	Willie Nelson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American guitarist and country singer, originally from Abbott, Texas.
		He reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, though he had already become famous as a 1960s songwriter.
		His distinctive music sometimes takes a backseat to his public image, that of a marijuana smoking old hippie troubadour.

		He is not responsible for the genocide of American Indians by Franciscan missionaries of later generations.
		Certainly, Bolivia like other Latin American countries, has suffered under the weight of colonialism, imperialism and globalization, however, the traditional music is still alive and even the traditions which incorporated music influences from the outside world embrace all that is still beautiful in the world.
		I would imagine that most Americans have heard of the Blackfeet Indian tribe, but probably were misinformed by a brief citation in a history book or a Hollywood movie.

	Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Paul Simon
		Faith is at the heart of American culture, faith above all in humanity's possibilities.
		Tom and Jerry went their separate ways after high school, but Simon and Garfunkel soon got together again and American music would never be the same.
		Here, as later throughout Simon's vast songbook in the decades to come, was an American troubadour's passionate narrative impulse filtered through an urbane aesthetic drenched in melancholy gentleness.

		Through observation, recollection, and conversation inspired by his songs and stories, they, in turn, have added their vision to the spirit of his performance.
		American classics like Down In The Valley, and Simple Gifts resonate to the mountain dulcimer and a sweet lonely harmonica is laced with reflections of the American Civil War.

		Rock 'n' roll was born in the 1950s at the intersection of white and fl society, both in the South and the North.

	Rock Paper Scissors - Desert Blues 2 (Network) - CD review by Bob Duskis
		Many of these musicians are the equivalent of the American blues troubadour who sings of life's tribulations and of survival amid adverse conditions.
		Diawara is from Guinea and is the half brother of famed musician Mory Kante.
		Diawara is playing a newly developed 31-string kora -- 21 strings is the norm -- and Brozman is playing a "national guitar," which has a resonator in the body with a bottleneck slide.

	Rockzilla.net Dub Miller by Shannon Heaton
		On "American Troubadour", Dub Miller conjures up smoky honky-tonks, just south of legal escapades, an elderly East Texas gentleman, an aging mercenary, and undying love all with equal clarity.
		From "American Troubadour"'s first song the listener knows what it is they're in for.
		Now growing old in obscurity and realizing the fighting is finally over for him he seems to be questioning this decision.

	Mike West - New Orleans Levee-Billy Music - Squirrel Records - New Orleans, Louisiana
		One of the more unlikely reinventions of recent history concerns West's metamorphosis from androgynous pop tart (inseparable from his cocker-spaniel, Roger), to grizzled, left field American troubadour.
		Beneath the apparent hokum and jive, the songs overflow with the strangeness, terror and charm of American daily life.
		She was born in Indiana, and favours a more contemporary sound than West, who tends to dip into the ragbag of rootsy American with relish.

	Roskilde Festival
		After hitting rock bottom, with drugs, alcohol, and a lengthy prison sentence, American troubadour Steve Earle succeeded in making a serious comeback in 1995 with the convincing Train a Comin', which since that time has been followed by I Feel Alright and last year's triumph, El Corazon.
		This trinity of records established once and for all Earle's status as one of the best American songwriters.
		Steve Earle made his debut in 1986 with an incredible debut album Guitar Town, and at that time was lumped with the wave of "new country", a stream of young musicians, who revitalised the languishing country scene.

		I heard a man doing his best to be who he was destined to be; an American troubadour, a voice of our people, a ring in the tree that is the history of these States.

	American Troubadour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over US$180,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August.
		American Troubadour was the 1997 British 2-CD set that chronologized the five albums and various non-album singles that singer/songwriter Phil Ochs released on AandM Records between 1967 and 1974.
		Released in the same year as Farewells And Fantasies, the three-CD set that chronologized Ochs' career on both Elektra and AandM, there are still many reasons to own American Troubadour, namely the inclusion of the five post-1970 sides that, for whatever reason, did not appear on the box set.

		In this project, Long says, "children listen to the stories of community elders and develop songs and narrations from the words of the elders," which are written as first-person accounts of the elders' lives and performed for the community.
		The guidebook describes step by step how Long, whom author Studs Terkel has called "a true American troubadour," works with community schools nationwide, usually during a residency of several days.
		More than15 older people are publicly honored, and the video focuses on four Minneapolis elders in particular: one originally from Puerto Rico, a former refugee from Somalia, an African American elder who had moved north from Tennessee, and a Minnesotan with Swedish roots.

		"Early on, I decided to follow in the tradition of an American troubadour," he says, "writing songs as if I were reporting behind me." Throughout his 28 years as a musician, Mellencamp has tried not to involve himself in politics, but he finds the current state of affairs too "ridiculous" to look away.
		The fact that she was not the messenger of the song probably had more to do with her being both Native American and a woman.
		This is a sad and frightening look into the nation's treatment of the fl American.

		The 19th century ballad was an anthem for gold prospectors as they made their way to the Sacramento Valley and a shaky shot at high fortune.
		It could be also be said that the desire to stamp a thing with one's own mark is just as American as the stories within these songs.
