Topic: 1993 in country music


  
  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Tuesday Night Music Club   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Country music, once known as country and western music, is a popular musical form developed in the southern United States, with roots in traditional folk music, spirituals, and the blues.
Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are widely considered to be the founders of country music, and their songs were first captured at an historic recording session in Bristol, Tennessee on August 1, 1927, where Ralph Peer was the talent scout and sound recordist.
Even today the variety of country music is not usually well reflected in radio airplay and the popular perception of country music is still influenced by the maudlin ballads and whining steel guitars that many people still associate with the genre.

 Alan Jackson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Alan Jackson (born October 17, 1958) is an American country music singer, and songwriter, originally from Newman, Georgia.
He has become one of the best-selling country musicians of the 1990s, in spite of almost-universal critical panning in the latter, and most successful, half of his career.
Although Jackson has been characterised as a "hat act", his influences go deep into the roots of country music and his songs have been recorded by some of the greats like Charley Pride, who recorded "Here In The Real World".

 MUSICMATCH Guide: Buck Owens
Owens was the first bona fide country star to emerge from Bakersfield, scoring a total of 15 consecutive number one hits in the mid-'60s.
Nevertheless, several generations of musicians -- from Gram Parsons in the late '60s to Dwight Yoakam in the '80s -- were influenced by his music, which wound up being one of the blueprints for modern country music.
Owens was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1993 and was hospitalized for pneumonia in 1997; in 2006, he passed away at age 76 in his Bakersfield home.

 dOc DVD Review: Legends of Country: Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline (1990, 1993) - Printable
Kitty Wells paved the way for female country singers, and Patsy Cline was on top as Lynn was coming up, but Lynn gets a lot of credit for introducing a female point of view into her songs.
Made in 1993, thirty years after Cline's untimely death in an airplane crash, this second half of the double bill is true to its title: it's largely reminiscences about Patsy from family, friends and colleagues, as well as younger country singers who know her only from her records.
She was one of the first country acts to play Vegas, which sounds as if it was a withering experience; far more rewarding was a gig at Carnegie Hall.
