    We have a very special guest in this episode. Today, we're diving into the rich tapestry of the extraordinary songwriter, Gretchen Peters. Growing up next to the legendary Greenwich Village folk scene, before moving to Colorado where she cut her teeth as a performer, and finally settling in Nashville at the height of the traditional country to pop country split in the 90’s and early aughts. Peters’ story is something that music journalists and authors could only dream of living. And during all this time, she has etched her name into the annals of American music history with her poignant lyrics and haunting melodies.

    In the early '90s, Peters released her debut album, 'The Secret of Life,' which quickly garnered attention for its lyrical depth and Peters' distinctive, emotive voice. Throughout her illustrious career, Peters has penned songs that resonate with a raw, emotional honesty and capture complexities of the human condition. Her songs have been cut by the likes of Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood, and has been a longstanding advocate for musician’s rights in an increasingly complicated industry that looks more and more like a battleground everyday. 

    Having recently retired from touring, it’s time to take stock of  Gretchen Peters' immeasurable impact on music. Her dedication to storytelling has earned her a place among the most revered songwriters of our time. So join us today as we speak with Gretchen Peters about her serendipitous career, women’s music in country and Americana, and whether or not there really is a difference between being a songwriter and being a performer.

    Lonestar Lineup | The Voices of Red Dirt and Texas Country

    Lonestar Lineup | The Voices of Red Dirt and Texas Country

    It’s a new year Americana Podcast listeners! And with a new year, means new discussions on what makes Americana… well Americana. When we look at this genre, we talk a lot its history and its future. And over time we’ve been able to piece together this ongoing timeline and certain elements that are key to its existence. Base influences in songwriting, certain instrumentation, and geography. If you’ve been a long-time listener, you know that many of our previous guests have attributed a great deal of their musical identity to where they learned music from. 

    This of course is a holdover from the new world mentality in the west, where many genres developed due to particularly regional and social integrations over extended periods of time. When looking at Americana we are specifically looking at the European folk trad to bluegrass, blues to rock, and then rock and bluegrass to country as we know it today. That’s a lot of words to basically say the place that you identify as home, has as significant of an effect on your musical education as who’s albums you choose to listen to growing up. 

    And Kentucky aside, some of the artists that know that best are from Texas and Oklahoma.

    There’s a lot of opinions on the state of Red Dirt Music and Texas Country. Developing as sub genres in the late 80’s to early 00’s, this very regional brand of music came up in response to commercial country. And I’m not talking Florida Georgia Line commercial, I’m talking Tim McGraw commercial. Whom we love. 

    There’s a lot of ups and downs and opinions in the overall conversation but the general one is that Red Dirt and Texas Country became a space for outsiders beyond the Nashville standard. Piggybacking off of the outlaw movement and the historical legacies of artists, particularly Texas native Willie Nelson, these scenes were able to flourish in their respective regions and began to go a bit beyond. They were in a position to challenge the value of industry effect in radio versus organic growth in listenership. They developed loyal followings, local radio play.... The works. But due to a long series of unfortunate commercial circumstances, the scenes have presently been relegated very much south of the red river. 

    And I could go on about this, but fortunately on this episode you can hear it straight from the quarter horse’s mouth. 

    Americana Podcast speaks with the artists who possibly have the most pertinent opinions on the state of Red Dirt and Texas Country and their weight in the views of Americana music. On this episode we have musical and actual giant Ray Benson from Asleep at The Wheel. Defender of the Dance Hall Randy Rogers, Okie not from Muskogee Jason Boland of Jason Boland and the stragglers, young blood William Beckmann, whip smart Wade Bowan, and philanthropist at heart Josh Abbott. Saddle up and enjoy the show.

    Ring Them Bells - Dylan Cover

    Ring Them Bells - Dylan Cover

    funny how 24 years weighs on a man at 51 . . .
    i was 27 in 1999.

    blessed.

    Lyrics

    Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
    Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
    For they're deep and they're wide
    And the world is on its side
    And time is running backwards
    And so is the bride

    Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
    Ring them bells with an iron hand
    So the people will know
    Oh, it's rush hour now
    On the wheel and the plow
    And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow

    Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son
    Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one
    Oh, the shepherd is asleep
    Where the willows weep
    And the mountains are filled with lost sheep
    Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
    Ring them bells for all of us who are left
    Ring them bells for the chosen few
    Who will judge the many when the game is through
    Ring them bells for the time that flies
    For the child that cries
    When innocence dies

    Ring them bells for Saint Catherine from the top of the room
    Ring them bells from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
    Oh, the lines are long and the fighting is strong
    And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong

    Caravan of Fools

    Caravan of Fools

    seems like this song was on 1883 or Yellowstone.....

     The dark and distant drumming
     The pounding of the hooves
     The silence of everything that moves
     Late at night you'll see them
     Decked out in shiny jewels
     The coming of the caravan of fools
     
     Like the wings of a dove
     The waiter's white glove
     Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool
     Some dull, blinding winner
     When you can't stand to lose
     You're running with the caravan of fools
     
     The caravan of fools, caravan of fools
     You're running with the caravan of fools
     
     Love and devotion
     Deep as any ocean
     Don't play by anybody's rules
     With your carousel of horses
     And your unforeseen forces
     You're running with the caravan of fools
     
     Caravan of fools, caravan of fools
     You're running with the caravan of fools
