| | Genuine Cowhide Modern Sounds In Hillbilly & Western CD Genuine Cowhide Discography of CDs
With this first CD Genuine Cowhide is putting the western back in country & western and might even move cowboy music more toward the front of the Americana scene. "Modern Sounds in Hillbilly & Western" the third release from Austin Texas' Genuine Cowhide Records rides herd through a tangle of modern yet retro Hillbilly, Cowboy, Honky Tonk and Western styles. There's the shuffle-two-step-swing-waltz-rockabilly on into spaghetti western rock and desert instrumental themes from screenplays not yet written. Maybe think BR-549 meets the Sons of the Pioneers in a dusty cowtown on Saturday night--after a Sergio Leone triple feature... Genuine Cowhide features Austin TX writer/vocalist Dale Allen on b-bender Telecaster-dobro-bass 6 and steel guitar...he plays about anything that twangs...with excellent electric bass lines by Charlie Irwin from Boston's Stan Martin band.....native Texan Warren Stewart handles drums on most with a couple from Gary DeVries. Banjo by Bill Lloyd of the Teresa Garner Band and the lovely Jen Obert's fiddle complete the texture under the near bluegrass harmonies and western lyrics that shift from tongue in cheek humor to tortured two-fisted tales.Rounding up some influences hereabouts from---the legendary John Fogerty---as well as cowboy singer Ray Whitley (he wrote "Back in the Saddle Again"---to Lattie Moore from his killer honky tonk era---the Beat Farmers (R.I.P. Country Dick Montana)---plus Ray Price--a little Junior Brown---some Long Ryders---don't forget Buck and Don---HANK (yes, just Hank-no Senior after it please)---and of course Ennio Morricone----and filtering them through an episode of "Rawhide" is where the roundup begins with Genuine Cowhide.A modern vision of the future of traditional and alternative Cowboy & Western--written and played roots/pop style by a seasoned Texas roadhouse band that has the good sense to tear it up once in awhile. Hey-this could be the original form of Americana. Swing a lasso over your own copy of "Modern Sounds in Hillbilly & Western" today and enjoy--and here's wishing ya'll nothing but green grass and good water for the rest of your trail drive!

Starr Padden has been close to jazz for most of her life, and after years compiling fans for her vocal prowess she has finally put her voice to disc. Where years ago one had to go to Los Angeles to make a record - likely under contract to a label - now you can virtually go across the street. Jazz came early, but it was Dixieland at first. "I grew up with Dixieland and standards. My father's family was in vaudeville early and music just seemed to be around us all the time. My sisters and I learned those standards young and I played piano. It was by ear at first, but I had six or seven lessons. I can remember hearing " Bumble Boogie" and listening to my teacher Ida Powell. I still hear better than I read!"Her father's vaudeville career had him playing spoons and doing blackface as Snookums Padden. "He took up trumpet and began playing Dixieland, and that's the direction he went." He had his own bands in the twenties and thirties.Starr moved on though and realizing she was drawn to rhythm and melody began listening to singers like Ella Fitzgerald. " I really liked Ella for her sense of rhythm and her scat vocals. I listened to a variety of vocalists, from Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington to Louis Armstrong and Jack Teagarden - a whole range of styles, including Sarah Vaughn and Rosemary Clooney and I also listened to R&B in the 50's. I discovered singers like Ann Richards, Lee Wiley, early Conee Boswell and Alberta Hunter." "Nancy King is a jazz singer," Starr says. "She's wonderful. She knows how to scat, and puts her stamp on whatever she sings. I don't scat. I love lyrics and I don't do novelty stuff. I like bop but I don't sing it. Give me Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren, Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers. That's where I come from."If piano came early in life, so did singing. "I actually started singing as a kid," she says , "and later was in choirs, doing weddings and funerals. By my late 20's I was singing in clubs. I can remember sitting in at Tuck Lung's down in Chinatown. Pat George played there and he liked what I did. Then I found pianist Eddie Wied and began going to jam sessions which seemed to be going on all the time. The Jazz Quarry: I used to love to sit in there. I miss that club."About this time Starr met Portland (by way of L.A.) trumpeter Basil Clark, who met a tragic end several years later." You know Basil was such a talented guy and his musical knowledge from playing with all the L.A. jazz greats was a great gift. He introduced me to the music of all the horn players he loved, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Miles Davis, Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard. He was the catalyst in my musical life that gave me confidence that I had something to contribute. He told me to find my own voice , to have something to say . We were together four years - until he died in 1985." After that she continued working with the musicians they had performed ...

They say life begins at 40, but for country artist Jeffrey Steele the old adage is only half-true. Before hitting that milestone, the California native had married, was raising four children, and had already carved an interesting and successful life for himself, one that would satisfy any budding songwriter. He had built up such an incredibly strong and thriving career; it seemed he had the Midas touch. Almost everything he wrote turned into a hit, exemplified by one three-year period when almost five-dozen songs were recorded by name artists that included Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis, John Michael Montgomery, Leann Rimes, Diamond Rio, Aaron Tippin, ...
