Rodney Dillard talks Earthman and The Dillards

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Azlyrics

Rodney Dillard has been an important part of American music this past fifty some years. In the ’60s, he helped introduce traditional music to a new generation as a member of The Dillards on The Andy Griffith Show. Rodney was the goony-looking guitar player. He also sang on the initial recording of what is perhaps the most iconic bluegrass song of all time, Old Home Place, which was written by Dean Webb and Mitch Jayne for their debut album in 1963.

Then in the ’70s, he and The Dillards helped spearhead a nascent country rock scene developing in southern California. Not only were the later Dillards, and their more experimental sound, a major influence for younger artists coming into the scene, Rodney literally provided many of them room and board in his spacious Laurel Canyon home.

Younger bluegrass lovers might be forgiven for underestimating the influence The Andy Griffith Show had on American television viewers during its eight-year run. It ranked in the top ten shows in every year, ending the final season as #1, and was nominated for and won many Emmy Awards during that time. Not only that, its success was the impetus for a number of additional programs with a homespun rural flavor, including The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction, all of which succeeded on TV.

The original Dillards, Rodney on guitar, his brother Doug on banjo, Mitchell Jayne on bass, and Dean Webb on mandolin, appeared on 6 episodes of the show as the Darlin’ family from 1963 to 1968. They played 14 songs in full or in part, often with the main Andy Taylor character joining in, selected from bluegrass standards and original numbers the Dillards had written. These episodes were extremely popular with fans, and launched The Dillards to a huge surge in popularity that soon found them regular performers on the college circuit, where the ’60s folk music boom made urban listeners hungry for authentic mountain music.

But even though The Dillards moved into a similar artistic space as other young artists like The Byrds in the 1970s, Dillard never lost his passion or missionary zeal for traditional bluegrass and mountain music.

When we spoke yesterday with Rodney, he reflected on the many achievements he has been a a part of in a career that still continues.

“It’s been an interesting run, and I sure have enjoyed everything I’ve been able to do. I’m still learning things about what we did back then.

I just feel so blessed… just a kid from the Ozarks who had the chance to travel all over the world making music.”

The reason for our chat was the impending arrival of a new Dillards album later this year, and a recently-released debut single, Earthman. Since Rodney has recorded a number of projects under his own name, I wondered why use the band name for this one.

“The Dillards have been the Dillards since my brother and I were born. I decided to keep the name to honor all the guys who have been a part of it over the years. I figure as long as I am alive and going, The Dillards are alive and going. It’s a family.”

Rodney also shared a bit about the song…

“Bob Milsap wrote this 20 years ago. I met him when I first moved to Branson. He built a studio here, and we got to be good friends. He had written a book called Earthman, and I recorded the song as a demo for Bob.

My wife, Beverly Cotten-Dillard, suggested that I redo this one. We had to hunt around a bit to find the old tape, but I’m really happy with what we recorded.”

The single, and the full album, are being released by a new label created by Dillard with recording engineer and producer Bil VornDik, which they call Two Old Dogs Music.

“I called Bil one day when I realized that I had an opportunity to record this album, and asked if he wanted to produce it. We named the company that way because we are two old dogs, and we both have old dogs!”

Rodney is supported on the album primarily by the currently touring Dillards: George Giddens on fiddle, Gray Smith on bass, Cory Walker on banjo, and Beverly Cotten-Dillard on banjo, fiddle, and voice. But it is rife with guest contributions from many of the artists who claim Rodney and The Dillards as influences. From the Nashville/bluegrass world came Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, and Tim Crouch, and from the west coast, Herb Pedersen plus Don Henley and Bernie Leadon from The Eagles.

“The record is titled Old Road New Again, taken from one of the songs, Make This Old Road New Again. Don Henley sings it with me, and it’s pretty much the story of The Dillards. The lyrics include stories about The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.

Another one I really like is Always Gonna Be You. It’s a love song, and me and Beverly sing as a duet. She plays clawhammer banjo, and it has a string quartet – just banjo and string quartet.”

We then touched on the impact of the shutdown on current artists, and he mentioned that he has also lost almost all of the live appearances that had been booked to coincide with the single release. That touched off a lovely philosophical ramble…

“A wonderful thing about bluegrass is, we have so many incredible young people in the music, and they play so well. I feel so sorry for all these young people who are laid off from their bands. They play so well, and I always encourage them to take what they have learned from the tradition, and make it their own. Let the museums hang on to the old stuff, and create something new with your music. 

This new record is not a swan song, but something I’ve wanted to do for several years. I’ve been blessed to have a career where I could go on without having to scratch out a living. I live in a beautiful place on a mountain in Branson, and I get to fish and play with the grandkids.

I gotta tell ya… when I first got the opportunity to do this, I told John Holzman with Elektra Records that I wanted to make this the bookend to the Dillards Wheatstraw Suite album [1968]. A lot of bluegrass people didn’t like it back then because we used orchestration. At the time bluegrass wasn’t as popular as it is today. It was just something I wanted to do, not something I thought much about.

Holzman says he loves the new record. He said he keeps it in his car, and loves to listen to it when he’s down.”

Wheatstraw Suite was a major turning point, not only for The Dillards, but for many other young artists who felt a pull towards authentic, traditional music at the end of the ’60s. By today’s standards, it sounds mostly bluegrass, but they used pedal steel guitar and drums on most tracks, even before The Osborne Brothers electrified in 1969. But young pop music listeners just heard it as sounding like The Byrds, who had just brought Gram Parsons into the group after pushing David Crosby out. Country rock was about to be a thing.

“Don Henley, Linda Ronstadt, Albert Lee… they were among the people who called and told me how much they loved Wheatstraw, and how much it had influenced their music.

Back then we all hung out at The Troubadour. That was where things started. We would sit around the bar and sing. The Eagles, Ronstadt, Emmylou… they were all there.”

During a separate interview, VornDick shared how excited many of the prominent artists had been to be part of this album. To appear on a record from The Dillards, for them, was too good to be true. He even mentioned that Henley, who had flown in to sing on one track, asked to be able to sing on another as well when he heard the roughs.

In closing, Rodney wanted to emphasize that the new project is a collection of things he cares about, and hopes people will see it that way, and not him coming across as preachy or condescending.

“I wanted to share something, but not pontificate. Not shove anything down people’s throats. 

I’ve always tried to surround myself with musicians that play better than me, and people who are smarter than me.

I’m a Christian, but I wasn’t until I was 49 years old. The album reflects a lot of my values, just the way I see things. Looking for truth, and a little bit of love.”

Looking for truth, and a little bit of love… the last line of the chorus from the single.

Earthman is available now wherever you stream or download music online. Expect to hear more about the album soon as well.

Rodney says that he is using the down time until he can start touring again to complete a book project.

“It will be called Nuggets From The Horse I Rode In O,  a book I’ve been writing this past two years. At this point, it’s just vignettes of my life in music, and the people I have met. I have to figure out how to put it into book form.”

That, like Old Road New Again, is definitely something to look forward to.

Brayden Williamson endorsed by Black Diamond Strings

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Azlyrics

Young up-and-coming bluegrass artist Brayden Williamson is now being endorsed by Black Diamond Strings, currently manufactured by Santa Rosa, California-based string manufacturer Sfarzo Guitar Strings Company. 

Williamson, who was recently the subject of a Young Uns feature at Bluegrass Today, explains what happened … 

“Recently I was contacted by the Black Diamond String company’s owner Greg Sfarzo after him seeing a video performance of me singing Black Diamond Strings, written by Larry Cordle. 

He offered to send me a free set of their guitar strings to try with a follow up saying ‘If you enjoy the strings we can set you up as an endorsed artist!’ When I received the strings, I, of course, tried them out and was astounded with the sound and feel. I then contacted them back and they agreed to have them endorse me. I agreed to add their logo to my website. 

I am their youngest endorsed artist at age 17.”

This is the video that triggered the endorsement … 

Black Diamond Strings originated in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where the National Musical String Co., the first maker of harmonicas in America, became one of the world’s largest manufacturers of steel musical strings. 

From 1930 Black Diamond Strings were made in Chicago, where strings were made by the Super-Sensitive Musical String Co, before that company was bought and, in 1972, the business was moved to Sarasota, Florida. 

In 2001 the Black Diamond brand, which had changed hands and been neglected over the years, was bought and manufacture began in Sarasota. 

The now-disbanded Cherryholmes family bluegrass band and country music star Josh Turner are among the earlier musicians that have been endorsed by Black Diamond Strings. 

Black Diamond Strings was acquired by the Sfarzo Guitar Strings Company, which has over 35 years of string making experience, in 2018.

Welcome to Mountain Time, and their debut single

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Azlyrics

From eastern Kentucky comes a new bluegrass band, Mountain Time, with a driving sound and a youthful approach to the music.

The group features the singing, songwriting, and fiddling of Heather Alley, supported by Dylan Hager on guitar, Chaston Carroll on mandolin, Brad Powers on banjo, and Chad Castle on bass. Dylan shares lead singing duties with Heather, giving the band some vocal variety in their presentation.

Heather tells us that they put the group together last year with an eye towards a 2020 season that is quite late in getting started, but that they are pleased to be able to at least get this first single out there in the spring.

“We decided to form a band in December of 2019, and were just getting started when the pandemic hit. Luckily, we were able to get into the studio before quarantine and recorded 3 tracks!

We know that it’s a hard time for musicians right now and also for those that are stuck at home. We’re excited to be able to bring new music to those that are missing the ability to go out to live shows and hear everyone’s music!”

The debut release is one Heather wrote called Mountain Time, which they liked so well they gave the band the same name.

Mountain Time will be available soon wherever you stream and download music online. Radio programmers can get the track now from AirPlay Direct.

All Of These Years – Steve Thomas & The Time Machine

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Azlyrics

Steve Thomas’s musical career has been a bit of a roundabout trip through the music business, taking him from stints with bluegrass greats like The Osborne Brothers and Del McCoury, to tours and recordings with country stars such as Brooks and Dunn and Barbara Mandrell. Many bluegrass fans are probably most familiar with his name from his 2014 #1 with Mark Newton, Old McDonald Sold the Farm, but Thomas’s instrumental and vocal skill goes back several decades. Now, he’s released a new album on Pinecastle’s Bonfire label with his touring band, All Of These Years, showcasing a fine set of originals, old favorites, and a few newer cuts.

The lead single, Down in the Wildwood is a cheerful, light song about young love that has withstood the test of time, guided by Josh Matheny’s dobro and banjo from Scott Vestal. It’s an enjoyable number that’s sure to do well on radio, and one of several originals from Thomas. Another original is Since Love Came Around, a gentle number about the power of love. Its easygoing, peaceful feel has a Tim Stafford vibe. Thomas also penned the bluesy The Rat Race, a takedown of the constant busyness that permeates today’s society. He contributed most of the instrumentation on this number, and the guitar and fiddle are particularly of note here. 

Country music fans are likely to recognize a few songs on the album. Lucky Man was a hit for Montgomery Gentry in 2006, and it transfers well to bluegrass. Earnest vocals from Thomas, a foot-tapping rhythm, and bright banjo from Chris Wade made the song a repeat listen for me. Also enjoyable is The Moon Over Georgia, a top ten song for Shenandoah in 1991. Thomas’s version of this heartfelt love song is faithful to the original, with strong country-style lead vocals from Matheny. 

It wouldn’t be a bluegrass album without a nod to the genre’s founding fathers, and Thomas makes several. Bill Monroe’s Rocky Road Blues is a fun romp, as it should be, with Thomas trying his hand at a yodel. Flatt and Scruggs receives a shout-out with the straight-ahead traditional cut of We’ll Meet Again Sweetheart. Much of the album lies farther into the contemporary or country-influenced sound, but this song lands solidly in the traditional world, helped along by banjo from Daniel Grindstaff and mandolin and tenor vocals from Bobby Osborne.

Steve Thomas has always been a favorite of mine, both for his playing and singing, and I’m glad to have a new album from him. He’s got a fine set of musicians helping him out here, both from his regular band and guests from around the bluegrass world, and it results in a tight-sounding album that listeners will want to keep on repeat. 

For more information on Steve Thomas and the Time Machine, visit their website. Their new album is available from a number of online retailers.

IBMA Trust Fund creates COVID-19 relief fund

Posted on April 30, 2020 by Azlyrics

Within our bluegrass community, the first topic to come up in conversation amongst ourselves – after inquiring about everyone’s health – is how much work has been lost since the coronavirus shutdown.

With all venues down to the neighborhood bar closed to the public, any artist dependent on live performance for income has been suddenly slapped with an out-of-work status. That affects every bluegrass act from the top touring shows right down to the amateur band who plays every Wednesday at the local pub. Even people who don’t primarily work as musicians still count on that income, and the loss is felt down through to folks who do tour support work. Publicists, photographers, writers, and event producers, plus agents and management folks are suffering just as badly as everyone else whose jobs have been cancelled as non-essential.

But fortunately our industry established a trust fund for this purpose when the International Bluegrass Music Association was formed in 1985, specifically to assist people who work in bluegrass when times are tough. It’s not likely that the founders imagined a scenario like this, when all public performance might be cancelled, but the keepers of the IBMA Trust Fund have maintained and fostered this resource for the past 35 years, built both by individual and corporate donations, and regular contributions from the monies raised during the annual World of Bluegrass and Wide Open Bluegrass events.

To deal with the many dire cases in the lives of bluegrass artists and industry support persons affected by the COVID-19 restrictions, the Trust Fund has set aside $150,000 of current assets into a COVID-19 Relief account. Anyone interested in assisting this effort is urged to make a donation for this purpose, which will be sequestered from other Trust Fund resources, and used only for this purpose.

The Donate form online has a line where you can choose whether any gift, regardless of size, should be designated for COID-19 Relief, or simply go into the general assistance account. This is a perfect way to give back to bluegrass for those who have been able to work from home without any reduction in hours or income, to use their CARES stimulus checks if you don’t really need them. Many people receiving the checks need them desperately to help ends meet during this shutdown, but some may feel a bit guilty receiving them when they have suffered no interruption of income.

I am personally aware of at least one highly visible bluegrass entertainer who has made a substantial donation to this fund, and while all gifts are anonymous, it’s nice to know that the big stars are willing to give from their abundance to help those in need.

Of course the IBMA Trust Fund encourages those within our community who could use the help to apply for COID-19 assistance. To ensure privacy, there is no online application form, but anyone interested can contact the IBMA office, or print and complete the application form available online, and mail it in to:

IBMA Trust Fund
c/o IBMA
4206 Gallatin Pike
Nashville, TN  37216 USA
615-256-3222 or 888-438-4262 (toll-free)

While the Trust Fund acknowledges that they aren’t in a position to replace all lost income that professionals are missing, immediate grants of $500 are available for anyone who qualifies. That may not sound like much for people who have lost gigs totaling in the thousands of dollars, every little bit helps.

As a motto for this effort, IBMA has chosen, “If you have a little, give; If you need a little, ask.”

Full details on donating can be found on the COVID-19 Relief Fund web site.

V Don – Get Back Lyrics (feat. Dave East)

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

I’m just trying to get back
Had some dimes in a sac
They out robbing for that, ain’t no time to react
He can rhyme, he can rap
But the swine on his back
Ride with 9’s on his lap, but his mind on diamonds and plaques
He did time for his strap
He not trying to relapse, he just trying to relax
He just trying to get back
Some niggas robbed him for a watch now he trying to get back
You ever been so far from home you was dying to get back?
I spent time in the trap
No cosigning no rats
I got commas to stack, told my Momma I rap
f*ck what you profit, you whack
My uncle had that MPV, I would hop in the back
He had bottles of crack
If I got it I’ma give back
Wanted the [?] in blue, the Versace in black
Publishing cheques so when I die there ain’t no stopping this cash
I had my Glock in the cab
Paid attention to them niggas that watch when I pass
Listened and heard their stomach growling, they plotting the crash
I pray they try me, strapped in the store I’ma raise the stash
They snatched [L?] for that beam, we could play laser tag
Nobody helped us, couldn’t give a f*ck if you say you mad
I’m just trying to get back

Down to my lost dollar, trying to figure how I could get back
Plastic on them couches, public housing
No time for no nap
Police in my building, I pray I don’t get found with this Mac
He cheated on his bitch too many times
She’s just trying to get back
On a turnpike with 1,000 grams, just trying to get back
White girl driving, trunk filthy
Not lighting no gas
Come up right in front of niggas faces, they’ll line you for that
I’m just trying find me a bag

Taho had [?], swapped it out, we went got in the ‘lac
They could offer me the rest of my life and I’m not going rat
Had to be in the field to find out there’s shooters that’s not going clap
Like I’m going to pump these pills till me and Bully falling back to back
I ain’t got time for the chat, I’m just trying to get back

I had no hope, against the ropes, young Muhammad of rap
Wonder if jail would be the same if your Honour was black
You niggas lying, down South they define it as cap
They hate to see you take a knee, bitch I’m riding with Cap
He lost like 20 in a dice game he trying to get back
But when it come to women, he Frankie Lymon with that
He got designers on speed dial, he ain’t copping from [sacks?]
Know how to get guap in the trap, he got time to get back
Plug fronted, fiends love that he trying to hide his stash
Tried to Osama the ave’
You know, blow it up
Slide off, go hop in the cab
More profit to get you count them extras that’s not in the bag
Rappers talking all this politics shit, they not in the lab
I done got jumped, [?], and I done been stabbed

I’m just trying to get back
Ride with the 9 on his lap, but he got the swine on his back
His mind on diamonds and plaques
Came from the bottom, went back
Don’t too much shopping, he stack
Rest in peace, Bundles
All through the jungle we’re sliding the stack
They f*ck with me, the hood is stuck to me, no way I could detach
I’m just trying to get back
You ain’t gotta go to work no more, told my Momma “relax”
All these rappers claim they got it, trust they are not in the trap
Just smoking in the front with him, his body got found in the back
He nervous and his GPS ain’t working
He trying to get back

Down to my lost dollar, trying to figure how I could get back
Plastic on them couches, public housing
No time for no nap
Police in my building, I pray I don’t get found with this Mac
He cheated on his bitch too many times
She’s just trying to get back
On a turnpike with 1,000 grams, just trying to get back
White girl driving, trunk filthy
Not lighting no gas
Come up right in front of niggas faces, they’ll line you for that
I’m just trying find me a bag

Burn – Last Great Sea Lyrics

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

We started out late and watched all the others from behind
Through their rise and decline and what bored us in between
We dropped what we had
Or some cases we dragged it along
But in our minds
For us this was the beginning of time
I had one empty hand that never felt true touch on the palm
I left it out uncovered and it got cut open when they found out it’s vulnerability
When I figure out what’s wrong with myself
I can heal the wounds I like to show
You’ve seen them so many times
When I smiled at the wrong times
This sea before me I can pass
I can see past so I go
Writhing in this great sea

Wild to be afloat on the strips ripped from life’s pleasures
The sick treasure of a constant high makes this raft drift
And curve under it’s power
I’m drenched but loving the unknown source of this force
But my course leads straight to it’s mouth
I stand on new ground where nobody knows me
I begin again and it’s new
At first it feels good
And then the sensitivity is gone
I begin to lose faith
And it shows in my walk
I begin to let myself down
This last sea before me
I cannot pass
I can’t see past
I stand awestruck as I’m slowly dragged into it

Convey – The Way Lyrics

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

Topple all the monuments for men who came before me
Silence all who underestimated and ignored me
All of you are only on the earth to tell my story
Yet
Some of you refuse to let me shine
I will send a shockwave and all of you will hear me
I will send an earthquake and all of you will fear me
All of what you thought you knew is now only a theory
And only I can be a guiding light
When the truth is

Slippery
I can help you hold on
When the lies are a symphony
I’m the only one loud enough
Truth is trickery when all’s said and done
Let me show you the way
Let me show you the way
We’ll break every convention and eradicate the process
All who
Dare to question will be branded as dishonest
Silence all dissension and make good on what we promised
Only I can be a guiding light

Babes – Come Back To Me Lyrics

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

[Verse 1]
If you ever ever loved me
A tiny tiny bit
I’m so f*cked up I don’t know anymore
Am I wasting my time on you

[Chorus]
Come back to me
Come back to me
And I’ll change anything you don’t like baby
Come back to me
Come back to me

[Post Chorus]
Will you come back to me?
Will you come back?

[Verse 2
Sinking down to the bottom of the pool

Thinking how you’re so cruel
Lately while my mind drifts away
To things you said we would do
If the dreams we dreamed of were really true
Then we’d have no dreams at all

[Chorus]
So come back to me
Come back to me
[?]
Come back to me
Come back to me

[Post Chorus]
Will you come back to me?
Will you come back?
Come back, come back, come back…

Rhett Akins – Somebody New Lyrics

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

Susie said she’d seen you
And you were doing fine
Then Bill butted in and changed
The subject for the umpteenth time
Julie walked up and said hello
Then pretended she didn’t know
But I could tell when the
Tears welled up in her eyes
Somebody knew but they weren’t saying
All of my friends would just look away and
Change the subject when the subject came to you

They’d act like they knew nothin’
But I knew they were hidin’ somethin’
Somebody knew you’d found somebody new
Johnny said last he’d heard
You were movin’ away
Well I think he knew where to
But he wouldn’t say
Molly walked up said
There’s a new girl in town
Would it be okay if she brought her around
That answered what I’d been wonderin’ about all day

Elvenking – Devil’s Carriage Lyrics

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

On a hill, on the devil?s top
There is a man hiding in the shadows of the night
He?s trying to stop the course of time
The line dividing good from wrong
There is more than meets the eye
In this world full of lies and death
The devil?s carriage is leading all the souls to a place so far away

[Bridge:]
You can?t deny your innocence!
Your life won?t be forever
You should show your nicest part
You are the one who cries

[Bridge 2:]
You will see
What you have never seen
In the afterlife you know you will forever be
At the fair, in the dragon?s lair
You won?t be safe ?cause the red driver?s waiting there
He will be taking you through a nightmare you have never had before

[Bridge:]
You can?t deny your innocence!
Your life won?t be forever
You should show your nicest part

You are the one who cries

[Bridge 2:]
You will see
What you have never seen
In the afterlife you know you will forever be

[Chorus:]
The devil?s carriage ride
It?s a trip to the other side
All it?s said and done
Won?t count a single word
Been taken in the devil?s care
You?ve never been a step downstairs
But you have to know
It?s gonna happen here and now…
It?s your future and watch out
?Cause the devil?s carriage?s running on and on!
At the fair, in the dragon?s lair
You won?t be safe ?cause the red driver?s waiting there
He will be taking you through a nightmare you have never had before
At the sight of this dark fright night
He came and took another soul
Bleding all it?s light
And from the coach the sound of laughter, of laughter

20 things you didn’t know about Daryl Mosley

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

For more than three decades, singer-songwriter Daryl Mosley has applied his warm-as-country-sunshine voice and thoughtful lyrics to a wealth of memorable material. Throughout the 1990s, he toured as lead vocalist with much-celebrated bluegrass group, The New Tradition, then joined the legendary Osborne Brothers in 2001.

    Track Premiere: 24th of August from Dylan McCarthy

    Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

    After fully twenty years as a professional musician, Colorado mandolinist Dylan McCarthy is releasing Lost & Found, his first solo project of instrumental music, on Friday. It’s a 7-track EP, and to mark the date, he has agreed to share a cut from the album with our readers today.

    24th of August is a joyous number in fiddle tune form that he wrote for his beloved, with support in the studio from Eric Wiggs on guitar, Bradley Morse on upright bass, Sam Armstrong-Zickefoose on banjo, Allen Cooke on reso-guitar, and both Natalie Padilla and Justin Hoffenburg on fiddle.

    Dylan tells us that the tune is a special one for him.

    “24th of August was written as a wedding gift for my wonderful wife, Sarah Cole. We got married on August 24th, 2019 and I wrote the tune the week before while we were enjoying relaxing in Maine before the big day. I knew I wanted to write a tune for her, and my goal was to capture something that had elements of being delicate and pretty while still feeling celebratory. One of my big influences for this tune was John Reischman; I wanted to emulate some of the melodic qualities of his writing that I love so much. I think the band did a great job of getting across the feeling of jubilation that I was hoping for when we recorded it.”

    In an interesting twist of fate, McCarthy discovered his love for the mandolin while studying at the Berklee College of Music as an electric bassist. Until that time, he had been focused on classic rock, but since returning to Lyons, CO, his life has been centered around playing and teaching mandolin.

    He currently performs with Thunder and Rain, as well as side projects The Lyons Bluegrass Collective and Follow the Fox.

    24th of August is available now as a single, and the full Lost & Found album releases on May 1, when it will be offered on the popular download and streaming services. Physical CDs can be ordered from Dylan’s web site.

    Bluegrass dream analysis in the time of COVID-19

    Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

    We’ve discussed bluegrass dream analysis in past columns, so if you’ve read any of those, you’re already familiar with the four classic bluegrass dream archetypes:

    The stage anxiety dream in which you’re introduced by the MC, only to look around you and discover that all of your band members are actually badgers.

    The medical dream in which you’re on the operating table and the surgeon is Jimmy Martin, who is singing, “be thankful you’re living, drink up and go home.”

    The flying naked over Bean Blossom dream.

    The equipment anxiety dream, which varies by what instrument you play:

    Dobro players discover their bar is actually a roll of string cheese.

    Guitar players have accidentally swallowed their only Blue Chip pick.

    Banjo players discover they’re actually playing a 7-string banjo, and the additional two strings are tuned to B flat and A.

    Bass players discover their instrument is suddenly twice as big as it used to be and is made of granite. Also the stage is a mile away.

    Fiddle players discover they’re actually dobro players.

    You’ve probably had one or more of these dreams in your life. But among the many things that have changed with the COVID-19 crisis and life under stay-at-home orders, are the kinds of dreams we’re having. Our dream life has been altered drastically along with the rest of our lives. 

    In the first week of lockdown, things were pretty normal, dream-wise. I had the swallowed pick dream (TPR 45, except in my dream it was rhubarb-flavored), some routine travel anxiety dreams, and a dream in which my band consisted of Charo, Andrew Cuomo, and two badgers (I have no idea what that one meant). But as the weeks went on, my dreams started consisting of a lot of cramped spaces filled with people, complicated and crowded travel situations, and a lot of touching my face and having other people touch my face. Far from causing anxiety, these dreams are now a source of comfort, and after extensive discussions with other bluegrass musicians (one Zoom meeting with two people, one of whom could never get the audio to work), I’m finding that others are having very similar dreams.

    In his recent book on dreams, Dreams Are Weird: Riding the Ferris Wheel of the Subconscious, Dr. Herbert Traumabfall stated that, “Dreams often take us to places we are currently unable to go, whether that be a town in Wales overrun by goats, or the department of motor vehicles.” This has never been more true than in the current quarantine environment, and what is beginning to emerge is a whole new set of COVID-19 era bluegrass dream archetypes. Here are the four most common ones, with examples of how they might play out:

    The ridiculously crowded van: you discover that your band has downsized from a bus to a van, and that the band has meanwhile expanded from a 5-piece to a 9-piece band, with one additional roadie who is actually your high school English teacher. You all stop at a crowded Cracker Barrel that is managed by your mother. You sit at the one round table. You touch every corn muffin, then signal to the waiter by putting four fingers in your mouth and whistling. 

    The airport stress dream: you’re flying to a festival gig in California. You’re in a crowded airport and you find that your flight has been cancelled. Now the only way to make it to your show is to fly standby on a flight that leaves in 20 minutes. You run to the gate and are informed that they can’t give you a seat, but that you can sit on the armrest between two passengers, who turn out to be Melvin Goins and Dr. Anthony Fauci. You order a drink and just enjoy the fact that you’re going to arrive on time and that you’re touching your face a lot.

    The festival all-star jam: You’re performing at a festival that is enjoying three times its normal attendance, and everyone is crowded into a barn due to rough weather. Though your set was hours ago, you’ve been asked to hang around until the very end for the “all-star jam.” There are 72 people on the stage, including Curley Seckler, Wilma Lee Cooper, and Sofia Vergara. Right after the eighth verse of Will the Circle Be Unbroken which seems to also be the “1-877-Kars-for-Kids” jingle, you hurl yourself into the audience for some crowd-surfing.

    The very crowded merch table: It’s after your show and the longest line you’ve ever seen is at your table. People are buying CDs, LPs, cassettes, hats, and band logo-emblazoned hand sanitizer bottles, which you seem to have 15 crates of. No one wants your autograph but everyone wants to touch your face. You let them.

    Sweet dreams.

    Barry Abernathy adopts two young children, one with his same birth defect

    Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

    We were all amazed and impressed the first time that we saw Barry Abernathy pick the banjo. Born with only a thumb and stub of an index finger on his left hand, he reached over the top of the banjo neck and played expertly. If you closed your eyes and listened, you would have never known he was born with what some might call a disability.

    Growing up singing in church from shape note hymnals, Abernathy developed a deep affection for music. “I first fell in love with the banjo after hearing Doyle Lawson’s Rock My Soul album. After that, I became enthralled with Earl Scruggs, and the list goes on and on from there. I have had to adapt what I hear other players doing.I definitely don’t have the physical abilities that others have, but I have learned that a melody can be found on an instrument without getting too awful complicated and that has been enough for me.”

    And he has made his way into a career as a professional musician, working with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver before helping form Mountain Heart in 1998.

    Well, again this remarkable man has forged ahead with another leap of faith. This time, the 50 year old and his wife, Beverly, (who already raised two teenage daughters), have adopted siblings, five-year-old Tyler and six-year-old Zoey. What makes it even more incredible is the fact that little Tyler has the same birth defect as Abernathy.

    The Appalachian Road Show banjoist explained. “My daughter, Chassady, worked in a local daycare facility her last couple of years in high school. She met these children (Tyler and Zoey) in June 2019 when the state placed them in a foster home here in our county.” 

    “She said, ‘The little boy, his hand is just like yours,’” the two-time Grammy nominee shared.

     “I am 50 years old, and my wife and I have never even thought about fostering or adopting. However, when these children came into our lives, we both felt God’s calling to try and take them into our family. Tyler has a left hand exactly like mine. I’ve never seen anyone else’s exactly like mine. Also, neither child had even known a dad. We were their ninth placement in 10 months.”

    A week later, the professional musician drove from his home in Georgia to Nashville for a performance. On his way out of town, he felt a strong urge to stop by the day care and visit these special kids. The moment he walked in the door, he spotted Tyler.

    “He pats his little buddy on the head and said, ‘Hey look, that’s my dad!’ He literally thought because our hands were alike, that I was his dad,” Abernathy recalled with a chuckle. 

    Tyler, then 4, ran to Abernathy, jumped into his arms, and hugged him.

    “You’re my dad!” he happily proclaimed.

    “Do you need me to be?” Abernathy pondered.

    “You’re my dad,” Tyler affirmed confidently.

    As Abernathy drove to his gig, he argued with God over such a life altering decision.

    “I said, ‘I’m 50 years old,’” he said. “I was like, I can’t raise another two kids.”

    He called his wife and was surprised to learn she had also visited the children that same afternoon.

    “She said, ‘We’re gonna have to take these kids,’” and by the time he reached Nashville, the couple had decided that they should add two more to their Elijay, GA, home.

    “I said, ‘Lord, if you want us to do this, you need to make a way.”

    Two days later, they learned that the children’s foster family could no longer care for them. The brother and sister were to become wards of the state. 

    “We thought we were done,” Banjo Ab explained. “But in a matter of days, we had two more kids.”

    Tyler and Zoey have been living with the Abernathys ever since. Their adoption was finalized on April 20 through a video conference.

    “We just tried to follow what we thought was right. It was really all God.”

    The family celebrated with specially made t-shirts that read: “Abernathys Completed. Matthew 18:5, 4.20.2020. The scripture verse says it all, “And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. KJV”

    The parenting has begun. “They both came from a home without a lot of teaching. So even though Tyler is interested big time in music, the basics are what seem needful early on. He does sit and beat on his guitar in time with me.”

    Zoey has transformed her attitude. “She knows that she’s secure now,’ her new dad explained. “It’s like when she got adopted, she changed.”

    Abernathy expects some difficulties for the siblings after experiencing such trauma in their young lives, but he hopes his family can give them the kind of warm and loving home they deserve.

     “I don’t see how anything like that could be a coincidence,” he stated. “We just followed our heart on that, we felt like it was God and it was fate that put us together with these children…

    “There’s no doubt it was meant to be. We are so happy they are part of the Abernathy family now.”

     His advice to others with disabilities, “I would tell anyone that has a dream or a goal, to trust God, and abide in the calling that he has given you. Even if you have the cards stacked against you, it’s amazing what can be done when you stay focused and determined. Be the best you that you can be. That will always be sufficient. Be an inspiration to someone else’s life. What greater reward could there be on this earth.”

    And that is just what Barry Abernathy is, an inspiration to us all.

    Honor Your Superhero with Jason Barie

    Posted on April 29, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Do you know what today is? It’s National Superhero Day, when we are encouraged to honor superheroes, both real and fictional. Young and old, we can most of us remember having a favorite comic book hero, be it Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman, or any of the other popular newsprint icons.

    And of course we also have those flesh and blood people who we look up to for their dedication and service to others. They might be parents, or a friend, or a pastor who you see as an example worthy of following, or in the musical world, an artist whose recordings you admire greatly, or who you hope to emulate as a performer.

    It could even be that guy who always stands out by the shopping center waving to everyone who goes by. We each have our own superhero scale, and method of choosing, but here’s a chance for you to salute them online.

    Billy Blue Records has decided to honor National Superheroes Day through their own caped crusader, Jason Barie, aka The Ramblin’ Fiddler. You may recall that in the run up to his 2019 album release of that name, Jason released a very clever video in the comic book mode that portrayed the story of how The Ramblin’ Fiddler came to be.

    Now, Jason and Billy Blue want to recognize your real life superhero. Barie has donated a special, hand-tooled leather guitar strap (valued at $400), which will be given away to one of the heroes suggested on Facebook.

    Here’s how to put your favorite superhero forward to be recognized:

    To enter, like the Billy Blue Records Facebook Page and look for the HONOR YOUR SUPERHERO post. Enter your nomination for the real superhero in your life by commenting with your story in the comments section of the post. Your superhero may be chosen to win this beautiful strap, and albums from all of our Billy Blue Records recording artists.

    Nominations open 4/28/20 and end on 5/15/20. A winner will be announced on Monday, May 18. (Winner will be chosen by a panel from all entries posted. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.)

    Jerry Salley, Creative and A&R Director of Billy Blue Records, says that Barie is the perfect artist to highlight in this way.

    “Jason is a blessing to our label family, to music fans everywhere, and to the music community as a whole.”

    So get on over to Facebook and be part of National Superheroes Day.

    Never Ending Song Of Love from Hugh Moore & Friends

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    If you spend any time online, you will have seen some of these social distancing music videos where performers record a video together from various locations around the country, or around the world. They have popped up in every imaginable style, and at every conceivable level of expertise and quality.

    Because of the relative ease of recording acoustic music, we have seen a great many from bluegrass and old time artists. Some arose as an effort to defeat the boredom of being stuck at home when you are used to touring on the road. And some of them have been inspired by a desire to stay in touch with fans during this enforced break, or even monetize their time while out of work. Others still have been an attempt to figure out the technical issues involved, and just give it a go.

    Here’s one we discovered this week from a different perspective. Banjo player Hugh Moore created just this sort of project, and not for any reason but to give a gift to the bluegrass community he loves, and have a way to pick with friends again while so many of us are locked in at home.

    Hugh has spent many years in our music, and ran the OMS Records label starting in the late 1990s. There he oversaw releases from Bobby Osborne, Kenny Baker, Johnny Russell, Josh Graves, Jesse McReynolds, Pam Gadd and others.

    Recently he called on a number of his pickin’ buddies in the professional bluegrass world, and they all agreed to be involved. Hugh played banjo, Ray Legere was on fiddle, Chris Sharp on guitar, Allyn Love on steel, and Billy Troy on lead vocal. On a lark, Moore also reached out to Bobby Osborne to see if he would sing and play mandolin, along with his son Boj on bass.

    With everyone on board, they set to work on the pop song Never Ending Song Of Love, which was a charting hit for Delaney & Bonnie & Friends in 1971. Since that time, it has been covered by grassers from Earl Scruggs to Country Gazette, Gary Brewer, and several others. Country singers have also embraced the song, with Skeeter Davis and Lynn Anderson covering it, as well as duets by George Jones & Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty.

    Hugh knew that Billy Troy would do a great job singing it, and indeed he did. Billy has a solid bluegrass pedigree as the son of Uncle Josh Graves of Flatt & Scruggs fame, though he has worked in the pop music world as well during his career. Back in the grass now with 40 Horse Mule, we expect to hear more music from him soon.

    Once everyone had recorded their individual parts, Hugh mixed the audio parts, and he and his wife Linda edited the videos.

    Check out the final product they created, given as a love offering to bluegrass lovers wherever they may be. See how well they work in both a bluegrass and a country vibe in this arrangement.

    This take on Never Ending Song Of Love isn’t being offered for sale, though it is available to radio programmers at AirPlay Direct.

    Well done and thanks, Hugh, and all involved in this video!

    Heart Lake – Ben Krakauer

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Banjoist Ben Krakauer’s first solo album, Heart Lake, is the culmination of a considerable number of kudos he accumulated early on. A professional touring musician since his late teens, he’s adept at bluegrass, jazz, and new acoustic music to great degrees, evidenced by the PhD he holds in ethnomusiciology.  In addition to his teaching at the university level, he’s the holder of several awards won at MerleFest, Rocky Grass, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, all in addition to his stint as a sideman for David Grisman, and a former founder of the band Old School Freight.

    Although Krakauer’s instrument of choice is the banjo, his ventures into both traditional and contemporary realms results in a daringly diverse set of songs. He cites the influence of Earl Scruggs and the input of Paul Kowert and Joe K. Walsh on several of the selections, which helps to account for a continuing shift in tone and texture. Nevertheless, Krakauer maintains a clear vision throughout, a studious approach that reflects an obvious zeal for his instrument. He approaches the material with the craft and creativity of a master musician, while providing added insight into each offering through the liner notes that detail how the songs were originally conceived and created.

    Still, for all the talk about tapestries and techniques, it’s also apparent that Krakauer and his crew — Nick Falt (drums), Duncan Wickel (fiddle and cello) and Dan Klingsberg (bass) — were essentially involved as well. The meticulous performances and steady resolve that shine through such selections as the syncopated title tune, the sprightly pacing of Poodles, the easy embrace of Hazel Ave, the busy Groundhog Speed, and the sheer revelry of Weller, reflect a dedication to delivery that realizes its scholarly intent. The percussive element aside, each of these instrumentals adhere to a basic stringband regimen, but even so the musicians’ ability to vary that template and add other elements to the mix provides an intriguing listening experience overall. It’s a distinctive genre-jumping sound, simple but rarely straight-forward, one that allows each of the players to contribute in subtle yet suggestive ways. Krakauer may have his name on the masthead, but the airy arrangements allow for ample input, whether focused on a single pluck or the entire ensemble.

    Granted, this kind of music requires one to lean in and listen in order to fully absorb all it has to offer. Subtlety and complexity coexist within the framework of each of these entries, offering a new musical experience for your ears. Kudos to Krakauer for providing such an intriguing set of songs, one that broadens the bluegrass boundaries while also piercing further parameters in the process.

    Rebel Records delivers 10 deep catalog recordings to global radio 

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Charlottesville, VA based Rebel Records has linked up with AirPlay Direct, the premiere digital delivery/distribution provider of bluegrass music for worldwide radio. Their agreement will see several back-catalog titles released during the next year.

    Initially, ten ‘deep catalogue’ recordings have been made available. 

    Mark Freeman, the President of Rebel Records, elaborates …. 

    “Here at Rebel Records we are excited to be collaborating with AirPlay Direct to not only share new music from Rebel Records, but also to get some of our most beloved titles from our deep catalog out to global radio! To kick off our partnership, we are presenting ten essential albums and artists that exemplify Rebel Records.

    One cannot tell the story of Rebel Records without telling the story of Ralph Stanley. My Life and Legacy is an 18-song collection featuring many of Dr. Stanley’s most beloved recordings. 

    The Country Gentlemen and Rebel Records came of age together, and 25 Years is a ‘best of’ collection that commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Country Gentlemen’s first show. 

    John Duffey, a founding member of the Country Gentlemen, would later head up another integral DC area bluegrass band, The Seldom Scene. The Best of the Seldom Scene, was the first CD Rebel issued in the mid-1980s. Tony Rice is widely considered the greatest bluegrass guitarist of all time and his album Guitar made pickers everywhere sit up and take notice. 

    Larry Sparks & The Lonesome Ramblers have recorded over 30 albums with Rebel, and Classic Bluegrass is a compilation of some of his most well-known titles. At age 17, Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs recorded Second Generation which was released in 1971, and to this day remains one of Rebel’s most consistently selling albums. Del McCoury’s Classic Bluegrass features the best material from the three albums he recorded for Rebel fronting his first band, The Dixie Pals.

    J.D. Crowe is recognized as one of the finest banjo players and band leaders in bluegrass, and Blackjack is one of the most memorable and instrumentally tight bluegrass recordings of its time. Nearly a decade after signing with Rebel, the Lonesome River Band hit its peak when it recorded Carrying The Tradition, which won the coveted IBMA Album of the Year Award in 1992. Rounding out this batch of essential Rebel recordings is another IBMA Album of the Year winner, It’s a Long, Long Road by supergroup Blue Highway.”

    Recently, Freeman was named AirPlay Direct’s “Iconic Innovator” for 2020.

    Of that award Lynda Weingartz, CEO, AirPlay Direct, said…..

    “Mark’s keen eye for talent, and unique approach to business has and continues to help competently shape and define the bluegrass genre of today. His skill and ability in navigating through disruptive changes in the industry is a true testament, and a commendable example of how to not only survive, but how to thrive in the digital-era. As President of Rebel Records, Mark’s many notable successes and achievements over the years puts him in a class reserved for only the very best in our industry. AirPlay Direct is pleased and proud to honor Mark Freeman with our ‘Iconic Innovator’ Award for 2020.”

    Mark Freeman responded ….  

    “What an honor to be named the 2020 AirPlay Direct ‘Iconic Innovator’. When I started working alongside my father, David Freeman, in 1998, we could not have imagined what the music industry would be like today. Thankfully, we at Rebel have been able to keep pace with the changes in part thanks to the good and important work of AirPlay Direct.”

    AirPlay Direct is a digital delivery system developed for artists, radio programmers, and music industry professionals. It allows artists and labels to send secure broadcast-quality music and digital press kits to radio stations, booking agents, promoters, and music supervisors worldwide.

    Darren Beachley joins Linda Lay and Springfield Exit

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Well… it sure is nice to be writing about live bluegrass music again!

    A familiar face is returning to the bluegrass world. Long time grasser, Darren Beachley, is set to begin performing with Linda Lay & Springfield Exit as soon as the states reopen following COVID19 restrictions. He will play reso-guitar, and some lap steel and guitar, plus singing with Linda and David Lay, two of the finest bluegrass vocalists working today.

    Darren says that he has been away from the music too long, after having toured with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver for four years before forming his own group, Darren Beachley & The Legends of the Potomac. Then in 2011, his career in medical administration took precedence over touring, and he stepped aside.

    But now, even though his work as Environmental Services Director for Crothall Healthcare at INOVA Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg, VA has been keeping him  extremely busy, Beachley just missed the music too much to stay away. Back before everything shut down, he did a show with Springfield Exit, and said “BOOM… there it was.”

    And he is glad to return to his first bluegrass love, the reso-guitar.

    “I’m pretty excited about playing Dobro again. I really had stopped playing back in 2004 when I focused on singing and playing guitar, but the Dobro is so vocal and phrases so well. Most don’t realize it that I was a Dobro player with Bill Harrell and it actually was my primary instrument growing up, until one day I found my voice, and someone shoved a guitar in my hands.”

    Here’s a live video of Darren with Springfield Exit back in January on an Osborne Brothers classic.

    So there’s one more reason to look forward to live music returning in the near future.

    StowTown purchases Vine Records as a bluegrass imprint

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    StowTown Records in Johnson City, TN, a Gospel music record company launched in 2011, has announced the acquisition of Vine Records, which they will brand as their bluegrass label.

    When StowTown was founded, co-owner Wayne Haun focused his energy on the new label, and his own Vine Records essentially became inactive. But as it was already recognized for high level production and excellence in recording, he and his partner Ernie Haase figured why not revive the brand as a bluegrass offshoot.

    Wayne says to expect the same high standards with the newly repurposed Vine Records.

    “Over the years, Vine Records has had a reputation for quality material coupled with excellent production. While this is a new focus for us, we promise to continue the process of presenting the absolute best.”

    The first artist they have signed is Lizzy Long, whose second solo effort, Dreaming Again, is set for a May 1 release. A debut single, Keep Yourself Alive, was shipped to radio earlier this month. It’s a snappy bluegrass number you should be hearing soon over the air.

    Lizzy had worked previously with StowTown Records as a part of the Little Roy & Lizzy Show, and say she feels at home working with them.

    “Vine Records is family. Some of the best people in the business. They let you express yourself. They don’t pigeon hole ya, they let ya do you.”

    Haun says that he is excited to share her new music next week.

    “Lizzy has certainly established herself as a fantastic vocalist and solid songwriter with this new recording. Only Lizzy could take her originals, sprinkle in a little influence of pop and broadway, and create such a commercial sound that is native to her roots.”

    We certainly welcome the entry of Vine Records into the bluegrass market, and look forward not only to Long’s upcoming project, but other future releases from the label as well.

    Over on the Other Shore – Destination Bluegrass Band

    Posted on April 28, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Anyone who’s made the rounds of the Virginia/North Carolina fiddler’s convention circuit in the past few years has probably seen the Destination Bluegrass Band at least once. The group, based out of central North Carolina, is a frequent flyer – and winner – at festival competitions, and bluegrass fans throughout that region have come to enjoy their traditional stylings. The group has recently released a new Gospel album, Over on the Other Shore, filled with a collection of well-written band originals, as well as a few old standards and hymns.

    The title cut is also the album’s first single. Written by the band’s fiddle player, Randy Willard, it’s a thoughtful song about what heaven will be like. An upbeat, foot-tapper of a number, it is guided by Brad Johnson’s banjo. It was a good choice for a lead single, with earnest lead vocals and an enjoyable feel. Another strong song on the album is Time’s Coming Soon, although it has a very different sound, with a darker, brooding vibe and tight harmonies. The song finds the narrator asking for help and forgiveness from his sins.

    The Maker’s Mark is a nice, bright, contemporary-sounding song. The title plays on the popular bourbon brand, contrasting its former prominence in the narrator’s life with a new lease on life brought about by Jesus. It’s cleverly written and full of conviction. Don’t Cry for Me is a bit of a tearjerker with its contemplation of a father’s passing, though its overall message is positive. “Don’t cry for me, son,” the father says, “my time has finally come. No pain, no rain, and it’s perfect all the time.” I’ve Been Blessed is one of the more upbeat songs on the album, opening with driving banjo. The singer reflects on both the various troubles and blessings in his life, asking God for continued help. 

    The album also includes fine versions of a few familiar old numbers. How Great Thou Art is always a powerful hymn. Here, it’s gentle and soft, with a peaceful melody led by the mandolin. Drifting Too Far from the Shore has a good traditional feel, as does Everybody Will Be Happy Over There. These two songs have very different sounds but are some of the album’s strongest.

    Destination Bluegrass Band plays host to a group of talented musicians. In addition to Johnson and Willard, the band includes guitarist Keith Souther, mandolin player Boyd Hulin, and bass player Ronnie Edwards. Several group members also share lead and harmony singing duty.

    Overall, Destination Bluegrass Band has provided listeners with a solid traditional bluegrass Gospel album. With a nice mixture of standards and originals, most folks should find something to enjoy here.

    For more information on the band, visit their website. Their new album can be ordered through the group’s Facebook page.

    Track Premiere: Blackbird Says To The Crow from Jake Blount

    Posted on April 27, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Rhode Island banjo player Jake Blount has something to say with his upcoming album, Spider Tales, coming from Free Dirt Records on May 29.

    It’s part old time music exposition, and partly a result of his research into the contributions of black and indigenous musicians to the Appalachian folk tradition. Blount has a B.A. in Ethnomusicology from Hamilton College, and has dedicated his academic energies as well as his musical ones to bringing this part of the story to the fore.

    Accomplished on both banjo and fiddle, Jake demonstrated his bona fides with a win last year at Clifftop playing a trio of tunes from black musicians on banjo.

    In advance of the album, we are happy to premiere this track, Blackbird Says To The Crow, a fine old time duet between Jake on banjo with Tatiana Hargreaves on fiddle, and Nic Gareiss on foot percussion.

    Jake shared a few words about the tune…

    “Blackbird Says to the Crow comes from Cuje Bertram, a black fiddler from Fentress County, Tennessee. Cuje had a smooth bow arm and no fear of left-hand ornamentation; his tunes are, for the most part, sprightly and joyful. Tatiana and I have been playing this tune on banjo and fiddle for a couple years. The set of home recordings we learned it from also features a bones player, so I invited Nic to make it into a trio piece with us. Relearning the role of percussion in a genre that has largely abandoned it has been a rewarding process for me. There’s no better way to explore that potential than as a trio of fiddle, banjo and feet.”

    Pre-orders for Spider Tales, which also features appearances by Rachel Eddy and Haselden Ciaccio, are available now online.

    John Murrell video from Track 145

    Posted on April 27, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Track 145 has released another music video from their debut album, Will I Ever Know. It’s for a song called John Murrell, jointly co-written by the band, about the notorious 19th century outlaw, told from the perspective of the man who made his coffin.

    This young band from Pikeville, TN has moved very quickly from a regional success story to the national market, based on the strength of the material on the album, and the singing of guitarist, Audrey Smith. Only 19 years of age, she is joined by her younger brother, 16 year old Jack, on mandolin, and 19 year old Justin Alexander on banjo, along with Colin Mabry on lead guitar, Nina Shoup on vocals, and Eddy Griffin on bass.

    The real life John Murrell was among the most rampant criminals of his day, having gone from stealing horses as a teenager, to a practice of stealing slaves which was especially cruel. He, or one of the many members of his gang, would kidnap African slaves, promising them freedom if they cooperated, and then quickly reselling them to the highest bidder. Contemporary newspaper records suggested that Murrell regularly traveled with as many as 200-300 men in his company. He died of tuberculosis at 38 years of age shortly after being released from prison.

    Track 145’s John Murrell video is cleverly done, shot at night around an open fire, giving the haunting story an eerie feel.

    John Murrell and the Will I Ever Know album are available wherever you stream or download music online, and to radio programmers via AirPlay Direct.

    Jack Tottle shares some lyrics for our time

    Posted on April 26, 2020 by Azlyrics

    The following comes to us from Jack Tottle, Professor Emeritus, and founder of the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass, Old Time and Country Music Program. Although retired for several years, Jack continues his work to preserve the memories of bluegrass and old time country music’s fascinating history and heritage.

    Throughout American history disasters of one kind or another have inspired numerous songs. Among them are Vernon Dalhart’s Wreck of the Old 97, the Carter Family’s Cyclone of Ryecove, Ernest V. ‘Pop’ Stoneman’s Sinking of the Titanic, and the Stanley Brothers’ The Flood (aka The Flood of ’57). It has been proposed that no songs will be written about our current situation because of the difficulty of finding rhymes for the word “virus.”

    However, as we well know, southern musical ingenuity is full of surprises, as indicated below:

    The following was recently found carved into the side of an ancient chestnut barn in the hills of Scott County, Virginia. In a note scrawled on a groundhog hide tacked to adjacent boards, the anonymous composer indicates that he was inspired by spiritual undercurrents which he attributes to the original Odyssey of Homer, and also the subsequent Odyssey of Homer and Jethro.

    An empty jug of the type once favored by moonshiners lies close at hand. The wind plays among the gnarled branches of old apple trees beside a deserted tumble-down cabin nearby . . .

    Song For Uncertain Times

    Where are those dear folks who did sire us?
    Did they leave us no notes on papyrus
    On what the world would require us
    To do, in combatting this virus?

    Please let us work and don’t fire us,
    Rather give us safe space and inspire us
    To earn lots of dough, as onward we go,
    Like Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.*

    * Possible substitute for last line: “Like Molly and Billy Ray Cyrus.”

    The substitute rhymes slightly better, but may not be quite as meaningful to certain bluegrass folks. Try it both ways and decide which you prefer.

    NOTE: Tim Stafford of Blue Highway suggests another alternate last line which — with the inclusion of the Kentucky Colonels’ banjo player — both rhymes AND has a bluegrass connection.

    “Like the Billy Rays: Lathum and Cyrus.”

    Tim initially thought this alternate line was more Homeric. Then he changed his mind and decided it was more Jethroic.

    Virtual tours offered from Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame

    Posted on April 26, 2020 by Azlyrics

    The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Owensboro, KY, the official repository of the history of our music, is among the many venues and destinations forced to close during the COVID19 shutdown. With potential visitors forced to stay away for the time being, Executive Director Chris Joslin and his staff have been banging their heads together looking for ways to invite people in to see all that is in store while the doors have to remain shut.

    What they’ve come up with is a series of virtual online tours, where Chris personally escorts you through the Museum’s many exhibits, explaining their significance to the development of bluegrass music, and the many personalities who shaped its evolution.

    A total of seven videos have been prepared, each between five and ten minutes in length, where Joslin presents different parts of their facility, and the aspects of the exhibits therein. All are posted on the Hall of Fame web site, and you could easily go through them all in about an hour’s time.

    Here’s a look at the first video, where Chris talks about the early influences that came together into bluegrass with Bill Monroe, and plays a few tunes to demonstrate the sound.

    You can watch them all online, and the Hall of Fame staff say that they will leave them up after reopening to serve as a preview for people who can’t make it to Owensboro to see it all in person.

    Leaving On Her Mind video from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

    Posted on April 26, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Billy Blue Records has released a new single, with a lyric music video, from their current album for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Live In Prague.

    This one features the newest member of Quicksilver, Jerry Cole, who many bluegrass fans will remember from his three years on bass with Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. Jerry made his bluegrass touring debut as a member of Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad, but has been singing all his life. His dad was a longtime member of The Betterway Quartet, so old time singing and Gospel music were a part of his life from the start.

    From the earliest days of Quicksilver, Doyle has had a habit of finding the very best singers among the up-and-comers in bluegrass. The list is a long one, including such current pros as Lou Reid, Russell Moore, Steve Gulley, and Jaimie Dailey.

    Sounds like Jerry is well on his way to that same status on this Charley Pride classic from the late ’60s, Leaving On Her Mind.

    Leaving On Her Mind, and the entire Live In Prague album, is available wherever you stream or download music online, and on CD directly from Billy Blue or Doyle’s web site.

    Cold Wind – new Mile Twelve track with Billy Strings

    Posted on April 25, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Mile Twelve is showing the can do attitude that has marked their rapid rise in the bluegrass world in the face of the shutdown early this year. With much of their touring cancelled for the next few months, they remain optimistic for the future, and are spending the down time recording a new EP.

    Titled Roll The Tapes All Night Long, it will feature six new covers they have chosen from their own list of faves, set to release on May 29.

    Fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes says that it was inspired by the band’s dedication to doing it their own way.

    “Mile Twelve has always been a DIY entity. We jokingly refer to ourselves as bluegrass punks, because while many of our peers have signed to labels, we’ve remained independent. This means that when we get inspired, we have the ability to record and release songs quickly. We had some free time this winter so we thought, why not do something a little different? Let’s record a bunch of deep catalogue cover songs we’ve been digging, and get some of our favorite artists out there to be a part of it. The final product is totally cooking, and we can’t wait for our fans to get a taste.” 

    A first soupçon is available today, with a debut single from the EP, a remake of a Joe Val classic, Cold Wind, recorded with alt-grass superstar, Billy Strings.

    Bronwyn says that the band loves this song, and were psyched to record with Billy.

    “Billy is one of our favorite young musicians in the scene right now. We love how he combines traditional bluegrass with forays into the jam band and songwriting worlds, and we were stoked he was down to record this song with us. And without Yankee bluegrass pioneers like Joe Val, there would have been no audience for Mile Twelve when we were starting out, so it was really important to us to record one of his tunes on there.” 

    They laid down a rapid take, literally at ramming speed, which Keith-Hynes says had them all stretched to their limits.

    “It just kept getting faster in the studio… at one point Billy said, ‘yeah I can’t actually play this fast, but it’s fun to try,’ and he was doing better than I was!”

    In addition to Bronwyn on fiddle and Billy on lead guitar, the track features Mile Twelvers Evan Murphy on guitar, David Benedict on mandolin, BB Bowness on banjo, and Nate Sabat on bass. Evan and Billy trade off the lead vocals.

    Cold Wind is available now as a single wherever you stream or download music online.

    Ask Sonny Anything… Ever try the melodic style?

    Posted on April 25, 2020 by Azlyrics

    Ask Sonny Anything is a recurring feature where our readers pose questions to the great Sonny Osborne, one half of the iconic Osborne Brothers who redefined bluegrass music in the 1960s, and noted banjo maven and collector of fine prewar instruments. Everyone is encouraged to pose queries of your own each week in the comments, about his history in the music, his wealth of banjo knowledge, or regarding any life advice you might be needing.

    Hey Sonny,
    Legend has it that putting and keeping a rattlesnake rattle in your instrument improves the sound quality and it brings good luck. Did anyone in your band ever have a rattler rattle in their instrument?

    Curious in the mountains!

    CiTM….Yes I’ve been aware of fiddle players especially getting rattle snake rattles and putting them inside their fiddles. I have never been aware of it having any affect on the volume, tone, sustain, as a matter I’ve never been aware of the rattles doing anything to a fiddle. Curly Ray Cline insisted that the rattles would vibrate inside the fiddle while he was playing but although I tried, I never heard a thing. I believe it to be a hoax and need it proven to me that it means nothing but one less rattle snake…..UGH! I’m scared of snakes! Show me a snake and even with my bad wheels I bet I could break Jessie Owens records!

    Sonny,

    Not much has been said here about Bobby’s iconic hat. Certainly in all your travels there must be a colorful or funny story you could share with us about that iconic component of Osborne Brothers visual kit.

    Jen L.

    Jen thank you for your time during these dark Chinese days. Bobby’s hat, mandolin, and boots. Word was “Do not touch” and we never did. He also carried a leather bag which was off limits. We never knew what was in it, and so far as I knew up until the time that I retired, no one ever asked.

    I carried a green bag with me at all times but every band member knew exactly what was in that bag. And, I might add, saw to it that it was protected at all times. I don’t know about Bobby’s hat and boots after my retirement, but from the time he first started wearing those two things and the Cazal Glasses, stay away. What can I say, he could afford them, he liked them and they made him feel better, more comfortable. I know they were each very expensive.

    The hat and boots were made for him by a man in Houston, and I believe the glasses were from Germany. I told everyone including Little Roy Lewis, who used to come on stage during our show and do some funny antics, those items were off limits. Lincolnton, Georgia festival. We’re half way through our performance and Roy wanders out and the first thing he did was take Bobby’s hat off. I told Roy that was not a very smart thing to do, but he just did more and everything went down hill and sideways after that. Funny for a few moments, not funny after those few moments. I was afraid Bobby would get really UPSET, and the old Marine war boy would show up….I had seen that before…but he kept cool, thankfully. I know a million funny stories, but that was not one of them.

    I enjoy your column and have always enjoyed your banjo picking. Your story about Bill Monroe breaking his mandolin by shutting the case with a set of stings under the peghead and breaking it got me to thinking. Banjos have a lot of moving parts and are real easy to mess up. Have you ever been out on the road and messed up your banjo so bad that you had to borrow another one? Did you do your own banjo adjustments or did you have someone you trusted to do it for you? Any tips for us on adjusting your banjo just right?

    Our paths have crossed twice. The first time was in the mid 1960s and I was a snot nosed kid in the audience when you played at the city park in Sesser, Illinois. I soaked up every note you played and wanted to do that, but I had a big brother who went home and got a banjo after that and learned, so I never got the opportunity to be the banjo player. I compensated by playing everything else. When I was 58 years old, I finally got a banjo and learned to play it. So, you inspired me to play, but it was 50 years before I actually did it.

    The second time was a bit embarrassing. At the Wichita Winter Bluegrass Festival, my band, The Home Rangers, was playing just before the Osborne Brothers in the 9:00 segment before you boys closed the show. Orin Friesen, the famous Wichita DJ, was in our band and should have known better and stopped us. Our second to last song was Once More, one of our favorite Osborne Brothers songs. As did the big finish, we saw none other than the Osborne Brothers staring at us from the wings. Oops. Sorry about that.

    I hope this pandemic is over soon. My wife put me in quarantine and is only feeding me bologna and cheese. When I asked her why I was only getting bologna and cheese to eat, she told me that was the only thing that would fit under the door.

    Ranger Stan

    Ranger Stan. Thank you for jumping right on in here! Glad to hear from you. Yes, I’ve been in situations before but I don’t ever remember borrowing someone’s banjo. In Germany, we did a video and it shows me playing what looks to be a new Gibson Granada. But I didn’t have it on the entire trip. The dates were with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. Blake Williams was playing the banjo with Bill at the time and he had a new Granada, makes sense that I used his banjo, but I’m sorry, I just don’t remember doing that.

    Adjusting a banjo is like a box of chocolates, as Forrest Gump would say. When you open the case you don’t have a clue as to what you’re going to get that day. It’s much better now with the plastic head but back in the day, before plastic, skin heads were an everyday job. The weather had a lot to do with how a banjo reacted. I’m talking about being on the road….if you are a studio, or stay at home type player, it would have been much easier, but I was on the road most of me career.

    Orin Freisen…a name from the past. Really nice guy He owned the record playing part of Wichita. Know what, knowing Orin a little bit, he would have seen no harm in doing one of the following band’s song. At the time we might have been upset but here we are talking about it calmly. So no harm. However, once in Alabama a band of motorcyclists were on before we were to close the show and guess what! They did 9 of our songs and thought it was funny. It was not.

    Thick sliced Bar S Bologna is as good as the most expensive steak one can have, if that’s all you can get. I’ve been there too, not as much since Rocky Top, but I haven’t forgotten. Nope, not for a moment. “The price you pay for being a hillbilly!” But LORD, THANK YOU, what a beautiful ride it was!!!!
    s

    Hey Sonny,

    Who’s the first person you ever saw use the melodic style (Keith style) of banjo playing (besides Bill Keith)? And also, have you ever tried playing that style yourself?

    Ned L.
    Nashville, TN.

    Ned. NED. The only other NED that I know happens to be one of, if not THE most talented musicians I’ve ever been around!!!

    I was so disinterested after hearing Bill Keith for the first time, I don’t remember. It might have been Benny Birchfield who tried to show it to me and tell me that it was rather easy but you must have a quick left hand. Still, I was not interested at all because I always thought if you were going to play fiddle tunes, go get you a fiddle. And, I had heard Don Reno play that kind of thing using a flat pick.

    In a recording session once upon a time, Grady Martin suggested that I play a Bobby Thompson break in a song we were doing, Cut The Cornbread. I told him I didn’t like nor play that junky shit. He laughed and said something like “Could it be because you can’t?” So at the end of the tune I did an ending using that style, melodic I guess. I told Grady that I would dedicate that to him and he would never hear me play that style again, and may it rest in peace. And I never did! But, in my later years I’ve come to respect those who choose to play that style, although it’s not for me.

    Bill Evans and I did a banjo camp for about 11 years here in Nashville and on Saturday night we had the teaching staff do a free for all. Tony Trischka, Alan Munde, Bill Evans, Kristin Benson, Jim Mills, Kenny Ingram, JD Crowe, the aforementioned Ned Luberecki (Rhymes with ‘Break Necki’) Jens Kruger, Alison Brown, (I’m sure I have left someone out), and each of these greatest players on the planet would see who knew the most notes and could incorporate them into the pretense of a tune. And what was billed as a traditional banjo camp, turned into the staff free for all, premium edition! The crowd LOVED it! Could I have played it? I guess we’ll never know. I think if I had wanted to, I probably could have.

    I saw Alan Shelton try to play Black Berry Blossom on the Opry with Jim and Jesse, and it was a total train wreck. As he came off the stage I asked him why he attempted to do that, he said he wanted to do anything the crowd wanted to hear. I suspected Jim or Jesse, one or both, requested that he should do that. I guess they didn’t realize, nor care that they were messing with one of the best innovative genius banjo players in history. I saw and heard the same thing, with the same band, at the same venue, happen with a young Bobby Thompson, but he came out on the other side smelling like a rose who later was probably the guy who did most for that style, but Béla Fleck and Jens Kruger and Ned and Bill and Alan and Tony and Alison Brown and……… s

    If you have something you would like to ask Sonny, be sure to post it in the comments below, or send it to us directly.
