He delivers a fresh blend of vintage country, Americana and Latin music with a timeless baritone and an old soul maturity that belies his youth. His new album Faded Memories released in 2022, featuring the slow-burn single “Bourbon Whiskey” as well as a mesmerizing cover of Bruce Springsteen's “I'm On Fire” and the haunting “In The Dark.” The album has garnered praise from critics including American Songwriter, Billboard, CMT and more, and his current track “Damn This Heart Of Mine” is Beckmann's fourth consecutive single to hit the Top 20 at Texas Regional Radio Chart. Beckmann has amassed an incredible fanbase, independently garnering more 670,000 followers on TikTok and over 2 million streams of Faded Memories. He has spent the last year touring with artists including Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, Randy Rogers Band and Wade Bowen and sold out three shows at legendary Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, TX in 2022.https://williambeckmann.comwww.GaryScottThomas.com

It's a new year Americana Podcast listeners! And with a new year, means new discussions on what makes Americana… well Americana. When we look at this genre, we talk a lot it's history and its future. And over time we've been able to piece together this ongoing timeline and certain elements that are key to its existence. Base influences in songwriting, certain instrumentation, and geography. If you've been a long-time listener, you'd know that many of our previous guests have attributed a great deal of their musical identity to where they learned music from. This of course is a holdover from the new world mentality in the west, where many genres developed due to particularly regional and social integrations over extended periods of time. When looking at Americana we are specifically looking at the European folk trad to bluegrass, blues to rock, and then rock and bluegrass to country as we know it today. That's a lot of words to basically say the place that you identify as home, has as significant of an effect on your musical education as who's albums you choose to listen to growing up. And Kentucky aside, some of the artists that know that best are from Texas and Oklahoma.There's a lot of opinions on the state of Red Dirt Music and Texas Country. Developing as sub genres in the late 80's to early 00's, this very regional brand of music came up in response to commercial country. And I'm not talking Florida Georgia Line commercial, I'm talking Tim McGraw commercial. Who we love. But there's a lot of ups and downs and opinions in the overall conversation but the general one is that Red Dirt and Texas Country became a space for outsiders beyond the Nashville standard. Piggybacking off of the outlaw movement and the historical legacies of artists, particularly Texas native Willie Nelson, these scenes were able to flourish in their respective regions and began to go a bit beyond. They were in a position to challenge the value of industry effect in radio versus organic growth in listenership. They developed loyal followings, local radio play. The works. But due to a long series of unfortunate commercial circumstances, the scenes have presently been relegated very much south of the red river. And I could go on about this, but fortunately this episode you can it straight from the quarter horse's mouth. Americana Podcast speaks with the artists who possibly have the most pertinent opinions on the state of Red Dirt and Texas Country and their weight in the views of Americana music. On this episode we have musical and actual giant Ray Benson from Asleep at The Wheel. Defender of the Dance Hall Randy Rogers, Okie not from Muskogee Jason Boland of Jason Boland and the stragglers, young blood William Beckmann, whip smart Wade Bowan, and philanthropist at heart Josh Abbott.

We had the pleasure of interviewing William Beckmann over Zoom video.William Beckmann, the bilingual country crooner who is releasing his new album Faded Memories.Hailing from the border town of Del Rio, TX, William was raised on both classic country and the Norteño sounds of northern Mexico. He delivers a blend of vintage country, Americana and Latin music in a timeless baritone that sounds right at home with country legends well beyond his years. His latest single “Danced All Night Long” is a Latin country love song that's been hailed by American Songwriter and Billboard, who said "The bilingual track highlights his smooth vocal, with nods to George Strait, while breezes of horns and acoustic guitar propel this country waltz.” William has also released several other singles off the new album, including the slow-burn “Bourbon Whiskey,” a mesmerizing cover of Bruce Springsteen's “I'm On Fire” and my personal fave, the haunting “In The Dark,” which was praised by CMT. Folks like Randy Rogers and fellow Del Rio native Radney Foster have already taken notice of William, both mentoring and working with him in various capacities over the last couple years. He spent most of last year touring with Parker McCollum, Randy Rogers Band, Wade Bowen, etc, and he's already amassed an incredible fanbase, independently garnering more than 41k followers across socials, 450k TikTok followers and over 1M streams.We want to hear from you!

Hemos llegado a mitad de este 2021 y es el momento de hacer un pequeño balance de todo lo que hemos escuchado a lo largo de estos seis meses en los que, a pesar de las circunstancias especiales a las que nos ha obligado la pandemia, hemos reunido un buen puñado de canciones perfectas para escuchar en el porche a cualquier hora. Ojalá a finales de año podamos hacer lo mismo con los próximos seis meses. Con la herencia de enormes contadores de historias, Mac Leaphart, nacido en Carolina del Sur, nos ha dejado un álbum tan vitalista como Music City Joke y una canción magnífica: "That Train". Yendo a las tierras de Colorado nos encontramos a The Barlow, cuyo segundo trabajo, Horseshoe Lounge, está inyectado de Red Dirt Music tal y como se manifiesta en “Fixin’ To Run”. De la provincia canadiense de Ontario, es Spencer Burton que regresa a sus raíces naturales en “Things I Can’t Do”, con el apoyo vocal de Caitlin Rose, para su álbum Coyote. John Hiatt y la Jerry Douglas Band han continuado con la tradición del legendario RCA Studio B de Nashville para completar un álbum como Leftover Feelings y dejar piezas maestras del calibre de "All The Lilacs In Ohio". A medio camino entre John Prine y Guy Clark, Vincent Neil Emerson ha encontrado a Rodney Crowell para producir su segundo álbum y regalando temas como "Texas Moon". Por otro lado, William Beckmann tuvo a Radney Foster como mentor y prepara un álbum en el que incluirá temas atemporales de la magnitud de "Bourbon Whisky". El también tejano Jason Eady ha dejado en su álbum Passage of Time una especie de estallido de creatividad en plena cuarentena. "My Best Friend” es su mejor ejemplo. Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real lanzaron por fin A Few Stars Apart, uno de los discos más esperados y donde Lukas se acerca más a las esencias de su padre, Ol' Willie, en una oda al amor como “We’ll Be Alright”. Tampoco podemos olvidar el regreso de la legendaria Loretta Lynn con Still Woman Enough, donde colabora con distintas mujeres cercanas al country, entre ella está Margo Price con quien recuerda a dúo “One’s On The Way”. El atrevimiento de Shannon McNally ha dado sus frutos en The Waylon Sessions, visión femenina y matizada de algunos de los grandes clásicos del mítico músico tejano. Su versión junto a Rodney Crowell de "I Ain’t Living Long Like This" es soberbia. Tras un docena de años en silencio, Treasure of Love supone la vuelta conjunta de Butch Hancock, Joe Ely y Jimmie Dale Gilmore bajo el nombre mítico de los Flatlanders con una versión imponente del clásico “Sittin’ On Top Of The World”. Para despedirnos nos emplazamos a ver a Blackberry Smoke, en su regreso a escenarios españoles a comienzos de 2022. Ahora nos han regalado You Hear Georgia, un disco magnífico en el que aparece "Ain't The Shame" . Escuchar audio

El pasado martes supimos de la muerte de Pinto Bennett, una de las leyendas de la música del estado de Idaho, mentor de bandas de la zona y cowboy con el espíritu de Jack Kerouac. Nativo de Mountain Home, en Idaho, creció en un rancho mientras se sumergía en la música de Hank Williams y Lefty Frizzell. Desde los años 60, estuvo fusionando honky tonk con sonidos más contemporáneos y desarrolló un estilo muy personal dentro de este terreno, anticipándose a las tonalidades que hoy le son propias a la Red Dirt Music. Lideró a The Famous Motel Cowboys, fue mentor de Reckless Kelly y Micky & The Motorcars y tuvo una brillante carrera en solitario que cerró con el álbum The Last Saturday Night. Grant Maloy Smith también ha mirado a la tradición secular en su nuevo álbum Appalachia: American Stories, una selección de 12 tonadas del enorme cancionero de los Apalaches de este veterano de Jacksonville, Florida, donde no faltan los mineros del carbón sacando sus luchas a la superficie. El legado de los viejos cowboys y de cómo esa herencia prende en jóvenes cantantes y compositores del estilo de Colter Wall, ese canadiense nativo de Saskatchewan que revitaliza la tradición del Western devolviendo al presente temas clásicos como "Cowpoke". Uno de sus grandes amigos es Vincent Neil Emerson, un veinteañero de Myrtle Springs que en su segundo trabajo, de título homónimo, ha seguido los caminos de la tradición del estado de Texas con la producción de Rodney Crowell. Por su parte, William Beckmann es otro de los más esperanzadores músicos de la nueva generación de la country music. “Someday” es uno de esos temas que nos devuelve el tono clásico de los trovadores. Hace 30 años, Trisha Yearwood lanzó su primer sencillo, "She’s In Love With The Boy", y batió todos los récords para una mujer debutante. Para celebrarlo ha realizado una versión llena de nostalgia de aquel tema que formará parte de Every Girl: Deluxe que actualiza su álbum de 2019 con tres cortes nuevos. La película de Netflix The Ice Road, estrenada el pasado fin de semana, cuenta la historia de un camionero que lidera la misión de rescatar a los supervivientes del derrumbe de una mina. Su banda sonora nos deja algunas sorpresas muy agradables como escuchar a Miranda Lambert, The Cadillac Three o Jason Isbell versionando clásicos irrenunciables de la country music. Este último también es uno de los 53 invitados a reinventar las canciones del álbum Metallica, que todos conocemos como The Black Album. Su versión a “Sad But True” es perfecta para cerrar hoy TOMA UNO.  Escuchar audio

El álbum Storms of Life de Randy Travis acaba de cumplir 35 años desde su publicación. Para celebrarlo a finales de septiembre se lanzará una edición remasterizada del disco con el añadido, eso sí, de tres canciones inéditas. "On The Other Hand", su primer single de entonces, ha abierto el programa, además de incluir uno de esos cortes de sus comienzos, cuando el movimiento neotradicionalista de finales de los 80 despertó a una adormecida industria de Nashville. Mark Chesnutt fue otro de aquellos revulsivos que apostaban por la vuelta a las raíces de la mejor country music y que el pasado fin de semana sacó a la luz 6 Pack Summer Mix Tape, justo cuando conocemos a su hijo, Casey Chesnutt. Down Mexico Way que significa su debut discográfico y un encuentro profundo con la tradición musical de esas tierras fronterizas. Bo DePeña se fue a la sombra de las Rocky Mountains, en Colorado, desde su ciudad natal de Laredo, Texas, recurriendo a las tradiciones del Western que han conquistado las tierras de Colorado y siendo capaz de equilibrar su expresividad como sus silencios. Atención a It's About To Get Western, su nuevo álbum. William Beckmann tiene la herencia fronteriza de la tejana ciudad de Del Río y está preparando nuevas propuestas para este año. Su anticipo es “Bourbon Whiskey”, una canción con textura de tema clásico. En cuanto a la actualidad del Lone Star State es preciso subrayar que Kylie Frey ha situado "Horses in Heaven" como canción más pinchadas de las emisoras de aquel estado, aunque ella naciera en el de Louisiana. Mientras, Shannon McNally sigue conquistandonos con su The Waylon Sessions, eligiendo temas del calibre de “Black Rose”, que compuso Billy Joe Shaver y que es una prueba de fuego de la que ha salido claramente reforzada. Wilson Banjo Co es una banda de Westminster, South Carolina, que reafirma la idea de que el bluegrass nunca ha sido un estilo monolítico. Su desarrollo nos da enormes alegrías como la de escuchar propuestas como las suyas. Marty Stuart se fijó en los británicos Wandering Hearts durante su gira por aquel país en 2017, les tuvo de teloneros, les regaló una canción como "Dreams" y les invitó a su casa para poner su guitarra y su mandolina en la versión final. Hablando de final y despidiendo el programa de hoy volvemos a incidir en John Hiatt con la Jerry Douglas Band con un trabajo conjunto magistral que mantiene nuestra apuesta por que será uno de los álbumes del año.

La pandemia nos dejó desubicados a casi todos y también a Cody Jinks, pero con el paso del tiempo ha empezado a sacar a la luz su concierto del pasado otoño y que ahora titulado Adobe Sessions Unplugged, mostrando la desnudez de uno de los baluartes del Outlaw country. “Rock And Roll” es una de sus grandes canciones y la apertura de nuestro programa de este domingo. William Beckmann tiene 25 años y el poderío vocal de un veterano. Cuenta con la herencia fronteriza de una pequeña ciudad tejana como Del Rio y su más reciente single, “Bourbon Whiskey”, una canción con textura de tema clásico atemporal. Zach Bryan es un okie sencillo de Oologah , un pueblo de poco más de mil habitantes, que debutó en Opry hace un par de sábados rompiendo, una vez más, los pronósticos de los agoreros. Desde hace poco menos de dos años se ha convertido en un fenómeno viral con grabaciones caseras de sus propias canciones y en TOMA UNO no dejamos de recomendar. La entrega de los premios anuales de la Academy of Country Music (ACM) del pasado domingo no ha dejado demasiadas novedades que mencionar, pero si nos ha servido para ver como algunos de los invitados a la gala aprovecharon la ocasión para hacernos algunos regalos inesperados. Chris Stapleton cantó con Miranda Lambert haciéndole los coros; ella misma presentó el álbum The Marfa Tapes al lado de sus paisanos Jon Randall y Jack Ingram, y Dierks Bentley volvió a sus raíces en el bluegrass junto a The War & Treaty y Larkin' Poe para cantar a U2. Ya que nos hemos internado en los terrenos de la tradición sonora de Kentucky, anticipamos que el próximo Record Store Day del mes de julio nos traerá por primera vez en vinilo el álbum Undercover de The Infamous Stringdusters., que se cerraba versionando "American Girl" de Tom Petty. Aquel mítico Wilflowers del músico de Florida reeditado hace unos meses ha cerrado el círculo con la publicación de Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions), donde encontramos la inédita “You Saw Me Comin’”. El respeto por quienes nos siguen señalando el camino nos obliga a compartir en nuestro tiempo de radio "Money Train", un anticipo del próximo álbum de Malcolm Holcombe, de igual manera que celebramos que John Hiatt haya vuelto al legendario RCA Studio B de Nashville medio siglo después de su llegada a Music City y haya compartido esas sesiones con la Jerry Douglas Band. Para despedirnos por esta semana hemos vuelto al refugio en la tradición, esta vez de la mano de nuestro buen amigo JP Harris, con un proyecto que firma como JP Harris’ Dreadful Wind & Rain, y que verá la luz el 25 de junio con un consejo convertido en su título: Don’t You Marry No Railroad Man. Chance McCoy ha sido su anfitrión y colaborador más cercano. Escuchar audio
