste, me liberaste"... Así canta Chris Stapleton en “Nashville, TN”, la canción de cierre de su último álbum, Starting Over, dando pie a todo tipo de especulaciones. Mitad lamento y mitad homenaje a la ciudad que, en cualquier caso, le ha hecho extraordinariamente popular. Es bien cierto que Stapleton tenía pensado grabar una buena parte de este proyecto en Muscle Shoals, pero un corte de energía en toda la ciudad determinó el cambio de planes. La composición de “Nashville, TN” está compartida con su mujer, Morgane, la mujer que se ha convertido en imprescindible desde sus comienzos. Este cuarto álbum del artista de Kentucky vuelve a mecerse con los latidos de los forajidos del country, como Willie, Waylon y Merle Haggard. y los del rhythm and blues como Ray Charles, Otis Redding o Aretha Franklin, con la significación que todos ellos tienen en la historia de la música popular.  Desde las tierras de Downey, en California, el veterano Dave Alvin también ha aprovechado estos tiempos extraños que nos han obligado al confinamiento para mirar en sus archivos y completar From an Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, descubriendo algunas de sus debilidades personales como es el caso de Marty Robbins, que nunca nos ha parecido suficientemente reconocido, a pesar de ser una influencia constante en muchos de los artistas cercanos a la música de raíz. “Man Walks Among Us” es un ejemplo de su gran talento, siendo una canción que compuso y grabó en 1963 para su álbum Return of the Gunfighter con ciertos tintes agridulces. Lo que dejaba claro era su cariño por los paisajes del Oeste y, sobre todo, los de su Arizona natal. Steve Earle se ha acogido a su banda de acompañamiento de estos últimos años, The Dukes, donde militan nuestros buenos amigos Eleanor Whitmore y Chris Masterson, para grabar J.T. Es un trabajo que se ha convertido en el disco que nunca hubiera querido lanzar. En él rinde homenaje a su hijo, Justin Townes Earle (J.T.), que falleció el pasado 20 de agosto en Nashville, su ciudad natal. Se publicará digitalmente el 4 de enero de 2021, el día en que hubiera cumplido 39 años, mientras el vinilo y el CD verán la luz pasado el invierno, a mediados de marzo. El álbum se titula J.T. porque era así como le llamaban familiarmente, tras apodarle Cowboy en su infancia. Steve Earle & The Dukes han versionado 10 de las canciones que Justin nos dejó desde su debut discográfico en 2007 con el EP Yuma, que le trajo por primera y única vez a España, y su último registro, The Saint Of Lost Causes, del pasado año. Hoy anticipamos la lectura sonora que han realizado de “Harlem River Blues”, el tema que dio nombre genérico a su trabajo de 2010 y que se convertiría en la mejor canción del año siguiente para la Americana Music Association en su entrega de premios anuales. Todos los derechos de este álbum que, según Steve, son la mejor forma de decir adiós a un hijo que vivió siempre de forma apasionada, serán entregados a Etta St. James Earle, la hija de tres años de Justin. Su única hija. Si una guitarrita de enorme prestigio decide rendir homenaje a otro guitarrista legendario convertido, además, en uno de sus grandes amigos organizando un festival que reúna, a su vez, a una lista interminable de guitarristas… estamos en una gozosa reiteración de los sonidos de seis, ocho, 10 o 12 cuerdas interpretando canciones de casi cualquier género musical. Eric Clapton, uno de los guitarristas más sobresalientes de la historia, lo hizo en 1999 cuando se produjo el primer concierto benéfico de Crossroad en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York. Su amigo del alma era JJ Cale. El Crossroads Guitar festival hizo su debut en 2004 en el Cotton Bowl de Dallas, del que se publicó un doble DVD que pasa por ser uno de los más vendidos de la historia en ese formato. Las publicaciones de las siguientes ediciones, en 2007, 2010 y 2013, también fueron millonarias. Tras una pausa de seis años, regresó en 2019 en la capital del estado de Texas y con un listado infinito de colaboraciones estelares como las de Gary Clark Jr., Robert Cray, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, Keb 'Mo', Bonnie Raitt, la Tedeschi Trucks Band, Peter Frampton o Vince Gill, entre otras muchas. Clapton siempre ha manifestado un enorme respeto hacia el country, sus grandes figuras y sus guitarristas. Músicos como Albert Lee o Vince Gill han sido habituales en sus Crossroads y en esta última edición hemos podido escucharles junto a Jerry Douglas en esta versión de “Tonight The Bottle Let me Down”, con Vince Gill de cantante solista y el espíritu de Merle Haggard en el ambiente. El Crossroads Guitar Festival recauda fondos para el Crossroads Center de las llamadas Pequeñas Antillas, un centro educativo y de tratamiento contra la drogadicción que el músico fundó en 1998. La despedida del programa de hoy, antes de citarnos para mañana a la hora del aperitivo, es la de un tipo que ha marcado su recorrido con un estilo al que siempre llamamos rock pantanoso. Es John Fogerty, el líder indiscutible de la Creedence Clearwater Revival, que en los últimos tiempos ha venido recreándose en las grandes canciones del legendario grupo californiano para presentarse en directo. Todo ello se vio interrumpido por la llegada de la pandemia y su aislamiento en casa y decidió, ante la imposibilidad de trabajar con sus músicos habituales, que su banda de acompañamiento la formarán sus hijos pequeños: Shane, de 28; Tyler, de 27; y Kelsy, de 18. Empezaron a tocar juntos y a compartirlo en su canal de YouTube, de tal forma que ahora ha decidido convertirlo en un álbum que ha titulado Fogerty’s Factory, como un guiño al medio siglo que ha cumplido el álbum de Creedence Clearwater Revival Cosmo’s Factory. De hecho la portada es una puesta al día de la original. En realidad, todo fue una idea de su mujer, Julie, como una especie de antídoto ante la situación creada por la pandemia. En Fogerty’s Factory hay canciones de álbumes en solitario de John Fogerty y clásicos de Creedence Clearwater Revival, pero también se incluyen un par de versiones. Una es “Lean On Me” de Bill Whiters y la otra la inmortal “City Of New Orleans” Steve Goodman convertida en la mejor canción de trenes de la historia. Escuchar audio

I caught up with singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalists Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore at the 2020 Folk Alliance International Conference in New Orleans. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were booted out of the Media Room I had reserved so that NPR’s Anne Powers could do an impromptu interview with Ani DiFranco. No worries, The Mastersons went with the flow and we conducted our conversation in my hotel room while they were perched on my bedside with my lavalier mic attached to my water bottle handle. They could not have been more gracious and accommodating. When they're not touring the world as valued longtime members of Steve Earle's band the Dukes, the musical and marital twosome make inspired albums of their own emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs. Experience is something they have aplenty. Prior to coming together as a musical duo (they married in 2009), Masterson and Whitmore were both seasoned veterans of the Americana and Texas music scenes. Masterson spent his teens playing the blues in Houston clubs before landing hired-gun gigs with acts as varied as Jack Ingram and Son Volt, while the Denton-born Whitmore grew up performing in a family band with her folk- singer dad, Alex, and sister Bonnie (now a solo singer-songwriter) before playing fiddle and violin on dozens of album sessions for the likes of Bruce Robison, Slaid Cleaves, and Shooter Jennings. By their own admission, they are here to “serve the songs.” The Mastersons, who now call Los Angeles home after stints in Austin, Brooklyn and Terlingua, Texas; recorded their soon to be released “No Time for Love Songs” at L.A.'s legendary Sunset Sound Recorders with Shooter Jennings; it was engineered and mixed by five-time Grammy Award-winning engineer, Ryan Freeland. Shooter had recruited The Mastersons to play on his albums Family Man (2012) and The Other Life (2013), and they’d recently reunited to work on the now Grammy award winning Tanya Tucker's comeback album While I'm Livin', which Jennings co-produced with Brandi Carlile. As our country becomes more divided," Chris observes, "it makes it harder to connect with loved ones and friends that disagree. Fundamentally we all want the same things, but we're pitted against each other by extreme rhetoric on both sides. If we can lead with kindness and empathy, there is a way out." "Only by cataloging and acknowledging loss and grief can we move forward with gratitude for what we have." I agree 100%. Enjoy this conversation with Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore, The Mastersons!
