Country Music Awards
Tonight, the annual country music awards are being held for the 45th year. The music awards are hosted by the music television channel CMT, and are commonly known as the Academy of Country Music Awards and not to be confused with the Country Music Association Awards (CMAs). This year, country legend Reba McEntire is hosting the awards ceremony. The best of the best in country music will be filling the room and awards will be given out to amazingly talented country music singers.
The Academy of Country Music was founded in Los Angeles, California forty six years ago. The academy was founded to promote country music in the western United States, because it was mostly popular in the Midwest. The host, Reba McEntire, has hosted the awards ceremony more times than anyone else has. This will be her twelfth time hosting the star studded night. If you love country music, then you know Reba. She is a legend in the industry and has been recording and producing music since 1975. She has also won the most Academy of Country Music Awards for best female vocalist topping the charts with 7 awards.
There are a lot of awards to be given out at this ceremony. Country music fans are also part of the process because they can vote for their favorite music videos. The genre of music has become very popular over the years because of new influences like country pop stars, online music channels, and Internet radio channels that play top Country Hits. A lot of country music is also played on pop stations. Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum are two examples of cross over country acts. Country music did not used to get the same hype as pop music, but times have certainly changed and country awards shows and music is listened to by millions across the world.
There are many different awards given out throughout the night. The two most coveted and prestigious awards are the artist of the decade and entertainer of the year awards. George Strait won the artist of the decade award for the 2000s. Last year, Carrie Underwood was awarded entertainer of the year. Other awards that are handed out are: top male and female vocalist, song of the year, album of the year, top vocal group and duo, top new artist and group, vocal event of the year, video of the year, and the triple crown award.

Excerpt: The UK Miners’ Strike was a major industrial action affecting the British coal industry. It was a defining moment in British industrial relations, and its defeat significantly weakened the British trades union movement. It was also seen as a major political and ideological victory for Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative Party. The strike became a symbolic struggle, since the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) was if not the strongest then one of the strongest in the country, viewed by many, including Conservatives in power, as having brought down the Heath government in its 1974 strike. The strike ended with the miners’ defeat and the Thatcher government able to consolidate its free market programme. The political power of the NUM was broken permanently. The dispute exposed deep divisions in British society and caused considerable bitterness, especially in Northern England and in South Wales. Ten deaths resulted from events around the strike: six pickets, three teenagers searching for coal, and a taxi driver taking a non-striking miner to work. Coal was a nationalised industry managed by the N… More: |

A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers $20.34 Will Friedwald’s illuminating, opinionated essays—provocative, funny, and personal—on the lives and careers of more than three hundred singers anatomize the work of the most important jazz and popular performers of the twentieth century. From giants like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland to lesser-known artists like Jeri Southern and Joe Mooney, they have created a body of work that continues to please and inspire. Here is the most extensive biographical and critical survey of these singers ever written, as well as an essential guide to the Great American Songbook and those who shaped the way it has been sung. The music crosses from jazz to pop and back again, from the songs of Irving Berlin and W. C. Handy through Stephen Sondheim and beyond, bringing together straightforward jazz and pop singers (Billie Holiday, Perry Como); hybrid artists who moved among genres and combined them (Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé); the leading men and women of Broadway and Hollywood (Ethel Merman, Al Jolson); yesterday’s vaudeville and radio stars (Sophie Tucker, Eddie Cantor); and today’s cabaret artists and hit-makers (Diana Krall, Michael Bublé). Friedwald has also written extended pieces on the most representative artists of five significant genres that lie outside the songbook: Bessie Smith (blues), Mahalia Jackson (gospel), Hank Williams (country and western), Elvis Presley (rock ’n’ roll), and Bob Dylan (folk-rock). Friedwald reconsiders the personal stories and professional successes and failures of all these artists, their songs, and their performances, appraising both the singers and their music by balancing his opinions with those of fellow musicians, listeners, and critics.  This magisterial reference book—ten years in the making—will delight and inform anyone with a passion for the iconic music of America, which continues to resonate |

A Good-Natured Riot: The Birth of the Grand Ole Opry $3.35 The Story of the Opry’s Humble Beginnings.Winner of a Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award Winner of The ASCAP-Deems Taylor AwardVanderbilt University Press and the Country Music Foundation Press are Proud to Bring You the Story of the Opry’s Humble Beginnings.On November 28, 1925, a white-bearded man sat before one of Nashville radio station WSM’s newfangled carbon microphones to play a few old-time fiddle tunes. Uncle Jimmy Thompson played on the air for an hour that night, and throughout the region listeners at their old crystal sets suddenly perked up. Back in Nashville the response at the offices of National Life Insurance Company, which owned radio station WSM (“We Shield Millions”), was dramatic; phone calls and telegrams poured into the station, many of them making special requests. It was not long before station manager George D. Hay was besieged by pickers and fiddlers of every variety, as well as hoedown bands, singers, and comedians — all wanting their shot at the Saturday night airwaves. “We soon had a good-natured riot on our hands,” Hay later recalled. And, thus, the Opry was born.Or so the story goes. In truth, the birth of the Opry was a far more complicated event than even Hay, “the solemn old Judge,” remembered. The veteran performers of that era are all gone now, but since the 1970s pioneering country music historian Charles K. Wolfe has spent countless hours recording the oral history of the principals and their families and mining archival materials from the Country Music Foundation and elsewhere to understand just what those early days were like. The story that he has reconstructed is fascinating. Both a detailed history and a group biography of the Opry’s early years, A Good-Natured Riot provides the first comprehensive and thoroughly researched account of the personalities, the music, and the social and cultural conditions that were such fertile ground for the growth of a radio show that was to become |

Single Phonograph Record Charts Peak Position, 20 the Countdown Magazine. Excerpt: American Top 40 (commonly abbreviated to AT40) is an internationally-syndicated, independent radio program created by Casey Kasem, Don Bustany, Tom Rounds and Ron Jacobs. Originally a production of Watermark Inc. (later a division of ABC Radio, now Citadel Media), it is now distributed by Premiere Radio Networks in the United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, China, India, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and several other territories worldwide. Co-creator Casey Kasem hosted the original AT40 from its inauguration on July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988, and returned to host the revived version from March 28, 1998 to January 3, 2004. (For much of the interim, he hosted the competing Casey’s Top 40.) Its other two regular hosts have been Shadoe Stevens (1988-1995) and current host Ryan Seacrest (since 2004). As of March 2009, AT40 with Seacrest airs in two different formats – one for Contemporary Hit Radio and one for Hot Adult Contemporary stations – with no on-air differentiation other than the charts themselves. Kasem is still heard in two weekly replays of vintage shows from the ’70s and ’80s, respectively. As its title implies, AT40 counts down the forty most popular songs in the United States of America, from #40 to #1. The show used Billboard charts in its early years, then switched to those from Radio and Records upon its late 1990s return. The charts currently are based on data from Mediabase, and published in the Sunday Edition of the USA Today. American Top 40 began on … More: |

American Routes: Songs and Stories from the Road $22.95 In his weekly radio program heard on NPR, folklorist Spitzer leads listeners on a lively journey through American music and the evolution of its many styles from A (avant-garde) to Z (zydeco). Even in divisive times, there’s one thing about America everyone loves: its music. Produced in New Orleans, American Routes embraces and explores all kinds of American music: blues and jazz, gospel and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin, roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. Each week, program host and creator Nick Spitzer talks with well-known artists, lesser-known studio musicians, and little-known buskers. Songs, stories, interviews, and conversations reveal the origins of American music, musicians, and cultures (the roots) and the many directions they have taken over time (the routes). The show pays tribute to historic heroes, celebrates great musicians of today, and hits the road, traveling from street parades to juke joints, bayous to beltways. |

Band (Ddr) $19.99 Kapitel: Silly, Karat, Schleim-Keim, Electra, Pankow, P.o.n.d., Butlers, Die Anderen Bands, Die Skeptiker, Mts, College Formation, Possenspiel, Die Firma, Weiterverarbeitung, Berluc, Big Savod and the Deep Manko, Die Caufner-Schwestern, Minitraum, Key. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Die anderen Bands (“the other bands”) is a term combining alternative music bands of 1980s GDR (East Germany). They shared a more or less open criticism of their country’s political system, and a high degree of creativity which was lacking from the more established music scene of East Germany. Many members of these bands played significant parts during the time of “Wende” in 1989. The bands came from a broad range of musical genres, especially Punk, Wave, Indie and Electronic music. Radio DJ Lutz Schramm introduced the other bands to a wider audience in his show Parocktikum on East Germany’s youth radio station DT 64 (now Sputnik). In 1988 the East German record label AMIGA released a sampler called “Kleeblatt Nr. 23 – Die anderen Bands”. A year later another sampler was released, named after the radio show their music was first aired in: “Parocktikum”. Having been limited to self produced records and (sometimes illegal) gigs, both the radio show and the samplers offered a great opportunity for alternative bands to promote their material. From 1990 on several samplers with alternative bands from the former GDR were released. Most of the bands are now defunct, but some like Dekadance, Freygang and Herbst in Peking still exist. Other musicians have found fame in new bands such as Rammstein, whose band members have formerly been in Feeling B and Die Firma (mostly in German) …http://booksllc.net/?l=de |

Barbara’s Blue Kitchen $8.95 Comedy with Music Characters: 1 male, 1 or 2 female, flexible casting Interior Set Set in a small town just outside of Nashville, this slice-of-life comedic play with music is a genuine look into the hearts of everyday people. As the proprietor, Barbara Jean, tries to figure out “When is it courageous and when is it just plain crazy to hang on to love,” her customers come in and take a load off by sharing their funny, heartbreaking humanity. There’s Miss Morris a nurse who’s planning a Pyramid prayer-time, Miss Tessie, a senior citizen who’s gonna make you laugh and steal your heart, a Tupperware brandishing, plate-dropping waitress named Jeanette, Lombardo-a country-singing hairdresser, Tommy Lee, who is recovering from a dog-bite and Melissa a mixed-up Mother of three. Throughout it all, the wacky DJ from WATR, the local radio station, breaks in with local news, commercials about baldness and whole slew of quirky, unforgettable toe-tapping songs. “In fact, it’s a perfectly judged balance of flavors-exactly what you’d hope for in theatrical comfort food.” -Time Out New York “Winsome and winning…alive with homespun charm. In short, this countrified pocket musical is a little miracle of art and heart.” -TheatreMania “Funny stuff! Wonderful! You got to go see this show!” -WOR Radio “A slice of theatre as tasty and tangy as a piece of peach pie…Barbara’s Blue Kitchen: this is a place where people actually eat together in community, rather than in their own separate worlds.” -Show Business “Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, it’s a pleasure to spend time in Barbara’s Blue Kitchen.” -Traveler’s USA Notebook “It’s a tasty down-home dish…” -BACKSTAGE.com “The charismatic Lori Fischer serves up a sort of down-home Bridge and Tunnel with Barbara’s Blue Kitchen…” -HX Magazine “Like Greater Tuna and Steel Magnolias, Barbara’s Blue Kitchen, a play with music by and starring Lori Fischer, echoes the eccentric |

Best Of: First 10 Years $11.98 As an encapsulation of the most vital period in Elvis Costello’s career, The First Ten Years portrays of a rule-breaker who nevertheless had a deep respect for his musical roots. Even as he was defining New Wave in the late 1970s with Watching the Detectives, Pump it Up, and Radio, Radio, Elvis was paying homage to The Byrds on (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes and copping Spinners riffs on Alison. The collection follows Costello into the ’80s as he expands his songwriting and production palette ( New Lace Sleeves, Beyond Belief ) while tackling old-school country ( Good Year for the Roses ) and Stax soul ( I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down ). In the years that followed this collection’s scope, Costello would launch himself whole-heartedly into everything from big-band jazz to classical orchestration, but the seeds of all that eclecticism (not to mention the aesthetic template for most of his subsequent work) lie in the tracks presented here. As one of the most original artistic personalities of his era, Costello proved enormously influential for multiple generations, and The First 10 Years shows the achievements on which his legend is built. |

Bible Belt (Explicit Version) $10.98 Singer-songwriter Diane Birch took half her lifetime, and traveled across the globe, to get to America, where she literally found her voice and made her remarkable debut, Bible Belt. Though only in her mid-twenties, Birch likes to think of herself as an old soul, and indeed there is a startling maturity in her singing and a veteran’s self-assurance in her writing. Hook-driven songs like Fools and Valentino offer more than just instant gratification: they’re like your new best friends ? you’ll want to get together with them as frequently as possible. Birch mixes piano-playing virtuosity with easy-going soul, and she can strike an uplifting groove on even the most melancholy tune. Her work bears hints of Laura Nyro (when she was hanging out with LaBelle) and early 70’s Karen Carpenter (when she was ruling the charts), while effortlessly incorporating New Orleans second-line rhythms, gospel fervor, doo-wop harmonies, country-blues guitar and classic AM radio-style melodies. Bible Belt was recorded in New York City and New Orleans with a formidable team of Grammy-winning producers: S-Curve Records founder Steve Greenberg, soul legend Betty Wright and Mike Mangini. Among the players accompanying Birch are guitarist Lenny Kaye of The Patti Smith Group, bassists Adam Blackstone from The Roots, and George Porter of The Meters, acclaimed drummers Stanton Moore of Galactic and Cindy Blackman of Lenny Kravitz fame, saxophonist-about-town Lenny Pickett, and trombonist Tom Bones Malone, along with veteran singer Eugene Pitt, lead vocalist of fabled Brooklyn vocal group, the Jive Five. |

Bluegrass Breakdown $22.16 Winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award Bluegrass Breakdown is an expansive foray into the makings of bluegrass. More than any other book of its kind, it gets to the roots of a uniquely American music that is deeply linked to working-class ideals and romanticism. Robert Cantwell engages the historical background, commercial origins, internal workings, and cultural and social significance of popular, old-time music to provide a unique musicological and sociological perspective. Well versed in the history of the tradition and equally as interested in those who listen to the music as in those who create it, Cantwell links bluegrass to its hillbilly roots in Appalachia and shows how the music was transformed by African American folk traditions, the influence of jazz, ragtime, blues, and country music, and the growth of radio and recording technology. |

Excerpt: BOB FM is the on-air brand of a number of FM radio stations in Canada and the United States . The Bob FM format features a mix of classic 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s hits with some current hot adult contemporary singles. BOB FM stations in Canada are all owned by CTVglobemedia . Those in the United States are owned by a variety of companies. Bob FM stations are officially classified as variety hits or adult hits by radio research companies. It was originally named for the ” B est o f the B est”, and subsequently associated with an everyday character named Bob, and it proved extremely successful in its first implementation on Winnipeg, Manitoba ’s CFWM . It inspired Rogers Communications to license the Jack FM format at many of its stations, Corus Entertainment ’s subsequent Joe FM and Dave FM brands, and comparable moves at other stations. Currently a syndicated version of the format is offered by Waitt Radio Networks. The format was largely conceived by Howard Kroeger, a former executive at CHUM, after attending a friend’s 40th birthday party. He took the “Bob” moniker from a country music station (then WBOB, today KTLK-FM ) that had broadcast in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market of Minnesota to the south several years earlier. Many BOB FM stations market themselves with the slogan “Turn your knob to BOB”; this was a parody from a Mystery Science Theater 3000 skit in which TV’s Frank creates his own radio station and exhorts viewers to “Turn your crank to Frank”.

Boogaloo: The Quintessence of American Popular Music $20.95 Boogaloo—the synonym of choice among the cognoscenti for rhythm and blues—is a stylish and profound meditation on the art, influence, and commerce of black American popular music. At once deeply knowing and keenly observant, Arthur Kempton reveals the tensions between the sacred and the profane at the heart of “soul music,” and the complex centrality of “Aframericans” in the evolution of our mass musical culture. What that culture is all about, who owns it, and who gets paid—these are issues of moment in his epic narrative.Kempton brilliantly traces the interconnections among a century’s worth of signal personalities, events, and achievements: from Thomas A. Dorsey, the so-called Father of Gospel Music, whose career (“Got to Know How to Work Your Show”) sheds light on Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown, among others, to the rise of that “handsome Negro lad,” Sam Cooke (perhaps the greatest of soul singers) and his definitive crossover dreams; from Berry Gordy Jr.’s infatuation with Doris Day and his sharp business plan to capture and exploit the sounds of young America through Motown (“It’s What’s in the Grooves That Counts”) to the founding of Stax Records and Memphis Soul by a white farm kid who grew up dreaming of being a country fiddler; from the visionary funk of George Clinton to the ascendancy of hip hop (“Sharecropping in Wonderland”), the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, and the story of Death Row Records.Boogaloo is a monumental work, informed by a rare fierceness of intellect, which debunks many a myth andcanard about our popular music heritage even as it enlarges our understanding of its quintessence. Author Biography: Arthur Kempton was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and received a B. A. in English from Harvard. He has been a radio disk jockey, deputy superintendent of Boston’s |
