Subject: NN: Nashville Radio - WSM 
   From: "The Kimbros" (kimbroj@charter.net> 
   Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 19:07:55 -0500 

Hi folks --

I've posted before about how I feel that Nashville is pretty much a 
Cultural wasteland when it comes to good music on the radio.  Since my 
work requires me to visit the city frequently, I've learned which 
stations to tune in at what times to get the programming I like.  You 
might find Nanci Griffith or Kate Campbell on the weekends, but though 
the week there just isn't much in the way of good folk, country, or 
acoustic music on the air there.  The one exception has been WSM AM.  
They nearly always play classic country or bluegrass (I'll take Loretta 
over Shedaisy any day!) and, of course, they are the station that has 
brought us the Grand Ole Opry for over half a century.  
WSM still broadcasts across the country and can be heard from hundreds 
of miles away on 650AM.  Last summer I spent the night on a fishing
boat off the Florida coast and listened to the live Opry broadcast from 
the ocean.

Well, guess what.....

Gaylord Entertainment, you know them, the ones that now bring us
pro-wrestling instead of music videos on TNN, the same company that had 
to be restrained by the city of Nashville and the state of Tennessee 
from destroying the Ryman Auditorium a few years back, well, it seems 
they have plans to change WSM's format to SPORTS TALK!

When I first heard this, I didn't believe it, thought it was a hoax.  
But sadly, it isn't.  The station began taking calls from listeners 
today about the format change.  And tonight one of the Nashville TV 
network affiliates led with the story.  My guess is that there will be 
enough public outcry to stop the change, but nevertheless, I've emailed 
them with my opinion and thought some others here might want to.  

Their address is
     comments@wsmonline.com or mail@wsmonline.com.

Hope this isn't a controversial topic.  I'd hate to break my resolution 
on day one!

All my best,
-Shawn

>>From Beth:

Shawn,

I have some info about this, but I'm on aol 6.0 and always cause Bill a
bunch of aggravation, can you copy and paste this for me??

You can go vote online, http://www.PetitionOnline.com/savewsm - 
Yes, the deejays at least, know the petition is up.  And, from what I 
understand, there is a phone number you can call to voice your opinion.

What I am going to do (and yes, it's ok with the person that wrote me), 
I am going to paste part of an email that I got from Thom Shepherd.  He 
is the co-writer of a country song, "Riding With Private Malone".  He 
has close connections with WSM (and he knows I am a regular listener).

Here is what Thom had to say:
----------
I have spoken to a person at WSM and they say they are being flooded
with calls.  They are doing a poll to see if 650 AM should be changed 
to all sports & all talk or leave it like it is. So far, they have 
received over 200 calls, including Marty Stuart, Charlie Daniels, and 
many other country greats.

You can call 615-889-6595 until 5pm central time today, Jan. 2nd, and 
The phones will be open again at 8am tomorrow.

There is a WSM staff meeting scheduled for 10 am, so please let them
know your opinion before then!

---------

The petition if you want to sign - is:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/savewsm/

I just wanted to give you and NanciNet as much info as I can on this,
because THEY do like Nanci Griffith - and had her featured as a 'mini-
view' spotlight artist, back near her birthday.

Thanks,
Beth ((

Subject: NN: a New Year's wish 
   Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 23:36:53 -0800 (PST) 
   From: "Deb Thornton" (timpcoyote@yahoo.com> 

After several years of negligent but attentive
lurking, I wanted to acknowledge my thanks to the
community of this list, which so long ago ceased to be
"just about the music." I've returned to almost-daily
reading for the last couple of months and cannot tell
you what a great lift it has been to catch up with
everyone who's still posting, to have some very
meaningful private conversations, and simply to plug
in and know that it's still there live and thriving. I
so appreciate the perspectives, wisdom, humor, even
the occasional flames; they're all evidence of the
caring that characterizes this seemingly unique
virtual community.

In these nebulous times, few things are clear, but one
thing is definite: I so sincerely hope that the
collective harmony that was forged by tragedy will
continue to be as enriching as the goodness and
generosity that have typified this community since its
first day with its buskers and vanilla cokes.

I guess that's my wish for the New Year--and all the
ones to come. I'll keep my ghostly resolutions
private, but I want my thanks to be tangible and
personal. Stop for a moment and feel it.

And I encourage you to continue to write, to post your
thoughts, observations, and musings about the
questions you are living. You never know when someone
in a parallel universe will need your sentences. And
you never know when someone else's stray phrase will
change your life. But it happens.

Slippin' in through the back door without the porch
light on; goodnight,

Deb Thornton

((

1. Please send all your "best of" lists to:
bestofnanci@yahoo.com. Only e-mails to this address
will be counted.  If you've already sent your best
lists to the NANCINET, please send them again to me,
using the following guidelines. Of course, many of
you--like me--will also be sending your lists (with
comments and other stuff) to the NANCINET so others
can benefit.

2. Limit your selections to 15.  If you want to add
"honorable mentions" or others, please clearly label
them as such.  If there are enough "honorable
mentions," I may include them in a separate
compilation.

3. Dates of release should be 2001.  But, a major release
out in the UK or Australia or elsewhere outside the
USA in 2001 but not released in the USA is fine to
include.

4. Try to include artist name and name of release.  I
don't want to have to do too much guesswork.

5. Re-releases and new anthologies will be included in a
separate category--i.e. "Best Re-releases/Anthologies
of 2001" vs. "Best New Releases of 2001."  If you know
something is a re-release or an anthology, please
label it as such.

6. E-Mails will be accepted between now (12/21/01) and
1/15/02.  My goal is to have the final "best of" lists
compiled by the end of January,  2001.

Subject: NN: New Year thoughts and greetings 
   Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 15:01:46 +0000 (GMT) 
   From: "Graham Brown" (gjbrown_andalucia@yahoo.com> 

Hello folks,

Greetings from Ealing in West London on a cold but
sunny afternoon. I've recently hooked up to the NN
again and it's great to hear from you all and get your
musical recommendations and thoughts on life.

Deb Thornton's message said it all more eloquently but
I wanted to share a few thoughts.

This has been a tragic year - both on the world scale
with the events of September 11th and on a personal
scale. We (my Dad and I) lost my Mum on August 7th
after a long battle with cancer.

Mum fought bravely but in the end was so ill it was a
relief, a sense of letting go, of peace, when she
slipped away.

Then, a few months later, my closest friend Fenella
lost her father unexpectedly.

Also during 2001 there were bomb attacks by the Real
IRA at my local town shopping centre (Ealing Broadway)
and my place of work (Television Centre). Thankfully,
there were no serious injuries on either occasion.

But it has also been a year, I believe, of warmth,
love and hope in the face of awful events, again both
on a world and personal scale.

My Dad has been brave and determined and it was so
good to see him laughing as we played games with the
family at Christmas.

It was also the year that I came back to Nanci's
music. I'd bought all her CDs over many years except
Clock Without Hands. And then a dear friend Marion
bought it for my birthday in December. I also have
tickets for the Landmine Free World concert in
January.

Well, I've rambled enough with little Nanci content!

Love and peace to you all for 2002,
Graham

Subject: NN: Song of Bernadette 
   From: "Karen Schrempp" (celtic2000@postmark.net> 
   Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 16:30:33 +0000 

Ash - 

Christine Andreas has a 1997 cd (available on cdnow) entitled LOVE IS
GOOD, which has a beautiful rendition of 'Song Of Bernadette'. 
Christine is a Broadway diva who also does cabaret shows.  She has
been in one of The My Fair Lady revivals, Oklahoma, On Your Toes and
most recently in The Scarlet Pimpernel.  She has a killer voice.  'The
Moon's A Harsh Mistress' and 'And So It Goes' are my favorites on the
recording.

Being a die-hard Judy Collins fan, I know LIVE AT WOLFTRAP is still
available...just saw it at Borders while doing the holiday shopping.

Hope this helps.

Subject: NN: Best of 2001 
   Date: Tue, 1 Jan 02 09:56:39 +0000 
   From: "John Edward Graveling" (kai21@dial.pipex.com> 

Well 2002 is here, and a Happy New Year to all those out there in 
'Nanciland', those I know, and those who frequent these pages.

Here is my best of 2001 list.

For me there were three truly outstanding releases.

1. ERIC TAYLOR "Scuffletown". This took months to unravel it's charms 
on me, but once it did it became like a good book, difficult to put 
away. Eric wraps his great lyrics in some fabulous arrangements, full 
of little motifs and delicate melodies. A stunning, but not an easy, 
listen.

2. RODNEY CROWELL "The Houston Kid". Simply songwriting at its best, as 
Rodney traces back his childhood in Texas, and tells it like it was. He 
also backed it up with some great live acoustic shows, here in the 
U.K., and he is back this month for more.

3. BUDDY & JULIE MILLER "Buddy & JUlie Miller". Another disc that took 
some time to win me over. Initial plays revealed only disappointment, 
then the songs began to grab me, and three are simply some of the best 
I  have heard. The rockin' 'You Make My Heart Beat Too Fast', 'Forever 
Has Come To An End' and 'That's Just How She Cries' would grace any 
record, in any era. Evocative, almost timeless (organic) music played 
from the  heart, with real soul. What more could you want.

The outstanding debut of the year came from a man who has co-written 
half  a dozen songs on the last two Slaid Cleaves records.

4. ROD PICOTT "Tiger Tom Dixon's Blues". Includes two of Rod's versions 
of his co-writes with Slaid, 'Broke Down' and 'Bring It On'. Grittier 
and bleaker than Slaid's versions, Rod has a way of telling it like it 
is, and in 'On & On' produced the song of the year, a simply gorgeous 
tale of two young lovers. 'Torn In Two' a song of love lost, and the 
title cut about a boxer and the hardships of life. Available from 
www.rodpicott.com

5. PATTY LOVELESS "Mountain Soul". The bluegrass cd of the year, and 
another example of people going back to their roots.

6. SHAVER "The Earth Rolls On". Billy Joe says farewell to son Eddy in 
one of the most evocative releases in years. The white hot guitar of 
the title track is worth the price alone, but this is gorgeous rockin' 
country at it's best.

7. LUCINDA WILLIAMS "Essence". Another that took time to grow, but once 
I had seen the songs performed live, it took on another dimension. A 
worthy follow-up to "Car Wheels".

8. CPR "Just Like Gravity". The comeback of the year from David Crosby. 
Here is the proof that some 'old fossils' can still cut it. His best 
release since his hey-day some thirty years ago, and that is saying 
something!!!

9. RAY WYLIE HUBBARD "Eternal & Lowdown". Bluesy, singer-songwriting at 
its best. A great addition to the already burgeoning catalogue of Ray 
Wylie, and undoubtedly his best yet.

10. CHRIS KNIGHT " A Pretty Good Guy". Tough Americana /country 
rock/alt-country. Great songs, tough instrumentation. The closest thing 
to the 'bastard' son of John Prine and Steve Earle, if such a thing was 
possible.

11. PAT HANEY "Ghost Of Things To Come". Another slab of tough Kentucky 
writing, great songs, written as it is.

12. PAMELA ROSE "Morpheus". Anyone remeber Kennedy-Rose? Well Pam has 
risen from the ashes of that to produce her own vision, and it's not a 
million miles from what she has done in the past. Gorgeous, somewhat 
unique arrangements.

13. JAY FARRAR "Sebastopol". Debut from the ex-Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt 
front man and a departure from his past. Some lovely songs and 
interesting arrangements take him far from the alt-counrty field and 
into pastures new.

14. JOHN MELLENCAMP "Cuttin' Heads". Back to his best with some tough 
political statements. Had this been recorded after September 11th it 
would have been a statement for these times. The fact it was recorded 
before makes it kind of eerie. A man with vision?

15. JOHN HIATT "The Tiki Bar Is Open". Not quite as compelling as last 
years "Crossing Muddy Waters" but an impressive recording. Back with 
the Goners (inc. Sonny Landreth) so it rocks. He's here in the U.K. 
this month to play some dates, should be great.

Honourable mentions, in a year of great releases:

Gillian Welch "Time (The Revelator)"
Lucy Kaplansky "Every Single Day"
Kasey Chambers "Barricades & Brickwalls"
Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark "Together At The Bluebird"
Robert Earl Keen "Gravitational Forces"
Catie Curtis "My Shirt Looks Good On You"
Nanci Griffith "Clock Without Hands"
Leslie Satcher "Love Letters". A gem of a country record for once, 
    but sadly ignored at radio.
Rainravens "One More Saturday Night". Evokes memories of the Eagles 
    when they were a rockin' country band.
Kevin Welch "Millionaire"
Alison Krauss "New Favourite"
Tim Carroll "Free Again"
Duane Jarvis "Certified Miracle"
Toni Price "Midnight Pumpkin"
Mary Chapin Carpenter "Time*Sex*Love". Would have been No.16. 
    A fine, fine record.

Fianlly the two live cd's of the year.

Trish Murphy "Captured". The Texan songstress has really made her mark 
here in the U.K. this year and this beautiful, acoustic recording 
reveals a depth of talent the equal of any of those listed above.

Radney Foster "Are You Ready For The Big Show". A live gem!!!

Well that's it folks. If this year is half a s good as last for 
recorded music and live gigs, it will be another great one.

All the best,

John "rambled on too long" Graveling

Subject: NN: My Top 12 
   From: "Matt Bloomfield" (mailm@tthewb.u-net.com> 
   Date: 1 Jan 2002 13:48:15 +0000 

*1. Nerina Pallot - Dear Frustrated Superstar*

I really hope 2002 will be her year, she deserves it with this
stunning debut album.

*2. Lucinda Williams - Essence*

*3. Tom Russell - Borderland*

*4.  Lucy Kaplansky - Every Single Day*

Those three really could be in any order.  All are excellent.  
Essence is making quite a few "pop" lists this year too.

*5. Mary Chapin Carpenter - Time Sex Love*

Nice album, initially I wasn't 100% convinced I like it, but it
improved after seeing her play live.

*6. Various - POET a tribute to Townes Van Zandt*

Some excellent, and in places not so excellent covers by a who's who
of our favourite pickers.  Worth it for the Tower Song alone which is
better than any song on CWH.

*7. Natalie Merchant - Motherland*

*8. Natalie Imbruglia - White Lillies Island*

*9. Ryan Adams - Gold*

Hmm, pop country(ish).  Nothing wrong with that.  If you like Steve
Earle, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, David Gray.  He sounds like all
of them and more on this album.

*10. Nelly Furtado - Woah Nelly!*

Great single, mostly great album.

*11. Ed Harcourt - Here Be Monsters*

Rave reviews, but didn't hear much else about him.  This is a superb
album, a must for Radiohead fans of which there are definite
overtones, but it should also have much wider appeal.

*12. Nanci - Clock Without Hands*

An ok album, more dud tracks than her other albums and the one I play
least.  Some highlights, Midnight In Missoula, Lost Him In The Sun,
Pearls Eye View but the album version of Shaking Out The Snow  is
awful.  I really tried to like SOTS, I thought it was the highlight of
an otherwise slow concert at the Royal Albert Hall, but I cringe when
I hear this version.

*Best gig* -  Tom Russell and Andrew Hardin, Borderline London.  Seen
quite a few gigs this year, most were excellent but there are no
superlatives to describe this one so I won't even try.

*Best non-qualifier*  - Dar Williams, The Green World

Subject: NN: RE: best of 2001 
   From: "Ken Stiffler" (ksmsc@kmsx.net> 
   Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2001 23:51:49 -0500 

Best of 2001 for me (I think this turned out a little long):

1. Positively Live! - The Kennedys www.kennedysmusic.com
This should be available in stores. It's too good to have such limited
access. Go to www.kennedysmusic.com to order it.

2. Barricades & Brickwalls - Kasey Chambers www.kaseychambers.com
Hey, I'll get to sneak this in a second time in 2002 when it's released 
In the US! Yay! And it will have to be a good year for music to keep it 
out of the number one slot. (Yes, 2001 *WAS* a good year for music. And  
there is a new Kennedys CD due out this spring. The three songs I've 
heard live (including Pearls Eye View) have my hopes raised, especially 
the title song, "Get It Right", or maybe it's "Finally Get It Right", I 
may have gotten confused on that. Nerissa and Katryna Nields also have 
a CD due March 5th, and the songs I've heard live make it appear that 
"Love and China" may well be the best of 2002. So, we'll see. . . Looks 
like 2002 is  shaping up to be even better than 2001.) Until this is 
released in the US, it's at least available at www.villagerecords.com 
(and not a bad idea to use Village Records even *after* it's released 
in the US).

3. Live In Northhampton - The Nields www.nields.com
Has anyone noticed that I'm becoming a big Nields fan? :) This two CD 
set makes a great "Best Of", but doesn't represent the full range of 
what the band does on their individual CDs. Another one not available 
in stores. Try www.bulletproofstore.com.

4. Drum Hat Buddha - Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer www.daveandtracy.com
This is just nice stuff. Relaxing and fun and very well done. A bit 
hard to pigeonhole, but I like their term "Postmodern Mythic American 
Music". Looking forward to seeing them live.

5. Quick - Eddie From Ohio www.efohio.com
Not the best EFO, but any EFO is good. This band is my next priority 
for seeing live for the first time, though it looks like it will be 
awhile before they're on the road again, so others may come along 
first.

6. Coming Up Close - Jeannie Burns www.burnssisters.com or
www.jeannieburns.com
This is not a record that I could recommend to just anyone. Can't 
really say the songs are good enough for that. But her voice. I just 
love it. And, though she's known for being able to really belt it out, 
I actually like it better when she sings quietly.

7. Open - Cowboy Junkies www.cowboyjunkies.com
It would be difficult for any record with Margo Timmons' voice on it to
*not* crack my top ten in any given year.

8. Buddy and Julie Miller www.buddyandjulie.com
Most of the songs are Julie's. Especially because of that, I expected 
More of this CD. Since I got it after I'd already heard Clock Without 
Hands, I was really expecting it to be number one for the year. So 
that's a disappointment. But it's still top ten.

9. Days In Italy - Annie Burns www.burnssisters.com or 
www.annieburns.com (and, since she didn't have a record out this year, 
don't want to leave out www.marieburns.com) I actually feel guilty 
about this. Annie's CD *should* be listed higher than Jeannie's. There 
are so many great songs, most of them written or cowritten by Annie. 
The only problem is that so many of them have been recorded before, on 
other Burns Sisters records.

10. Scuffletown - Eric Taylor


Honorable Mention:

Clock Without Hands - Nanci Griffith
I've said that this wasn't my favorite Nanci record by any means, but 
for it to end up completely out of the top ten means it was a very good 
year for music. Julie Miller didn't even crack the top five!

Every Single Day - Lucy Kaplansky

Wandering Strange - Kate Campbell

Wonderland - Various


New discoveries this year - from prior years:

Actually Not - Eddie From Ohio
Had this been a 2001 release, it would have been my number one.

'Mousse - The Nields
Bob On The Ceiling - The Nields
Gotta Get Over Greta - The Nields
Abigail - The Nields

The remainder of the Eddie From Ohio catalog.

Craftsman - Guy Clark

Fat City - Shawn Colvin

Songs From The Heart - The Burns Sisters

Live Noise - Moxy Fruvous

Sixpence None The Richer

In My Father's House - Richie Furay
The guy is in his fifties and that voice still sounds the same on this 
1997 record as it did when he was in Poco 30 years ago. I can't hear 
any sign that he's lost any of those clear high notes.

There's A Light Beyond These Woods - Nanci Griffith
I've had this for years, but this year was the first time I really
appreciated it and listened to it over and over.

EastAutumnGrin - Matthew Ryan

Draw Them Near - Jess Klein

Treasures Of The Celtic Harp - Kim Robertson

Shiver - Jaimie O'Neal

Isle Of Winds - David Michael


Other, very heavily played records this year - from prior years:

The Captain - Kasey Chambers
Stories & Songs - John McEuen and Jimmy Ibbotson
Road Trip - Gary P Nunn
Blue Pony - Julie Miller
Orphans & Angels - Julie Miller
Spyboy - Emmylou Harris
Home Fires - Dead Ringer Band
Texas Plates - Vince Bell www.vincebell.com
Eric Taylor
Resurrection - Eric Taylor
Step Inside This House - Lyle Lovett
Slightly Haunted - Lynn Miles
Magic In The Air - Lindisfarne
Some Other Suckers Parade - Del Amitri
New Miserable Experience - Gin Blossums

Poet In My Window / Last Of The True Believers - Nanci Griffith
Have frequently been playing these back to back as if they were one CD.

Exodus - Bob Marley and The Wailers
Uprising - Bob Marley and The Wailers
These two are great music for driving through National Parks.

And there was a time this year that I listened to nothing but Steve 
Earle for a few weeks.

It's been a strange year. It all flew by (the end of July seems like 
just a month ago, two at the most - and my January trip to London seems 
like it was earlier this winter, instead of last winter), but when I 
start thinking about all the things that have happened this year, it 
seems like some of it *must* have happened three years ago. I didn't 
really do all that this year, did I????

Not a year that I bought as many new releases as usual, but these have 
emerged as my ten favorites.

   in alphabetical order:
Bob Dylan - Love And Theft
Lucy Kaplansky - Every Single Day (which is how often wife Connie 
     accuses me of playing it)
Bill Kirchen - Tied To The Wheel
Jenna Mammina - Meant To Be
Buddy & Julie Miller - Buddy & Julie Miller
Chris Thile - Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Trailer Bride - High Seas
Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)
Lucinda Williams - Essence  (we haven't listened to Car Wheels 
     since this came out)
The Word - The Word

happy new year,
  Steve Hale

Subject: NN: Nanci on PBS- Sort of..... 
   Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2002 11:07:50 -0500 
   From: "Steve Robertson" (stever@mindspring.com>
 
Just a little tidbit of trivia to keep everyone fully informed. NPR's
"Morning Edition" this morning used Nanci's instrumental version of 
"Year Down in New Orleans" (from the "Sounds of Wood and Steel II" 
album) as bumper music between segments.
