Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Oklahoma Book Award and the Deems Taylor ASCAP Award for Best Folk, Pop, or Jazz Biography "A beautiful job…In exploring the nuances of Guthrie's work, Cray's exacting style is pitch-perfect." —Los Angeles Times Book Review A patriot and a political radical, Woody Guthrie captured the spirit of his times in his enduring songs. He was marked by the FBI as a subversive. He lived in fear of the fatal fires that stalked his family and of the mental illness that snared his mother. At forty-two, he was cruelly silenced by Huntington’s disease. Ed Cray, the first biographer to be granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archive, has created a haunting portrait of an American who profoundly influenced Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and American popular music itself.

Download or read book Ramblin Jack Elliott written by Hank Reineke and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-12-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American singer and guitarist Ramblin' Jack Elliott (1931- ) is a seminal figure in the folk music revivals of the United States and Great Britain. Declared an American treasure by former President Bill Clinton, Elliott has traveled and performed for more than 50 years, and his life and career neatly parallel the ascension of folk music's 'renaissance' from the 1940s through the present day. Ramblin' Jack Elliott: The Never-Ending Highway is the first complete biography of this important figure in the history of folk music. Elliott's music and Beat-era sensibility influenced countless artists in the fields of folk, rock, and country and western music, and Hank Reineke provides the full story of Elliott's relationships and influences. Most notably, his associations with Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan are well-documented: Elliott is considered Guthrie's most famous protZgZ and Elliott mentored Dylan in his early career. Reineke also recounts how Elliott's life intersected with Derroll Adams, Jack Kerouac and the Beats, Princess Margaret, James Dean, and scores of others. The book examines the full breadth of Elliott's career, discussing how the rough-edged cowboy singer survived in the music industry and eventually won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Recording and the prestigious National Medal of the Arts. In addition to the biography, Reineke has amassed the first exhaustive and comprehensive discography of albums from the singer's notable back-catalog (1955-2009), including nearly 60 LP and CD issues, many rare and sought-after 78rpm discs, EPs, and 45rpm recordings, as well as a number of contributions to compilations, soundtracks, festival recordings, and guest appearances. This impressive volume is rounded out with a bibliography, an index, and more than 30 photographs, making this a must-have for scholars and fans of American folk music.

Book excerpt: This book was prepared by Clyde and Wenogene Rosser, for our children and any other people that might have an interest in reading it. RAMBLIN ON was chosen for the name because that is just what we are doing. The book is in no order. We collected, over a fifty-year period, many items we thought to be of interest to people in all walks of life. At first our idea was to write a sales manual. We later decided to include something for everyone. For the page header my wife thought, "A PATTERN FOR LIVING" would be appropriate. You need a pattern to make a dress, a quilt, and a birdhouse. In fact you need a pattern to do a good job making almost anything. A blue print is a pattern for building a home. Why not a pattern for living which is the most important thing we do? We believe we have in our book many ideas that will help you build a good, strong, prosperous, happy, healthy and enjoyable life. We know it will answer most all the problems you may have. The book is based on belief and the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude. We know it is important to live every minute, every hour and every day with positive expectancy. We believe your attitude controls not only your successful living but also your health. We are supported in our belief by many prominent people who have been leaders in our time and also most of the great men and women history has recorded for a few thousand years. They have contributed many fine ideas that have been proven successful for them and many others who have made good use of them. We know you will enjoy reading and benefiting from these thoughts. Just one idea could give you the extra lift, or push, or belief that will cause you to reach your dream goals. The book is filled with motivational thoughts. It is designed to be opened at any page and read. This will lead you to investigate the other pages. Also you will find an index by page number. The index is not in any order as it follows the book. This is intentional and we think and we hope you will enjoy it this way. We feel certain you will find many things you can relate to. If you feel a lot of it is sales oriented remember sixty percent of the people depend totally or partially on sales for their livelihood and that it is Many topics are covered from how to get along with people to weight control. We hope this material will benefit you. We know it will if you use it. You will find quotes from people such as the following we will list plus others not listed here. We quote, Disraeli, Bovee, Arostle, Corbett, Ford, Edison, Johnson, Lincoln, Schweitzer, Emerson, Plato, Socrates, Apostle Paul, Jesus, Thoreau, Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, King Solomon, Burbank, Kettering, Omar Kahyyam, William James, Galileo, Mark Twain, Kaiser, Voltaire, Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Hugo, Pasteur, Confucius, Dr Oyle, Carlyle, Darwin and Vandyke. This book will be very helpful in rearing children. It will be helpful for anyone in a negotiating position such as union officials, diplomats, managers, salesman, homemakers or business people in any vocation. Successfully Yours, Clyde E.

Download or read book Ramblin Rose written by Jonny Whiteside and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this meticulously researched biography, veteran music journalist Jonny Whiteside recounts the colorful story of this pioneering woman who literally grew up in the male-dominated enclaves of country music and struggled to make a place for herself there. In Rose Maddox, Whiteside has found an exceptional protagonist for his story: a fiery, strong-willed entertainer whose music has had an influence far beyond her handful of hits on the record charts and who in many ways, Whiteside convincingly argues, prefigured the coming of rock and roll. In the process, Whiteside introduces us to a host of memorable characters - stars like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash; behind-the-scenes movers and shakers like record men Cliffie Stone and Bill McCall; and, at the heart of the story, the irrepressible Maddox family themselves, whose freewheeling music so faithfully reflected the hurly-burly world of California's displaced migrant workers.
