Podcast appearances and mentions of Stuart Duncan

-Original Show Notes from May 20, 2022- Stuart Duncan is the dad of an autistic son, and he's also autistic himself. So when he learned that autistic Minecraft players were being bullied on popular servers, he set out to create a safe and inclusive virtual space for the autism community. The moment he announced it, parents lined up in droves, hoping their kids could join. Today, the server has 15,000 members, and Stuart has quit his job as a software developer to manage, moderate, and customize the server for kids (and their families) who communicate and play their own way. Stuart joins us to discuss the origins of Autcraft, why he still relies on the Java Edition of Minecraft to serve his community, and the power of safe, custom virtual worlds for neurodiverse players.

My guest on the podcast this week is Chris Eldridge, guitarist with Punch Brothers and Mighty Poplar.Chris is not only one of my favourite guitarists, he's also one of my favourite people I've had on as a guest, so I'm delighted to welcome him back to Bluegrass Jam Along to celebrate the podcast's 400th episode.In this special episode we're chatting about Bela Fleck's ground breaking record Drive. It's a record that's really important to Chris, and also played a key role in the early days of both The Infamous Stringdusters and Punch Brothers.Chris talks about first hearing the record, why it grabbed his attention so much and why it holds a key place in not only Bela's output, but also in the rich tradition of progressive, instrumental string band music. We also talk about the remarkable contributions made by the players Bela assembled for this record, including Sam Bush, Mark Schatz, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Mark O'Connor and, of course, Tony Rice.It was a fascinating conversation to get to have. Drive is one of my favourite records and I know it's a favourite of so many bluegrass fans and players too.Thanks Chris and here's to the next 400 episodes!Happy picking!Matt Support the Show.===- Sign up to get updates on new episodes - Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates: Instagram Facebook - Review us on Apple Podcasts

Bluegrass banjo legend Tony Trischka joins us this week to discuss the making of his new album, 'Earl Jam.' He also gives us a mini-masterclass into the world of Earl Scruggs. The story behind 'Earl Jam' is truly remarkable: Upon receiving a USB drive full of never-before-released Earl Scruggs home recordings from the '80s and '90s, Trischka decided to transcribe his favorite moments and solos, note-for-note. His playing of these transcriptions became the foundation for the album, which also features guest spots by Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Brittany Haas, Stuart Duncan and others. It's like hearing a completely new Earl Scruggs record in 2024. Just as memorable as the album are some Trischka's stories about Scruggs and his influence. Somehow, King Curtis Ravi Shankar, Petticoat Junction, Steve Martin, and KFC all get mentioned...and a lot more!   https://www.tonytrischka.com/earl-jam A First Timer's Guide to the Fretboard Summit: https://www.fretboardjournal.com/columns/a-first-timers-guide-to-the-fretboard-summit/ Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal print edition and reserve your copy of Fretboard Journal 54:  https://shop.fretboardjournal.com/products/fretboard-journal-annual-subscription This week's show is sponsored by: StewMac: https://stewmac.sjv.io/R5jvRR (Affiliate link) Izotope: https://www.izotope.com (Use the code FRET10 to save 10%) Stringjoy Strings: https://stringjoy.com (Use the code FRETBOARD to save 10% off your first order) Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar: https://mmguitarbar.com Peghead Nation: https://www.pegheadnation.com (Get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription with the promo code FRETBOARD at checkout).

Alison Brown is a Grammy Winning banjo player, composer and producer who has made a bunch of great albums under her own name but also as a sideperson and collaborator with artists like Alison Krauss, Michelle Shocked, and Stuart Duncan. She started playing as a youngster, first on dobro and then switched over to banjo. She spent her early years cutting her teeth at bluegrass events and venues around California, before veering away from music in the 80's to get her MBA from UCLA! Alison was working full-time in finance when she realized that she just didn't want to be doing that and dove back head-first into music. She joined Union Station with Alison Krauss in the late 80's and has never looked back. That band won a grammy in 1990, and then she joined Michelle Shocked's band and became her bandleader for a few years. Alison started her own quartet and has been recording albums with them since the early 90's. Her label, Compass Records, has grown to be one of the leading labels for roots music in the world, and her and and her husband Gary West run the whole thing out of the office and studio on music row. The studio itself is an incredible piece of history, known at one time as “Hillbilly Central” it's where some of the iconic records were made for Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Alison's latest record “On Banjo” is a great example of her killer playing but also her composing and arranging skills. It features guests like Steve Martin, Sierra Hull, Sharon Isbin and the Kronos quartet and explores styles like Brazillian choro and bossa nova as well as bluegrass and old time.You can keep up with what she's up to, and get all her tour dates at alisonbrown.comBe sure to listen to the Accompanying Songs Playlist which contains some of the artist's work, plus many of the songs we discuss on the show:Playlist on Spotify / Playlist on Apple MusicIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the show with a donation or Patreon subscriptionThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.comYour fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at www.stevedawson.ca Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/mmasspodcast.

Episode 246: Alison Brown found her life's work early when she started playing banjo as a pre-teen growing up in southern California. But it took some time and real life experience - a Harvard degree, another MBA and a couple of years in banking - before she finally gave herself permission to chase a music career. She toured with Alison Krauss in her early days and then formed her own bands, earning her rep as an innovative, jazz-oriented virtuoso player. She's released about a dozen albums of her own composing, including the latest On Banjo, featuring guests like Stuart Duncan, Steve Martin and Anat Cohen. We sat down in the studio of Compass Records, which she co-founded with her husband more than 25 years ago, for a wide-ranging talk about her instrument, her destiny, and her latest music. Also in the hour, a teaser of my interview with Nashville journalist Tim Ghianni. 

Fourteen years after their Grammy-winning debut, Raising Sand, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss followed up with Raise the Roof—which was nominated for three more Grammys. Now on tour, the duo also has a new band that includes bassist Viktor Krauss, guitarist JD McPherson, and utility player Stuart Duncan. But before they hit the road, Krause, Duncan, and McPherson—and their techs Paul Ackling and Kevin Devogel— invited the PG team to a rehearsal at Soundcheck Nashville for a look behind the gear curtain. Here's a sampling of what our team of John Bohlinger, Chris Kies, and Perry Bean saw. Watch the Rundown for the whole picture.Brought to you by D'Addario XPND Pedalboard.

“On Banjo” In sunny a San Diego high school somewhere in the 70s, while kids were listening to Aerosmith and Van Halen and Boston, Alison Brown was listening to bluegrass. She had started on guitar but gravitated to the banjo and by her teens, she was already pretty proficient on the instrument. She won first place at the Canadian National Banjo Championship, played a gig at the Grand Ole Opry and toured one summer with fiddler Stuart Duncan. After high school She headed to Harvard, knocked out an MBA at UCLA and then went to work as an Investment Banker. You know—the typical bluegrass story you hear all the time. Thinking music was a weekend thing, Brown had a nice balance going but then music decided to tip the scales. Alison Krauss flashed the bat signal for a banjo player and Brown answered the call, and gave up her Wall Street environs for a life in music. And what a life it has been. An internationally recognized virtuoso on banjo, Brown has played with Alison Krauss, Michelle Shocked, fronted her own Alison Brown Quartet, toured all over the world, from Japan to South America, along the way playing The Kennedy Center, the Newport Folk Festival, The Cambridge Folk Festival in England and the Galway Arts Festival in Ireland. With a Grammy in her trophy case along with multiple Grammy nominations, features on CBS Sunday Morning, NPRs All Things Considered and close to 15 critically lauded albums under her belt, including her fabulous new one No Banjo, Alison Brown is an artistic force. And what of On Banjo? Well, putting it simply, it's a stunner. A deftly played album filled with technical prowess, musical finesse and compositional dexterity, On Banjo is a song cycle that's celebratory, joyful and cathartic. Brown is the co-founder of Compass Records Group, she serves on the Board of the Nashville Chapter of the Recording Academy and she's the co-chair of the Steve Martin Banjo Prize. She's kind of a big deal and guess what? She's as nice as can be. www.alisonbrown.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.embersarts.com www.alexgreenonline.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

This week on the show is the great mandolin player, singer and songwriter Sierra Hull. Sierra is a monster player, and while she's still really young, she's been making records of her own for over 15 years now. The latest one, called “25 Trips” came out right around the pandemic, so her touring was curtailed for a while, but she's back at it now in full force, playing with her band and also with Cory Wong and Bela Fleck, being a major part of Bela's “My Bluegrass Heart” album and shows earlier this year. I was really interested in talking to her about that because I can't imagine how crazy that must be to be sitting in a room full of your heros that you grew up listening to and learning from and suddenly they're your peers and you're right in the mix with all of them. In the bluegrass world, that project doesn't get any heavier - Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton, Sam Bush, Chris Thile, Noam Pikelny, Stuart Duncan, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle - they're all involved, and it's a great album. Sierra has made some great solo albums with Allison Krauss and Bela Fleck producing, and on the latest one, “25 Trips”, she's co-producing with a killer engineer named Shani Gandhi. It's definitely rooted in bluegrass, but steps out into some more experimental territory as well with some innovative sounds and production ideas. The crew on this album includes Justin Moses, Viktor Krauss, Bryan Sutton, Paul Franklin, Jano Rix and lots more. So we got to talk about how she approaches making music, and all about how she prepares as a side-person for some of the heavy gigs she's involved in these days.Sierra is constantly out on tour and you can keep up with what she's doing and where to see her at: sierrahull.comListen to the accompanying playlist for this episode here, which features the artist's own music, plus many of the songs that were discussed during the show.This episode is brought to you by Izotope - check out their amazing recording software at: www.izotope.comThanks for your support, and your fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at: www.stevedawson.ca

Richard Smith was born in Beckenham, England. He picked up the guitar when he was five years old after watching his father playing an Atkins and Travis version of "Down South Blues". He begged his father, a longtime Atkins admirer, to introduce him to the fingerpicking style. Smith soon became a child prodigy on the guitar. As a kid he could play the entire discographies of Django Reinhardt and Chet Atkins. At the age of 11 he shared the stage with his idol when Atkins invited Smith to play with him at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. He was also influenced by guitarist Big Jim Sullivan and briefly studied jazz guitar with Shane Hill at Warlingham School, Surrey. He formed the Richard Smith Guitar Trio with his brothers Rob and Sam before marrying American cellist Julie Adams and moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 1999. He founded the Hot Club of Nashville, a jam band with a varying lineup that included John Jorgenson, Pat Bergeson, Bryan Sutton, and Stuart Duncan, combining gypsy jazz and western swing. Smith performs as a solo act and a duo with his wife. His repertoire includes country, bluegrass, blues, ragtime, folk, jazz, pop, and classical music. A 2018 video of Smith performing Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" went viral on YouTube, amassing over 12 million views as of April, 2022.

He begged his father, a longtime Atkins admirer, to introduce him to the fingerpicking style. Smith soon became a child prodigy on the guitar. At the age of 11 he shared the stage with his idol when Atkins invited Smith to play with him at Her Majesty's Theatre in London.He was also influenced by guitarist Big Jim Sullivan and briefly studied jazz guitar with Shane Hill at Warlingham School, Surrey. He formed the Richard Smith Guitar Trio with his brothers Rob and Sam before marrying American cellist Julie Adams and moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 1999. He founded the Hot Club of Nashville, a jam band with a varying lineup that included John Jorgenson, Pat Bergeson, Bryan Sutton, and Stuart Duncan, combining gypsy jazz and western swing. Smith performs as a solo act and a duo with his wife. His repertoire includes country, bluegrass, blues, ragtime, folk, jazz, pop, and classical music. A 2018 video of Smith performing Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" went viral on YouTube, amassing over 10.1 million views as of April, 2021. Richard won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas in 2001. The National Thumbpickers Hall of Fame named him Thumbpicker of the Year in 2008 and inducted him into the Hall of Fame in 2009. He received the Golden Thumbpick Award by the Association of Fingerstyle Guitarists. #richardsmith

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that french academic scholar and administrator, Francis Lawrence, was born in Woonsocket? He taught at Tulane for over 30 years, eventually becoming academic vice president, provost, dean of the graduate school, and eventually the 18th president of Rutgers University. After retiring in 2002, he returned to teaching at Rutgers. Now, for our feature story: Two-plus years and more than $12 million later, Westerly's United Theatre, once the go-to downtown movie spot — a facility that was built in 1926 as a vaudeville house, transitioned into a movie theater when films came into fashion, then closed its doors in 1986 when downtown Westerly temporarily lost its luster — opened its doors to movie-lovers Friday afternoon with 4:45 p.m. screenings of Marvel's "Black Widow" and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's must-see music documentary, "Summer of Soul." Tony Nunes, the theater's artistic director said "We are now a full-time theater. It's been a long time coming, but movies are back in Westerly. We are all good to go. From now on, Nunes continued, film-lovers will be able to screen movies seven days a week, 365 days a year. Two of the United's three movie screens opened Friday, Nunes said, and the third, the balcony cinema, will open next week. "You might say this is a bit of a soft opening," he added, noting that the official ribbon-cutting will take place on July 24. An exhibit featuring a show called "Faces of Westerly," by photographer Josh Behan, will be on display by then, and a video called "Voices of Westerly" will be shown in the black box theater. "We plan to have one-hundred-and-seventy-six film screenings in July alone," said Nunes one afternoon last week as he sat in the United's balcony watching workers put the final touches on the black box theater where films will be screened and performances and gatherings will take place. "We'll have matinées and show movies from one to ten p.m. each day." Grammy award-winning songwriter and musician Aoife O'Donovan, co-founder of the bands I'm With Her and Crooked Still, who has been a featured vocalist on "The Goat Rodeo Sessions" with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile, and who spent a decade contributing to the radio variety shows "Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion," will be the first musician to perform in the renovated theater when she stops by on her way to play at the Newport Folk Festival on July 23rd. Nunes, who has been working on the United renovation for the last seven years — five as a volunteer — said there is now a larger staff in place, with five new people joining him and Executive Director Lisa Utman Randall. Back in the theater, days before the final approvals were in place, and while he juggled a seeming endless array of "moving parts," Nunes grew thoughtful. "I love our name and I love what we stand for," said Nunes. "We're uniting the community through the arts." For updates, tickets and performance dates, visit unitedtheatre.org.

On this episode of Acoustic Music Talk, Brad Apple talks with amazing acoustic bassist, Missy Raines. GRAMMY® nominated Missy Raines was named 2020 International Bluegrass Music Association Bass Player of the Year, for the 9th time, more than any other bass player in the history of the organization. Missy Raines has proven herself without doubt as an iconic bluegrass instrumentalist. But with her newest release, Royal Traveller, Raines has stepped into the spotlight as a songwriter for the first time. The album digs deep into Raines' family life and her upbringing in West Virginia. Featuring previous and current members of her live band, as well as cameos from other bluegrass greats such as Stuart Duncan and Tim O'Brien, the album is a gorgeous look into the perspective, history, and musical influences of one of Nashville’s most beloved musicians, Missy Raines. Royal Traveller was nominated for a GRAMMY® for “Best Bluegrass Album” and is Raines' third album for Compass Records. It’s the first produced by Compass' owner and founder, and renowned banjo player Alison Brown. "I went into this project with Alison with the mindset that I wanted to stretch myself and see what I could do. I think we achieved what I was looking for, which is something further reaching and bigger than what I would have accomplished on my own," says Raines. In 1998, Raines became the first woman to win IBMA's Bass Player of the Year award and she went on to win the title repeatedly for the next several years. Royal Traveller highlights this particular piece of Raines' history with the stand out track “Swept Away”, which features the 5 first women to win IBMA instrumentalist awards, Raines, Brown, Sierra Hull, Becky Buller, and Molly Tuttle. “Swept Away” was named 2018 IBMA Recorded Event of the Year. Missy’s version of the iconic Flatt & Scruggs “Darlin Pal(s) of Mine” (from Royal Traveller), was named 2019 Instrumental Recording of the Year by the IBMA. The tune features Alison Brown on banjo, Todd Phillips on bass and Mike Bub on bass. In 2020, Missy shared IBMA’s Song of the Year award along with co-writers, Becky Buller and Alison Brown for “Chicago Barn Dance”, a song written specifically for the Chicago-based band, Special Concensus, and their latest album of the same name. With her new album, Raines tells her story with a vulnerability and bold honesty that rings clear, spoken through beautiful arrangements and well chosen musical collaborations. With nods to many of the varied and challenging chapters of her life, the songs speak volumes of Raines tenacity and musicianship, and her ability to rise to bluegrass fame despite the various confinements of the times. The listener is presented with a striking window into the up and down ride of a very royal traveller, the one and only Missy Raines. www.acousticmusictalk.net https://www.missyraines.com/ https://www.facebook.com/missyrainesmusic https://www.instagram.com/missyraines https://twitter.com/thenewhip https://www.youtube.com/missyrainesmusic --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brad-apple/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brad-apple/support

Minecraft is one of the highest selling games of all time, and the blocky, 8-bit sandbox is especially popular with kids, due to the freedom its gameplay offers. But for children with Autism, that freedom is often challenged when playing online, where bullies and trolls are a barrier in their experience. This was a problem that Stuart Duncan set out to solve, creating a dedicated Minecraft server for Autistic kids and their families.  Episode Transcript & References Become a Gameplay Member Join our Discord Follow Gameplay on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitch Learn more about your ad choices.

Guthrie Trapp is one of the finest guitarists in Nashville, TN. In our Truetone Lounge interview, we talk with Trapp about his early playing experiences on the Gulf Coast, why he moved to Nashville, and how performing with the Don Kelley Band punched his career into overdrive. We also discuss his musically eclectic new album, Life After Dark, that features Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Jimmy Hall, The McCrary Sisters, and Bekka Bramlett as guests.

El pasado lunes Jeff Bridges anunció que le habían diagnosticado un linfoma y que comenzaba el tratamiento. Y hemos querido que “What A Little Bit Of Love Can Do” (Lo que puede hacer un poco de amor) abriera TOMA UNO como muestra de apoyo a su persona. Esta canción irresistible fue debida a la inspiración de Stephen Bruton y Gary Nicholson. La producción corrió a cargo de T-Bone Burnett, con quien se encontró en 1980, cuando le fue presentado por Kris Kristofferson mientras rodaban Heaven's Gate. T-Bone Burnett había seleccionado las canciones de la película The Big Lebowski, que protagonizó Jeff Bridges en 1998, y participó muy directamente en Crazy Heart de 2009. Dirigida por Scott Cooper, aquella cinta estaba basada en la novela del mismo título de Thomas Cobb publicada en 1987. Jeff Bridges, que consiguió su único Oscar gracias a ella, encarnaba el papel de Bad Blake, un cantante y compositor de country en horas bajas, e interpretó hasta cinco canciones. Su banda sonora estaba dedicada a la memoria de Stephen Bruton, legendario músico tejano que murió de cáncer poco después de culminar el proyecto. La abría "Hold on You", una canción de amor donde Jeff Bridges cumple con los requisitos necesarios. Bart Crow es de la tejana ciudad de Maypearl, Texas, y está preparando el Ep A Pretty Good Heart del que nos acaba de anticipar “Boots”, que se está convirtiendo en uno de los temas más pinchados de las emisoras del Lone Star State tras una década en la carretera y hasta ocho álbumes publicados. Moviéndose entre la Red Dirt music y el country tejano, la Bart Crow Band se formó en 2003 y dos años más tarde editaban su primer álbum, Finally. Con una declarada independencia se fueron afianzando en la escena musical de Austin, donde fijaron su residencia, gracias al impulso de su líder, que decidió personalizar el nombre en solitario y firmar los trabajos simplemente como Bart Crow. Su constancia le permitió debutar en el Grand Ole Opry y mantener un alto prestigio. Ward Davis es un cantante y compositor de Monticello, en Arkansas, con cierta relevancia en las editoriales de Nashville. Muy cercano a las formas de Cody Jinks o Kendell Marvel, ha firmado canciones que han sido grabadas por Willie Nelson, el desaparecido Merle Haggard, Carolina Rain o Trace Adkins, por nombrar algunos artistas que han confiado en sus habilidades para contar historias cotidianas. “Black Cats and Crows” es la canción que da nombre a su álbum, que se editará a finales del próximo mes. Un tema inquietante de tintes casi siniestros que Ward Davis compuso a finales del pasado año con Cody Jinks y Tennessee Jet provocando un efecto casi terapéutico en su situación personal de entonces. Además, tenía una infección nasal el día en que la grabó y las restricciones del Covid impidieron volver a hacerlo y añadir armonías. El resultado es impactante. Desde que empezamos a hablar del nuevo disco de Chris Stapleton, Starting Over, comentamos la cercanía entre el músico de Kentucky y el guitarrista de los Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell. Una de las canciones que era habitual escuchar en su gira All-American Road Show del pasado año, “Arkansas”, fue compuesta con él y forma parte de esa nueva propuesta, que a menudo interpretaba junto a Brothers Osborne. Así suena ahora en ese álbum que se editará el 13 de noviembre. Hace 10 años, Chris Stapleton anunció que dejaba a los SteelDrivers para dedicarse a la familia y cinco después debutó en solitario con Traveller. Había grabado dos excelentes álbumes con el grupo, que superó su marcha y la de otro de sus socios fundadores como Mike Henderson. La personalidad de la violinista Tammy Rogers, nacida en Tennessee y criada en Texas, ha sido fundamental para dar solidez a una formación vital en el siempre complicado engranaje del bluegrass contemporáneo. John Paul White, antiguo miembro de The Civil Wars, ha estado muy cerca de los SteelDrivers en el último álbum, Bad for You, colaborando estrechamente con la banda afincada en Nashville. De tal forma que Tammy Rogers, líder indiscutible del grupo, le llama "el sexto SteelDriver". John Paul White es vocalista invitado, coproductor y compositor junto a Rogers de un tema como “Innocent Man”, un tema sobre la desesperación. Este quinto álbum es la continuación de The Muscle Shoals Recordings, su disco de 2015 que les reportó un Grammy y resulta ser el primer proyecto de SteelDrivers con Kelvin Damrell como vocalista, desde la marcha de Gary Nichols. Discos como este hacen que desde hace mucho tiempo nos consideramos “SteelHeads”. Steep Canyon Rangers crecieron escuchando los estilos básicos de la música popular, eso que conocemos como Americana. En su etapa universitaria se inclinaron por el bluegrass y 20 años después son una de las formaciones más prestigiosas del género. La banda de Carolina del Norte ha salido por primera vez fuera de su tierra para grabar en el estudio Southern Ground de Nashville y contar con Brandon Bell en la producción. Eso supone que las texturas sonoras se han ampliado y es evidente en "One Drop of Rain" es el tema de apertura, compuesta hace seis años, cuando murió el suegro del banjista Graham Sharp y completada definitivamente en el estudio de grabación junto a Woody Platt durante las sesiones de Arm in Arm, su último álbum. The Country, el tercer álbum de Tennessee Jet, es un homenaje a los sonidos de sus años más jóvenes sin renunciar a experimentar en cualquiera de los caminos que ofrece la Americana en su conjunto. En un disco en el que las colaboraciones son muchas y con un horizonte muy amplio de estilos, desde Cody Jinks y Paul Cauthen a la armónica de Mickey Raphael y la trompeta de Brian Newman, habitual junto a Lady Gaga, la presencia de Elizabeth Cook ha sido la más constante. En el programa ya escuchamos su versión de “Poncho And Lefty” de Townes Van Zandt y hoy nos hemos inclinado por cómo parece haberse sentado en porche de casa junto a Elizabeth, Eugene Edwards a la mandolina y Jamison Hollister encargándose del dobro y el violín para llevar a los terrenos del bluegrass "She Talks to Angels", que los hermanos Chris y Rich Robinson compusieron en 1990 años para el álbum de debut de los Black Crowes, Shake Your Money Maker. Sturgill Simpson ha vuelto a sorprendernos. Esta vez lo ha hecho con Cuttin ’Grass Vol 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, un disco de bluegrass que, como dice su título, está grabado en los legendarios estudios Butcher Shoppe de Nashville con músicos de la brillantez de Stuart Duncan, Sierra Hull o Tim O’Brien, entre otros. Para conformarlo ha elegido 20 canciones de su carrera, exceptuando temas del que había sido su último registro, Sound & Fury del año pasado, que también supuso una enorme sorpresa, para llevarlos a los terrenos del bluegrass, el estilo por el que se conoce a su estado natal, Kentucky. La idea de este trabajo surgió mientras se recuperaba del coronavirus a primeros de este año y ha dejado obras de arte como “I Don’t Mind”, posiblemente la mejor canción del año. I'm With You supone ya el octavo álbum de estudio de William Elliott Whitmore y el primero en cinco años con material original. En él reflexiona sobre todo aquello que le es cercano, como la familia y los amigos, encontrando en su forma de narrar similitudes con Steve Earle e incluso la profundidad de algunas de sus letras nos devuelve al presente un disco tan emblemático como Nebraska de Bruce Springsteen. Con un arrope sonoro casi minimalista, este nativo de Iowa, muestra inclinaciones hacia el bluegrass en canciones que pintan imágenes ya vividas. “My Mind Can Be Cruel to Me” es uno de los momentos más brillantes de un disco cargado de testimonios de desesperanza silenciosa. En los últimos minutos del programa queremos incidir en las melodías clásicas del country de la mano de Zephaniah OHora con Listening To The Music, un segundo álbum que ha elevado las excelentes prestaciones de su debut con This Highway hace tres años. Hay canciones deliciosas como “All American Singer”, que musicalmente nos recuerda a "The Fightin' Side of Me". El músico nacido en New Hampshire y residente en Brooklyn ha mantenido sus relatos de historias honestas y reales con el apoyo en la producción del tristemente fallecido Neal Casal. Ya que hablamos de las evidentes influencias de Merle Haggard en Zephaniah OHora, otro de los músicos que muestra su veneración por la desaparecida leyenda de Bakersfield es Tim Bluhm, un californiano de Torrance que se implicó en la country music gracias a Rick Rubin, que firmó a su primitiva banda, Mother Hips, para su sello, American Records, cuando veía la luz el primer disco de Johnny Cash producido por él, colocando incluso al grupo como sus teloneros. Tim Bluhm publicará dentro de un mes Hag Heaven, su cuarto disco en solitario con 11 canciones de Merle Haggard, entre las que se encuentra “Am I Standing In Your Way”, que formó parte en 1976 de The Roots of My Raising que el legendario músico grabó con los Strangers.

La salida de esta pandemia va a suponer cambios importantes en las más diversas facetas en nuestras vidas. La música tiene para muchos de nosotros una importancia casi capital que, por supuesto, no ensombrece en absoluto, otras prioridades. Al contrario, en ocasiones, sirve de apoyo y nos ayuda a paliar de alguna forma la inquietud y la incertidumbre. Por eso no podemos dejar de aplaudir iniciativas que apoyan una #CulturaSegura y propuestas como Lu's Jukebox In Studio Concert Series, una serie digital de conciertos temáticos nacidos en los días del Covid, ya grabados en directo por Lucinda Williams y su banda en el estudio que el productor Ray Kennedy tiene en Nashville. Se trata de seis episodios de los artistas de Louisiana incorpora alguna sorpresa. Los programas se emitirán en streaming bajo pago y se prevé que se editen posteriormente en CD y vinilo. Lu's Jukebox recaudará fondos para ayudar fundamentalmente a las salas de conciertos y promotores, recibiendo un porcentaje de la venta de entradas. Lucinda Williams, grabó en 1988 su tercer álbum, de título homónimo, donde incluyó “Changed The Locks”, una canción que Tom Petty incluiría junto a los Heartbreakers en Songs and Music from the Motion Picture "She's the One", el noveno álbum de estudio del grupo que, además, sirvió como banda sonora a la película que dirigió Edward Burns. Hoy ha abierto nuestro tiempo de radio, en el que vamos a precisar el pulso de la Americana. Ha pasado poco más de un año desde la edición del disco de debut de las Highwomen, y nos surgen ciertas dudas sobre el papel de Maren Morris en la formación, mientras han ido tomando cada vez más relevancia las apariciones de Sheryl Crow y Yola, que fueron invitadas a aquel registro y han participado en las pocas apariciones en directo del supergrupo. La actualidad nos ha regalado una nueva canción surgida de las sesiones de aquel álbum junto al productor Dave Cobb. La protagonista es la británica Yola acompañada, eso sí, por Brandi Carlile y Natalie Hemby en los coros, Sheryl Crow al piano y Jason Isbell en la guitarra. "Hold On" es una especie de conversación con la próxima generación de jóvenes negros en la que se les pide que ocupen su espacio, sean visibles y muestren su talento. Destiny Hotel es la mejor secuela posible de That Santa Fe Channel, el álbum de 2018 para Cordovas, en el que no ocultaba sus inclinaciones por Grateful Dead. Además, el grupo que lidera Joe Firstman ha extendido ahora sus afectos hacia The Band, con armonías vocales y ritmos entrecortados propios de la mítica formación canadiense, sumando también retazos de las raíces sureñas de los Allman Brothers. Al fin y al cabo, este nuevo trabajo rememora los mejores sonidos que se escucharon durante la década de los 70. El tono de nostalgia y ternura de este trabajo grabado en Los Angeles se muestra en “Afraid No More”, una balada de alto voltaje en la que se apuesta por vivir sin miedo en un momento como el actual frente a la paranoia y la ansiedad, utilizando la imagen del final del verano. Como ocurre a lo largo de las 10 canciones de este nuevo proyecto, encontramos calidez y energía positiva. Otro de los invitados a la aventura sonora de The Next Waltz ha sido Charley Crockett, que ha participado en el tercer volumen de las grabaciones realizadas en The Bunker con esta versión de “I Can Help”, la canción por la que todo el mundo recuerda a Billy Swan, un músico crecido escuchando a Hank Williams y Lefty Frizzell, además de recibir la influencia de artistas de rock'n'roll como Buddy Holly y Jerry Lee Lewis. Billy Swan, que había recibido algún dinero al perder un ojo en un accidente, se marchó a Memphis, Tennessee, desde su Missouri natal y después a Nashville, donde en principio sólo encontró un puesto de portero en los estudios de Columbia. Allí vio grabar parte de Blonde On Blonde a Bob Dylan y conoció a quién sería uno de sus grandes amigos, Kris Kristofferson. El productor Chip Young le invitó a grabar en Monument y empezó versionando el clásico de Hank Williams "Wedding Bells". Pero Billy Swan había recibido un órgano eléctrico portátil como regalo de bodas de Kristofferson y Rita Coolidge y en aquel instrumento nacieron las notas de "I Can Help" añadiendo la letra en muy pocos minutos inspirado por el embarazo de su mujer. Fue el más rotundo éxito de su carrera, encabezando las listas de country y de pop en 1974 con un reconocimiento internacional inimaginable. Por entonces, llegó a visitar España en una inesperada visita para promocionar el álbum del mismo título. Pero regresó con Kristofferson como miembro básico de su banda de acompañamiento y pasó prácticamente al anonimato. Entre las innumerables personas afectadas por la actual pandemia del COVID-19 se encuentran los músicos. Como estamos observando según pasan los días, las semanas y los meses, muchos de ellos se han puesto a la tarea de hacer la transición hacia los días inciertos que se avecinan. Ellos siguen creando y compartiendo sus creaciones con quienes hasta hace muy poco éramos sus oyentes y espectadores más fieles. Aunque los tejanos Flatland Cavalry grabaron "War With My Mind" antes del confinamiento para el sello The Next Waltz de Bruce Robison, esta canción nació de sentimientos de autoaislamiento, que ahora nos son demasiado familiares. Fue compuesta por su líder, Cleto Cordero junto a su novia, la también cantante y compositora Kaitlin Butts, y es ahora el momento en que ve la luz. El álbum The Next Waltz Volume Th3ee se pondrá a la venta el próximo 27 de noviembre con 10 canciones grabadas en The Bunker, localizado en Lockhart, Texas, sin lo que Bruce Robison llama “travesuras digitales”. Además de Charley Crokett, músicos como Jack Ingram, Flatland Cavalry, The Panhandlers, Cody Canada o David Ramirez, entre otros, han participado en esas sesiones. Y también pasó por allí Robert Ellis que realizó esta versión de "I Must Be In A Good Place Now", una de las canciones más hermosas de Bobby Charles. El legendario músico de Louisiana ya había sido elegido por Bruce Robison y Kelly Willis para incluir en este álbum "Tennessee Blues". Ethan Johns, un productor curtido al lado de nombres tan eclécticos y sonoros como Ray LaMontagne, Paul McCartney o Kings of Leon, ha sido el encargado de trabajar al lado de Mary Chapin Carpenter, a la que se llevó hasta los estudios Real World de Peter Gabriel en Bath, al suroeste de Inglaterra, para grabar The Dirt And The Stars, el nuevo álbum de la cantante compositora de Nueva Jersey, que explora los desafíos del presente desde una visión íntima y personal. Mary Chapin compuso estas canciones en su granja de Virginia antes de la pandemia, y deja momentos tan intensos como “Secret Keepers”, un recordatorio de aquellas experiencias irremplazables que nunca desaparecen. Que las cicatrices desaparezcan no significa que lo haga el dolor que las produjeron. Ella es Robynn Shayne, cantante y compositora residente en Austin desde hace siete años, a la que es fácil encontrar sobre los escenarios del Saxon Pub o el Continental Club. En realidad el músico de la familia era su hermano Shane, pero tras su muerte con tan solo 20 años, ella decidió aprender a tocar la guitarra de forma autodidacta para contar sus vivencias bajo la influencia de Dolly Parton, Jessi Colter y los sonidos de los Strangers de Merle Haggard. Su último single, "Devil You Know", es la entrada más alta de la lista semanal de canciones más pinchadas en las emisoras de Texas. Forma parte de su cuarto álbum de estudio, Let's Get This Show on The Road, y habla sobre ciertas situaciones en las que no deberías estar y no sabes a ciencia cierta si es mejor marcharte o quedarte. En conjunto, este trabajo es especialmente emotivo y viene a continuar el éxito de su predecesor, Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights, que llegó a ser nominado a álbum del año en 2018 por la Texas Country Music Association. Suponemos que “Burn My Bridges” es el adelanto de un nuevo proyecto para Michaela Anne, que vuelve a contar con el apoyo de Kelly Winrich y Sam Outlaw en la producción de una canción que surgió en una mañana de resaca tras una noche intensa en la que decidió que su vida tenía que cambiar de rumbo y para ello debía quemar ciertos puentes. Esta joven neoyorquina de Brooklyn establecida en Nashville ha padecido las circunstancias de la pandemia que le han impedido apoyar como merecía su tercer álbum, Desert Rose, que se editaba a finales de septiembre del año pasado. Si miras los créditos de algunas canciones que hayan grabado Lee Ann Womack, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett e incluso Rodney Crowell, encontrarás como compositora a Brennen Leigh, una mujer con una facilidad especial para contar historias creíbles. Tiene ya seis álbumes y el último de ellos, Prairie Love Letter, ha sido producido por Robbie Fulks para rendir homenaje a su lugar de procedencia, la frontera entre el oeste de Minnesota y el este de Dakota del Norte y que viene a resumir sus sentimientos en el tema de apertura “Don’t You Know I’m From Here” donde la tradición y las raíces se muestran en cada nota. Hace varios meses, antes de la llegada del verano, anticipamos en TOMA UNO que Sturgill Simpson estaba grabando un álbum de bluegrass, el estilo de música propio de su estado natal, Kentucky. También fue ayer el día elegido para editarlo bajo el nombre genérico de Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, grabado en ese estudio de Nashville con músicos del nivel de Stuart Duncan, Mike Bub, Sierra Hull, Scott Vestal, Tim O’Brien, Mark Howard y su batería de siempre, Miles Miller. El encargado de la producción ha sido David “Ferg” Ferguson. Son 20 canciones en las que recorre su propia carrera en solitario y sus aventuras como miembro de Sunday Valley. Entre las canciones de sus álbumes en solitario, ha retomado de esta forma “Long White Line”, uno de los cortes de Metamodern Sounds In Country Music, que produjo Dave Cobb en 2014 y que supuso el segundo de su carrera, grabado con 4.000 dólares en cinco días y medio. Cualquier movimiento de Sturgill Simpson no suele pasar inadvertido, pero en este caso la sorpresa es evidente con esta revisión tan particular de algunas de las canciones de sus discos anteriores. Así ha ocurrido con “All Around You”, que abre este Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 - The Butcher Shoppe Sessions, y que fue una de las piezas de A Sailor's Guide To Earth de hace cuatro años, un tercer disco que superó todas las previsiones, dando un notable giro a su andadura y logrando llegar a la cima de las listas y conseguir un Grammy al mejor disco de country. “All Around You” ya fue uno de los cortes más reconocibles y cercanos de aquel trabajo que ahora en esta versión parece perfecto para paisajes agrestes y saludables.

In this week's episode we're featuring the debut country record for Louisiana's Alecia Nugent: "The Old Side Of Town" (2020). After three top-notch bluegrass albums on Rounder Records, Nugent elected to slow down and came off the road to spend more time raising her three daughters. Life got in the way, however, and after an extended period at home but with the intention of recording another project, Nugent moved back to Nashville, secured a backer and her first album in ten years was born. Even during the making of her third album "Hillbilly Goddess", the Rounder folks noted that Nugent had a penchant for picking country-flavoured songs - so it seemed natural that "The Old Side Of Town" would be her country music debut. Classic country too - fiddle from Stuart Duncan and steel from maestro Paul Franklin under the deft production of Keith Stegall - Nugent's return to form is steeped in tradition and is an intensely personal, emotional and enjoyable album. The tearjerking tribute to her Dad in "They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy Anymore" is the album's lynchpin; a cover of mentor/employer Tom T. Hall's "The Old Side Of Town" is right on point and the Texas shuffle style of "Tell Fort Worth I Said Hello" is another highlight. Thoroughly enjoyable comeback which will likely appeal to fans of both country and bluegrass music.

Jerry Douglas in the encyclopedias as the singular innovator of the Dobro, that horizontal acoustic slide guitar developed in the early 20th century. But that's like calling Charlie Parker a saxophone player. Jerry is a consummate creator who found an unlikely muse and who made the most of it. Among the vast catalog, Douglas has recorded or performed with: Charlie Waller's Country Gentlemen, The Whites, Ricky Skaggs, JD Crowe, Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Garth Brooks, Elvis Costello, Bill Frisell and it just goes on and on. Since the mid 90s he's been a key voice, instrumentally and vocally, in Alison Krauss and Union Station. Recently he formed the Earls of Leicester, a deeply traditional bluegrass band that channels the work and feeling of Flatt & Scruggs, and they promptly won every award in sight. And for many of us, the hub of the wheel of Jerry's world has been his lifelong collaborations with fellow newgrass superstars Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, Tony Rice and Edgar Meyer. And yet for all his adventures, Jerry the  band leader and composer never quite found the path to writing and recording in an idiom he's loved his whole life. Until now. He's recently released a jazz fusion record called What If.  Also on the show, a short interview with Anna Bek Schwaber, producer and director of The Porchlight Sessions, a profile of the bluegrass community in the 21st century that's newly out as a web pay per view documentary.
