RUNNING COMMENTARY Since last we spoke, Hulk Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame after being kicked out for uttering racial epithets during the filming of a sex tape, James Gunn was fired from Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3 after tweeting bad pedophilia jokes a few years back, Stephen McDaniel started a GoFundMe and then it was shut down without raising a cent, tariffs have caused the price of printing this paper to go up, reboots of Buffy and Charlie’s Angels were announced (neither are necessary, but guess which one I’ll actually watch), you’ve likely paid to park downtown and/or have received your first parking ticket under the new system, I got on Facebook, the Necco Wafer factory was shut down and sold (I love ‘em, B. I don’t know why but I do.), 40% of Americans think another WWE Hall of Famer is making something great again, and I still haven’t scene Omega vs Okada IV.

EAT THIS

ZONER'S PIZZA

(Best Bill Hicks impression) ‘Kay? Kay. What am I supposed to do with all this, huh? I can’t just leave it alone. The Necco wafer thing alone is enough to get me started on a good twenty minute rant! Before the internet constantly spewing like so much raw sewage into the Ocmulgee, do you remember when the news came on at 6pm and 11pm? You got all the crap you needed in two thirty-minute intervals—one if you had a heavy meal and went to bed early. You could be pissed through Wheel of Fortune, and by the time Roseanne came on you were pleasantly stoned on old-fashioned sitcom stability. Oh, how the times have f ’n changed!

I’m a firm believer in distraction. I love movies and television, video games and wrasslin’, rockabilly music, beer and bourbon. Lately though, instead of spending my precious few moments of leisure time on any one of those sublime pursuits, I get sucked into the vacuum of news feeds, investigations, probes, tweets (I don’t even have Twitter!), real news, fake news, celebrity gossip, and by the time I’m done making myself sick with it all… the alarm’s going off, the baby needs changin’, and it’s time to make the donuts. I don’t want to give you my political opinions anymore than you want to hear him.

But I will ask this—if everybody hates everybody, how is that great?

Oh, and if you have any Necco Wafers or a copy of Omega vs Okada IV—bring ‘em by.

11 QUESTIONS WITH

T. HARDY MORRIS With Dead Confederate, Diamond Rugs or solo, it’s tough to beat T. Hardy Morris for visceral, driven rock n’ roll. Dude, The Obscure, Hardy’s latest effort, finds the songwriter examining his history and future throughout slices of memory, regret, and hope to a soundtrack that sounds, tastes, looks, and smells like Ardent Records 1972. T.Hardy Morris is a “don’t miss” performer with a compelling charisma and a dangerous affectation for the kind riffs and songs that sound like forever.

1

HAT WAS THE FIRST ALBUM YOU EVER BOUGHT? AND DO YOU STILL W LISTEN TO IT? I used to listen to my mom’s vinyl copy of Neil Young Harvest Constantly, and so when I got my own stereo in my room I got a cassette tape version. “Heart of Gold” was the first song I learned on guitar, kind of... I am pretty sure I was playing it wrong. Yes, I still listen to lots of Neil. Not Harvest as much, but maybe I will do that today...

12 AUGUST 3–16, 2018

O YOU HAVE ANY PRE-SHOW RITUALS OR SUPERSTITIONS? D Not anything specific besides having a couple of beers. I try not to take "performance" too seriously and enjoy the show and let it go where its gonna go. Let the band and audience take it there together and kind of write the set-list as we go. I have a lot of songs that are all over the place. Loud rock and roll and quieter songs. We can have a party or a chilled out, intimate affair... I am fine with either one, so I kind of let the evening go where it wants to go...

4 5

OW HAS BEING A FATHER CHANGED YOUR H PERCEPTION OF MUSIC? PERCEPTION OF SONGWRITING? Kids live so in-the-moment, and as grown ups, we kind of watch them and envy that. So as far as songwriting, it makes me want to explore initial song ideas as they are and follow them without trying to change them to fit a certain genre or box. Go with that childlike inspiration instead of letting it get taken into the world of forms, and what some generic, fictitious block of people may want to hear.

HAT'S YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE SONG THAT W NOBODY KNOWS YOU CAN PLAY? “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas. Hilariously awesome riff.

HAT'S YOUR TOUR/TRAVEL PLAYLIST? W When driving at night, I like to listen to very chill music. Chet Baker, Magnolia Electric Co. , Vic Chesnutt, something dark, vibey and slow. But during the day I like to listen to ridiculous metal, a-la 90's Judas Priest!!!! Gets the van rolling! We have also been on an Australian noise-rock kick... Scientists, The Clean, etc...

6 7 8 9

EST ADVICE YOU EVER GOT FROM ANOTHER B ARTIST? “I used to wear flippers onstage a lot” -Curt Kirkwood of Meat Puppets

ERSONALLY, WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING P IN A THRIVING ARTS/MUSIC COMMUNITY (SUCH AS ATHENS) WHEN CREATING NEW MATERIAL? It’s nice because strange, honest music is embraced and celebrated here. You can do your thing and other artists and music fans here are genuinely interested in, not simply judging your work.

OUTSIDE OF ATHENS WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO PERFORM AND WHY? I love Chicago because there are so many great venues to play and people come out to shows. The same goes for Austin, TX. I'd like to get back to the UK in the near future. Dead Confederate always did well and had a good time over there.

HO IS AN ARTIST PEOPLE SHOULD BE LISTENING W TO RIGHT NOW? I really like Kevin Morby's latest record, City Music. His others are great too, kind of Lou Reed meets Leonard Cohen for the modern times.

10

HAT SONG DO YOU ROCK YOUR BABY TO W SLEEP TO? Judy Garland “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” or John Prine “Paradise”.

11

ND A RANDOM ONE TO CLOSE IT OUT...

A WHERE’S THE BEST TACO? In the gas station near my house. Seriously, we have great Latin food here in Athens. A local, famous chef, Hugh Acheson, recently mentioned these gas station tacos as "the best thing I've eaten in 6 months!"

T. Hardy Morris will be on The Creek Stage at the Rookery with Parker Gispert of the Whigs, Friday August 3rd.

DAYTRIPPER: FOX THEATRE

BY TONY DOOLIN

My first exposure to the Fox was during my early radio career in the 90’s, when the rock station I was working for carried the live broadcast of a Pearl Jam concert from the theatre. I pirated a copy of the audio onto a reel to reel, and the box stayed in my office for years, the label reading “PJ @ The Fox!” My first time at the theatre itself was in 2017 during a production of Mamma Mia. My wife had already forced me to sit through the movie a number of times, so luckily I was able to get lost in the amazing detail of the Fox Theatre architecture—and still keep up with the thread of the musical. Despite being overwhelmed by how beautiful the Fox is, I was still aware enough to stand and applaud during the reprise of “Dancing Queen”.

“You can dance… you can die… having the time of your life. See that girl… watch her scream… kicking the Dancing Queen.”

By the way, I may be wrong about the lyrics on that one.

In 1928, the Fox Theatre began as a headquarters for the Atlanta Shriners. I can only imagine the original plans included a small parking garage for their tiny cars. The architecture was inspired by a number of international landmarks, including the Alhambra in Spain and the Temple of Karnak in Egypt. Before construction was even completed, the Shriners realized the grandiose design was not going to be financially feasible to maintain as a headquarters.

the Magic Kingdom on social media anymore. Let me be safe—“Mickey Mouse”, “Steamboat Willie”, “Disney”, “Iron Man”, “Star Wars” and “Orlando” are all trademarked and owned by The Walt Disney Company. Their use is strictly for entertainment purposes and I do not own claims to any of the names.

Please don’t take away my annual passes to the parks.)

Luckily, the late 1920’s were an era of “movie palaces” and theatre mogul William Fox swept in to take over the building. With his financial backing, the 250,000 square foot building was completed with a final budget of $3 million. The final centerpiece of the Fox was the installation of “Mighty Mo”, the largest Moller pipe organ in existence, consisting of 3,622 pipes.

In 1932, William Fox filed for bankruptcy and the Fox Theatre was auctioned to a private company for $75,000. Despite a rocky start, the Fox continued to serve as a jewel of the Southeast through the 1970’s.

Trouble started in 1974 when a development company wanted to purchase the property and destroy the building in favor of a high rise development. In an effort to preserve the building, a grassroots campaign to “Save The Fox” began with a group of high school students picketing in front of the theatre, gaining national media attention. With the assistance of Atlanta’s mayor, the city’s Urban Design Commission, and the newly formed Atlanta Landmarks, the campaign was a success. In 1975, Atlanta Landmarks purchased The Fabulous Fox and it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

On Christmas Day in 1929, the Fabulous Fox opened to a sold-out audience that corresponded with the debut of Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie, the iconic rodent’s first animated short.

Unfortunately, not even the power of Mickey could save the Fox from The Great Depression…

(Side note: I’m not even sure I can use the phrase “Mickey Mouse” or “Steamboat Willie” without getting a cease & desist letter or a threat of legal action from Disney. I know they’re touchy about this stuff and quite frankly, I don’t even post photos from

A view of Fox Theatre from 1929

Anyway…

After a $20 million dollar renovation project, the Fox Theatre continues to be a destination for premiere entertainment in Georgia. My most recent trip to The Fox was for the touring production of The Book of Mormon. I was hoping that this time around, I would be able to focus more on the show and not get lost in the grandeur and spectacle of the Fox itself. I was wrong…

Does anyone know what “Hasa Diga Eebowai” means?

I was looking at the ceiling.

Kirk West’s 50,000 SHADES OF GRAY TAJ MAHAL CHICAGO BLUES FEST, JUNE 1982 GRANT PARK ON LAKE MICHIGAN

Taj was always about the Style—in his approach to his music, with the way he dressed, who he hung out with, who he helped out... This was taken on a smaller side stage of the Chicago Blues Fest. Sittin’ down & acoustic. I have known Taj casually for years. Tuff cat to warm up to—if he lets ya, that is… One of the best times I remember with Taj was at Adams Lounge out in Jones County.

It was a couple days after a music fest in Atlanta, and Bill Lucado got Taj to come down to his place in Gray for a short visit (Bill & Taj are tight). I got a call about noon that day from Bill sayin’ “Get on out to Adams Lounge right away!”.So often with Lucado, it would be the same way, "Hey, I got this idea, come on let’s go!!!" So we did… Got out there, and there was Taj Mahal, Tim Brooks, MudCat, Tim Duffy of Music Makers Foundation, ol’ Bill, Mister Adams & Chank Middleton with his son, Taj… a couple other folks & a shooter from Athens—and that's it! No more than 15 folks and 4-5 of ‘em with guitars! We sat there and listened to Taj teach us all a thing or ten about the blues. A great afternoon. It was all about Taj's style of living....From an old tape from 1971 from Pittsburg when Taj Mahal opened for the Allman Brothers, Duane was speakin’ to the audience about him, "Thanks for the opening set... Taj Mahal, ya all... that just ain't a man, that's a lesson in how to live..."

Kirk West is a photographer, archivist, and the host of “Into The Mystic” Wednesday Nights at 7pm on 100.9 The Creek. He’s published two books of his work, Les Brers – Kirk West’s Photographic Journey with The Brothers, and The Blues in Black and White—a collection documenting his time on the Chicago Blues scene in the 1970s and 1980s.

A CONVERSATION WITH

DIANA REICHENBACH

BY AARON IRONS

The Macon Film Festival will kick off it's 2018 run with a new Fulldome “festival within a festival.” Set to become an annual part of Macon's celebration of independent cinema, the showcase will feature fulldome films from around the world that will utilize the Mark Smith Planetarium at the Museum of Arts & Sciences. These amazing films will provide an immersive, unique approach to cinema that challenges the audience's perception of how movies are experienced. Fulldome uses the complete arc of the planetarium to create a 360 degree view that has to be seen to truly be appreciated. Last year, the seeds of the fulldome festival were planted with the debut of Diana Reichenbach's Stargazer's Waltz. That film was designed to accompany music from the Mike Mills, Robert McDuffie collaboration, Concerto for Violin, Rock Band and String Orchestra. Reichenbach is a Professor of Animation at Savannah College of Art & Design and an innovator in the realms of both fulldome film and interactive architecture. As a youth, she marveled at planetarium presentations-- but even then Diana felt that the dome itself was capable of so much more!

With experimentation, advances in technology, and artistic vision, filmmakers like Diana Reichenbach are developing new and exciting methods in the realm of fulldome. This year the award-winning, globally renowned Reichenbach returns to the Macon Film Festival as a juror-- and to debut her latest project, SONOLUMIN. This stop-frame animated film will allow the audience to experience the relationship between light, sound, and space. SONOLUMIN will also incorporate actual live music performed by Thad Anderson. I had the opportunity to speak to Diana about her participation in the vanguard element of this years event. With Stargazer's Waltz, she introduced fulldome to Central Georgia. Now, Diana Reichenbach returns to showcase how the medium is revolutionizing film all over the world.

18 AUGUST 3–16, 2018

AI: Typically as viewers we're trained to look at a screen, pay attention to one specific area. Of course with fulldome you're encompassing a whole lot more. How do you prepare an audience for that kind of experience?

DR: There are some visual devices that you can use.

For example, usually, the audience is facing in a specific direction-- so in fulldome filmmaking there is an area of the screen known as the “sweet spot”, and we generally know that the viewer is going to be looking either kind of forward or up-- but in terms of the peripheral, that's part of what the fun is... is creating a film like this... is that you don't have control over what the viewer is seeing. And so when you do want them to pay attention to a specific element, there are devices you can use either through lighting or how you frame the subject, sound cues-- but also sometimes what's really great is you can play with the peripheral! So you can create an experience that's happening behind the viewer or coming from behind and forward into the sweet spot. But that's creating almost an experience of movement as well, so the viewer can feel like they're moving through a space. Personally, I think that's really fun-- not being able to control where the viewer is looking, and that's part of the experimentation. And that’s part of how you can contribute to the language of immersive cinema.

In a standard film, when you have the usual considerations of lighting and sound, and that sweet spot that you talk about-- where that's really where the focus is. Now that you know that you're dealing with this immersion, this 360, how do you meet those kinds of challenges? Or what challenges, rather, are unique to filming fulldoome?

The challenges that are unique to filming fulldome, which would also come into play with virtual reality is, edit-- don't translate the same way that they do in traditional film. For example, when we want the

viewer to be closer to the character, sometimes we cut to an extreme close-up and things like that.

Some of that editing language is still being developed, and you can almost think of the viewer in these mediums as the actual camera. Instead of cutting from one thing to another, you're actually moving a camera through space, which endS up being your audience. I guess other challenges are… one that you have this 360 space that you have to consider. So for example, whether you're building something in 3D space, the digital space or in real life space, you can't just build a set for one direction. You have to build something that encompasses your whole environment. And so that can often take a lot of time. Oftentimes these things require a lot more computer power behind them because they're much higher resolution. For example, the films that I make are a much larger file size than traditional cinema, and so when I send them to people, they often have to go on hard drives. So those are just some of the challenges in terms of cinematic language. Another thing to consider, actually, is speed.

So for example, if you're moving through a space in fulldome... if you're trying to take the audience forward, you have to have considerations of motion sickness and things like this.

I guess you would!

(Laughs) Yeah! And so those are just things that you have to consider... one through experimentation to sometimes helping the audience to deal with these things. You can say like, “Oh, if you start to feel this way, close your eyes for a second.” But I think that as this becomes more commonplace, like anything, people start to get used to it, technology gets better and, um, it, it starts to become a part our lives and how we speak to each other.

You're coming back to the film festival this year, and you're going to be on a panel judging the “festival within the festival” for fulldome. What is it that you are going to be looking for in the submissions this year?

I would say each juror is going to come with their own point of view, but for me it's utilizing the medium in a creative way. Right now is the time that we should be experimenting. We should be experimenting with how we’re using the screen, how we're using sound, and how we're telling the story. For me it will be seeing something and realizing that it's adding to an innovation, it’s adding to the language that we're building in immersive cinema.

I read in an interview that you did last year.

You had mentioned the excitement and the fear of having your work on display, that anticipation of how your film would be received. In that respect, how important our festivals like the one here in Macon when it comes to adding to that innovation and for providing an outlet for filmmakers, fulldome or otherwise.

It's extremely important. It's only at events like this, that film festivals-- and now with Macon, a fulldome film festival-- that people are exposed to new things. New... it's where filmmakers are experimenting, it’s where they're pushing language forward, you know? It's hard, it's people expressing themselves through this medium and sending a message to audiences. It's very different from commercial filmmaking because there's definitely a lot of heart to it. A lot of times you'll see something-- either subject matter, or a way that a filmmaker is telling the story that you've never seen before. And so I think it's important to expose everybody to this kind of filmmaking and support these filmmakers so that we keep creating new things, and we keep pushing this artistic practice forward. That’s what leads to the next innovation.

You can't just go online and look at a fulldome film. You can't go to Youtube or Netflix or anything to check it out. Like... you really do sort of have to be present for that for that experience.

Actually, that's one of the challenges of making a continued on page 20 11thHourOnline.com 19

continued from page 19 film like this. Even if I'm viewing it in a virtual viewer, or even if I'm viewing it in VR headset, when you're in the actual theater, it is so different! For me, part of what I have to do is use my past experience in kind of knowing what might look right and then screening tests to make sure that what I envision is actually what I'm going to get.

I guess a lot of filmmakers don't have a planetarium readily available for them to view their own work. How do you get around that?

It does help that we do have these virtual viewers now. I think that that's made a big advancement in at least getting... to kind of know what your concept is going to look like. There's also virtual dome simulators, that you can download as a program and you can throw your film into a virtual dome.

But ultimately it does come down to really having access if you need to see your film in...It's kind of like watching a film on your phone versus watching a film on the big screen.

That's a very different experience!

It's got to be amazing when you are able to see it on a planetarium dome.

Yeah, it's amazing! That's why it is important to do tests if you do have access to a dome because it is amazing when you see things work-- and it's disappointing when you see that they don't (laughs). It is important to have access, and there are thousands of domes, digital dome theaters nestled into places like museums worldwide. Some of them have played artistic content, but a lot of them are unaware or haven't taken the initiative to play artistic content. But one thing that I think is going to help filmmakers is that there's a lot more portable domes being utilized and those portable domes are being driven by people who are artists or people who are interested in the arts. And so I think that that could provide some access to filmmakers. There's people that I've given my films to that own these portable domes, and a lot of them will take them to music festivals. My films traveled to Burning Man, and Bonneroo, and Boom Festival, and Portugal... and so people invest in these. Sometimes they're inflatable, sometimes their geodesic, and they play artistic content. Mostly music festivals and things like that.

20 AUGUST 3–16, 2018

Are there plans to do feature films using fulldome and would there be a point in time where you could see people actually having full domes installed on their ceilings at home?

I think that there definitely could be potential for feature films. I know that they're even exploring that in terms of virtual reality right now. With the dome theater, it is a theater setting that people could come in and have this kind of immersive experience there. I think with more film festivals incorporating fulldome as an element, that would put it on the radar for a lot more filmmakers who maybe previously hadn't considered that was even the thing that they could do. And that awareness alone, I think, will drive people to create for it. I think that's part of what Macon is trying to do is by partnering with the actual film festival that happens every year, is trying to grab some of these filmmakers who are creating for the already established way of filmmaking to grab them and pull them into a new medium. As far as domes in your home, uh‌ maybe, maybe it's a possibility? (Laughs) That’s just too sci fi!

(Laughs) Yeah, I mean by that point I think they just might be virtual and you'll be... everything will be virtually projected! Right? So, ultimately, maybe augmented reality? I don't know. We're kind of thinking... Yeah, a little sci fi here!

SEARCHING FOR A HONKY TONK WOMAN

It's been said that opposites attract, but if you're a Honky Tonk Man (just can't seem to stop, can you?), then you want a Honky Tonk Woman—even though she's probably going to give you the Honky Tonk Blues... at the very least.

BO TALKS

ANOTHER NEW CHALLENGE If you’ve been on social media at all recently, you’ve probably seen this new “in my feelings” challenge. It’s one of the newest challenges in a long line of never ending challenges. From cinnamon to ice buckets, people love banal competition. Maybe they think, “Hey, I might not ever make it to the Winter Olympics, but maybe I can crush this Chubby Bunny Challenge!” Or maybe they’ve convinced themselves that doing something asinine on the world wide web will in some way help out an important cause. Whatever the reasons, these videos persist.

I learned about this “feelings” challenge the other day, when a friend asked if I was planning on submitting a rendition as one of my “Bo Talks” videos on Facebook. I was honestly kind of shocked at first. Feelings? Listen here pal, my neck might not be very red but I’m for damn sure a red-blooded American, and what I do with my feelings is my own gall-dern business! The only “feelings challenge” I know is repression! Stuff those suckers way down deep, and let the next generation handle the fallout. You think Ronald Reagan or Clint Eastwood would participate in a “feelings challenge?” My friend went on to explain that the challenge doesn’t require the sharing of actual feelings— which was obviously a huge relief. He went on to explain that it involves dancing outside of a moving car to a song by former Degrassi actor and performer, Drake—while being filmed from inside the car!

Put down the phone buddy! Isn’t he Canadian? I’m starting to find all of this awfully coincidental and suspect. Here in Georgia, we literally just passed a law banning drivers from using their mobile devices while driving. All the sudden some Canadian has us knowingly breaking the law just to get a couple seconds of footage of us dancing? To a song about feelings??

All this time we’ve been so preoccupied with Russia, investigating collusion and cyber espionage... We took our eyes off of our northern neighbors! They lulled us into a false sense of security with their sexy Prime Minister and recreational marijuana—only to pull this sneak attack of catchy music and viral internet challenges! Don’t you see? They’re trying to soften us up while simultaneously convincing us that their pop stars’ demands are more important than our own rules and safety! You better wake up before it’s too late, or the only challenge we’ll be participating in is the Maple Syrup and Free Healthcare Challenge!

Now that I think about it, I guess it could be worse.

Bo Walker is a local writer, striving to save the American people from themselves, one ridiculous column at a time.

EVERYTHING OUR STAFF'S IS BUZZING ABOUT THIS WEEK DRINK THIS

UNE ANNEE LE SEUL XXV Summer is known as the time when craft breweries unleash an assortment of beers ranging from lip-puckering sours to explosive blasts of fruit flavors—almost like a LifeSavers roll with an ABV count. Many of these beers fall to one side of the spectrum or the other, and it’s rare when a brewery masters the art of combining a tart drinking experience that is cut perfectly with the sweetness of fruit. The new Le Seul XXV by Une Annee manages to smoothly pull off this feat. Une Annee Brewery is a small, family-owned brewery located in Niles, IL that focuses on brewing beers in the traditional Belgium and French styles. While not a true sour, the Le Seul XXV is an American Wild Ale that has been fermented with mangos and raspberries. The resulting color is a beautiful, deep rose which emanates with the power of the mango right from the pour. The ale comes in at 6.5% ABV but never tastes anything other than delicious. Pair it with a hot day, a back deck, and good music.

USE THIS

OUTLAW SOAPS I usually smell good. It’s actually listed on my resume as one of my skill sets. I’m constantly on the search for the perfect scent… one that isn’t overpowering but contains a perfect blend of notes. For myself, I tend to lean toward woodsy, dark and spicy combinations.

When I first heard about solid colognes, I was intrigued. Instead of the traditional alcohol or oil based carriers for the scent profile, the solid colognes use a mixture of waxes and oils to create the finished product. My Google-fest led me to Outlaw Soaps, a California based company that specializes in small batch soaps, body wash, lip balms and colognes. After contacting the company, they were quick to send me a sample of The Gambler solid cologne. I’ve never been close enough to smell Kenny Rogers, but I can imagine he smells this good. A mixture of bourbon, leather and tobacco, this beeswax based cologne is perfect for travel and comes packaged in a throwback 1oz. metal tin. Here’s my pro tip: apply a little to your beard brush to add sexy to your facial fur. Check them out online at outlawsoaps.com.

REQUIRED LISTENING

WELD, NEIL YOUNG There are albums that hurt in the best possible way. Such a work is Neil Young and Crazy Horse's, Weld. I first found that feed-backin', reverb-drenched, lava-thick, piece o' white, hot trash on double cassette! Weld was recorded in February of 1991, a live assault on fans that featured bone-crunching renditions of Crazy Horse classics and more smelted with material from the outfit's 1990 rocker, Ragged Glory. From the opening clangs to the final fade of feedback, Weld should have come with a Surgeon General's warning. Neil actually suffered significant hearing loss—not just from the actual performance, but from the mixdown of the album! Weld is not for company—you don't put it on and talk about your day while sipping white wine under a ceiling fan. No, it's a four-headed dragon belching volcanic ash, digging black, glass claws the size of Les Paul's into your torso, dripping napalm into your ear canals, screamin' “HEY, HEY, MY, MY, ROCK N' ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!” There's absolutely no way to appreciate Weld at any other level besides full, my-speakers-were-not-built-to-handle-this volume. There are no harmonies, just the strain of Neil and the boys shouting, howling into microphones hardly designed to match the onslaught from the back line of Godzilla amplifiers. Solos crush together like scrapped metal at a salvage yard, the songs barely recognizable until the choruses kick in with the fury of a cranked out pitbull... WHAT? At some point—maybe not today, or tomorrow, or even next year—you're going to feel emotionally fractured, broken. It'll be a spiritual thing no doctor can diagnose, and you'll be at loss for a way to mend. You're gonna need something fierce enough to weld the wretched pieces of your world back together. Let me know, I'll lend you my cassettes.

ROPA VIEJA If you listen to 100.9 The Creek (which you really should be), then you know that both Tony and I just got back from our trip to Cuba.

It was stunning. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Cuba is in my heart—it’s people, heritage, culture, the colors and classic cars. I found myself missing Havana as soon as I stepped foot in Macon. So what do I do? I bring Cuba to Macon with Ropa Vieja which translates to “old clothes”—shreds of meat, peppers and onions. Don’t be overwhelmed by this one. Viva La Cuba!

Ingredients 2lb Flank Steak 1 large Yellow onion thinly sliced 1 of each: large green, red & yellow bell pepper­—thinly sliced 4 cloves minced garlic 2tsp dried oregano, ground cumin, sweet paprika 1tsp smoked paprika 1/8tsp ground allspice & cloves 2tsp kosher salt ½ tsp ground black pepper ½ C dry white wine

1 C chicken broth 1 16oz can crushed tomatoes 1 6oz can tomato paste 2 bay leaves 1 large carrot cut in half 1 large celery stalk cut in half 1 C green olives (whole or sliced) ½ C roasted red peppers 1/4C pimentos 2 tblsp capers 1/3 C chopped parsley *sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.

Heat a little oil in dutch oven on high and brown the meat. Transfer meat to a plate. Add vegetables to the pot and cook over medium for 15-20 minutes until caramelized. Add the garlic and spices and cook for another minute. Add the white wine and bring it to a rapid boil, deglazing the pan. Add broth, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and bay leaves. Simmer for 5 min. Return meat to pot and add carrot and celery, bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 3 hours until meet falls apart, discarding carrot and celery. Shred meat and add olives, roasted red peppers, capers and pimentos. Simmer uncovered until sauce thickens. Stir in parsley at end.

A LONG TIME COMING THE RISE OF THE WAR AND TREATY THE INTERVIEW BY CHARLES DAVIS

EVERYONE HAS A DESTINY. A purpose. Something that they were put on this Earth to do. Some end up being doc-

tors. Others become leaders of industry. Michael and Tanya Trotter of The War and Treaty were placed here to heal hearts and lift souls with their music. With their 2017 EP release, Down To The River, and their performance at music festivals around the world like AmericanaFest, Shaky Knees and Bonnaroo, The War and Treaty have become one of the music industry’s most talked about bands. All of this critical acclaim, as well as the backing of music legends Buddy Miller and EmmyLou Harris, will culminate in their first full-length studio album, Healing Tide-- scheduled for release on August 10th under the Thirty Tigers/Strong World Entertainment imprint. With only their rich voices and a tambourine, they open the album with “Love Like There Is No Tomorrow”, a haunting, powerful acapella song that showcases the fact that even without musical accompaniment, the War and Treaty are a force to be reckoned with. “Are You Ready To Love Me” perfectly encapsulates the effortless, raw power of Tanya Trotter’s voice that is reminiscent of the legendary soul and country singers that laid the foundation she graciously stands upon. Michael’s emotional lyrics and vocal agility shine through on “If It’s In Your Heart”, in which he is mourning a lost friend. But it is when you arrive at the song “Hearts”, that you truly understand why critics and fans who have seen The War and Treaty live are falling in love with them in droves. The harmonies they create within the incredible accompaniment mix with an intensity to form songs that make you want to grab your significant other, and never let them go. In the end, with this album and their phenomenal stage performances, Michael and Tanya let you know that not only is it ok to love, care for, and accept everyone for who and what they are, but it’s a damn good time when you do. Ahead of the release of their album, I caught up with Michael Trotter Jr. to talk about this phenomenal stretch they have been on, the process of recording this album, and what is next for this band as they stand poised to skyrocket into the upper echelon of the music business.

You get two feelings. The first feeling you feel is a sense of pride and joy. It's like, “Wow, they get it. I put out this effort and gave it a 150 percent, and they got it!”-- and that's the first thought. Then the second thought is, “Oh, they GOT it. What does this mean? What's the follow-up? How do I maintain this? Can I record that level of authenticity, so that I could just have it with me every time I perform?” The responsibility of giving it like that every night is heavy, and it's challenging. But you know? We're up for the task, and we promise at every show we do, we're gonna try to give more than what we gave the night before.

Charles Davis- Let's go back to last September in Nashville at AmericanFest. You and Tanya sat in for Buddy Miller at the Cannery Ballroom and became one of the most talked about acts at the festival. You have been mentioned in Rolling Stone numerous times-- from being one of the artists that people should know about to being one of the top festival performances to check out. You've traveled the world-- right now, you're at the Calgary Folk Festival. You've traveled all summer engaging and exciting every single crowd that you have come across. Talk to me about what this year has meant to you both personally and professionally.

Michael Trotter Jr.- Ok. This has meant the world to me, personally, because I just never saw it coming. I think that if anything like this is going to happen to anybody, I think that it should happen this way, where it's not preconceived, it's not instigated... or it's not something that they expect to happen-you know? I just did not see this in the cards at all. It also means a lot to me because it's happening for Tanya again in a different way. And so for her, it proves that this is where she belongs. It wasn't an accident. She really has a gift that the entire world has to hear. Then after you think it through, because you know how we are as human beings, we gotta kind of analyze and intellectualize what's going on-- and when that's all done and said, you're like, “Okay, wait a minute, man. That is so dope.

I'm so grateful. I'm so humble. I'm happy. And so blessed.”

Every ear lobe that hears the sound of our voices has taken to it in a positive way.

One of the things that I love about you two the most is how you make people feel when they see you live. For example, the last time I saw you two was at The Shaky Knees Music Festival earlier this year in Atlanta. There was a couple standing next to me that had never seen you guys before but they heard “Down By The River” and were intrigued to come to the show. You and Tanya started singing “Till The Morning”. Halfway through the song, I felt a change throughout the crowd. You could have heard a pin drop in that venue at that point. I look around to see the crowd, and I can sense the love and the emotion flowing around the room. I look up on stage, Tanya is crying. I looked next to me, and the couple that I just met were embracing each other and crying. I know what it felt like from my vantage point in the crowd. What does it feel like when you are receiving all of that energy from the crowd on stage?

Through all of this, two legendary and influential individuals have been very vocal about how they feel about you and Tanya -- and those two people, among a lot of others, are Buddy Miller and Emmylou Harris. Talk to me about what their support and knowledge has meant to you all over this past year.

The main thing that is, has been... is educational because with their respect comes great responsibility. To be able to have the support of a Buddy Miller or Emmylou Harris, you want to make sure that you maintain the kind of character that they fell in love with. So we're constantly trying to live up to the legend standards. And I think that is something that a lot of new artists don't get a chance to do. They don't get a chance to be held accountable by those who came before you. And that's a beautiful thing, you know? So people, you know, they get starstruck when they hear that Emmylou Harris knows you, and she loves your music-- or Buddy Miller. But I don't get starstruck anymore. I got it the first time, but the second time I'm like, “Oh man, I gotta make sure that I'm on my P's and Q's, I gotta make sure that I'm living the message I'm talking about because I don't want to bring any kind of shame to their flawless characters and flawless careers.” You want to bring honor.

I just want to honor them, and Sam Bush and the like. They don't even have to be legends.

They can be legends in their own right or anyone who feels any kind of way about The War and Treaty-- even radio announcers like you Charles. We frequent you daily in our conversations. We just want to make sure that we are walking the walk and not making fools out of your testimonies.

With all of this touring recently, you also signed the deal to create a partnership between your Strong World Entertainment label and Thirty Tigers. How has that relationship been going since you all signed on?

It's been great. We have a great team, and it's been a wild ride, but it's been a worthy one.

And we're just excited to be able to release this record on the Thirty Tigers/Strong World Entertainment, which is our own imprint. It's dope man. We are happy about this first album, and hopefully, we will achieve--or at least start heading in the right direction to achieve-what our label name suggests in making our world stronger through entertainment.

The first release coming out is the band's first full length studio album Healing Tide.

What was the reason behind the album title?

Exactly the same reason behind the title of the record label. We really just see the weaknesses of our world-- and it's unnecessary. In trying to make anything better, there are challenges and you have to ask those challenges and you have to be able to see if people are willing to accept those challenges and Healing Tide is a direct reflection of that. To be able to say, “Hey, what if I told you, you would be the one to bring world peace,” you know? And the fact that we're talking about everybody, inevitably the question will get asked, “Who's the next world leader?” But what if we tell you that you could be the next King, the next Gandhi, the next Mother Teresa? Then, we have created a world of people who have accepted responsibility within themselves. And that's Healing Tide.

You all recorded this entire album at Buddy Miller's home studio. Now, I want to make sure I heard this correctly when I read it, so I want to hear from you. How long did it take you all to get this album done?

Five days.

WE PROMISE AT EVERY SHOW WE DO, WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GIVE MORE THAN WHAT WE GAVE THE NIGHT BEFORE

Eleven tracks in five days. Now, here's the other point I need some verification on: You recorded two takes of the songs because Buddy didn't believe that the first one could be that good? (laughing) First off, we actually did 14 tracks in those five days, and Buddy was like "no, we need to do it twice because I feel guilty. This is going too good.” We were like, “Okay, sure, whatever you say, man, let's do it.” It wasn't frivolous to me. We enjoyed it. But we didn't want to make a thing a thing. I mean, you know, if you got a good take, and you finished the song then move on-- and that's what we were doing. Fortunately, we didn't have to waste time.

The last time I saw you guys in Atlanta, I talked to you about ,and I asked you if the way The War and Treaty sounded in your head is the way that you hear it when you play live with the new band. I'll ask that question again, but in a different way. Does this album sound the way you envisioned it in your head when you guys started to work on it?

I'll be honest with you. It does not. Thank God it doesn't because again, this is just a testimony to the experience of a Buddy Miller versus the experience of a Michael Trotter Jr-- he knew his way around his studio. I don't. Buddy Miller's ear is tuned to what sells continued on page 37 11thHourOnline.com 35

The Rise of The War and Treaty, continued from page 35 records. My ear's tuned to what works live. And so being able to be with a producer who is as accomplished as Buddy Miller is, but who was humble as Buddy is... to say "Hey Michael, whatever experience you have, bring it and let's work together". He could have just told me that, “I'm producing this. Sit down. Shut up.” But Buddy took mine and Tanya's hands, and we walked through this valley of sound together. It's a more polished sound than Down To The River. But it is a solid sound, and when people hear it, they will see growth-- and I'm confident in the sound. I love what we have created together, and it even seems like some of the sounds may be a new thing to some. It's like, “Wow, you put a blues banjo in the middle of a thumping song like 'Jeep Cherokee Laredo'!”. Charles, this is what was so unique and cool about it. These guys we had working on this record are Grammy Award-winning musicians. You've got the legendary Sam Bush and just a bunch of other incredible musicians. But to see their excitement and their approach to every song, and just to see that the level of arrogance was at a negative 50, and for them to come to me and say, “Michael, sit down and play this for us,” and to watch them gather around me-- who is the newbie-- and watch them taking their notes and talk about the song. and looking at me and saying, “Play that chord again, Michael,” you know?

It was a confidence booster for me. I really just felt we were well taken care of in the studio with those legends.

for you?" And I think that is an important question to ask your spouse-- or anyone you're in a relationship with on a daily basis.

You got to check in, and we check in all the time. And sometimes that checking-in can get heated, or it can get sad. I can honestly say that if you love one another, it is not cause to end or break.

It builds you. I asked her all the time. In our moves and in our travels. Like right now, we're out here in Canada-- and our baby, he is all the way back in Nashville. And on the plane we were like, “Did we make the right decision?” So yeah, all the time.

TANYA IS ASKING ME A QUESTION OF "AM I LADY ENOUGH FOR YOU?".

AND I'M ASKING HER, YOU KNOW, "AM I MAN ENOUGH FOR YOU?" AND I THINK THAT IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOUR SPOUSE-- OR ANYONE YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.

The album in my opinion is incredible in the way that it fuses blues, and folk, and bluegrass, and gospel, and soul and everything that we love about music within the 11 tracks that you decided to put on the album. But my absolute favorite song on the album is “Hearts” because of the way your voices merge so perfectly in harmony.

I've literally been singing three part harmony with y'all ever since I heard it. Talk to me about where “Hearts” came from.

So first off, you sing so lovely on that three part. We heard it. We saw the video. We were on the road and I said, "Yo Tanya, y'all come look at this". (laughing) I'll tell you man, out of all of the songs, that one means a lot because it's one of the first songs I ever wrote for Tanya and I. I was pretty much trying to hold us together in a dark place and this dark space we were in. We were struggling. What people don't know-- and I'll disclose it here with you in this interview, Charles-- for the first five years of our marriage or our existing together period, we were homeless. We had a baby in 2011. We were living from house to house... in people's homes. We couldn't get work. We were struggling, man. It was a tough thing... for me to live this way. It was a humbling experience because I'm going to have to go in... and asking, “Would you mind taking us in for two weeks?”. I'm trying to get it together-- and everywhere we went, we were there for like two weeks. We did this on and off until about 2013, and we moved with a couple... and we were there for three more years. If it wasn't for the military and my pension that kicked in from them in 2014, I wouldn't be able to live. But in the course of all that, I remember we never lost our song, and I remember looking at Tanya... we had went through a tough one man. We were on the side of the road, and we were there for about six hours waiting on someone to come and give us a jump for our truck or to tow us. And I wrote two songs. I remember writing “Jeep Cherokee Laredo”. That was the vehicle that we were in, and people were passing us up. The vehicle was foggy, and I'm sure people were assuming there's something else going on. But that's what that song is about. It's about that moment.

But “Hearts”.. You know, the lyrics "On this road I've learned, it doesn't make sense without you. Because right would be wrong if we went through all of this alone. Separate in a dark.

With the lights still left on. But it wouldn't mean much to try to keep our love apart."? We were just thinking, “What if we separated for awhile? I mean, you went away and I went my way. I'm sure we could probably figure something out. We will have to live like this.”

My son Legend was in the picture then. But then I looked at it and said, “What if we did that? Man, we're still magnetic. We'd find our way right back to each other.” And then I looked at us, and in the midst of our struggle, in the midst of the homelessness... I looked at Tanya, myself, and our baby, and I thought to myself, “Nothing's more beautiful. Nothing is more beautiful. This is home. Home is right here.” And we worked it out, man. And that's what that song is about. And then in the hook, you know, through the course of 2015, I remember going back and thinking and rewriting. I would always ask Tanya "Am I good?

We good? Did I make a good move?". And in the chorus you'll hear that because I'm like "Give me a sign that I'm doing things right." Like am I doing this correct? Do you feel like we are making it now? Do you feel like we're beating this-- you know?

At this point where you are at now, do you still have that thought in your head? Do you still go to Tanya and ask "Are we good, babe? Do you still find yourself doing that?

Every day we do it. Like this morning, we just had a very, very intense conversation about womanhood and manhood and how we're applying it in our marriage. Tanya is asking me a question of "Am I lady enough for you?". And I'm asking her, you know, "Am I man enough

Now, last thing, I have heard rumors that you and Tanya have had Emmylou Harris's famous brownies, and that she brought them when you all recorded “Here Is Where The Love Is” for the album. Are they as good as I envisioned them in my mind?

Better, brother. I feel like this is important to share. This was on my birthday, and I thought she was still in London because she was doing a European tour, but Emmy came in that morning. She flew back into Nashville, went to her house and made those brownies-- and then came to Buddy's house to bring them to us. And you know, I will say something...

She didn't do it because of me, she did it because of her heart. And I have proof of that because I know a violinist that I've told the same story to in Nashville, who volunteers for Emmy's animal rescue shelter. She said there are nights where they have to work overtime, and they have to work late-- and Emmy will leave. And we think that she's going home. Nope.

She's going home to bake brownies, and she brings them back because she knows that they're going to be working late. This woman's a goddess. She's an angel, and we are privileged, and blessed, and honored to have her walk Earth.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

THE MULLIGAN BROTHERS

BY AARON IRONS

I was delivering copies of this fine publication, radio tuned to 100.9, and I heard The Mulligan Brothers' “Great Granddaddy's War”. Mulligan.

Do over. I lingered too long at a red light (sorry if you were behind me), listening to the singer lament the curse of Southern pride, the unfortunate side effect of being born here—to be judged based on the bones of men long since buried and surely converted to dust. As I maneuvered through Macon, I considered that particular song—and I wondered about the band.

The Mulligan Brothers formed up around Mobile, Alabama in 2013.

It'd be tough to describe their style as anything other than Americana.

If you're a fan of the genre proper (and not necessarily the many offshoots, interpretations, re-imaginings, and constructs) then you won't find anything particularly original—but the Mulligan Brothers, through principal songwriter Ross Newell, are following in the grooves of songwriters like Jason Isbell who identify with the beauty of the South while attempting to reconcile its past. Bassist Ben Leininger, drummer George Deluca, and recent Mulligan “sister”, violinist Melody Duncan, complete the group.

On June 1st, The Mulligan Brothers released their third album, Songs for the Living and Otherwise. Though the group had previously worked with producer Steve Berlin (The Blasters, Los Lobos, Marcia Ball), The Mulligan Brothers opted to keep everything in house for the charmed third time. Production and recording was handled at Newell's home with the final mixdown earning a treatment from fellow Mobile resident and Grammy-winning producer/engineer, Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Grayson Capps, Brandi Carlile).

The Mulligan Brothers spent the last five years engaging the Mobile music scene before breaking out to nationally win over fans on the festival circuit. They've also found admirers among their contemporaries and critics. Originally, the band chose their name as a light joke, referencing the fact that they'd done it all before—playing in different groups, writing, rehearsing, performing—with no real satisfaction. Mulligan. Do over.

Likely, the Mulligan Brothers have a healthy grasp of who they are as a unit, and with this latest album, will continue to explore their place as mirrors of the South they want to see.

FEATURED SHOW

INTO THE MYSTIC Former Allman Brothers Band “Tour Mystic” and world renowned photographer Kirk West sits down to talk about some of his favorite music.

He’s seen it all, and taken photographs of most of it. West’s career began in Chicago in the 1960s, where he photographed Frank Zappa, Muddy Waters, and Junior Wells to name a few. Later on, he found himself on the Outlaw Country Circuit, chronicling the likes of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and George Jones while capturing some of the most iconic moments in country music history. Then there were the Tom Waits’ years, Bob Marley, and the list goes on and on. Into the Mystic takes on a different form each episode—all blues or all country, British invaders or obscure jazz. The common thread is each phenomenal story from the life of Kirk West. Gallery West is located at 447 Third Street in downtown Macon.

Presented by Houston Healthcare, join tour mystic Kirk West every Wednesday at 7 p.m. as he delves into the deeper side of the music.

Taking a break from this electronic STEVE FORBERT / That'd Be Alright / Blue Rose Music routine is singer-songwriter Rayland Baxter, who actually spent three straight RODNEY CROWELL / Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight / RC1 Records months writing and recording in an abandoned rubber band factory outside ELVIN of BISHOP'S BIG FUN TRIO / Something Smells Funky 'Round Here / Alligator Records Franklin, KY. The solitude was what he needed to channel the creative sound WWW.AMERICANARADIO.ORG and approach to his lyrical stories, and the result is the ten-song collection, Wide Awake.

Baxter enlisted the help of producer Butch Walker as well as Cage the Elephant’s Nick Bockrath on guitar, Eric Slick (Dr. Dog) on drums, and Aaron Embry (Elliott Smith, Brian Eno) on keys. The band has created an album that is very reminiscent in terms of sound to post-Beatles John Lennon—and the similarities to music after the Fab Four does not stop there. Some of the tracks even have a Paul McCartney & Wings vibe to them. “79 Shiny Revolvers” is a standout song that comes out as the most Beatles-laden song with a near “Happiness is a Warm Gun” representation of sound and subject. “Casanova” is an album highlight of grooving summer fun. It works as a track where all musicians are locked in and jamming with retro flare. The album’s opening track, “Strange American Dream,” is a peace-loving reminder of our sad, current state of affairs. Baxter may have been spending his time recording in isolation, but that did not remove him from the depth of separation that our country is enduring— and that has found its way into Wide Awake.

LAINEY WILSON

SELWYN BIRCHWOOD

Wilson’s rural Louisiana accent lays the foundation for her retro-classic country tone, which renders her a unique voice in today’s modern country scene. Having opened for several major artists such as Joe Nichols, Andy Griggs, Josh Thompson, Dylan Scott, Kevin Sharp, Deana Carter, Tracey Lawrence, William Michael Morgan, and Jamie Lynn Spears, Wilson’s energetic live show blends elements of classic Southern Rock bands and bold female country paradigms like Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn.

—laineywilson.com

With his fiery guitar and lap steel playing, his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs and gritty, unvarnished vocals, Selwyn Birchwood is among the most extraordinary young stars in the blues. His deep familiarity with blues tradition allows him to bust the genre wide open, adding new sounds, colors and textures, all delivered with a revival tent preacher's fervor and a natural storyteller's charisma. With his new album, Pick Your Poison, Birchwood takes a major step forward, crafting visionary blues for a new generation of forward-looking fans.
