Shasta Serenade

This week the Shasta Serenade opens with Marcia Ball’s cover of Randy Newman’s classic “Louisiana 1927.” It seems every few years residents of the Mississippi Delta get their teeth kicked in by flooding, and this year they’ve experienced at least a 500-year event. Just thinking about the loss of life, not to mention the loss of one’s home and treasures affects us deeply. Newman’s song captures that feeling of loss and defeat in the face of Mother Nature’s relentless force. We continue with our exploration of Americana with an eclectic selection of blue, rock, folk and popular music. Hope you can join us.

Shasta Serenade

It’s the last weekend of the month folks and we turn the Shasta Serenade into the Rock-a-Barry Weekend Show. We’ll be playing Rock n’ Roll, R&B, Country Music and Pop from the 1940s into the 70s. This month we catch up on a few birthdays that I missed, like Linda Ronstadt’s 70th, doowopper, now blues man, Dion DiMucci, 50s-60s crooner Jerry Vale, Marvin Rainwater and Bobby Day, just to name a few. Join us for the party.

We have music from Austin-based The Deer and their new album, “Tempest & Rapture,” and Seattle-based Evening Bell will release a new album August 12 entitled “Dying Star.” Teddy Thompson and Kelly Jones have released a fantastic album, “Little Windows.” Plus, you’re going to hear from Frankie Lee, I Draw Slow, Paul Burch, Cyndi Lauper (her new country album, “Detour”), and one of my favorite new releases, “Honest Life,” from Courtney Marie Andrews. We spend time talking up concerts and The Summer Music & Arts Festival, July 23 in Manton, and we also explore the Fall Strawberry Music Festival coming September 1-4 in Tuolumne City at the new and developing festival site located at the old Westside lumber mill.

This weekend on the Shasta Serenade with host Barry Hazle:

Lately, it seems every week we are paying our respects to musical icons who have passed, and this week it is Ralph Stanley and Scotty Moore. Stanley, with his distinctive vocals and banjo playing style, was one of the last original bluegrass innovators, although he preferred to call his music old time mountain music, not bluegrass. Stanley died June 23 at the age of 89. He and his brother Carter formed the Stanley Brothers in 1946 and after his brother died in 1966 Ralph carried on, fronting the Clinch Mountain Boys well into his 80s and recording over 70 albums.
Scotty Moore, who died June 28, was a member of the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. He was the original guitarist for Elvis Presley and helped establish the rockabilly sound. As a member and leader of The Blue Moon Boys he, along with Bill Black (bass) and D.J. Fontana (drums), set the foundation of rock ‘n roll. Rolling Stone named him #29 of the top 100 most influential guitarists of all time. I’ll play Junior Parker’s “Mystery Train,” a tune that Scotty recorded with Elvis in 1955 that is considered one of the greatest rock ‘n roll recordings of all time. And I’ll play more of Moore’s music the last weekend of July on The Rock-a-Barry Weekend Show.
I’ve packed a lot of music into this week’s 2-hour show, along with our calendar of coming concerts and festivals – hope you have time to tune-in.
