social media and little ones who draw pictures of her kicking to give her after games. Rodenroth also spends her time volunteering with Special Olympics sailing at Lake Tobosofkee.

• She has had a successful year so far, going 16-18 in PAT’s and knocking through her first field goal in her team’s 16-10 win over West Laurens on September 28th.

RUNNING COMMENTARY Remember the first time you heard Bob Dylan? Not listened to but actually heard what he was saying? I do—and it wasn’t even Bob singing. There was a spot on Clark Hill Lake where I grew up, we called it The Point, and the good memories of that time and place outnumber the bad. We camped there all year long, found it after Friday night football games, swam in the summer. It was the ideal place for 15-year-old-me to sit with a pawnshop guitar and figure out who I wanted to be.

On one particular day, my best friend and I walked onto the point to find a man drawing a small, fiberglass boat out of the water. The dude had a droopy mustache, the kind I’ve always associated with Vietnam War protesters. He smiled when he saw us, introduced himself as “Jaybird”—and his eyes lit up when he noticed the Yamaha classical guitar in my hand.

Jaybird had the demeanor of someone who’s perpetually “high”, or was perpetually high for so long at an interval that it simply became his natural state. He could’ve been 40 or 60.

I’ll tell you that I was wary, raised to be so around strangers in the wild, but when he finally said, “What kind of music do you play?”, my pride brimmed above my paranoia. At the time, I hadn’t even been playing the guitar a year, but Neil Young had sorta become my guru. “Folk rock”, I told Jaybird.

Can you believe that? F----n’ folk rock. I played something, “Old Man” or “Rockin’ in the Free World” maybe. “Man, that’s great,” he said. “I used to play, a long time ago. You think I could see that guitar?”

Unsure, I handed the guitar to Jaybird. He was wearing a denim jacket, and the buttons thumped against the bell. I offered him a pick. “Nah.” He strummed with his right thumb, twisted a machine head then began to play and sing, “Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’, I was layin’ in bed…” His voice faded after a minute and he stopped, held out the Yamaha.

It was all he could remember, but it was enough. Do you remember the thunderbolts of your youth? That’s what I felt.

“Did you write that?” I asked. Jaybird looked at me funny, grinned and said, “Hell, no! That’s Dylan!” The air relaxed around us. We chatted for a bit. Jaybird spoke the vagueries of a man who (I would learn this later on in life, but unfortunately not that much later) had spent some time in prison. He’d just gotten back to the area and was staying with his brother. He bummed a cigarette (yes, I was smoker then) and asked if we thought his boat would be safe there for a little while. We said it would. I never saw him again, you know?

It’s been 25 years since Jaybird played “Tangled Up in Blue”.

I’ve lost or replaced a lot of those memories—the songs, the people. Can you lose an emotion? The Point still exists geographically, but spiritually it faded long ago. It’s almost comical to me how I never forgot Jaybird, that moment. Or the song. I’ve played that song in front of thousands of people and sitting alone in my room. I play the chords the same way I saw Jaybird make them. I wonder what they look like when Dylan plays them?

11 QUESTIONS WITH MAYHEM‘S COACH

LEO THOMAS ONE Right off the bat (or stick), I want to ask you something that I think everybody wants to know— what was it like the first time you got hit in the face with a puck?

It really didn’t hurt too much because with all the adrenaline, you barely feel it. You feel it more the next day. I lost three teeth from it though.

TWO Tell me what you've been doing over the summer to get ready for the season?

More than anything, I’ve been doing a lot of recruiting. I’ve been on the phone day in, day out trying to bring the right players to Macon.

a chant makes for better energy in the arena, which our players can feed off of. It creates a good atmosphere. I’d say the strangest game day antic I ever saw was an old teammate of mine in Laredo eating two bowls of spaghetti between periods.

That’s pretty weird.

FIVE As a coach, what kind of player are you looking for?

Someone who's better on the skates or someone with a more physical presence?

It’s always good to have players who can skate and battle and be physical. But more than anything, I’m looking for good, team-first guys who are respectful to their teammates.

THREE I was looking at your player history—Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas... You've been playing hockey in the South for a lot of years. What do you miss the most about Canada when you're down here? And what do you miss about Georgia when you go home?

One thing I definitely miss is the ice and snow.

I love the cold weather, it’s what I grew up with.

I miss playing in outdoor rinks. But when I go back home, I really miss the barbecue and food from Georgia.

SIX What kind of music do you listen to before a game?

Or what does your road trip playlist look like?

I’m a big hip hop fan. I like all kinds of music, but my playlist is mostly hip hop.

FOUR Are there any hockey traditions you'd like to see Mayhem fans adopt? Are there any game day antics that you think are strange?

I’d like to hear some chants. Going to a hockey rink and seeing fans come up with a cheer or

EIGHT What's a better representation of hockey— Slapshot or Goon?

I’d say Slapshot. The “goon” doesn’t play a very big part in hockey these days. It’s a role that’s slowly been fading from the game.

SEVEN What's the weirdest thing you ever bought from Walmart?

I bought a bacon-scented pillow one time. What can I say? I was hungry, tired, and curious all at the same time. Seemed like a perfect buy.

NINE What was the transition from player to coach like?

Did anyone offer any helpful advice? And what advice have you developed for new hockey players?

It was tough for the first month or two, knowing I could still be out there playing—so it was pretty hard. But after the first couple months, I settled in and realized that coaching was something I loved to do. The transition was fairly easy after that. I just dealt with it on my own. I had a special group, so it was really easy. It’s a job so you have to take it seriously. Eat the right way, always training and trying to make yourself better. Your career will go by faster than you think, so enjoy it and make the most out of it every day.

TEN Who's your favorite hockey player of all time?

Who's your favorite professional wrestler?

And which one would win in a fist fight?

Jarome Iginla. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold would win off the ice, Jarome on the ice.

ELEVEN You come from a family of hockey players. Do reunions usually end up on the ice? Or is there some dinner table variation of hockey that you've developed for special occasions?

Yeah, they do in the summers. At some point in the summer, we’re all on the ice. All the kids and my nephews. We’re all together for dinners, too.

We’re all out there as a family.

Kirk West’s 50,000 SHADES OF GRAY ALBERT COLLINS Kirk’s Studio Chicago,1984

Albert was a killer showman for sure. A stinging guitar sound, amazing rapid technique. The Iceman they called him, and he could freeze you out in the hot Chicago clubs of the day! Albert had the longest guitar cord anybody had ever seen, and many nights on N. Sheridan Road near the lakefront at Biddy Mulligans, Albert would strut out the front door of the club, takin’ some of the audience with him. He’d head out into the street and rip it up while holdin’ back the traffic! The Iceman indeed. This shot was from an album cover session for his next Alligator Records release. Shootin’ Albert in the studio with no audience was no problem either. I just said, "Albert, give me 2am at The Mines!" —and this is what he gave me!!! Some like it hot indeed!!!

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.

2018-19 MACON MAYHEM

SEASON PREVIEW A long, hot summer has come to an end in Macon, prompting the return of the frozen sport to the Heart of Georgia.

aside from a few tweaks, but we’ve taken pride in being a hardworking, in-your-face type of team that is strong defensively, and we will continue to be this season.”

On April 20th, 2018, the Macon Mayhem’s defense of the President’s Cup came to a bitter end at the Macon Centreplex. They were narrowly defeated by the Huntsville Havoc in a decisive 3-2 result, which ended the Mayhem’s season and removed their title as the defending champions of the Southern Professional Hockey League.

One of the first items on the agenda was selecting a new Assistant Coach to fill the vacancy, so one of Thomas’ first moves as Head Coach was to hire a sidekick behind the bench. A former forward, Thomas decided to bring aboard a former blue-liner—one of the best defensemen to ever don the Mayhem uniform.

The seemingly endless offseason which followed has all but concluded, and while it taunted players and fans alike for months, it served an incredibly critical purpose for the Mayhem. Restructuring had to be done at all levels of the organization, with a number of important staff members and players moving on to new opportunities.

A new coaching staff, a new General Manager, and a collection of new players have now formed an alliance with the several returning veterans on the roster. Together, they are fixated on preparing for October 19th, 2018, when a new campaign will begin 183 days after the last one ended.

A member of the championship-winning Mayhem from 2016-17, Ryan Michel has become the first former Mayhem player to be named to the coaching staff. He led all defensemen on the team in scoring both seasons he played in Macon from 201517, and he retired a champion before making his coaching debut with a Division III college program in New York last season. The 26-year-old got the exciting phone call in June and was elated to return to his professional roots.

Kevin Kerr, who had been the Head Coach and General Manager of the Mayhem since the team’s inaugural season, has moved on to coach the Greenville Swamp Rabbits of the East Coast Hockey League. His departure after three seasons left a daunting abyss at the apex of the franchise, but it was promptly addressed with the promoting of two eager and capable individuals who had both been with the Mayhem for years.

Leo Thomas had served under Kerr for two seasons as an Assistant Coach, helping to lead Macon to its first-ever championship in his first year behind the bench. The Toronto, ON native has been an integral part of two highly successful campaigns and is very familiar with the bulk of the players expected to compose the upcoming roster. While he played a key role in the team’s successes in the Kerr era, Thomas looks forward to bringing his own flavor to the table for 2018-19.

“Taking over this special group means a lot to me,” Thomas said. “The past two years have been amazing and I’m excited for this opportunity to coach these guys and get going. To be honest, I don’t think I will need to change a lot with systems

“I’m thrilled to be back, I’ve always considered Macon to be my second home and am looking forward to getting the season underway,” Michel said. “Coaching professionals and former teammates provides a unique challenge which I am very excited to undertake.”

Not only has there been a substantial overhaul on the hockey operations front, but with the front office, as well. With Kerr’s promotion to the ECHL, the team needed a new General Manager. Given his extensive background in client relations combined with his hockey knowledge, it was quite clear that the job would go to Assistant General Manager Blair Floyd. Floyd had been with the Mayhem for two seasons already and had overseen office personnel and corporate contracts. He had also had prior SPHL experience, having worked in corporate sales with the Augusta Riverhawks before coming to Macon.

“I’m excited we’re entering our fourth year here in Macon,” Floyd said. “Since I’ve been here, I’ve placed a heavy emphasis on the fan experience. We’ve taken great strides towards making the game day environment over the top for our fans. We’ve put together a great staff. Everyone’s very excited to be here, and we can’t wait to get the season started.”

EAT THIS

RED VELVET STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE FELICIA’S CAKE FACTORY 365 THIRD STREET, MACON

The pink walls of Felicia’s Cake Factory sing with cupcake inspirationals, pastry propaganda that positively affirms that all one really needs is love… and a cupcake! It’s not a tough philosophy to embrace either. Owner/operator Felicia Howard got bit by the baking bug and what began as a sweet hobby for the former respiratory therapist rapidly formed into a passion. “I enjoyed the decorating aspect—and then I needed to have something that tasted as good as it looked,” says Felicia, who just celebrated a year at her downtown Macon bakery. Specialties include custom cakes for weddings, baby showers, or any occasion that requires a sweet touch—but anytime is a good time for cake. Stop for a slice of Felicia’s Red Velvet Strawberry Shortcake—alternating layers of fresh strawberries, light cake, moist red velvet cake, and signature cream cheese icing. Or take a whole cake home and surprise everyone! From classic brownies and cookies to signature selections made with Hennessy cognac, Felicia’s Cake Factory has a treat for every moment!

A CONVERSATION WITH

AMY RAY

BY AARON IRONS PHOTOS BY BRIAN FISHER

NEVER ONE TO REST, Amy Ray is preparing to hit the road in support of her latest album, Holler. The singer-songwriter and Indigo Girl is once again in troubadour mode, channeling the roots rock that’s nearly always existed in her work while not bothering to knock the trail dust off her boots from her previous effort, 2014’s excellent Goodnight Tender. Like its predecessor, Holler can be labeled a “country music” album—but that’s almost a disservice.

There’s no flag-waving, no litany of branding that proclaims country-ness (as it seems that most identified country songs today apparently require the repetition of certain tropes to prove their singer’s authenticity), and no blind, blanket affirmations.

Instead, Amy Ray and her band have enlisted a who’s who of unbelievable talent from multiple genres to create a fully realized story that has a bit of a Georgia twang to it. But why wouldn’t it?

You got your new record, Holler. It's absolutely packed with guest stars and special appearances. How did you get any actual work done with all those folks around? Brandi Carlile, Derek Trucks, the Wood Brothers... Seems like you'd just been hanging out—or did you just turn the tape on and just let it go the way it did?

Well, with the guests like those guys... I recorded the record with the band, and the core band was my folks that I've toured with for a long time, along with Kofi Burbridge and Alison Brown on banjo, and then to get Brandi and the Wood Brothers and Derek... actually, they had to do it remotely in their own place... and so I wasn't hanging with them. They're all pretty busy. I'd call Brandi up and say, "I want to do this, I want to get this vocal track. Can you do it?", and she's like, "I've got a studio I can go to and do that." And then with Derek, they were working down in his studio in Florida, and so he did it down there, and Vince [Gill] did it in his own city, and the Wood Brothers did the same thing. All the guest vocals are like that. Now, all the music, and the horns, and the strings—and Alison Brown playing banjo and Kofi on keys... and then my core band, which is Jeff Fielder on guitar, Adrian Carter on fiddle, Matt Smith on pedal steel, Jim Brock on drums and Kerry Brooks on bass. Those guys... We

all met together in Asheville, North Carolina at Echo Mountain Studio, and we recorded straight to tape... and just did it in like eight days and then got everything else collected after that.

One of the things I liked about the record is that analog recording. Nothing sounds like it. I mean, digital is great for preservation and all, but analog just sounds so... so hot and nice. I never would have considered an Amy Ray, Vince Gill collaboration... Is that him singing? When he comes in on "Last Taxi Fare"?

(Laughs) Yeah, that's him!

How did that all come together?

Well, it was a fantasy of mine (laughs)! I love Vince Gill so much, and I love his voice. He's classic. He's just got the greatest voice! I wrote that song and then really wanted Brandi on it—and I was like, "It would be amazing if I could get Vince Gill to sing with Brandi and with me on that song!" So I was just kinda talking about it with my friend Alison Brown, who plays banjo on the record, and she's like, "Oh, I'm friends with him. You want me to ask him?" And I was like, "Yes! Of course, I do!" He's a gentleman and such a sweet guy. I asked him, and he was like, "Yeah, I'll do it!" And it was a dream come true for me... for that song, just to have them on there. Because when I was writing, when I was finishing it, I was thinking about his voice and Brandi's voice— and it just happened to come true! It was really good.

I think that's the third time you've mentioned Alison Brown. I have so many notes about her—and that banjo, which is not natural. It's absolutely amazing, what she does! Is it as much fun to watch her do it as it is to listen?

Yeah, it actually is. I mean, she's like a quiet storm. When she plays, she's very precise and laid back at the same time. She's super focused, and her fingers are doing things you shouldn't be able to do really (laughs)! It's hard to even take apart how she does it—but to watch her do it, you can kind of get a glimpse into the miracle of it. It's like Bela Fleck and all the great bluegrass players. They just have a... it's almost like jazz, you know? She was great to be in the studio with. She recorded a lot of stuff live

continued from page 25 with us, and it was super inspiring to have her come up with these wild parts that were like, "Where did that come from?

Where's that inspiration coming from?" I was really, really happy to be with her in the studio. She's amazing.

You've been kind of immersing yourself in a more... bluegrass, Appalachian, honky tonk style for the last couple of years. What started you down that path? Or was it just kinda like a natural progression? Like a "as we get older, our accents get thicker" kind of deal?

(Laughs) No doubt about it! Well, a couple things. When I started making solo records in 2001, I was making... more punk rock records. This was with my friends that played punk, and that was kind of what I did on the side, you know?

I moved up to North Georgia about 25 years ago, and I guess that kind of seeped into my blood because I live in a town called Dahlonega that's got a lot of bluegrass, and mountain players, and traditional music around. They're always playing on the Dahlonega Square. The gospel tent kinda goes during the festivals—and I went to camp up there when I was a kid, so it's always kind of been part of my cosmos in a way. There's a real strong tie, I think, between traditional country and punk rock... and the Carter family and mountain music... that's really simple in some ways but really complex in another way. It has kind of a populist sort of idea about it.

Music for the people and all that. So I think it was. For me, it was a natural progression. Yeah. I think you get older and sometimes country music just... it's fun to listen to, and fun to play, and I think it's multigenerational in a way that some other music isn't. In my band, I have a guy who's only like 24 and then I think my drummer's in his late sixties. We just run the gamut of ages and we have all that influence in different eras and stuff too. I just like the vibe of it. And I am a country music fan! I've always been. That's a real craft, I think. A country song takes a certain amount of craft. It's very hard to achieve. I worked for a long time, kind of under the radar, trying to figure out how to write what I heard in my head.

One of the things I've always admired about you, and I know I'm not alone... Whether you were with Emily in the Indigo Girls or running your own band, you've always come across as an artist and a songwriter, that knows who you are and what you want to say. Whether that was punk music or now with a... I would say Americana-country style or sound to it. You've always just seemed like, "I know what I'm doing."

Well, I don't know if I know what I'm doing, (laughs) but I know what I want to do. I'm always a student in some ways, trying to learn and be curious about how people play and how they write. When I wanted to become a better writer, I read a bunch of books about writing. One of them, Stephen King's On Writing, was one of the best books I ever read about writing—which is weird because it's coming from left field in a way. But it taught me about sitting down and writing. Then I would talk to Steve Earle about his process or sit down with different friends I have that are just songwriters in Nashville—Mary Gauthier, Kristen Hall, who wrote for Sugarland—and just talked to them about their process and learned from it. I've always just been compelled, and Emily too, to get better at what we do, not ever stop learning.

Because I'm just not where I want to be yet, you know? And I feel like I probably never will be. But that's the whole thing!

That's the journey of it, right?

So that's what keeps you evolving? You haven't reached that end yet. Constantly looking-And I hear new people and discover music, even if it's old music, that I hadn't heard before. For instance, on this record, there's a song called "Fine with the Dark". I wrote that because I was trying to learn how to finger pick in this way that Elizabeth Cotton kind of invented. She's an African American woman who was in the middle of the century, [born in the] 1900s and then died when she was pretty old but wrote a lot of really cool songs. There's a video of her

playing that musicologists collected so you can watch her fingers. And I saw this video of Colter Wall doing some tunes up in Canada—and he was doing a similar thing, and I was like, "I got to learn how to do that!" It's really hard to do it.

You got to spend a lot of years to really get it. I mean, for him, it's just part of him. He probably came out of the womb playin' like that (laughs)! I'm a music fan, I think. is most of what it is. And I like to listen to new music and old music and figure out how it's put together.

Well, I think when you play music, a lot of times you seem to tune out what's going on around you. I never noticed that about you because you always seem to have someone that you're mentoring or somebody that's coming up and asking you "What do I do next, and how I do this?" I've spoken to countless Georgia musicians, and your name always comes up as someone who's always there ready to lend a helping hand.

Well, we've been mentored too, you know? By Georgia musicians, you know? Coming up on the Atlanta scene and playing in Athens a lot, we had all these bands that were just a little bit older than us that would give us slots opening for them—like Drivin N Cryin or Caroline Aiken—and we would get opportunities to play during their breaks, or they would tell us about gigs. So for us, it's just doing it the other way, you know? It's a community. You build community.

That's what you do because it makes it richer for everybody.

How's being a mother challenged your songwriting? Or has it?

Well, you know, it's like a time management issue mostly! (Laughs) I love being a mom so much, and so I have to compartmentalize and find my little times—and it's shorter lengths of time to write when I'm at home. But when I'm on the road touring, I do a lot of my writing then because my kid is not with me. I try to spend all my time working when I'm not playing shows at night and doing work during the day so that when I get home, I'm just being Mom. My kid is pretty curious about music, so we go into my little studio together and play. I'll write songs with her. There's a song on this record called "Oh City Man" that I wrote while I was sitting there with her jamming on something—and she likes the way it was going and told me that I should finish it. (Laughs) So I did! My kids kind of rocker! We got in the car the other day and she asked me to play "Back In Black" by ACDC for her. I was like, "Where is this coming from?" But I think it's because her cousin— he's seven and he's learning all these hot shot guitar parts— he's playing like Guns n' Roses and ACDC and stuff. And I was like, "Let me play you some Joan Jett too!"

BO TALKS

THE LAST RIDE

The autumn breeze was crisp as we stood in line at the 1995 Georgia Fair.

I’d nearly lost my stomach after the Tomahawk, so my group of friends— sympathetic to my plight—had agreed that we could take a break from the more vigorous rides and go for a spin on the high-flying swings. After getting strapped into our seats, the towering machine lifted us up into the air. The wind was even cooler, and the view of the fair at night from such a high vantage point was surprisingly lovely. As the swings began to build momentum, the operator/DJ began playing some sort of stylistic precursor to Darude’s Sandstorm. Around and around we went, and despite the intensity of the music, I felt like my stomach might be back under control. That’s when they hit the button that made the swings dip occasionally… adding an entirely different sensation.

With each drop and lift, my confidence waned. Cotton candy, a chilidog, most of a funnel cake, and who knows how much soda sloshed against the insides of my belly. I closed my eyes and tried to breath deep figuring if I could make it to the end of the song, I’d be home-free. As the music blasting through the speakers came to an end, the DJ interrupted with a scream, “ONE MORE SONG!”, and the opening of another frantic 90’s rave song shook the ground. Swinging around high above the fairgrounds, there was little I could do. I was a time bomb with no fuse left to burn. I leaned to the

side to expel all the formerly delicious fair foods over my outside shoulder.

I could faintly hear someone waiting in line down below exclaiming, “Hey! That kid is throwing up!” That’s when I realized that the people in line were standing directly below the ride—those thoughts were fleeting, as I had much more throwing up to do. I leaned forward, sending the rest of my stomach between my dangling legs. As a rain of vomit fell on the (mostly) unsuspecting fair-goers, I was able to regain some semblance of social awareness. That’s when I really began paying attention to what the people below were saying. I’ll never forget the profoundly confident proclamation made by one angry man, “I’m gonna cut that little bastard’s head off!”

As we were lowered, I no longer cared that I was covered in puke. My very life was in jeopardy. Then a miracle happened. One of the ride operators, having observed everything and aware of my impending beat-down, rushed over and hurriedly escorted me out the back through a break in the guardrail.

I bought a new shirt at the first vendor I could find, and never rode another fair ride again.

Bo Walker is a local writer, who wants to publicly apologize to anyone who might have been in the crowd that unfortunate night. They probably remember it as clearly as he does.

DO THIS

BOB DYLAN EDITION

BY AARON IRONS

He’s a cultural and multi-generational icon, a best-selling writer, and a Nobel Prize winner. Bob Dylan is simply on a different level—and one that may never be reached again. In honor of his scheduled visit to Macon on October 27th, I thought it would be fun to explore a few of my favorite (and ridiculous) aspects from and about Bobby D’s career. This edition’s Required Listening took some thinkin’—how does one pick just one Dylan album? I also wanted to include something from his film… ahem, “career”. If you’re a fan then you probably read Chronicles: Volume One (Vol. 2 possibly on the horizon?)—but I’m surprised how many folks haven’t read Anthony Scaduto’s book. I consider it a “must read”, not just for devotees, but for young songwriters and performers. I also went on the hunt for a bottle of Heaven’s Door Whiskey. How was it? Well, kids…

WATCH THIS

HEARTS OF FIRE I won’t tell you Hearts of Fire is a good movie. It’s a half-assed, un-hip, 1980s would-be rock n’ roll picture that was cast with either a dart board or that wheel from Thunderdome. Redeeming factors are the use of John Hiatt’s “The Usual”, and Bob Dylan’s performance in a barn surrounded by clucking chickens—which only works taken out of context. Barely released in Europe and not at all in America, Hearts of Fire is a terrible film—and it’s one of my absolute favorites! Fiona Flanagan plays Molly McGuire (seriously), a bar band singer who goes from zero to pop star after partnering up with the middle-aged, semi-retired rocker, Billy Parker—played by middle-aged rocker, Bob Dylan. At some point, McGuire and Parker (sounds like the title to a buddy cop show) hook up with the Brit Pop sensation James Colt (played by a mulleted Rupert Everett) who’s hit song happens to be an over-synthesized version of the already over-synthesized “Tainted Love”. Nobody thought to have the actual songwriter in the movie actually write any songs? Joe Eszterhas gets credit for the script—and if the plot seems eerily like a rough draft to Showgirls, it probably was. It’s difficult to pinpoint who this film was designed to enhance and who it was intended to reach. There’s a stab at a love triangle that never gets traction, plot’s a prairie dog ghost town, there’s wasted cameos from Richie Havens and Ian Dury, and the most bizarre aspect of Hearts of Fire is its director—Richard Marquand. Sound familiar? He also directed Return of The Jedi. All of this leads me to caution while compelling you to WATCH THIS MOVIE! I rented it for sixty-nine cents in 1994. You can stream it on Amazon right now for $2.99. Even at four times the price, Hearts of Fire is 95 minutes of your life you won’t mind losing.

DRINK THIS

HEAVEN’S DOOR DOUBLE BARREL WHISKEY There’s no shortage of collaborations in the whiskey world, and I shrugged when Bob Dylan announced he’d partner with Angel’s Envy co-founder Marc Bushala. Even though I’m a whiskey drinker, such pairings rarely excite me. You might luck out and write a hit song in fifteen minutes, but good bourbon takes time. The first round of Heaven’s Door Whiskey hit the market this past spring featuring a blended Double Barrell Whiskey, a Tennessee Bourbon, and a Straight Rye. Until Heaven’s Door gets their own distillery running, all whiskeys are outsourced. The bottles are covered in raised depictions of wrought ironworks from the weldin’ mind of Dylan. I called a pal to procure me a bottle, and he selected the 100 proof Double Barrel Whiskey. The price raised an eyebrow but didn’t widen the eyes (less than a bottle of my favorite Michter’s US 1, more than Old No. 7). The website states that it’s aged “another” year in toasted oak casks. The first sip leads me to believe that the original components were a year to two years old. The flavor profile is entirely wood. I don’t agree with the website’s assertion of caramel and spice, but I totally found the oak and bitter orange peel. After a healthy sip or four, I decided to see how Heaven’s Door held up in a “bar” old fashioned.

Not my favorite thing. But this is “DO” this not “don’t”—so should you? For sippin’, I prefer something more mature. For mixin’, Heaven’s Door Double Whiskey is okay—but it don’t beat Jack. I am still planning on finding a bottle of the rye and bourbon, and I’ll be on the lookout for the Bootleg Series next year too. Bottom line? I’m looking forward to Dylan’s performance here in Macon on October 27th.

REQUIRED LISTENING

HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED BOB DYLAN Nobody has a favorite Dylan album.

That's a topic that can carry a conversation into the night—or an argument into the next morning. The man himself seemed to enjoy polarizing his admirers. In 1965, Dylan released Bringing It All Back Home. The album, along with his outlaw performance at the Newport Folk Festival a few months later, split the dynamic into two sides— acoustic and electric. Dylan was daring his audience to choose. Of course, you didn't have to—and that August, Highway 61 Revisited didn't even bother straddlin' the fence. Dylan plugged in his stratocaster, cranked it and surrounded himself with some of the crunchiest, funkiest tones of the entire decade. “Like A Rolling Stone” became an anthem that influenced everyone from the Beatles to the Stones to Hendrix and beyond. Bobby D digs down into his rock n' roll DNA with some distinctly rockabilly rhythms on “Tombstone Blues” and “From A Buick 6”. There's a dissonant, anti-pop quality to “Queen Jane Approximately” that must've tickled John Lennon to tears while the whistlin' boogie-woogie of the title track simply drives south, windows down in the dust, sun in the rearview mirror. Dylan follows the honky tonkin' “Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues” with the epic finality of “Desolation Row”. With that, Dylan does what his previous album claimed.

There's nothing there to trim—not a word from the ridiculous narrative, certainly not Charlie McCoy's inspired and roving guitar work.

Every character on “Desolation Row” has a face, every face name, and the ultimate verse is among the greatest ever written or recorded. Nobody has or could have a favorite Dylan album. There's always one more that could be a contender. But if you need a suggestion, I've always got one. Today it's Highway 61 Revisited.

READ THIS

BOB DYLAN

BY ANTHONY SCADUTO Anthony Scaduto wrote about crime and the mob.

I wonder what his coworkers at the New York Post thought when he took a leave of absence to write about Bob Dylan? They probably said a prayer for Bob—because if he had a secret to keep or a skeleton to hide, Scaduto would find it. Published in 1972, Bob Dylan is still considered one of the best books ever written about the subject. Scaduto dives into the mythology of Dylan—built on a decade of music, mystery, conjecture, and fabrication—with all the technique of an investigative reporter starving for the truth. From his upbringing in Minnesota to those first wild years couch surfing in New York City, Scaduto places the man on terra firma—and if Dylan doesn’t always come across as a sympathetic character, it’s because he’s not. Maybe that’s why Bob actually read and liked the book—because Scadutto wasn’t trying to debunk the myth but understand the man. It’s an excellent place to start for new and old fans alike, a look at one the Earth’s greatest songwriters coming to terms with the success he wasn’t sure he wanted—and how he’d earned it. I’d call it the best book ever written about Bob Dylan, but I haven’t read them all.

WHITEY MORGAN THE INTERVIEW BY AARON IRONS

Some people, as they get older, become increasingly critical of the state of contemporary music.

Not me, though—I’ve I always had an opinion, and I don’t mind sharing it. The controversy around rock n’ roll has raged since even before Elvis first shook his pelvis on TV—and each generation since has claimed innovation or the truest identity. In recent years, R&B and Hip Hop have felt a division of the ages while pop music always goes with the flow, rises and falls with the tide of youth. As it should, I suppose. By its very nature, pop music is destined to fade with the sunrise, and new teenagers are waking up every second—but country music has always seemed to be made of sterner stuff. At least it used to be. Of course, what country music is or isn’t has been viciously debated since Jimmie Rodgers first sang about a train, and once again, opinions vary. That’s why I enjoyed talking to Whitey Morgan. He doesn’t mind sharing his opinion either—but his country music philosophy is simple: Work hard, play good songs. I believe if we adopted that ethic across all genres of music… well, what a world that would be. continued on page 37 11thHourOnline.com 35

THANK YOU! 36 OCTOBER 12–25, 2018

continued from page 35 AI- Let's, immediately start talking about this new record, Hard Times and White Lines. You went back to the Sonic Ranch. What pulled you back to that room to make this record?

WM- The last record we did there, it came together so easily—and it was just a low-stress environment, which is good for me. I'm not a big fan of the studio as it is, so any place they can kind of make me feel comfortable—and where I can put out a good record—is, of course, going to draw me back in. There's just something about Sonic Ranch... it's in the middle of nowhere, and there's just no distractions and the staff 's great. All the studio rooms are great, all the mixing consoles are the real deal. As far as the pros and cons list, the pros list is pretty long for that place.

I read where you said that Hard Times and White Lines actually sounds like a “Whitey Morgan record”. Have you reached a point now where you think you have defined "what" you sound like?

And for anybody who's just reading this and isn't familiar—and is just coming to a show for the first time—what would you say is the "Whitey Morgan sound"?

It's a classic, 70's era country sound, but with... Imagine if Waylon was born in Texas and then moved to Detroit in his teens, and was into some of that louder, more aggressive music... but also still had the country sound at heart I guess—which is kinda my backstory story. My grandfather came from the south, showed me how to play guitar when I was young, and then when I grew up, in my teen years, I was into... you know, like every kid in his teens, you're pissed off at the world, and your music's a little more aggressive. And then when I finally grew up in my twenties and fell back in love with country music again... that's where that all came from. But as far as the sound, I always tell people it sounds like 70's country with a harder edge and a little bit louder amplifier.

Since I happened to be sitting here in Georgia... You originally called your band, The Waycross Georgia Farm Boys. Where did that spring from?

It's funny I still get this question. I don't know where the hell it says this online! We literally... at our very first, not our very first show, but one of the first shows I played with one of my new guitar players, who's promoting the show... That week we were learning some new songs, and there's a song off of one of Waylon's records [about a] Waycross, Georgia farm boy". So just because we didn't have a name for the band, it was just Whitey Morgan "and"... I always felt we needed a name for the band, like you know, Merle Haggard and The Strangers. We just needed a band name! I showed up to the show and he had put that on the flyer! Whitey Morgan and The Waycross Georgia Farm Boys.

And now it's followed you!

It does have a good ring to it, but it has no connection... I have no connection to Georgia. And what's funny is people still, after... It's been 16 years or something since that was on that one flyer for that one show! Somebody must've put it online somewhere, and next thing you know, I'm still answering questions about it this is many years later!

You've been carrying some of your new songs around for a little while before making this album. Was that kind of in the same philosophy of Mike Ness and Social D—where you play the songs live until you figure out what the fan favorites are and then you go cut 'em?

We used to do that more in the old days. I think we only did a couple of the ones off of this record? We were playing the same material for so long, it was just nice to get some new material in the set. It makes the boys in the band enjoy the stuff more. It's like, you know, actually getting that new energy in there. So we added a couple, I think a little earlier than what we normally would, but that was the main thing... just to get some new stuff in there. We knew we were going to cut those songs already. We were just looking revive that set a little bit with some new stuff—and I can't wait to start adding more of these songs off this record.

Well, that leads me to my next question. You have always been extremely vocal about how you feel about pop country artists, the

songs that they choose to record. You are a songwriter, but you also put a premium on choosing the covers that you sing. For instance, you did one of my favorites, Dale Watson's "Where Do You Want It?". And on this new album, you got "Just Got Paid". How do you decide which of the songs you're going to do? Does it just come down to how you're feeling at the moment? Or what's going to be the most fun for you and the boys?

It's a combination of many things. The things that you said, but also—will it work? Will it draw in fans? Will fans appreciate a different version of something that they have... already are used to. Because you know, that's... It's hard to cut some of those classic tunes that are so embedded "that way"—in the way they were done originally in people's brains over the last however many decades. A song like Just Got Paid, it wasn't like a huge ZZ Top song, but it's definitely one of their more popular deep cuts. Just that guitar riff alone! I just like taking stuff and making it grow—and making it sound a little more like us. And it's challenging too. It's kind of cool when you can take a song like that and think, "Well there's no way we could get away with that!" Well, what if I just changed this a little bit here and this little bit here—and next thing you know, it sounds like a Whitey Morgan song! And I think people are really going to dig that one. I can see all my good ol' boy fans that f------g just got off of a long day at work, and they've been waiting to see us for two months and that song comes on, you know? That's the way I see it! You said something about that before, about what the fans dig and if the boys are going to dig it? That song's got a certain energy about it. It will definitely be fun to play live. I can't wait to play that one live!

What's the best country song that you won't play live?

That's a good question. I've never had this question... People ask me to play this song all the time, and I tell them I don't think anyone should ever play this song—Johnny Paycheck, "Old Violin". I don't want to hear anybody ever sing that song except for him. I don't know... there's just something about it. It really gets under my skin when people things they can sing that song.

I guess it would only make sense to me if... Unless you are at a point in your life where you can call yourself an old violin? When I see a 22-year-old-kid singing that song? That doesn't make any sense to me. That's an "earned" song to sing.

I think that's another thing about country music that gets overlooked, particularly in the mainstream category, where there is not a sense of ownership of what you're saying. It's like once it gets thrown out there, it's out there and then it's gone—and then they move onto something else. Do you feel like you are contributing to a legitimacy, to an inherent "feeling" in country music that does not exist on country music radio?

I hope so. That's kind of a hard question to answer, but all I can really say is that I hope so.

Well let me ask this... You did some collaborating with Travis Meadows on this record. What were your thoughts on that team up?

I thought it was good. I know Travis, he's been through a lot of s--t in his life. And I know that he's got great songs in him—and I know that sometimes he gets tired of writing for some of the continued on page 39 11thHourOnline.com 37

continued from page 37 more pop side of Nashville. When I first sat down with him, we hadn't met each other before, and the first thing he said to me was that he was just looking forward to being able to write unfiltered—you know? Just write some stuff with me that would make sense to me, what I'm all about. And then I said the same thing to him. I said, well, I know with the shit you've been through... I think that's a good combination of writers. He gets it. He wasn't trying to write some catchy, tailgate, f-----g dirt road song for me... or whatever-the-hell any of that s--t is they write... That really pisses me off! There's a lot of stuff that's cool to write about that these dips--ts have ruined, you know? You can't use the words "back road" or "dirt road" or anything anymore in any songs because these motherf----rs have ruined it, you know? (Laughs) Do you prefer writing alone or are you digging the collaborative efforts?

I like it as long as I got the right person there that'll steer me down the right road. I usually come into a session like that, like with Travis or anybody, with at least an idea of an overall theme for a song—like, "Oh, we should write a song that conveys 'this' message", or whatever. And a lot of times I'll have a chorus written or half of a chorus. I usually come up with the hook part of the song first and then we kind of build around that. In my experience, that's the easiest way to do it.

If you try to start writing with a verse then it's like, "Okay, where the hell is the chorus gonna go from here?" (Laughs) I've had a lot of songs that have ended with one person! I've never finished them because... it just doesn't have the direction. Once you write that chorus, man, the rest of it's pretty great.

Do you have a "dream" writing partner that you would like to work with in the future?

I don't know if I've really thought about it. I mean, you know, some of my favorites are... obviously, Kris Kristofferson. I'm really, really into his stuff. Somebody like that would be amazing. It's almost like I would like a time machine, and that's the only way... You know what I mean? That's the only way a lot of it would ever really happen.

With Kristofferson, he's almost kind of like a time machine himself. To be able to sit down and write with him would be like sitting down and writing with almost everybody!

Yeah.

So let me ask you this—who do you consider to be your contemporaries? Or rather, who's out there playing the country music right now that you want to listen to?

You already mentioned him... there's so many guys that I like for different reasons, but Dale Watson always been one of my favorites because he's just stuck to like really straight traditional. He's not veering too far left or right. And you gotta have that one guy going up the middle, so that we can all bounce to the sides—and still have that one guy... kind of sticking to the trail, you know? Cody Jinks is doing great stuff. I'm good friends with Cody. We've become real good friends over the years doing a lot of touring and shows together. We wrote one together for his last record. He's doing really cool stuff. I've been really digging on Brent Cobb's stuff. I'd like to write with him. I feel like me and him could write some cool s--t.

That would be really cool for you and Brent to sit down and put something together.

Yeah. I met him a couple times out at the bars in Nashville and he's just a good dude, you know? That's the kind of guys I like to hang out with, man. I can't deal with the egos and that kind of s--t. I'm like bulls--t repellent! I can tell in five minutes with somebody being in a room what kind of person they are, how much ego they got, how much they got their head up their own ass. There's a lot of guys out there like that—but you know, there's a lot of guys that aren't.

But as far as, like you said, contemporaries, that's the kind

of dudes I'm into right now. Another guy I've really been getting into lately is Jim Lauderdale. Great writer. I'd love to write with him. I actually said something to my manager the other day about... I was just listening to his new record and was like, "Man, I'd love to write with this guy!" He just... he can write! He's such a chameleon. He can write in any style or genre. All his records are a little different than the other ones, but he's so good at every little thing he does. I mean, it's crazy. I met him once backstage, and he was just the most down to earth dude. He said hi to me and my wife, who happened to be at the show, and he just came up and was like, "Oh, so good. So good to be here with ya'll!", and all that, you know? Just like real, good dude, man. I mean that's, that's the kind of people I like to surround myself with. I've been doing it for too long to reintroduce myself to the s--t that I dealt with 15 years ago... I've of secluded myself from those kinds of people, which I guess is why I'm kind of on this—as my manager says—I'm on this island by myself, and I'm slowly letting people come over, you know?

Well, at this point you have been... I would say very successful with your touring, with your writing, recording, and you've been doing all of this your way for the last few years—and you're not alone in an independent pursuit that has been successful. Do you think artists like Whitey Morgan even need mainstream country radio today?

It just depends. I mean, I don't think they "need" it. I think they need a really good team around them that can do most of the things for you that country radio used to do, which was to get you in as many ears as possible. Well now, if you've got a good team and they know how to work the social media and all that stuff, all the streaming—which is the big thing now—and downloads... If you've got a team that understands the internet and all that...I don't know anybody who listens to the radio! Even people that I know that like more modern country music, people that I meet—I meet people from all walks of life—but I know people who do like all that new pop country s--t, and they don't even listen to the radio for that! They stream Spotify, they do everything.

I mean it's sad, but I don't know if modern country radio is really even helping those guys out as much as it used to. I think the streaming and all that stuff really is. So, of course, in my world, it's just as important, and I think that country radio is definitely not as important. It's not important at all, the modern pop side of it anyway, to what I do because I'm just out there touring—and that's the thing I'll tell any young artists. If you really want to do this, you gotta tour! You got to go out there and win these fans over, so that the next time you come back to that town, no matter if you're on the radio or not, they saw you the last time, and you were great! And they told ten of their friends, and now you've got 100 people at the show. And then the next time, in six months, you got 200 at the show. You know? Hard work? There's no way to replace that anymore. And these younger kids, I don't know if they understand that. They're all looking for a break. I don't know what this big break is they think they're going to get, but just save up some damn money and buy a van! Get some like-minded musicians in there with you! Get the hell on the road—and experience life while you're doing it! Don't sit in one town waitin' for it. That's a waste of time.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The new album, Hard Times and White Lines will land on October 26th. Copies will be available in advance when Whitey Morgan and The 78s, along with Alex Williams, perform LIVE at the Hargray Capitol Theatre on Saturday October 20th. Tickets onsale now at hargraycapitoltheatre.com or in person at The Rookery.

HARD WORK? THERE'S NO WAY TO REPLACE THAT ANYMORE. AND THESE YOUNGER KIDS, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY UNDERSTAND THAT. THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FOR A BREAK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS BIG BREAK IS THEY THINK THEY'RE GOING TO GET, BUT JUST SAVE UP SOME DAMN MONEY AND BUY A VAN!” 11thHourOnline.com 39

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

LINDSAY BEAVER

BY AARON IRONS

First impression, “Too Cold To Cry” feels like a fabulous side from 1949 Imperial Records, something featuring Fats Domino smilin' on the ivories—but instead of Earl Palmer on the skins, it's Lindsay Beaver standing behind an austere kit and belting out a rebuke to love gone rabid while the timeless Marcia Ball boils the keys. There's a phrasing, a style that's Big Mama's Texas and Ruth Brown's Big Apple. Beaver snarls like a Georgia Peach on Plum Street spiked with a New York Doll's high heel, howlin' like the biggest, baddest wolf.

I think that my bosses do it on purpose; put these retro peppered rockers into rotation to see if I'm paying attention.

Lindsay Beaver grew up in Nova Scotia surrounded by music, all kinds of music, nothing was off limits. Golden Age boogie woogie, psychedelic rock n' roll, Bowery punk music, West Coast Hip Hop— it all simmered, formed a thick roux. She heard Billie Holiday sing “Don't Explain”, and at 17, Lindsay was lovestruck and set to be a jazz singer. She had a band, they practiced at her house—blues, jazz, and jump—and then her drummer got lazy, said he was tired of luggin' his gear back and forth. Lindsay's pop purchased a drum kit for the cause. Lindsay picked up the sticks one day, sat behind it. It was like breathin'—natural, necessary, and meant to be. She took her cue from the aforementioned Palmer, flourished in the shuffle. Lindsay hit up jam sessions but neglected to mention she could sing. It was all about that big beat.

Music school followed, and so did regular gigs. In Toronto, 40 OCTOBER 12–25, 2018 18

Lindsay put together the 24th Street Wailers. She couldn't find a singer that suited her. She didn't need to. Adopting a rockabilly, stand-up style of drumming and singing, Lindsay and the 24th Street Wailers took to the highways of Canada. Bars, clubs, festivals— that's where she met Jimmie Vaughan. Nova Scotia isn't the furthest eastern point from Texas— maybe it is, geography was never my best subject—but there's something about classic songs and styles that fold space and time. One of the greatest student-turned-masters walkin' around today, Vaughan took one listen to Lindsay Beaver and knew she'd be right at home in the Lone Star State. After a few years of touring, visiting, and recording, Lindsay decided to make Austin her permanent base of operations.

Labeling Lindsay Beaver a “new” artist is a misrepresentation. She's new to me, maybe to you too, but she's already been around the block and seen the world from behind a hi-hat, kick, and snare. Her Alligator Records and solo debut, Tough as Love, is set to land on October 12th.

Alligator claims to put out, “Genuine House Rockin' Music”, and “Too Cold To Cry” has got my drywall reverberatin' for sure. For those of you that claim to not “get” the resurgence of bluesy, early rock n' roll influences on Americana... well, that's a misrepresentation as well.

There's no expiration date on real people playing real instruments, singing real songs. Heartbreak isn't a fad, you're never too old for angst, and there's nothin' in the galaxy a good rock n' roll song or a Texas shuffle can't fix. That's real. That's Lindsay Beaver.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16TH

SAMANTHA FISH

The Hargray Capitol Theatre, 8pm

After launching her recording career in 2009, Samantha Fish quickly established herself as a rising star in the contemporary blues world. Since then, the charismatic young singer-songwriter has earned a reputation as a guitar hero and powerful live performer—all while releasing a series of acclaimed albums that have shown her restless creative spirit.—samanthafish.com FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19TH

THE BIG HOUSE PRESENTS: THE TRONGONE BAND

The Creek Stage @ The Rookery, 11:30pm

The Trongone Band (tron-GO-knee) has grown from a family affair to a full on touring machine. In the words of Live for Live Music, “the quartet has come together to create an old-school and all-in-the-family sound reminiscent of The Allman Brothers while still keeping it fresh with their cutting edge original compositions that also infuse funk and blues into the mix.”—trongoneband.com FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH

LEE BAINS III & THE GLORY FIRES The Creek Stage @ The Rookery, 9:30pm

The South exists in the world and, like the South, the world is increasingly beholden to many of these same tensions and forces. Lee Bains’ songs are meant as small acts of resistance to those systems. Documenting minor moments—the refusal to sit quietly through a display of bigotry, the act of quieting down and listening to somebody’s struggle, sticking up for friends targeted for their difference—that, hopefully, serve as the beginnings of a more profound awakening.—thegloryfires.com 11thHourOnline.com 43
