Extractions: Cash's surprise appearance Friday night (Sept. 13) was the undisputed highlight of the first annual Americana Music Awards show. Cash's lingering health problems recently resulted in a brief hospital stay in Nashville. However, the 70-year-old singer-songwriter appeared to be surprisingly robust when he showed up at the Hilton Suites Hotel in downtown Nashville to accept the Americana Music Association's first-ever Spirit of Americana Free Speech Award. In presenting the award, First Amendment Center founder John Seigenthaler cited Cash's history of speaking out for the poor and oppressed, including prisoners and native Americans. Referring to Cash's patriotism and deep religious beliefs, Seigenthaler noted, "At a time of tragedy and terror and civil strife and danger, he knows that we must reach beyond the bombs and the barriers to embrace Christian, Jew and Muslim as one. This 'Man in Black' is a symbol of rebellion against those whose minds are closed to other ideas."

Extractions: THE CARTER FAMILY T he Carter Family made their first recordings for Ralph Peer on the Victor label in 1927, in Bristol, Tennessee. During the next 17 years they recorded some 300 old-time ballads, traditional tunes, country songs, and Gospel hymns, all representative of America's southeastern folklore and heritage. The original Family consisted of Mother Maybelle Addington Carter (1909-1979), who played guitar and sang harmony; Sara Dougherty (1898-1979), who played autoharp and sang alto lead; and Saras husband, Alvin Pleasant (A.P.) Carter (d.1960), who played fiddle and sang bass. They operated out of their homes in the Clinch Mountain area of Virginia until 1938, when they moved to Texas for three years, and then to Charlotte, North Carolina. They did their last radio show together in 1942, after which Maybelle Carter, who has been called the "Queen of Country Music," continued the tradition and her career with her three daughters , Anita, Helen, and June who is married to Johnny Cash After working on WRWL Radio in Richmond, Virginia, from 1943 to 1946, Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters, as they were billed, moved first to WRVA, also in Richmond, for 18 months, and then to WNOX in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Extractions: The Finally Chapter After leaving Del Rio, the Carters Family moved to Charlotte, where they spent a couple of years broadcasting over the station there and playing show dates at school houses all around. The Carter Family now was Mother Maybelle Carter, Helen, June, and Anita. From there they went to WRVA, Richmond Virginia ( 1943 - 47 ), Knoxville ( 1948 ), and from there to Springfield, Missouri ( 1949). Finally, along with the guitar player they picked up named Chet Atkins, they moved to Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry in 1950. This became the Carter Family home at least for the second generation of the family for seventeen years as regular members at the Grand Ole Opry. Sara moved to California with her second husband, Coy Bays. A.P. moved back to Virginia where he died in 1960. With the election of the Carter Family to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Maybelle, the last active member of the trio, enjoyed a period of acclaim worthy of her stature as a legendary founding member of our great country music empire. Like A.P. Maybelle loved her native Virginia. Life in the arid Texas - Mexican border area was not her cup of tea. She longed to see the flowers on the green hillsides , to hear the rushing water of the clear mountain streams up on Clinch Mountain. She missed the smell of hickory smoke curing the meat in November and she missed the snow in January. Her song, LONESOME HOMESICK BLUES, comes straight from the heart, for she wrote this song during the last season on the Mexican radio stations, shortly before she would return home to Clinch Mountain.

Dr. Brinkley had built the most powerful radio station in the world, 500,000 watt XERA, and blanketed North America with sales pitches for snake oils and his quack remedies. A Chicago company, Consolidated Royal Chemical, also used XERA airwaves to sell patent medicines, and featured the best in country music entertainment Anita's mother, Maybelle, her uncle, A. P., and her aunt, Sara: the Carter Family. One day, Maybelle told little Anita to sing her favorite song into the microphone, the one about the "purty liddle kitty kat" that wore "a great big cowboy hat." The show's producers were ecstatic! That cute little girl had the Carter gift, they said. Were there any more at home like her? Why, yes, Maybelle said. There were her two daughters, Helen and June, and there was A. P. and Sara's daughter, Janette. For the next three years, two generations of Carters sang to an audience spanning the continent, and a generation of budding country stars got a musical education that shaped them forever.

Extractions: 1920s: The birth of country J immie Rodgers blended musical styles. The Carter Family stayed true to tradition. Vernon Dalhart popularized. Between them, they sketched the outline for what would become the distinctly American invention, country music. Their talent was aided by timing: Country music would not have been possible before the 1920s, when the mass production of radios and records broke down the walls that had kept American musical styles hemmed into regional pockets. Dalhart, largely forgotten today, was country music's first major star. Born Marion Try Slaughter in an East Texas cattle-herding family, he moved to New York City in 1910 and found work singing at funerals, then in light operas. His recording career took off with his 1924 release, "The Prisoner's Song," and its flip side, "The Wreck of the Old 97."

http://www.inform.umd.edu/EdRes/Colleges/ARHU/ARHH/AmericanRoots/AMRcountry.html

Extractions: C ountry Although musicians had been playing in the southern Appalachians for generations, Old Time Music started on its path to becoming Country music in a makeshift studio in Bristol, Tennessee on August 1, 1927. On that day, during what would become known as the Bristol Barn sessions, Ralph Peer signed Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family (A.P., Sara, and cousin Maybelle) to recording contracts for Victor Records. Upon hearing that the talent scout Ralph Peer was setting up a portable recording studio on the Virginia-Tennessee border, the musicians headed in that direction. No one expected the records to be such a resounding success. But Peer and Victor found that the demand for old time or hillybilly music was enormous. "The music of Rodgers and the Carter Family evoked both the expansive frontier spirit and the longing, backward glance toward home. These artists not only preserved and a popularized a large body of American folk expression, they laid the foundations which form country music today." The son of a railroad man, Jimmie Rodgers, nicknamed both the Blue Yodeler and the Singing Brakeman, became a railroad hand himself. In 1925 he left the railroad to become a serious musician. "Rodgers' career straddled the years when America stood on, then slid over, the brink of Depression. Together, Rodgers' voice and guitar, haunting and pure, strong yet vulnerable influenced virtually every country music artist that came after him. In many ways he also extended the hillbilly music tradition, crossing the color line to record with black artists such as Louis Armstrong and blues guitarist Clifford Gibson."

Extractions: The Carter Family IS American country music. Real mountain folk from a hamlet in Virginia, the trio of Sara, Maybelle, and A.P. Carter pretty much created the genre (at least on record) in its earliest days, and has left the legacy of a spare, honest style and an immense, enduring repertoire that has been the very definition of country music for generations. Here, at last, is a five-CD, 126-song box set of their entire 1920s and 1930s RCA/Victor output, from Ralph Peer's groundbreaking recording sessions in Bristol, Tennessee, to their final Camden studio sessions.

Extractions: When the original colonists from Britain settled in this new land called America, they brought along their music. This included traditional English, Scotch and Irish dance melodies, folk songs and ballads. As the colonies grew, the population diversified, and many other types of music were imported and absorbed into the culture of this new country called the United States of America. In the Isolated rural communities of the Southeastern and Midwestern states, many residents preserved their own local derivations of the Scotch-Irish based music. They called it "folk music", "hillbilly music" or simply "country music". This rustic music was a favorite form of entertainment at rural festivals and local barn dances. Each region independently developed its own unique style. It has always remained exclusively white folks music. Very few Afro-Americans perform or listen to country music. The early twentieth century brought an innovation called radio that radically changed the nature of country music in the USA. Southern radio stations soon learned that their rural audiences preferred listening to local performers playing their own local music. They began broadcasting country music programs. For the first time, rural residents from across the land heard the different styles of folk music popular in various regions of the country. The WSM barn dance radio show in Nashville Tennessee became the most popular country music broadcast of all. Since the barn dance followed a classical music program named "The Grand Old Opera", country performers began calling their show "the Grand Ole Opry". This show was rebroadcast by radio stations across the country and heard by millions of listeners. It soon became the most popular country music program in the USA. It still holds that title.

Extractions: Country music history In the 1930's, country music was beginning to spread, thanks to the invention of the radio. This became a popular source of entertainment in a time of an impoverished economy. Radio was entertaining, and, it was virtually free. Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, and the Carter Family were all making their ways in the expanding world of music. bodyOffer(32260) WSM's Grand Ol' Opry, which began its long-running history in Nashville, Tennessee, started out as a radio show in the 1930's. Because of its large range of popular country singing stars, record companies and "wannabe" singers from all over the United States were drawn to Nashville. It soon became known as "Music City USA." Every singer had a nickname which pertained to their prominence in the world of country music, and Roy Acuff was no exception. Known to his fans as the "King of Country Music", Acuff and his band, which was called "The Smoky Mountain Boys", joined the Opry in the late 1930's. Acuff's Opry fame lasted many years until he passed away in 1992. The Grand Ol' Opry went on to showcase many more singers, ladies and gentlemen alike, with the addition of Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, and Little Jimmy Dickens, just to name a few. In later years, singers who made their marks in the music world would also grace the stage. These included big names like George Jones, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, and Porter Wagoner.
