Mississippi donate part of their royalties to charity.. Which one(s)?

You can count me as one!  I really liked the stuff he had out in the late
70's & early 80's.  Then he more or less dissappeared from the music scene.
I saw him on a tv special a few months back, but that's been it.  What ever
happened to him?

I think it was Mike Reid.

Yep. Lionel Cartwright. Nice album ("Chasin' the Sun").

Leroy Parnell. One of my favorite songs to sing along with in the car.
Lots of harmony lines to choose from, sort of like in "Third-Rate Romance"
(another great song to sing along with in the car).

Billy Dean, "You Don't Count The Cost", from his self-titled album.

>Any Dan Seals fans out there?

Yes! I have nearly every one of his albums, if not all of them. His
earlier stuff is definitely his best stuff.

Seeing Randy Travis on SNL (I believe it was) got me interested in country 
music.  Oddly enough, since then, I have become more interested in country 
artists that strike me as being less country sounding.  Or with less of 
a twang, anyway.

Organization: University of Texas at San Antonio
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1992 16:06:43 GMT

My choices are:

5.  RHINESTONE COWCHIP / Billy Ray Cyrus & the Chippendale Singers

    The highlight of this release is the cut "Nashville Ninja," on which
    BRC shows the full range of his talent by doing the third chorus with
    an authentic Japanese accent while playing guitar with a clenched fist.

4.  ROCKY TOP / Sylvester Stallone

    Sly does a bang-up job on this one, covering each  winner of the
    "Song of the Year" award over the previous 10 years.  As an added
    bonus, the final cut features a duo of Sly and Sly, through the magic
    of electronics, doing "God Bless America"  as both Rocky Balboa and
    John Rambo.  Priceless.

3.  WHO AM I NOW? / Michael Martin Murphy

    Still searching for true identity, MMM may have found it in this collection
    of Urdu folk music and anti-bullfight songs.  Don't miss the memorable cuts
    of "A Band Beats a Banderilla Every Time,"  and "I'm On Toro's Side."

2.  HOT YOUNG COUNTRY SALUTES THE OLD FOLKS / Kathy Mattea

    Kathy's long-awaited tribute to the Dinosaurs.  In addition to reprising
    two of her biggest Old Folks hits, "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses,"
    and "Where've You Been,"  this top Nashville songstress adds to the appeal
    of the album with her unique rendition of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at
    Home," as well as finishing off the session with a hilarious rendition of
    Mel Brooks' monologue "The 2000 Year-Old Man."

                  AND THE NUMBER ONE ALBUM OF THE YEAR IS......

1.  STOMPIN' AT THE RYMAN / The Solid Gold Dancers

    This moving tribute to Country Music will just carry you away.  Every
    footfall in the SGD's intricate Country routines is reproduced in
    remarkable clarity.  You can sense the excitement as the kids sling
    hair to "Cotton-Eyed Joe."  The emotion is palpable as these new stars
    of the genre go through reverent paces to "The Great Speckled Bird."
    And the racuous good-time gettin' with it on "San Antonio Rose" HAD
    to be what Bob Wills had in mind.  Don't miss the liner notes on this
    one, either, written by Boopsie Bartholemew of the troupe.  (If you
    watched the show the other night, Boopsie was the blonde with her thumb
    hooked in her belt).  Boopsie puts it all in perspective when she writes:

    "A lot of these singers are dead, but as long as their music is alive,
    we like to think that it can be danced to and sung. This is our way of
    saying 'We Love You.' "

As Peter Shenkin noted, the Bear Family releases are expensive because
they're German imports.  (Don't worry, though, the books are in English!)
I don't know what that guy is talking about about a book that counts as
one CD -- that seems weird, maybe for shipping purposes it would count 
as one.  In any case, $85 is not out of line for one of Bear Family's
4 CD sets.  I've seen them in stores for as much as $100.  County Sales,
last I checked, was charging $70 for equivalent sets, so you might want
to give them a call and see if they have the Wanda Jackson in stock:

County Sales:  (703) 745-2001

(Disclaimer:  I don't get paid by County Sales, quite the opposite. :)

For what it's worth, the Bear Family releases that I've seen are all
very well done, in terms of sound, completeness and packaging.  Consider
that those 4 CDs are almost certainly each 70+ minutes long, so you're
getting close to 5 hours of music.

I have not read anything that duplicates my experience, so I
will add another data point.

Growing up in South Texas in the early 60s, I just naturally
found that cowboy songs greatly interested me.  Marty Robbins,
Sons of the Pioneers, even Roy Rogers.  I remember being a
real fan of Roger Miller during his meteoric mid-60s career.
The next big kick came during the "Outlaw" phase of the 70s
(Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson).  Somewhere in there,
I started going back to the older stuff (Hank Sr., Jimmie
Rodgers, Carter Family, Bob Wills, Patsy Cline), and new
stuff started tying in with that (Ricky Skaggs, George Strait,
Reba McIntire).  Nowadays, there is a lot of experimentation
going on with people stretching the form.  Some is good and
some is not, but that is the nature of experimentation.
And I still like cowboy music (Ian Tyson is great).

entitled "Hearts in Armor" and I believe Victim of the Game is on it.
Also, would you let me know if you received this response, and let

At least we now can all sleep better knowing that the Solid Gold
Dancers are still alive and well!

I enjoyed Pam Tillis and Suzy Boggus the most.  I also enjoyed Vince Gill -
don't know what it is about his voice but something really gets to me.
I thought "Love Me" was done very well, and yes, even the Garth-man did
a great job.  My brother, though, said the only song with yodeling in it
that should be allowed on TV is "The Lonely Goatherd" from "Sound of Music!"
BTW any show that drops Nanci Griffith's name and has Allison Krause in
it is OK by me.

The other thing about the show I liked as opposed to other music shows is
that, unless I'm mistaken, everything was done live ie. no lip synching.
I thought some of the camera cuts were a bit choppy - makes me think that
they either spliced multiple takes of a song, or somebody did a sloppy
job in the editing room.

Alabama nudged me, but Randy Travis really brought me in.  And don't
think it was easy ignoring country music while growing up just outside
Nashville; I just didn't care for the hairspray and rhinestone acts of
the late 70's.

As everyone else has already said, this is on her first (self-titled)
album.

I believe also on this particular program, she sang a song about being
able to go to work to help forget about a lost love.  This doesn't
seem to be on her new album.  Anyone know if she has any plans to release
it?  (the VHS tape is wearing out ;)

I don't have them on the top of my head, but I do know that isn't the
Garth-man's song, it belongs to Billy Joel. Garth's version is good, but it's
very hard to beat someone who sings their own song, there's just more emotion.

I'll try and bring my CD cover next time and get the lyrics for you if nobody
has yet.

Good luck,

   Oh the horror, oh the shame! Mentioning Billy Ray and Ricky in the same
breath. Would have to say they have nothing in comon but the accent bit, and the
three part name thing, too. On No.2, the three times I have seen Ricky in
concert, he has always been dressed...nicely, dressed up for the crowd I suppose
you could say. 
   On No. 3, I personaly don't think thanking women for throwing underwear on
stage counts for charm. What draws people to Ricky is his down-to-earth
personality. Do you see Billy Ray as the kind of guy who would write a
children's book "A Duck Named Quacker"?
   No. 4, Billy Ray seems to appeal to screaming teenager and college age fans,
while Ricky appeals to both men and women who appreciate his music and not his
butt's view.
   You saved yourself on No. 5, and I think it's very doubtful that Billy Ray
will ever win the CMA male vocalist of the year, as Ricky did.
   I hope that wasn't taken in a bad way, I just have to stick up for my main
man.

When I was growing up in the early 70's, I used to listen to some 
Hank Williams, Sr. albums that belong to my father.  I really could
identify with Hank's music, and He (intentionally capitalized--someone 
of his greatness deserves the distinction) continues to be on of my 
favorite artists of all time.

However, the one who really got me started to listening to country music
was PATTY LOVELESS.  I saw Patty singing "Blue Side Of Town" and "Don't
Toss Us Away" one night on the Grand Ole Opry Live that comes on on Sat.
nights on TNN.  Every since that night, I have been a big fan of Patty's 
and of country music.
