John Fahey

**John Aloysius Fahey** (February 28, 1939 – February 22, 2001) was an American fingerstyle guitarist and composer who played the steel-string acoustic guitar as a solo instrument. His style has been enormously influential and has been described as the foundation of the genre of American primitive guitar, a term borrowed from painting and referring mainly to the self-taught nature of the music and its minimalist style. Fahey borrowed from the folk and blues traditions in American roots music, having compiled many forgotten early recordings in these genres. He would later incorporate 20th-century classical, Portuguese, Brazilian, and Indian influences into his work.

Fahey spent many of his later years in poverty and poor health, but enjoyed a minor career resurgence in the late 1990s, with a turn towards the avant-garde. He also created a series of abstract paintings in his final years. Fahey died in 2001 from complications from heart surgery. In 2003, he was ranked 35th on Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list.

John Fahey's material was played on Kershaw's shows including a session for his programme in 1987. In the late 90's, Kershaw invited the musician to do another session for his programme, which he did, but was never put on the airwaves. On his 06 June 2003 show, Kershaw explained that during that late 90's session, Fahey brought a guitar with no strings and a radio assistant had to go to Denmark Street in London to get some strings for the musician to play. After getting the strings ready and tuning on the guitar for so long and making noises, the producer asked Fahey when he'll be ready to record the session and the musician told him that was it. Kershaw later revealed that the session was so bad that it was never broadcast.

Highway 61 Fifty Years On

**Highway 61 Fifty Years On** is a BBC Radio 4 documentary broadcast in 2015.

## Links to Kershaw

Andy Kershaw re-examines the Bob Dylan album that changed popular music and his life.

Beginning with the resounding hit of a snare drum, Like A Rolling Stone starts Bob Dylan's first fully electrified album, Highway 61 Revisited. When he first heard the song in his mother's car, Bruce Springsteen said it was "like somebody kicked open the door to your mind." The album represents the birth of rock music, as opposed to the pop or beat music that preceded its release.

It sounds as subversive now as it did fifty years ago.

Besides revolutionising popular music, the album transformed the life of broadcaster Andy Kershaw. For him, nothing would be the same after Highway 61.

Andy travels to America to meet the surviving musicians and hear the extraordinary stories behind the recording sessions. Dylan was only 24 years old when he walked into Columbia Studio A in New York City to record the album in June 1965. For a masterpiece record, it is all the more remarkable that almost no preparation, and absolutely no rehearsal, went into it.

Al Kooper, who was brought in as an observer, tells how he mistakenly and fortunately found himself playing the organ on Like A Rolling Stone, discovering the song's melody on the spot. Bassist Harvey Brooks talks about the patience that was required to work with the unorthodox Dylan. Legendary Nashville musician Charlie McCoy describes how he was accidentally brought in to play the memorable Spanish-sounding guitar on Desolation Row. And Keith Richards provides a surprising take on Highway 61's legacy.

Little Richard

**Richard Wayne Penniman** (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), known as **Little Richard**, was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades. Nicknamed "The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll," Richard's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll. Richard's innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including soul and funk. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from rock to hip hop; his music helped shape rhythm and blues for generations.

## Links to Kershaw

Andy Kershaw mentioned an event where he was chased by Little Richard in the studio:

> *"One evening, I was in my studio preparing for my show about an hour before going live. In the studio next door, separated by a pane of glass, my colleague Janice Long had Little Richard in as an interviewee. Now, I consider him and Jerry Lee Lewis to be the most important figures in rock ’n’ roll. I was, thus, gawping through the glass into the studio. The figure with Janice was tiny, apparently female and about 23. (He was 54.) Paying attention was a mistake. Impish eyes flashed my way. ‘Oh, my!’ I heard Richard over the intercom. ‘Now, who’s that purty young thang through there?’ While Janice was giggling, Little Richard was out of his seat and in a trice in my studio, his live radio interview forgotten. ‘Well, hiiiiii!’ he trilled. And lunged. I swerved away. He scampered after me. I stopped. He feigned to go one way round the consoles, then, laughing, the other. After a few seconds, I got to the door and made good my escape as the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll was steered back to his studio by an unflappable minder."* [1]

Despite the event, Kershaw continued playing Little Richard's music on his shows.

Hank Williams Jr.

**Randall Hank Williams** (born May 26, 1949), known professionally as **Hank Williams Jr.** or **Bocephus**, is an American singer-songwriter and musician. His musical style is often considered a blend of Southern rock, blues, and country. He is the son of country music legend Hank Williams.

Williams began his career following in his famed father's footsteps, covering his father's songs and imitating his father's style. Williams' first television appearance was in a 1964 episode of ABC's The Jimmy Dean Show, in which at age fourteen he sang several songs associated with his father. Later that year, he was a guest star on Shindig!.

Williams' style evolved slowly as he struggled to find his own voice and place within country music. This was interrupted by a near-fatal fall off the side of Ajax Peak in Montana on August 8, 1975. After an extended recovery, he challenged the country music establishment with a blend of country, rock, and blues. As a multi-instrumentalist, Williams' repertoire of skills includes guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, steel guitar, banjo, dobro, piano, keyboards, saxophone, harmonica, fiddle, and drums.

From 1989 through October 2011, his song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight", refashioned as "All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night", had been used to open broadcasts of Monday Night Football until it was pulled after Williams made controversial and widely criticized comments comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The song returned to open the show in 2017 although it was temporarily removed in 2020.

On August 12, 2020, Williams was selected to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

His daughter Katherine Williams-Dunning, the only one of Williams's five children not to pursue a career in music, died on June 13, 2020, in a car crash at the age of 27. His son Shelton performs as Hank Williams III; his other children Holly Williams, Hilary Williams and Sam Williams are also musicians, as is his grandson Coleman Williams (Hank III's son), who performs under the sobriquet "IV."

Kershaw played a tune of Hank Williams Jr, after playing a song from his father on his 3rd April 1986 show. However, compared to his father, Hank Williams Jr's music has not had much airplay on Kershaw's shows.

Flatlanders

**The Flatlanders** are an American country band from Lubbock, Texas, United States, founded in 1972 by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock. The group garnered little success during their brief original incarnation from 1972 to 1973, but when the individual members found success in their solo careers, interest in The Flatlanders was rekindled with the band reuniting several times since. An earlier incarnation of this band was known as The Double Mountain Fork Of The Brazos River Boys.

Joe Ely

**Joe Ely** (born February 9, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist whose music touches on honky-tonk, Texas Country, Tex-Mex and rock and roll.

He has had a genre-crossing career, performing with Bruce Springsteen, Uncle Tupelo, Los Super Seven, The Chieftains and James McMurtry in addition to his early work with The Clash and more recent acoustic tours with Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, and Guy Clark.

Ely spent his formative years from age 12 in Lubbock, Texas, and attended Monterey High School.

In 1970, with fellow Lubbock musicians Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock, he formed the Flatlanders. According to Ely, "Jimmie [Gilmore] was like a well of country music. He knew everything about it. And Butch was from the folk world. I was kinda the rock & roll guy, and we almost had a triad. We hit it off and started playing a lot together. That opened up a whole new world I had never known existed."

In 1972, the band recorded their first album. Since the band's initial breakup just after their first album was cut, the three musicians have followed individual paths, but have appeared together on each other's albums. They reformed for 2002's Now Again.

The Politics Of Pop

**The Politics of Pop** was a BBC Radio 1 documentary broadcast in 1990.

## Links to Kershaw

From Glasgow, as part of Radio Goes to Town. Andy Kershaw talks to pop stars including Public Enemy, Kirsty McColl and Billy Bragg about the politics of pop. And he's joined by local musicians and fans for a fierce argument:

Should pop stars use their musical success as a platform for their politics? Why aren't there more right-wing bands around? And should Radio 1 balance every left-wing song with a right-wing one?

Smiths

**The Smiths** were an indie English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. Consisting of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce, critics consider the band one of the most important to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.

The Smiths were signed to the independent label Rough Trade Records. Based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Marr, the Smiths' focus on a guitar, bass, and drum sound, and fusion of 1960s rock and post-punk, were a rejection of the synth-pop sound that was predominant at the time. Marr's Rickenbacker guitar work was reminiscent of the jangle pop sound of Roger McGuinn from the Byrds. Morrissey's complex, literate lyrics combined themes of ordinary lives with mordant humour.

Several Smiths singles reached the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart and all their studio albums reached the top five of the UK Albums Chart, including the number-one album Meat Is Murder (1985). They achieved mainstream success in Europe with The Queen Is Dead (1986) and Strangeways, Here We Come (1987), both of which entered the top 20 of the European Albums Chart. Internal tensions led to their breakup in 1987, followed by lawsuits over royalties; the band have refused offers to reunite. Their live album Rank (1988) reached the top 10 in Europe.

## Links to Kershaw

When introducing The Smiths on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1986, this is what he described them:

> *"Last night I sat down and tried to make a list of the truly great British bands of the 1980s. Bands whose recordings and influence would endure. After nearly an hour I was staring at a sheet of paper with only one name on it.” That name was The Smiths."*
>
>

Although he played The Smiths in the 80's, by the time the 90's arrived, he rarely played their material on his programmes.

In 2015, Andy Kershaw interviewed Johnny Marr on The One Show about the guitarist, Bert Jansch.

They became known internationally after singing with Paul Simon on his 1986 album *Graceland*, and have won multiple awards, including five Grammy Awards, dedicating their fifth Grammy to the late former President Nelson Mandela.

Formed by Joseph Shabalala in 1960, Ladysmith Black Mambazo became one of South Africa's most prolific recording artists, with their releases receiving gold and platinum disc honours. The group became a mobile academy of South African cultural heritage through their African indigenous *isicathamiya* music.
