Nathan Stanley Looks To Build Upon 2011 Success
Nathan Stanley Looks To Build Upon 2011 Success
Nobody sounds like Nathan Stanley ... and Nathan Stanley sounds like nobody. His mournful velvet voice captures the listener from the first note. Making a major comeback to Inspirational Country Radio, his new debut single, "Hand In Hand With Jesus," is considered Inspirational Country Gold.
Closing out 2011, Nathan Stanley has garnered a No. 1 single on the Power Source Inspirational Country charts with the haunting classic "White Dove" accompanied by his friend and Country music legend Vince Gill, and he was a Top Five nominee for the ICM Faith, Family & Country™ Inspirational Bluegrass Artist of the Year.
He has traveled thousands of miles with his legendary iconic grandfather Dr. Ralph Stanley as lead singer for the Clinch Mountain Boys. He is back and better than ever with a heart for Inspirational Country Music, a new tour manager and a renewed desire to make a difference with his solo career. By popular demand from his fans, he is in the studio recording his latest project to be released in early 2012.
Here are also quotes from his January Ad:
"Nate's version of "Hand In Hand With Jesus" makes me want to tighten my grip. This is a standout cut, and I know he's making Dr. Ralph proud. I'm a big fan!"
- T. Graham Brown
"Nathan's pure, pristine, soft-spoken passionate voice takes me back to songs my mama used to sing, and makes me want to go back and explore every blade of Bluegrass and experience every memory, every word and note of every song with a new ear and new open heart! Thank you Nathan for reconnecting me to my roots!"
- Jeff Bates

12.01.2012: CD Veröffentlichung / News / TV Hinweise / Konzerttermine / Videos Deutschland Teil 3
 | Ed SheeranSingle: Lego House In diesem Jahr startet er auch in Deutschland durch! Ed Sheeran, der Shooting Star des letzten Jahres, rollt mit seiner, in England gestarteten, Erfolgswelle nun auch durch Deutschland und veröffentlicht, nach „The A Team“ nun den Track „Lego House“, der in seine Heimat bereits die Top 10 der Charts erobert hat. Die zweite Singleauskopplung vom Debütalbum „+“, welches bei uns am 10. Februar veröffentlicht wird und in England bereits Doppel-Platin erreicht hat, besticht mit folkigen Klängen und reichlich Gefühl. Für das Video zum Song hat sich Ed prominente Unterstützung eines befreundeten Rotschopfs geholt: Rupert Grint, bekannt als Ron Weasley aus den Harry Potter Filmen, übernimmt die Hauptrolle im Video zu „Lego House“, welches innerhalb kürzester Zeit die 7 Miollionen-views-Grenze bei YouTube sprengte. Für Ed Sheeran war es ein phänomenales Jahr und was das Ausnahmetalent in seiner Heimat erreicht hat ist mehr als rekordverdächtig: Drei Singles in den Top 10 sicherte sich der Musiker ebenso souverän wie Platz 1 mit seinem Debütalbum und den Q-Award als bester Newcomer 2011. Mit knapp 20 Jahren hat Ed Sheeran in seiner Heimat bereits alles erreicht und sich damit den Status als einer der besten Singer/Songwriter, die die Insel in den letzten Jahren hervorgebracht hat, redlich verdient. |
 | Jason DeruloSingle: Breathing (Michael Mind Radio Edit) "The sky is the limit", sagt JASON DERULO und präsentiert sein schönstes Gewinnerlächeln. Und tatsächlich ist der US-Popstar momentan durch absolut nichts und niemanden zu stoppen: Während seine Comeback-Single "Don`t Wanna Go Home" gerade vergoldet wurde und auch der Nachfolgetrack "It Girl" beste Aussichten auf baldigen Edelmetall-Status besitzt, wurde der 22-jährige Megastar vom renommierten People Magazine zum "Man Of The Year 2011" gekürt! Zwischendurch hat das charismatische Energiebündel fast im Vorbeigehen das "X Factor"-Haus als auch die MTV Awards mit seinen atemberaubenden Performances an den Rand des Ausnahmezustands gerockt - und legt nun mit "Breathing" die dritte Auskopplung aus seinem aktuellen Chartbreaker-Album "Future History" vor! Was das Erfolgsgeheimnis seines untrüglichen Gespürs für Superhits ist, das kann JASON DERULO selbst nicht so genau sagen. "Schon während ich die ersten Zeilen eines Songs schreibe, kann ich fühlen, ob er später ein Hit wird oder nicht", beschreibt der Sänger und Tänzer sein sprichwörtlich goldenes Händchen für die heißesten Vibes, die derzeit sämtliche Clubs zwischen Reykjavik und Tokio zum Überkochen bringen. "Die Hauptsache ist jedoch, dass ich die Menschen mit meinen Tracks berühre!" So wie auf "Breathing", JASONS exotischer Liebeserklärung mit erhöhtem Suchtfaktor. Sexy, catchy und einfach unnachahmlich DERULO - so muss Popmusik heute klingen: Ein Stück, das durch die studioeigene Beluga Heights-Hitmaschine geschickt und schließlich mit JASON DERULOs typischen Soundtrademarks zu einem potenziellen weiteren Chartkracher veredelt wurde. |
 | KIMBRASingle: Settle Down (Radio Edit) Nach „Somebody That I Used To Know“: Der Shootingstar aus Neuseeland mit eigener Single „Settle Down“ |
 | SOKOSingle: First Love Never Die „First Love Never Die“ heißt die erste Single des mit Spannung erwarteten Erstlingswerks von SOKO „I Thought I Was An Alien“ - ein Albumtitel, der beim ersten Lesen vor allem eines klingt: Abenteuerlich. Und ein Titel, der spätestens nach dem ersten Hören absolut Sinn ergibt, auch wenn er rein gar nichts mit einschlägigen Erstmomentsassoziationen wie den Men In Black, H. R. Giger oder Erich von Däniken, zu tun hat. Wirklich nicht. Auch der Künstlername des französischen Enfant extraordinaire hat nicht das Geringste mit irgendwelchen Sonderkommissionen und ähnlichen elitären Einheiten gemein. Trotzdem ist SOKOs Debütalbum genau so spannend! Ihr erstes Album ist bis zum Rand angefüllt mit Liebe und Leid, mit jenen verdammten, fundamentalen und prägenden Emotionen, die so oft verschwiegen werden, aber Stephanie Sokolinski alias SOKO hat die seltene Gabe, ganz offen und frei über diese Dinge zu singen. Gefühlvoll und verwirrend. So, dass man manchmal nicht recht unterscheiden kann, ob ihre Stimmung nun der dunkle Tunnel, oder vielleicht eher der Lichtstrahl am Ende desselbigen ist. „Im Grunde ist alles, was ich tue, mich auf meiner Gitarre ausheulen“, erklärt SOKO. Und lächelt. Mit ihrem schmeichelnden, sexy, crazy, funny, tränenreichen, herzbrechenden, explosiven Lo-Fi-Sound Mash Up hat SOKO noch vor Veröffentlichung eines offiziellen Tonträgers eine mehr als beachtliche Online-Fanbase aufgebaut und tausende von faszinierten Zuhörern auf ihren weltweiten Gigs verzaubert. Angefangen mit nur ihrer Stimme, einer alten Gitarre und dem berüchtigten Garage Band-Programm auf ihrem Laptop, entwickelte sich SOKO schnell zu einer außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin, die viel zu sagen hatte. Von anfänglichen Stories über Sex, Romantik, Eifersucht oder Depressionen ebenso wie über Erdnussbutter oder Katzen und Tiger bis hin zu „I Thought I Was An Alien“. Nach ihrem Umzug nach Paris avancierte sie zum unfreiwilligen Shootingstar bei deutschen, belgischen, französischen und australischen Radiostationen, die ihre Demos auch ohne ihr Zutun als ‚next big pop thing‘ abfeierten. 2007 schließlich der Ritterschlag of High Fashion, als Designerin und Beatles-Tochter Stella McCartney SOKOs Songs als Soundtrack für ihre Pariser Runway-Schauen einsetzte. Was folgte waren gemeinsame Auftritte mit Hipstern wie Daniel Johnston, M.I.A., den Babyshambles, Adam Green und Jeffrey Lewis - um nur einige zu nennen! |
 | Chris IsaakAlbum: Beyond The Sun (Collectors Edition) CHRIS ISAAK geht an seine Wurzeln! Auf seinem neuen Album widmet er sich dem Repertoire der legendären SUN-Studios, aus denen in den fünfziger Jahren Weltstars wie Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, , Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins und Jerry Lee Lewis hervorgegangen sind. Unter der Ägide des Producers Sam Philips wurden die SUN-Studios zum „Birthplace of Rock’n’Roll“ - und was liegt näher, als dass ein CHRIS ISAAK, der mit den Ohren am Rock’n’Roll-Radio aufgewachsen ist, sich eben jenen Klassikern widmet, welche die Türen zu dem aufgestoßen haben, was wir heute Rock und Pop nennen? Insgesamt 25 Songs (plus zwei Eigenkompositionen und einem alternativen Mix) hat ISAAK für Beyond The Sun herausgepickt, die er zwar so originalgetreu wie möglich, aber mit seinem typischen CHRIS ISAAK-Charme neu aufgenommen hat. Und wie immer beweist CHRIS ISAAK viel Geschmack und ein untrügliches Gespür für die perfekte Songauswahl: Die Spanne reicht von Elvis‘ erster Aufnahme My Happiness und seiner ersten Chart-Number #1 I Forgot To Remember To Forget über Johnny Cashs Ring Of Fire und I Walk The Line bis hin zu Jimmy Wages‘ fast vergessenem Miss Pearl, Roy Orbisons So Long I’m Gone und Carl Perkins‘ Dixie Fried. Und natürlich hat CHRIS ISAAK auch eine eigene Nummer zugefügt, nämlich das an Rick Nelson erinnernde Livin‘ It Up. |
 | Christina PerriAlbum: lovestrong. Die Reihe der Erfolgsmeldungen für CHRISTINA PERRI reißen auch im neuen Jahr nicht ab – nachdem ihre internationale Erfolgssingle „Jar Of Hearts“ (mittlerweile weltweit über 4,3 Millionen verkaufte Einheiten und 3fach Platin in U.S., Australien und Irland // 2fach Platin in Kanada // Gold in UK) Anfang Dezember auch hierzulande veröffentlicht wurde, gelang nun im Januar die Punktlandung auf #10 der dt. Single Charts. Tendenz steigend! Christina Perri, eine Singer/Songwriterin und Musikerin, die es gewohnt war, sich durchbeißen und kämpfen zu müssen, hatte im Juli 2010 einen Moment, der ihr Leben veränderte. Sie wurde gebeten, einen Song, den sie geschrieben hatte – die trotzige Beziehungsende-Hymne „Jar Of Hearts“ –, in der FOX-Show So You Think You Can Dance zu performen. Der raue emotionale Gehalt ihrer Performance erreichte die Zuschauer und schleuderte die 24-Jährige aus Philadelphia in den Blickpunkt der Öffentlichkeit. „Jar Of Hearts“ erreichte über eine Million Downloads und brachte Perri, die sich zu der Zeit als Café-Managerin in Beverly Hills durchschlug, einen Deal mit Atlantic Records ein. „Jar Of Hearts“ ist nur einer von zwölf brutal ehrlichen kleinen Edelsteinen, die Perri auf ihrem Debütalbum lovestrong. versammelt hat – ein Titel, der laut Perri widerspiegelt, wie sich ihr Herz heute anfühlt. „Ich betrachte das Album als Ganzes, und die beiden vorherrschenden Themen waren Liebe und Stärke“, sagt sie. „Das Album fand seinen Titel von selbst. Über Liebe zu schreiben, das macht mich aus. Ich habe versucht, über andere Dinge zu schreiben, aber letztlich kommt genau das aus mir heraus.“ lovestrong. ist ein Seelenstriptease. Ihre sich empor schraubende, bittersüße Stimme und ihr ausdrucksstarkes Pianospiel sind das Malwerkzeug für ihre Storys. Manche, wie „Penguin“ und „Arms“, haben Frohsinn und Hoffnung, manche, etwa „Bang Bang Bang“ und „Mine“, machen Spaß und sind verspielt, wieder andere, man nehme „The Lonely“ und „Jar Of Hearts“, schnüren einem beinahe die Luft ab. Perri gibt lovestrong.s hoffnungsvollen Ton mit dem Titel „Arms“ vor, einem hoch aufragenden, von Akustikgitarre getriebenen Song, der in ein dringliches Crescendo mündet, während sich seine Geschichte um den Kampf zwischen Herz und Verstand entfaltet.Das Album, welches bei uns am 27. Januar 2012 erscheinen wird, stieg auf einem sensationellen Platz 4 der US Billboard-Charts ein und erzielte Top Ten-Platzierungen in UK, Irland und Australien. „Es passiert jeden Tag etwas, das mich umhaut“, sagt Christina Perri. „Aufzuwachen und Musik spielen zu können ist mehr, als ich mir je erträumt hätte. Ich freue mich darauf, mit der Welt meine Erfahrungen zu teilen, meine Hoffnung, meine Stärke, meinen Mumm und mein Herz.“ |
 | B.o.BSingle: Play The Guitar (feat. André 3000) Multi - Talent und Multi - Instrumentalist: B.O.B legte gerade erst mit „Strange Clouds“ eine US # 7 Chartplatzierung hin und feuert jetzt schon den Ohrwurmverdächtigen Nachfolger „PLAY THE GUITAR“ heraus! Supportet wird er dabei von US MC, OUTKAST Member & „Sexiest Vegetarian Alive“ André 3000. Coole Beats, coole Lyrics und ein paar Gitarren Riffs - der Song groovt! |
 | FanfarloSingle: Shiny Things (Radio Edit) Mit ihrem 2009er Debüt "Reservoir" hat die britische Indiepop-Formation Fanfarlo erstmals wohltuend auf sich aufmerksam gemacht - auf dem Nachfolgewerk stoßen die Londoner nun die Türen zu einer neuen Dimension auf. Durch ganze "Rooms Filled With Light" führen Simon Balthazar, Cathy Lucas, Justin Finch, Amos Memon und Leon Beckenham auf ihrem neuen Album - in mal lichtdurchflutete, aufregende Säle, mal kleine verspielte Themenzimmer mit unaufgeräumten Ecken aus Folk, Indie Rock, Pop und Post Punk. |
 | Patrizio BuanneSingle: Du Warst Das Boot Auf Dem Meer Der Farben „Du warst das Boot auf dem Meer der Farben“, die erste Radiosingle aus Patrizio Buannes erstem deutschsprachigem Album Wunderbar welches am 27. Januar 2012 veröffentlicht wird. Mit seinem ersten Album „The Italian“ stürmte PATRIZIO bereits 2005 in die weltweiten Verkaufscharts. Binnen weniger Wochen erlangte dieses Album Goldstatus in Großbritannien, Österreich und Finnland; Platin in Neuseeland, Hongkong, Singapur, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan; Doppelplatin in Südafrika und sogar 3-fach Platin in Australien. Auch die zwei nachfolgenden Alben 2007 „Forever begins tonight“ und 2009 „Patrizio“ platzierten sich umgehend in die TOP 5 der genannten Landes- und Verkaufscharts (Platz 5 der US-Charts) und wurden nicht nur mit Gold und Platin ausgezeichnet, sondern sicherten ihm bis heute jedes Jahr eine Tour mit Orchester und Band in ausverkauften Häusern wie der Royal Albert Hall, der Oper in Sydney, dem Chicago Theatre oder dem Lincoln Centre in New York. |
 | Gym Class HeroesSingle: Ass Back Home Die erste Singleauskopplung „Stereo Hearts“ mit den Guestvocals von Superstar Adam Levine von Maroon5 ist noch gar nicht richtig aus unseren Ohren, da präsentieren die Eastcoast-Buddies schon die zweite hitverdächtige Single. „Ass Back Home“ heißt der neue Smash-Hit aus dem Hause Gym Class Heroes und erscheint am 24. Februar. Auch dieser Song ist absolut Ohrwurmverdächtig und wird den ohnehin schon gefühlten Frühling sicher in einen heißen Sommer verwandeln! Gym Class Heroes Frontmann Travie McCoy, der uns allen noch von seinem Mega-Soloalbum „Lazarus“ aus dem Jahre 2010 bzw. der Über-Übersingle „Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars)“ samt anschließender Deutschland-Tour mehr als in bester Erinnerung geblieben ist, beweist mit dem kommenden Album mal wieder, dass er ein ganz Großer seiner Zunft ist! Mit ihrem bereits fünften Album „Papercut Chronicles II“, welches am 9. März erscheinen wird, macht die längst zum Kult avancierte Band heute da weiter, wo man 2008 mit dem Top 20-Vorgänger „The Quilt“ in Höchstform aufgehört hat. Funky HipPop für verliebte Jungs und Mädels; eben genau der Sound der Straße und der Clubs. Chilly, catchy und ein kleines bisschen dirty. Ihre erste Single „Stereo Hearts“ schaffte es easy in die Top 10 der weltweiten Singlecharts und das Video wurde bisher über 7 Millionen Mal auf YouTube geklickt. „Ass Back Home“ verspricht an die Erfolge von „Stereo Hearts“ anzuknüpfen und wird sicher für viel Bewegung auf den Tanzflächen sorgen. Nachdem sich die berüchtigten Gym Class Heroes in der Vergangenheit bereits von Special Guests wie Busta Rhymes, The Dream, Estella oder zuletzt Maroon5-Frontmann Adam Levine den einen oder anderen Hit veredeln ließen, bat man bei „Ass Back Home“ nun Neon Hitch ans Mikrofon, die für einen absoluten Ohrwurmrefrain sorgt. Der totale Wahnsinn! |
 | VariousAlbum: Big City Bar 4 36 Bossa Soul & Jazz Flavoured Late Night Classics |
 | Various ArtistsAlbum: Love Ballads Es gibt einen Tag für die Mutter und einen für den Vater. Es gibt einen Tag für die Nation und einen Tag für die Besinnlichkeit. Es gibt für alles auf der Welt einen Tag, aber der romantischste von ihnen ist der 14. Februar - der Valentinstag, an dem man seinem oder seiner Geliebten Blumen, Pralinen und am besten ganz viel Zeit und Zärtlichkeit schenkt! Damit man an diesem Tag, der ja meistens leider ein ganz normaler Arbeitstag ist, keine Zeit verschwendet und gleich vom ersten Moment an genießen kann, gibt es die Doppel-CD Love Ballads Vol. 2 mit den 40 schönsten Liebesballaden. Für jene Tage im Jahr, an dem man sein Glück in den Armen hält, ohne sich ablenken zu lassen. Love Ballads Vol. 2 enthält die 40 schönsten und romantischsten Songs, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten geschrieben oder gesungen wurden. Songs, die Erinnerungen hervorrufen, und einem das Gefühl vermitteln, ganz dicht bei seinem Schatz zu sein - egal wo. |
 | VariousAlbum: Karneval Kult Hits Bald ist es wieder soweit: Die Jecken und Narren übernehmen die Straße und Säle, in Köln ruft man „Alaaf!“, in Mainz „Helau!“ und in der Pfalz schallt ein fröhliches „Ahoi!“ durch die Städte. Mit anderen Worten: Es darf gefeiert werden! Eine Woche lang und ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste! Ob man es nun Karneval, Fasching oder Fastnacht nennt, es ist Ballermann, Aprés Ski und Liga-Party auf einmal - nur viel bunter, schöner und ausgelassener. Ebenso ausgelassen wie das Doppel-Album Karneval Kult Hits, das uns mit 42 euphorischen Stimmungssongs durch die tollen Tage führt! Wer sich also jetzt schon rüsten möchte in Sachen "unverzichtbare Stimmungs-Aufheller", der ist mit dieser Kopplung bestens gerüstet. |

Steel Guitar News January 12th 2012
Hello fellow players,
I just talked to the Jackson Guitar Company on the phone and the president, David Jackson said he’s excited about the new guitar they have coming out and to be looking for across the board great deals on any new Jackson guitars sold through dealers. The new guitar I’ve been talking to David about for several years now appears as though it’s going to be a genuine little monster. Light weight, inexpensive and very affordable with all the professional amenities.
Since I am a Mullen dealer also, this wonderful little company is also coming out with a new cable operated steel guitar. I’m very much looking forward to seeing all the differences in these two new steel guitars. Mullen has hardly ever done anything wrong, always designed and built great steel guitars. Between these two great builders and the very successful GFI company, we should have the entire gamut totally covered.
The good thing here is we are looking forward to our next big manufacturer’s party for the public which will be showing off these guitars for all you folks that are Nashville’s greatest friends. Anybody who is interested in new guitars and new designs and anything that is pushing our little world forward is welcome to attend. I’m sure there will be plenty of great food, astounding steel guitar players and elbow rubbing between all steel guitar players and the builders.
The last party we threw three years ago was extremely successful with Nashville star singers, players and many steel players from across the United States that helped us eat all the great food which unfortunately we had some left over at the end of the day. Be looking for a notice coming out on this soon.
Again I am being asked questions, some of the most common ones I’ll do my best to answer. These few questions that I would like to answer concern my first learning episodes. In the very beginning of course, I listened to a lot of the radio. I always had a quarter or so to listen to any good steel I found on the jukebox providing my Vespa motor scooter didn’t need a fill-up.
Remember the story I told you all once about Buddy Emmons having to loan me a 0.70 guitar string to use instead of a brake cable for me to be able to get home on my first visit to hearing him play? I needed this string desperately to operate the rear brakes on my scooter as I had about 25 miles of drive home through Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia. It was extremely dangerous to do it with no brakes in heavy traffic.
But instead of putting the string on my scooter, I put it on my steel guitar when I got home. That shows you what a Buddy Emmons fan I was that first day. It’s amazing what a fourteen year old kid will do.
My father managed the music store in downtown Norfolk and that got me discounts on 45 rpm single records. So anything that was exceptionally good, I saved my school lunch money and bought it. When I was learning to play, there were no teaching CDs, tab books or DVDs.
Some of the great records that I bought in that era were everything Jerry Byrd had out on Mercury, Chet Atkins had out on RCA, Merle Travis on Capitol, Bud Isaacs on what Webb Pierce had out and of course, the incredible Les Paul and Mary Ford.
Steel guitar players didn’t really help each other back in those days. As a matter of fact, every steel player seemed to be totally jealous of anybody else learning anything and wouldn’t help a fellow player out to save his life. Nobody would even tell how they tuned their guitar. Looking back I can’t see how steel guitar got started at all.
I would try to play along with Johnny Sibert, Don Helms, Jerry Byrd and many of the other Nashville steel players. Wow! What fun! Then I started hearing a rash of great west coast players that were working with the 8 to 12 piece western swing bands.
Then I saw pictures of double and triple neck steel guitars and when I heard my first Webb Pierce recording with pedal guitar, the rest of my life was doomed. I knew I had been put here on Earth for steel guitar.
Jamming and playing in a band and joining little country bands around town definitely did me a world of good. Of course, when I put my first pedal on my guitar, that exposed me to harmonies, triads and the beginning of elementary chords. I was serious from day one and was familiar with about all the players and their styles. Even listening to lead guitar players such as Chet, Merle and Les helped my playing a lot.
I loved the great old Jerry Byrd style, then Bud Isaacs stole my heart and of course Walter Haines, then Buddy Emmons with their very fast C6th playing warped my head pretty seriously.
I always had a steel guitar that held me back in the beginning. This is one reason I have this steel guitar store now. I want to help everybody I can to get a good steel guitar that will make a good player out of them. I’m very serious about voicing opinions on guitars for all these reasons. If I don’t feel like I’ve sold you something that is going to help you and be good for you for a good while, I’d rather not sell it to you.
I see so many people that have made what I feel are serious mistakes in buying a guitar from Ebay, Craigslist or a neighbor. Some of these guitars are so bad that they will do nothing but discourage a new player totally.
Remember, steel guitar is not one of those instruments that falls under the old adage, “you get what you pay for”. This is not really true as sometimes it’s possible to get a great guitar for very little money and other times, no matter how many thousands you spend, you can end up with a piece of junk.
Why I’m here is reason enough to use me as I have been buying, building and playing steel guitar professionally for many years. Helping a new player or older player is my deal totally.
There are many methods to learn to play. Steel guitar is written out in many of them. What do I recommend? Tab? Notes? Just using my ear? Getting a personal instructor? Or what? The answer to these questions is, we are all different and we all learn in different ways.
I had a real good ear for picking things up when I was beginning. I would hear something I liked and look for it over and over until I found it on the neck of the guitar and then play it over and over. Some of my first songs were from Jerry Byrd’s instrumental albums.
I realize many learning players out there are doing the same thing with my CDs. If I get a phone call at the store and a newer player tells me that they are going to be using my CDs for learning, I would discount these CDs deeply as I do to most of the readers of my tips sheets.
The big message I’m trying to deliver to each and every one of you is I’m here for you. If I’m not helping somebody to learn to play in one way or another, I’m not doing what I was put here for. So call me, email me and I’ll do anything I can to help your playing and love for steel guitar.
Just a reminder that I’m giving you free shipping within the continental U.S. on any guitar you buy during the months of January and February.
Check out our monthly specials at http://www.steelguitar.net/monthlyspecials.html and we’ll try to save you a lot of money.
Your buddy,
Bobbe

As a matter of fact, every steel player seemed to be totally jealous of anybody else learning anything and wouldn’t help a fellow player out to save his life. Nobody would even tell how they tuned their guitar. Looking back I can’t see how steel guitar got started at all.
I would try to play along with Johnny Sibert, Don Helms, Jerry Byrd and many of the other Nashville steel players. Wow! What fun! Then I started hearing a rash of great west coast players that were working with the 8 to 12 piece western swing bands.
Then I saw pictures of double and triple neck steel guitars and when I heard my first Webb Pierce recording with pedal guitar, the rest of my life was doomed. I knew I had been put here on Earth for steel guitar.
Jamming and playing in a band and joining little country bands around town definitely did me a world of good. Of course, when I put my first pedal on my guitar, that exposed me to harmonies, triads and the beginning of elementary chords. I was serious from day one and was familiar with about all the players and their styles. Even listening to lead guitar players such as Chet, Merle and Les helped my playing a lot.
I loved the great old Jerry Byrd style, then Bud Isaacs stole my heart and of course Walter Haines, then Buddy Emmons with their very fast C6th playing warped my head pretty seriously.
I always had a steel guitar that held me back in the beginning. This is one reason I have this steel guitar store now. I want to help everybody I can to get a good steel guitar that will make a good player out of them. I’m very serious about voicing opinions on guitars for all these reasons. If I don’t feel like I’ve sold you something that is going to help you and be good for you for a good while, I’d rather not sell it to you.
I see so many people that have made what I feel are serious mistakes in buying a guitar from Ebay, Craigslist or a neighbor. Some of these guitars are so bad that they will do nothing but discourage a new player totally.
Remember, steel guitar is not one of those instruments that falls under the old adage, “you get what you pay for”. This is not really true as sometimes it’s possible to get a great guitar for very little money and other times, no matter how many thousands you spend, you can end up with a piece of junk.
Why I’m here is reason enough to use me as I have been buying, building and playing steel guitar professionally for many years. Helping a new player or older player is my deal totally.
There are many methods to learn to play. Steel guitar is written out in many of them. What do I recommend? Tab? Notes? Just using my ear? Getting a personal instructor? Or what? The answer to these questions is, we are all different and we all learn in different ways.
I had a real good ear for picking things up when I was beginning. I would hear something I liked and look for it over and over until I found it on the neck of the guitar and then play it over and over. Some of my first songs were from Jerry Byrd’s instrumental albums.
I realize many learning players out there are doing the same thing with my CDs. If I get a phone call at the store and a newer player tells me that they are going to be using my CDs for learning, I would discount these CDs deeply as I do to most of the readers of my tips sheets.
The big message I’m trying to deliver to each and every one of you is I’m here for you. If I’m not helping somebody to learn to play in one way or another, I’m not doing what I was put here for. So call me, email me and I’ll do anything I can to help your playing and love for steel guitar.
Just a reminder that I’m giving you free shipping within the continental U.S. on any guitar you buy during the months of January and February.

PAM TILLIS, RISING R&B ARTIST KRIS THOMAS VIDEO, “TWO KINGS”
PAM TILLIS, RISING R&B ARTIST KRIS THOMAS PAY TRIBUTE TO ELVIS, MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
IN NEW MUSIC VIDEO, “TWO KINGS”
Nashville, Tenn. (January 11, 2012) – Country music superstar Pam Tillis and rising R&B sensation Kris Thomas have come together to record a tribute to “Two Kings,” civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the King of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley. The tribute song seamlessly blends the sounds of soul, country, pop and gospel. Appropriately releasing between the 77th birthday of the late Elvis Presley (this past Sunday, January 8) and Martin Luther King Day (Monday, January 16), “Two Kings” premieres today exclusively on AOL’s The Boot. Watch the video HERE.
“Maybe It Was Memphis” singer Pam Tillis and Memphis matriarch Brenda O’Brien wrote the song. O’Brien’s family owned the famous Memphis night club “The Plantation Inn,” which not only was known as the Memphis hot spot frequented by celebrities (including a young Elvis Presley before his fame) but also as a melting pot of races and social classes in the extreme racially charged times.
"Martin Luther's contribution to civil rights is an unassailable matter of history and Elvis' disregard of the division of race in music helped change it forever," says Tillis. "My friend Brenda O'Brien, who grew up during the turblulent times of the civil rights struggle, right in the middle of the Memphis music scene, saw the connection and brought the song idea to me... all I did was help her see her vision through."
“The message of this song is so powerful and relevant especially in our world today… and all the connections to Memphis make this song really special to me being a Memphis native,” says Thomas. “Plus being able to sing and work in the studio with Pam was such a thrill and an education for me.”
Tillis and Thomas filmed the video for the song in Memphis, Tennessee earlier this year with documentary producer Molly Secors. Additional vocals in “Two Kings” is provided by the Stax Academy Street Corner Harmonies choir. “Two Kings” is available for purchase now at all digital retail outlets.
Tillis adds, "This song is just an earnest attempt to honor each man's legacy and ask, "what will you do to make the world a better place?"
A former CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Pam Tillis is a GRAMMY Award winning singer/songwriter, acclaimed actress of the Broadway stage and on screen in television and film. Her chart-topping career has secured her place in country music history. Kris Thomas, a Memphis native and former Stax Academy “kid,” first gained attention in 2010 with the release of his debut single, “I Know You Won’t,” a soulful rendition of the Carrie Underwood ballad. Thomas is recording a mix tape in Memphis and Nashville.
