Radio and Roots Music along the Red River-In Louisiana Hayride - Radio And Roots Music Along The Red River Tracey E.W. Laird documents the history of the popular radio station exploring the role that northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. This interdisciplinary study that combines original ethnomusicology research with social and oral history. On a Saturday night in 1948 Hank Williams stepped onto the stage of the Louisiana Hayride and sang 'Lovesick Blues.' Up to that point Williams's yodeling style had been pigeon-holed as hillbilly music cutting him off from the mainstream of popular music. Taking a chance on this untriedartist the Hayride—a radio 'barn dance' or country music variety show like the Grand Ole Opry—not only launched Williams's career but went on to launch the careers of well-known performers such as Jim Reeves Webb Pierce Kitty Wells Johnny Cash and Slim Whitman. Broadcast from Shreveport Louisiana the local station KWKH's 50 000-watt signal reached listeners in over 28 states and lured them to packed performances of the Hayride's road show. By tracing the dynamic history of the Hayride and its sponsoring station ethnomusicologist Tracey Laird reveals the critical role that this part of northwestern Louisiana played in the development of both country music and rock and roll. Delving into the past of this Red River city she probes the vibrant historical cultural and social backdrop for its dynamic musical scene. Sitting between the Old South and the West this one-time frontier town provided an ideal setting for the cross-fertilization of musical styles. The scene was shaped by the region's easy mobility the presence of a legal 'red-light' district from 1903-17 and musical interchanges between blacks and whites who lived in close proximity and in nearly equal numbers. The region nurtured such varied talents as Huddie Ledbetter the 'king of the twelve-string guitar ' and Jimmie Davis the two term 'singing governor' of

Story Of Jazz As Told By The Men Who Made It. Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ? Charlie Parker What is jazz' The rhythm ? the feeling. ? Coleman Hawkins The best sound usually comes the first time you do something. If it's spontaneous, it's going to be rough, not clean, but it's going to have the spirit which is the essence of jazz. ? Dave Brubeck Here, in their own words, such famous jazz musicians as Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Fletcher Henderson, Bunk Johnson, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Clarence Williams, Jo Jones, Jelly Roll Morton, Mezz Mezzrow, Billie Holiday, and many others recall the birth, growth, and changes in jazz over the years. From its beginnings at the turn of the twentieth century in the red-light district in New Orleans (or Storyville, as it came to be known), to Chicago's Downtown section and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and Chicago's South Side to jam sessions in Kansas City to Harlem during the Depression years, the West Coast and modern developments, the story of jazz is vividly and colorfully documented in hundreds of personal interviews, letters, tape recorded and telephone conversations, and excerpts from previously printed articles that appeared in books and magazines. There is no more fascinating and lively history of jazz than this firsthand telling by the men who made it. It should be read and re-read by all jazz enthusiasts, musicians, students of music and culture, students of American history, and other readers. A lively book bearing the stamp of honesty and naturalness. ? Library Journal. A work of considerable substance. ? The New Yorker. Some of the quotations are a bit racy but they give the book a wonderful flavor. ? San Francisco Chronicle.

South Indian Female Playback Singers and Stardom 1945-1955-Her Majestic Voice contains previously untold histories and biographies of playback singers from South India. Southern cinema is usually skipped when Indian cinema is talked about. This fascinating volume contains rare photographs of playback singers and actresses from 1945-1955. The emergence of singers in Bombay Madras and other film industries of India as musical models to be admired and remembered coincided with the ascendancy of film songs as the dominant mode of entertainment. In the 1950s many a south-Indian film song belonged to playback singers such as R. Balasaraswati Devi K. Jamuna Rani Jikki Krishnaveni P. Leela and the singingactress P. Bhanumati whose popularity and stardom flourished and remained independent of the 'Bombay influence' and its specific vocal endorsements. Based on personal interviews of the singers extensive archival research on film practices and close textual analysis this work fills a gap in the history of Indian cinema by presenting a compelling account of the ways in which playback stardom developed under specific socio-cultural conditions and was closely connected with ideas of respectability art and artistic talent. An important work on early cinema and unfamiliar song-production practices Her Majestic Voice chronicles a hitherto untold history of struggles artistry and rise to fame while analysing the historical role of playback singers in south India between 1945 and 1955.
