Larry Sparks
Artist: Larry Sparks
Genre(s):
Country
Discography:
Classic Bluegrass
Year: 1994
Tracks: 18
Larry Sparks has aforementioned that he's the youngest oldtimer about, and the self-description is an apt i. Emerging from the Stanley Brothers' Clinch Mountain Boys band, Sparks carried on with the sounds created by bluegrass music's first-class honours degree contemporaries. His style was no clone, however; it had a distinctively bluesy undertone anchored by Sparks' possess guitar, a relatively unusual steer pawn in bluegrass, where the tercet of mandolin, banjo, and fiddle had defined the musical texture since the genre's early years.
Sparks grew up in Lebanon, OH, in the southwesterly part of the state that has produced several other tip bluegrass artists. His parents came from Appalachian Kentucky, and one of his grandfathers was a fiddle contest champion. Sparks heard Cincinnati country star Wayne Raney on the wireless when he was pres Young and conditioned to encounter the guitar. His skills set him in demand not only for bluegrass but too for country and rock bands patch he was in heights shoal, merely after sitting in as lead guitar player with the Stanley Brothers as they toured Ohio in 1964, bluegrass took first-class honours degree place among his musical interests. Sparks played progressively often with the Stanley Brothers and made his transcription debut in 1965 on a small Dayton, OH, judge. He spent triplet days as lead singer with Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys later on Carter Stanley's last at eld 41 in December 1966.
Around 1970, Sparks formed his have band, the Lonesome Ramblers, and it's a rare bluegrass Country festival or concert series that hasn't played host to Sparks multiple times in the days since. Numerous jr. bluegrass Country players get passed through the Lonesome Ramblers or appeared on Sparks' many recordings, Ricky Skaggs and fiddler Stuart Duncan existence only deuce of the best-known examples. Sparks recorded for various labels in the '70s and early '80s, moving to Rebel in 1982 for the Dark Hollow LP. It was the start in a long drawing string of recordings that sold steadily and south Korean won critical herald; most of Sparks' Rebel catalogue remained in print in the early 2000s.
Along the way, Sparks made several songs into bluegrass standards. He unearthed an obscure folk-rock composition by Lawrence Hammond entitled "John Deere Tractor" and turned it into a perennial hymn of discontent rural family adrift in the big metropolis; the cover of the sung dynasty by the Judds on their Beloved Can Build a Bridge record album of 1990 was likely traceable to Sparks' possess legion performances. The Stanley Brothers' "Goin' Up Home (To Live in Green Pastures)" was one of several gospels pieces that every parking lot pickup isthmus wanted to larn after auditory modality Sparks sing it, and Sparks tended to nidus on gospel singing in his have legion compositions as well.
Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers barely slowed down pat in the nineties, releasing several albums over the course of the decennium, and 2003's The Coldest Part of Winter showed him in unrelieved anatomy. Sparks released Net Suit You Wear in 2007.

Bo Diddley 1928-2008
Bo Diddley, who has died of heart failure aged 79, was a rock 'n' roll pioneer and creator of arguably the first great electric guitar riff.
Taking a lead from African tribal music, his distinctive 5/4 time signature was a trademark of most of his songs � a sound he once boastfully described as �the rhythm that shook the world�.
It was a typical remark from a man whose tongue-in-cheek self-aggrandisement became a running motif throughout his career.
In addition to the self-titled 1955 single that introduced his famous riff, he also cut records with titles like 'Diddley Daddy', 'Hey! Bo Diddley', 'Bo Diddley Is Loose', 'Bo�s A Lumberjack' and 'The Story Of Bo Diddley'...

tertiary Bass was one of a still-small number of white rap artists to accomplish wide of the mark acceptance in the bigger community. Along with the Beastie Boys, tertiary Bass proved that andrew D. White rap wasn't needfully going to suit a watered-down, commercially exploitatory heist of the genuine article, as so many white River interpretations of black musical forms had been in the past. Instead, they were berserk of a well-developed lyric technique and were respectfully well-versed in hip-hop culture and tradition. They helped go under the musical note for the room ovalbumin rappers could believably and intelligently approaching the music, and scorn staying together for only 2 albums, they managed to create a highly positive permanent impingement.
3rd Bass was formed by Queens-born MC Serch (innate Michael Berrin) and Brooklyn-native Prime Minister Pete Nice (innate Pete Nash), along with African-American DJ Richie Rich (innate Richard Lawson). Nice had been an English major at Columbia University and hosted a short-lived rap music show up on radio station WKCR. Serch, in the meantime, had honed his skills battle-rapping at clubs and jam parties and had antecedently released a solo undivided called "Hey Boy" on the small independent Idlers label. Both Serch and Nice were working as solo acts until producer Sam Sever convinced the deuce 20 year olds to conjoin forces in 1987. Along with Prince Paul and the Bomb Squad, Sever produced their 1989 Def Jam debut, The Cactus Album (aka Cee/D), which was greeted with enthusiastic reviews in most quarters. Clever, good-humoured singles like "The Gas Face," "Steppin' to the A.M.," and "Brooklyn-Queens" helped make 3rd Bass's name in the rap music subway. They followed it in 1991 with Derelicts of Dialect, which featured one of the low recorded appearances by Nas and contained a savagely singular thrusting at Vanilla Ice called "Kill Goes the Weasel." Accompanied by an equally humourous video, "Pop Goes the Weasel" became third Bass's biggest chart single and performed some much-needed harm control in the hip-hop community: not only did it forestall third Bass from getting lumped in with Ice, but by file name extension, it too distanced at least some of the Caucasian race from the whole phenomenon, opening doors for greater inclusiveness later on.
Disdain their success, third Bass disbanded in 1992 when MC Serch went solo. He issued Turn back of the Product later that year, and the remainder of the grouping, billed as Prime Minister Pete Nice & DJ Daddy Rich, teamed up for Dust to Dust in 1993. Neither was as successful or high profile as the two gold-selling tertiary Bass albums. Serch, interested in discovering new talent, became the head of A&R at the well-thought-of, now-defunct Wild Pitch tag, and later founded his possess judge, Serchlight Productions. Nice, meanwhile, dropped out of the medicine business and opened a store in Cooperstown, NY, that sold baseball memorabilia. In 2000, third Bass reunited for several concerts.

Disney adds Blu-ray extras
BD Live elements part of aggressive transition push
Live, onscreen chat functions for future installments of such titles as "Lost" and "High School Musical," exclusive conversations with filmmakers, and a suite of other Web-enhanced special features are among the next-generation extras Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment has up its sleeves as the studio begins an aggressive push to transition consumers from standard DVD to Blu-ray Disc.
During a presentation Monday night to officially unveil Disney's first BD Live title -- an elaborate 50th anniversary edition release of "Sleeping Beauty" -- division president Bob Chapek promised to add BD Live elements, which allow movie viewers to tap into the Web for a wealth of interactive options, to all upcoming Disney-branded releases beginning in the fourth quarter. To further hasten the transition to Blu-ray Disc, Disney is including a standard DVD with "Sleeping Beauty" to make it easy for consumers to understand the difference between the two formats.
Chapek said the interactive extras on "Sleeping Beauty," from a menu backdrop that mirrors weather conditions in the viewer's home town to onscreen chat rooms and video messaging, are merely "our jumping off point of what's to come."
"And that new canvas will now enable filmmakers and studios alike to push the creative content arena to heights never before imagined," Chapek said.
Thanks to BD Live technology, future Disney releases could include such extras as live chats with filmmakers in which viewers use their Blackberrys or other PDAs to type in their end of the conversation, which then appears on the screen, as the movie rolls.
The chat function debuts with "Sleeping Beauty," out Oct. 7, with an IM-like window that allows viewers to chat with fellow viewers watching the Blu-ray Disc at the same time.
"The idea of my little girl being able to experience the movie and chat in real time with her grandparents across the country is very exciting to me," Chapek said. "We are introducing this important feature on 'Sleeping Beauty,' but imagine the possibilities of extending this to other titles such as 'High School Musical' or, eventually, ABC's hit show 'Lost.' Can you imagine the level of excitement that will create with the tweens or the rabid fan base of 'Lost'?"
Chapek also talked up video messaging, or "Disney Movie Mail," in which a video message can be inserted into a movie, at any point, at the viewer's discretion, and then sent to another viewer, for playback the next time the movie is watched.
"Theoretically, it takes a greeting card and puts it on steroids," Chapek said. "Imagine the possibilities beyond dad on a business trip. People being given the opportunity to use clips of their favorite Disney films to create movie mail messages will surely appeal to old, young and everyone in between."
Chapek said Disney's goal is to "reinvent the experience of watching movies in the home ... by laying in a level of interactivity and connectivity that has never before been attempted in any format. This interactive connectivity will help us to connect families all across the country and help make the family room relevant again."
Viewers taking advantage of these and other BD Live functions, Chapek said, will accumulate "reward points" and be able to tap into a newly created Disney BD Live Network.
"Here, Blu-ray owners will be able to acquire studio updates, download new trailers, and use their accumulated reward points to obtain wallpapers, ringtones, avatars and many other new exciting possibilities," he said.
