Oslin's first two albums were

	80's Ladies
	Love in a Small Town

I share your thrill at Oslin's earthy, multi-colored voice.  
80's Ladies is packed with memorable songs, but Love
in a Small Town had mostly forgettable material.  Of
course, I'd listen to her sing the phone book, so
I'm keeping both albums.

<*>  In answering your question, I thought you'd like alittle extra
     bio on 'Gentleman' Jim.  He acquired that title for the type
     of music he selected and what later became a trademark.  Too
     many gospel songs (he recorded) to count, Jim never folks get
     away without knowing he loved his Lord, and wanted the world
     know it (through his many recordings).  I decided to post this
     on 'world' network, since many folks outside the USA will agree
     how much 'bigger' Jim was in places, most folks 'here' wouldn't
     guess!  Places like: Africa; England; holland; etc.

     In many ways, Jim and Patsy Cline had similar professional 
     careers.  They both loved the 'deep' country sound in their
     songs.  After alittle coaxing from managers and recording
     studio engineers alike, they added a very 'stylistic' twist
     to their music...they added strings!  No, I don't mean guitars
     and fiddles!  Instuments like; Violins (flamers, don't even
     touch that one unless you've graduated from Peabody!); Violas;
     Cello's; and in Jim's case, HARPS ("I love you because")!

     It's very interesting to review their song catalog, and reveal
     the evolution of their music.  Still keeping it country, both
     Jim and Patsy now (through their music) invented the term
     "Classic Country".  Many in the music business have over and
     over stated what a shame it was that the two of them never re-
     corded together in the same studio.  But, leave it to technology
     to achieve what fate wouldn't allow.  Here at last, was a re-
     cording of "I fall to pieces" performed posthumously by Jim and
     Patsy.

     In March of 1963, while traveling back home after performing a
     benefit in Kansas, Patsy died in a private plane crash.  I
     believe it was in 1967, Jim reeves found similar fate.  While on
     business in Nashville several years ago, I was told Jim was out
     in his plane surveying some land, when the plane he was in 
     crashed.  There has been much lore ( in amoungst performers, and
     ole D.J.'s like me) surrounding the events of Jim's crash.  Maybe
     one day, Jim will have a movie made about his life.

     One other note you may/not be aware, Jim was also into making
     movies.  One such was "Kimberly Jim".

     I would be interested in seeing other post here on Jim Reeves.

     Best wishes,

     Baltimore Bill

In Boston, it's Harvard radio station WHRB and Boston College radio
station WZBC -- the former on Saturday mornings from 10 to 1 or so,
the latter on Sunday mornings from 10 to 2. In fact, these eight hours
are Boston's *only* country music radio. And they play so little Top
30 country (I doubt there are any Top 40 country stations in the country~r)
on those two shows that I feel utterly out of touch with the music these
days. Given a choice between being able to hear Terry Allen or Garth Brooks
on the radio, though, well... I'm a happy man.

I can try.  Your spelling is correct.  She has one CD out, called "Lying
to the Moon."  I bought a used copy for $6, and it's worth much more
than that.  It got a favorable review in Stereo Review for whatever
that's worth.  She has a big full voice, and the accompaniment is
excellent.  My favorite song is "Calico Plains."  I think if you like
the artists you mention, you'll like this one too.  I also like Reba
McEntire, Suzy Bogguss, Lorrie Morgan, Tish Hinojosa and Kelly Willis
among female country performers.

-------
Tish Hinojosa is rumoured to be playing in the UK sometime in the new year.
I will certainly be going to those. Have you seen her in concert? 

A video is available for the 'Something in the Rain'. A video collection of
4 of her songs are supposedly available in the UK; I was lucky enough to 
see a very fuzzy poor reception version of her 'In the Real West' song on 
the Country Music TV Europe channel. 

My interest in her music comes more from the folk element side, too. Do you
read the folk/CW magazine 'Dirty Linen'; copies are available over here in
the London shops of 'Virgin Megastore' and 'Tower Records'.

Yes, I would like a list of other artists in a like vein. Most of the 
decent artists from Austin, Texas, etc are just not available over here or
if they are, their records are available in very small quantities. 

Tish Hinojosa has probably only about 10 fans over here in the UK, and that
is quite sad, as she is certainly just as good as the more mainstream artists
like MCCarpenter and Nanci Griffiths. What about Lucinda Williams? She's
pretty good, too.

What I remember from the museum tour (the Jim Reeves museum in Nahvile,
that is) is that he was flying back home to Tennessee in a small private
plane from somewhere out West where he'd been looking at some property.
The plane crashed & burned. This was about 1964.

I share your enthusiasm for Jim Reeves' music. It's always a treat to go
into some old record store and find something of his I've never heard before.
I lucked into three real nice out-of-print albums that way.
 
One of my favorite ballads he did (and I've *got* to teach this to my band)
was one called 'Guilty'. Ever heard it?

I don't know if it was *composed* on guitar, but as I recall from my
``Stories of the Hymns'' book, it was originally *performed* on guitar,
because the organ at <mumble> church in <mumble> Austria was broken.

I can go back and check my reference if anyone cares.

Well, technically Lorrie is not his widow any longer; she has since
remarried, so she is no longer a widow. If I remember correctly she
married Clint Black's bus driver.

: What singer, group, or time brought you to country music? 

  Well, I may be dating myself, but, way back in high school days - my first
  paying job was playing drums in a CW band in a country tavern - $5 a night
  and all the beer I could drink (I was 16!).  Me, the lead singer with a 
  double neck guitar and my best buddy on bass.  It was all the current 
  standard hillbilly shit-kicking stuff with the CW simple cords, progressions,
  and rythms.  Well, I soon slid over into rock playing with the Kingsmen and
  jamming around with the Ventures, Wailers, Blue Notes (local talent) - but
  after I joined the Army - wherever I was stationed (usually in the South)
  a bunch of us guys would get a band together and usually play country.

  So I strayed back and forth depending on how the mood hit me - or the current
  trend of music was going.  

  Today, I play in an R&B band.  I *play* blues - but I *listen* to country.

  What turned me off the Top-40 was rap and the soul-sister singers screeching
  and wailing and rap non-musical blather (sorry, but I can listen to ANY good
  music except rap).

  CW music today, IMHO is good.  The musicians are talented and the music is
  full (there's some tremendous bass talent out there - especially Wynonna
  Judd's bass player - take a listen to some of your favorites and focus on
  the bass line - that's the fullness and richness of the music) 

  So, I listen to our local KMPS (Seattle) and my kids buy me tapes of
  Clint Black, Reba, Judds, Jackson, et al.

  (Well, perhaps some Led Zepplen tossed in once in awhile, or Chris Rea)

  I guess I've really been a country fan all my life - I certainly keep 
  coming back "home" to it.

Like you , I too am a Gary Morris fan, but my attraction to him has been
within the last year or so, even though, I did take a shining to his
singing when he played in the Dynasty series. My favorite songs are "I'll
never stop loving you", "Velvet Chains", "Wind beneath my wings", and
"Lasso the moon". I never heard any singer with a voice like his , and the
versatility of singing C/W and opera. That takes real talent.
As for my adoption into Country Music, it was a little further back, oh I
guess somewhere in the late forties when I acquired a new brother-in-law.
He comes from Iowa and was a heavy lover of C/W music and also played the
guitar. Back then, my favorite singers were the greats like, Hank Sr.,
Ernest Tubbs, Eddy Arnold, Loretta Lynn, and the best woman singer of them
all Patsy Cline. Country music lovers all over the world lost a great voice
in the plane crash. I too drifted away from C/W and someone very,  very
dear to me brought me back to good music.
