Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority Announces $136 Million Expansion

Our community has again been selected as a great place to do business. At the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority’s Board of Directors meeting, surrounded by Macon-Bibb County’s business leaders and elected officials, deal documents were approved that will cement Graphic Packaging International’s presence in Macon-Bibb County for many years. GPI, after considering other potential locations, has committed to investing $136 million into their Macon mill to upgrade key assets and further modernize

Poplar Light Show Extravaganza

their Macon mill. This project also retains over 460 jobs currently provided by GPI at their Macon mill.

This announcement today rounds out a record breaking year in economic development for Macon-Bibb County. In 2017 the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority worked with both new and existing industries generating over $700 million in new investment, creating over 1,000 new jobs and retaining over 600 existing jobs.

See a light show unlike any other in historic downtown Macon!

The Main Street Christmas Light Show Extravaganza is feast for the eyes and ears. Thousands and thousands of lights adorn the trees, bushes, and features of the Poplar Street median in a rainbow of colors guaranteed to get you in the holiday spirit. The lights move in time to original music composed by your very own Macon Pops featuring local artists. This is one show you won’t want to miss!

The lights come on every night at 6pm and stay on until 11pm.

Shows start on the hour at 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm nightly.

The Main Street Christmas Light Show Extravaganza is made possible by the Downtown Challenge Fund of the Community Foundation of Central Georgia. A tremendous thanks to Bryan Nichols for his grand vision and tireless effort to make this light show a reality.

Contributors Marla Horton has lived in Macon, Georgia her entire life, first by birth, but now by choice.

She graduated from Middle Georgia State University with a BA in English and now spends her free time exploring her favorite city. In addition to words, she also consumes generous amounts of both red wine and red meat. If she is not reading/writing, drinking Cabernet Sauvignon, or eating burgers with bleu cheese, she is probably asleep.

Renee Corwine spent 13 years as a newspaper editor before switching this summer to a full time career in freelance writing and editing. She and her husband, Jake, live in Macon with three fur babies: Abbey, Ella and Whiskers. In addition to writing, Renee is a personal trainer and teaches classes at Pure Barre Macon (that’s exercise, not booze). A full Ironman finisher, she still dabbles in triathlon, but would rather spend her time taking selfies in foreign countries, drinking whiskey and torturing others through exercise. Find her on Inta @ reneecorwine.

With more than 20 years of journalism and publishing experience, Stacey Norwood earned her chops as an investigative reporter and features writer for daily and weekly community newspapers in Tuscaloosa, Bibb County (AL), and Clanton, AL before moving to a longish stint in TV news as a crime and courts reporter in Birmingham. Passionate about twangy prose and a devotee of Southern culture, Stacey deepened her wordsmithing skills serving as an editor and contributing writer for such magazines as Victoria, Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade, Taste of the South and Relish. Her hobbies include writing a Macon-centric blog, trolling the Internet for truly revolting vintage recipes, collecting real (not department store) art, and cooking. In her spare time, Stacey is the proud Mother of Doggos (it is known).

Much to her disappointment, however, her mutts, Miss Oda Mae Brown and Margaret Thatcher, have yet to breathe actual fire no matter how many times she yells “dracarys” at them.

Traci Burns was born and raised in Macon (Bloomfield represent!); she currently lives in Warner Robins with her husband and two kids. She has an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Georgia College, where she also taught English and creative writing for some years before settling down to be a full time neurotic insomniac freelancer/stay at home parent. She’s into rap, disability rights advocacy, comics, and cuddling.

Mercer has given me a sure foundation and I feel so secure there.

I Am A Mercerian.

Sarena Watkins Fuller, Adult Undergraduate Student If anyone knows a thing or two about the power of second chances, it’s Sarena Watkins Fuller. Embarking on her sophomore year at Mercer University through its undergraduate degree program for adult learners, the Communication major says she is finally getting the opportunity to pursue what had, at one point, seemed like long-lost educational goals.

But then again, life experience has already taught Sarena that nothing is impossible, and when it comes to chasing your dreams, there’s no time like the present. As a two-year survivor of stage III breast cancer, every day is precious.

“I got my diagnosis on May 19, 2014,” Sarena says, adding that when she was rushed into treatment, she was determined to come out the other side. And she did. “I licked it in 10 months.”

With “everything to live for,” and willing to embrace “whatever the universe has assigned me to do,” Sarena, a licensed minister for more than 20 years, wasn’t necessarily thinking of obtaining a college degree.

But love and basketball had other ideas for her.

“My husband and I were looking for something to do for free and he happened to come across free Mercer basketball tickets on Facebook.

He asked if I would be interested in going,” she recalls. “I was, like, ‘yeah! – I just survived breast cancer and I'm living life again.’ I'd never been to a collegiate basketball game in my life. We went for a date night, and when I walked into the gymnasium, into that basketball arena, I literally felt like a fish in water. I was getting a new source of oxygen and I didn't know why or where it was coming from, but that place hyped

my soul up – my spirit just came alive.”

Then serendipity stepped in.

“At two o'clock that morning, we were still awake talking about different things and one word led to another, one conversation led to another, and I said you know what? I got it. I think I know what it is.

I'm going to enroll at Mercer University.”

Much to her surprise, she says, Sarena received an immediate response from the Mercer Admissions Office to help her navigate the application process.

“I was shocked. I wasn't sure if I was actually on the right path. I was what I called ‘turning doorknobs’ to see why this was touching my soul like it was.” When that door opened, she walked through it without a backward glance.

“They walked me through the process,” she says – from entrance exams to opening new pathways to pursuing a Communication degree.

“I didn't realize Mercer even had a working adult program. I was excited to learn about that. It works with your schedule. It's so versatile.”

Today, with the help and guidance of Mercer advisors and faculty members, Sarena is immersed in the college experience and proud to call herself a Mercer Bear.

“I’m tearful-eye proud. Mercer is prestigious – Mercer is a pulse in this city.” she says. “It's been life-changing, life-coaching, life-enhancing.

I found my group, I found my place … Mercer is going to be a vehicle for where I want to go.”

The Starving Artists

Gift Guide

Attention Christmas Shoppers: “Buy Local” is as much a mantra for art as it is for fresh produce – it’s an investment that pays off for everyone.

Here are a handful of Macon artists and outlets you can feel good about supporting this season, with a little something for everyone.

- By Stacey Norwood -

Say what you want about Charles Bukowski, but the man got to the point. “Find what you love,” he famously urged, “and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all.”

He very nearly did too. Though not above drinking away the rent money or espousing Nazi rhetoric for the perceived shock value – at least until the “fun just went out of it” after Pearl Harbor - no one could call the German-born, American-made artist a hypocrite. Bukowski crawled right into the belly of whatever beast he happened to be swinging his sword at, and his blade was (almost) always his pen. Depravity, blight, sex, and the filth of humanity were not only themes that peppered his prose, but also his life. Which, by all appearances, seems to have lacked no shortage of lunatic lovers and barroom brawls – all played out in the skiddest of rows that ran the rails from Los Angeles clean to the Florida coast.

Even so, it would be untrue to say the poet laureate of scabby hearts and delirium tremens and lonely deaths on cold park benches craved the poverty and despair that so frequently fueled his work. He just never stopped creating long enough to do much else.

14 DECEMBER 8-22, 2017

“I remembered my New Orleans days, living on two five-cent candy bars a day for weeks at a time in order to have leisure to write. But starvation, unfortunately, didn’t improve art. It only hindered it. A man’s soul was rooted in his stomach,” he wrote in Factotum. “A man could write much better after eating a porterhouse steak and drinking a pint of whiskey than he could ever write after eating a nickel candy bar.”

It’s a hamster on a wheel-like gauntlet working artists understand all too well. Struggling to make the rent while trying to produce the work may make for a fabulous opera, but too much bohème can make la vie a drag. And what’s more, everybody loses, not just the artists.

Imagine, for moment, how empty the Museum of Arts & Sciences on Forsyth would seem without a single painting in it, or how barren the shelves at Washington Memorial Library would appear stripped of books. Think about the statues and murals and park sculptures you likely drive or walk past every day in this city and picture those landscapes free of the landmarks that make Macon more … Macony.

Suddenly you’re seeing Anytown USA and Nowhere Special Street, am I right?

But Love, Actually (Yes! I’m going there! So just sit there and watch the rest of this sentence coming at you like a freight train.) is all around us, Macon, Georgia.

Or at least the art is … and here’s where you can find it.

1. Heidi Clinite Art Macon native Heidi Clinite describes herself as a working artist who “paints the world around her, literally.” Having studied at Mercer University and The Art Students League of New York, Heidi’s canvas includes everything from public sidewalks and buildings to private residential and commercial installations. She is currently accepting private commissions for the Holiday Season through December 15, and you can also find Heidi’s paintings for sale at Travis Jean on Cherry Street as well her handmade dream catchers and urban totes at Sparks Yoga studio.

Maker Of: Original surreal-style paintings, mixed media pieces, found-art jewelry, wood-burned pieces, chalk installations, murals, and personal portraits.

Storytellers Originally started through a Community Foundation Grant, spoken-word artists (professional and otherwise) get together once a month in a local venue in downtown Macon to share stories that are themed around broad but descriptive topics. Though this is a free event and open to the public, if you want to help storytelling artists and writers, this event would be like shooting fish in a barrel to scout for talent in those two disciplines.

Maker Of: Original spoken and (depending on the artist) written stories.

Perfect For: Anyone interested in introducing age and subject-appropriate performance elements at private parties and other social functions.

Blazing Paddles Glass Studio A duel venture by glassblowing artists Bryan Beck and Jamie Adams, Blazing Paddles is a relative newcomer to the arts scene in Macon. Along with selling their handblown creations at special sales and art events in area, the artists offer both private and public classes.

Loganic Arts A Mercer graduate who has exhibited his paintings and drawings at shows in New York, Berlin, Poland, and most recently, Macon, Christopher C. Logan, better known as “Loganic,” describes his work as visual language that “fluctuates between spiritual incarnation and artist-controlled decision-making.” His task, he says, is to pull his “characters into existence by defining them with lines and color.” And what unique, all-but-extraterrestrial characters they are too. Also a DJ and self-described “inspirator,” Loganic’s visual art is ethereal, free-flowing and difficult to pin to a genre. By his own definition, themes in his paintings include “eccentricity & peculiarity, overcoming struggle, spiritual growth and sensuality.” More recently, the artist completed a series of sketches on craft paper depicting homes across Mill Hill and East Macon as well as a mural at Macon Transit Authority.

ects and large-scale sculptural installations all over the world with her husband Tanner Coleman through their business AnT Sculpture. Projects she and Tanner have worked on together include pieces in Thailand, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, California, Mississippi, Idaho, Montana, and most recently Macon. Alexis says as an artist, she is “interested in the clichés of culture and how once meaningful and often sacred imagery becomes mass-produced or,in essence, lost in its overuse.”

Maker Of: Brickwork pieces and sculpture Perfect For: Any art or pottery collector, or new homeowners looking to add high-end sculpture Upcoming Events: An interactive installation at Bernd Park near downtown Macon.

Three local organizations made this Christmas wishlist because they serve as dedicated advocates for local artists, offer a variety of original artworks across a wide range of price points, and serve the community through regular exhibits and receptions, arts classes, and enrichment programs designed to support artists and elevate the quality of life here.

Throughout December, the 567 Center for Renewal will host “Favorite Things,” a collection of ceramics, stained glass, printmaking work, mixed media, jewelry and paintings from local artists. Each piece included in the exhibit is priced at $100 and under. The nonprofit gallery also regularly offers Sip and Paint, photography, jewelry-making, and other types of classes, and sells gift cards for these as well.

The gallery is located on First Street; you can also register for classes or arrange private parties by calling 478-238-6051, or by e-mailing melissa@the567.org Next on the list is the Goodwill retail store located at Wesleyan Station on Forsyth Road. The store has partnered with Wesleyan College to regularly display and sell work by local and student artists, and also hosts free, after-hours receptions for the artists in conjunction with each new exhibit.

Last but not least, the Macon Arts Alliance, located just a few doors down from the 567 on First, exhibits and sells works by more than 200 area artists. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday, and they will even be open 9 a.m. to noon on Christmas Eve! This month’s exhibit is titled “Hand Crafted Holiday”. A curated collection of paintings, sculpture, pottery, glass, jewelry, wood and more. This exhibit has been thoughtfully designed to offer original works that make keepsake holiday gifts.

The Adrenal Gland

I believe that natural foods have the power to change lives!!!

It is important to feed the adrenal gland. It produces hormones which are vital to life, regulates the metabolism, and helps the body respond to stress, this controls blood pressure, which effects the immune system.

Black Currant dissolves mucus, calms the mind and helps your nervous system from being overwhelmed. It also stimulates the adrenal gland. If the adrenal gland is cleansed all the parts of the body come into alignment.

JAKE’S TAKE C U LT U R E C L U B | B Y J A K E F I N C H E R

Dad Would Love This Team As the final seconds ticked away during SEC Championship and Georgia fans from all over were celebrating the First SEC Championship since 2005 I became unexpectedly emotional. Tears began to stream down my face. I tried to hide it from Kristi but when I tried to talk to her it only got worse. I’m sure a small part of it was the sheer excitement of UGA finally winning the SEC and getting in the playoff for the first time. After all the years of heartbreak and close calls we finally did it. But that wasn’t what brought me to tears. As the game ended I immediately thought how much my dad would have enjoyed this game and this season. I looked down at my phone as to call him and celebrate as we always did whenever Georgia won and that’s when it happened.

Growing up in my family there were two things above anything else. BBQ and UGA football. Every fall Saturday our family would head to Athens. We would leave no later than 7AM to get there and tailgate with all our “Dawg” friends. Dad would tell my brother and I what players to watch and how we should beat whoever it was we were playing. The four of us would sit in the same four seats my brother and I still have. Anytime UGA would score Doug and I would high five and mom and dad would give each

other a kiss. After the game we would load back up and head home to Macon. Most of the time during these years Georgia won.

We would all talk about our favorite players, things that the team could do better. My dad, brother and I would teach mom about certain plays and why things happened. For a young boy like I was it was perfect. There was nothing I would rather be doing than this. UGA football was part of the glue that held my family together.

As the older my dad got the less he was able to go up to games. My brother and I started going up ourselves. Dad would say he would rather watch it on TV and not have to deal with the crowds and traffic.

“I want you to LOVE Macon!

I want you to LIVE in Macon!”

NEW LISTING IN TRENDY MIDTOWN: 236 Belvedere Dr, Macon $159,900

I would get home after the game and first thing I’d do would be to call dad up and talk about the game. I’d say that we talked to each after every UGA game from 1980 till the year he died. We’d try to figure out what went wrong if we lost and who played great if we won. Even if we were mad at each other we’d still talk about UGA football. It’s just what we did.

The last UGA Game dad watched was the heartbreaking loss to Alabama in the 2012 SEC Championship. This was a game that was as exciting as any game we ever saw.

After Aaron Murray’s pass fell short and we lost I called dad to talk about it. We both had different opinions of what should have

happened. We talked about how next year would be different. Little did I know this would be the last time I’d talk to him after a game. Dad passed away in May of 2013.

So as the game Saturday night was coming to a close and UGA had won its first SEC Championship since 2005 I looked down to call my dad and celebrate with him. I thought about how much he would have loved this team. How he would have told me “I told you defense wins championships “. He would have loved the way Jake Fromm plays Quarterback. We would argue if Roquan Smith is the best defensive player to ever play at Georgia. He’d love the way Coach Kirby Smart teaches and coaches these players. He’d love the way Nick Chubb and Sony Micheal came back for their senior year and the way they run the football. He really would have loved this season. I know I did. After the game was over I was finally able to get a few words out to Kristi. She asked me “are you ok?” I gathered myself and said “yeah , I’m just thinking about my dad, and I’m sure he is smiling down on us and yelling Go Dawgs!” Then we both had tears running down our face. Then I called my brother and texted my mom. UGA football is still part of the glue that keeps this family together.

BRENT COBB

Ok, full disclosure. The first time I met Brent Cobb was when he was in Macon performing at Mount De Sales and promoting his upcoming album last year. As he was walking down Cherry Street after performing live on the air, I turned to Anthony Ennis and said the following words: This is the last time you will ever see that man walking down the street carrying his own guitar. Over a year later, that prediction has come true. He is now one of the most sought after songwriters in the music industry and now a Grammy nominated recording artist in his own right. Brent took some time with us to talk about the ridiculous year he has had and about his upcoming show at the Cox Capitol Theatre on New Year’s Eve. Thank you so much for taking some time to talk to us and indeed congratulations are in order for your 2017 Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album with Shine On Rainy Day. How did you find out about the nomination?

My manager called me super early in the morning. He was in Nashville and I was in Georgia. It had to be around 6 in the morning in Nashville. So I looked down at the phone wondering what he was doing up that early. And then he said to me “I just wanted to call Grammy nominated artist Brent Cobb” and I was like what? My phone blew up all day. Just crazy stuff.

You are on the road headed towards Nashville now?

Yea. My label Low Country Sound just signed Brandi Carlile. So we are going to get together tonight at the Basement East. Me, Brandi and Anderson East.

That’s awesome. One of the last times you were in Macon you and Anderson performed together at the Cox Capitol 24 DECEMBER 8-22, 2017

Theatre. Have you and Anderson been writing together recently?

We have written together but not recently. We are constantly collaborating and trying to inspire one another. It’s like when you go to your grandma’s house and you have that older cousin that says you aren’t cool if you haven’t heard this record so we are constantly trying to one up each other with that kind of stuff.

You are going back on the road in early 2018 with the Ain’t A Road Too Long Tour. With having the family back home, how do you balance being Artist Brent Cobb versus Husband/Father Brent Cobb?

Well, lucky for me they are sort of one in the same. It’s taken 12 years to get to the bottom and so I’m pretty humble and try to remain the same. As far as time goes, I was a pretty neat year last year. I was able to do a 3 days on/4 days off type thing. So I’d be home taking baby girl to school three mornings in a row and then hit the road and go to Canada. Then be gone, come back and do it all over again. But luckily my family is really supportive and we get a lot of help which is why we made the move back to Georgia so it has not been too bad so far.

Your cousin producer Dave Cobb, who produced for Anderson East’s upcoming album, Chris Stapleton and many more, was quoted in a Rolling Stone article calling you the Redneck Paul Simon due to your command of the lyrical imagery. Where do you think that mode of writing comes from? I don’t know. Where we are from, and it’s the same way in Macon, people just have a way of talking. It’s a bit of a story being told. There is a rhythm to it. I think that’s part of it. Another part of it is my dad is a writer. My uncles are all writers and I grew

up listening to writers that they were into like Neil Young and Tom T. Hall and stuff like that so I think maybe it got all mixed up together and I became the Redneck Paul Simon.

You have written for tons of artist like Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert. I also read that Shooter Jennings was one of the people that got you into the “songwriting for other people” mode. Do you find yourself writing differently when you are composing for other artists versus writing for yourself?

I’ll put it this way. Any cut that I have ever had has been a song that I wasn’t thinking of another artist. It’s always been songs that came naturally and lended themselves to me as a performer. There was a moment in time when I left the road for a while when my daughter was first born in 2014 and I focused solely on songwriting. I actually tried to write for other people during that time, and I will be completely honest, it is probably the worst batch of songs in my catalog.

And finally, you will be back in town with The Steel Woods at The Cox Capitol Theatre on New Year’s Eve to close out the year. I know you have been writing, performing on the road and giving the fans everything they want. What should the fans expect to see if it’s their first time seeing you?

It’s funny. I guess the first thing would be that if you listened to Shine On Rainy Day, you probably wouldn’t expect a rock show but somehow those songs have transformed and they kind of rock live. So you 4 might would expect a storyteller, singer/songwriter round type of thing. And if you haven’t heard The Steel Woods, they are a rock and roll band from the South. So it’s a full energy show. It’s gonna feel like Classic Macon. The kind of show that Macon may not have had in the last decade or so.

MAGNOLIA MOON

Catch Magnolia Moon December 16 @ 9pm @ The Hummingbird Stage & Taproom With roots from Mississippi and Georgia, Magnolia Moon is showing Middle Georgia their take on rock and soul. Their songs express an updated spin on the rock n roll of the 60s and 70s. Siblings Zack Horton (vocals/guitar) and Jesse Horton (drums), along with Dwayne Boswell (keys), and brothers John Crowell (bass) and Chris Crowell (guitar) make up Magnolia Moon. I spoke with Zack about Mississippi, how he began playing guitar, and the magic of songwriting.

How did the band start?

We got together playing music for a church band. My brother Jesse Horton had been working at the church for a while, along with Dwayne. Eventually Dwayne recruited John, Chris, and myself. We started hanging out and playing music at each others houses. It was a good fit musically and we had fun so we figured we might as well write some music of our own.

In your bio you talk about a couple of band members having roots in Mississippi. How does it translate to your music?

My brother and I grew up in Mississippi and lived there until about 10 years ago. That definitely plays a large part when it comes to the more Southern and soulful parts of our music.

It’s just in our blood.

The band has a strong influence from 60s/70s rock. Who are your biggest influences?

I’m a big fan of bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Allman Brothers, etc. The 60s/70s seemed to be a golden era for creativity in rock n roll. There was a lot of good music that came out of those decades.

Do you take inspiration from any other genres of music?

I try to find inspiration in all types of music.

From James Brown to Johnny Cash, I love it all and it’s all inspiring in one way or another.

Music with soul, no matter the genre, is what I love and find inspiration in.

Does your band name have any specific significance?

It’s kind of a nod to where my brother and I grew up. The magnolia being the state flower of Mississippi.

Why do you think you guys work so well together?

We all love each other like family and enjoy one another’s company. That can sometimes make or break a band. I guess we just lucked out.

Tell me about your background in music.

I grew up around music in a large extended family full of musicians. My cousin gave me a guitar when I was about nine years old and it sat in my closet collecting dust until I was 12. That’s when I started trying to learn how to play. I would pop in a CD or turn on the radio and try to play what I heard. I’ve played just about every day since then.

Tell me about writing one of your songs.

Writing a song, in my experience, never happens the same way twice. Sometimes it takes bits and pieces of lyrics and riffs that have accumulated over the course of months, even years. Other times we will all get together for practice and write a song in an evening. That’s the beauty of it though. It’s like magic. I can’t figure it out completely, but I don’t think I’m supposed to.

What do you think is the most rad part about your live performance?

The spontaneous moments in our set. The things that were not rehearsed that happen in a moment because the atmosphere made it happen. We try to leave space in our music for things like that. It keeps things fun and new for us and I think it’s great for the people listening.

You’ll never get the same set twice.

The Music Lover’s Gift Guide to the Galaxy. Here’s 11 stellar picks from the experts at Falling Star Records.

TONY’S TOP 5 1. Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers A lot of people will default to Exile On Main Street as the quintessential 70's era Stones album. For my money, the Sticky Fingers album is their best, and no record collection is complete without a copy.

Even when you don't count the hits such as “Brown Sugar” and “Bitch”, you're still left with some of the Stone's finest work. Songs like “Can't You Hear Me Knocking”, “Sway” and the severely underrated “Moonlight Mile” make the Sticky Fingers album the pinnacle for me.

2. Etta James - Tell Mama Even if you don't get this particular album, you need some Etta James in your vinyl collection. You can't go wrong with this album and the mono re-issue sounds amazing on a turntable. No one does it better than Etta and she never did it better than she did on this album.

3. Jason Isbell - Southeastern Even though Isbell had a full catalog when Southeastern was released, this collection of songs was his breakthrough release.

From “Cover Me Up”, a love song to wife Amanda Shires, to “Elephant”, the heartbreaking song about dealing with a friend's cancer battle, Isbell's songwriting reaches a new level on this album.

4. Otis Redding - Live at the Whiskey A Go Go Whether it's a vintage used copy or a new reissue, the Live at the Whiskey A Go Go album catches Big O at the peak of his career. The live performances are impeccable, and this piece of vinyl is the perfect soundtrack, from cleaning house to hosting a dinner party.

5. Gram Parsons - GP The 1973 debut album from the godfather of Americana music has a place in any vinyl collection. Not only does this studio album contain guitar licks from the legendary James Burton and pedal steel from the late great Buddy Emmons, it marks the debut of Parsons protege' Emmylou Harris. This collection of songs set the standard for the modern Americana format or, as Gram called it, Cosmic American Music.

THE VINYL GUIDE The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky.

And as I’m wondering where you are I’m so lonesome I could cry.

- Hank Williams

BY STACY NORWOOD Take it from me: You’ll be hard-pressed to find the phrase “falling star” included in the lyrics of any song that ain’t a sad song.

I say “take it from me” because for one thing, I’ve got the Google search results to prove it. And for another, because my own sweet daddy never met a heartbreak tune he didn’t like or long to sing. So the bedtime lullabies of my peculiar but telling childhood included Tom Dooley, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Walkin’ the Floor Over You, and – of course – I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry. When I hear the phrase “falling star,” I have visions of old Hank pining for his lady-love and droopy-headed little whippoorwills so lonesome and blue they can’t even lift a wing to fly.

On the other hand, if you know anything about falling stars (in reality), you’re likely aware they’re not stars at all. They’re meteors - or more accurately, the detritus thereof. When you spot a shooting star streaking across the night sky, what you’re actually looking at is bits and particles of spacedust twinkling and trailing behind a meteor as it performs its atmospherical swan song for all to see.

Easy to understand then, where the melancholy inspiration comes from for songwriters and poets and such – but a person has to stop and remember too that nature really does abhor a vacuum. Which is to say, few falling stars ever truly fade away – an Aristotle-ism that makes the story behind the name of Macon’s “newest” record store all the more charming and apropos.

Though the ribbon-cutting for Falling Star Records was less than a month ago, the vintage vinyl emporium is the second store by that name to open its doors in Macon.

The first iteration, located on Vineville Avenue close to what’s now Jim Shaw’s Seafood Grill, set up shop in the early 70s. The brainchild (or is it starchild?) of two married Mercer students entrenched in the emerging music scene in Macon – not to mention the rest of the country - Falling Star followed the trajectory of, well, a shooting star. The store burned brightly for a time – at one point selling Allman Brothers Band records so fast the owners couldn’t even stock the shelves fast enough – fans snatched the newly pressed albums right out of the shipping boxes. But life circumstances and changing tastes and new trends in music came along … and well, you know the rest.

Fast forward 40 years, and the son of that young couple – Wes Griffith – has teamed up with the rest of Creek Media crew to open the next-generation of Falling Star Records. “Every good town needs a good record store,” he says.

The store, located on Second Street a door or so down from Cox Capitol Theatre, aims to bring back the “tangible experience” of real music on real vinyl played on real record players (which the shop also carries), as well as contribute to the emerging cultural renaissance of both the city and its downtown center.

Tony Doolin, general manager of Creek Media and, according to Wes, the “driving force” behind Falling Star Records part deux, has chimed in here for 11th Hour readers with his picks for the definitive albums he says every true-blue collector has to get their music-loving mitts on. Wes has thrown in his 2 (or technically 6) cents too.

If you’ve got a music-lover to shop for this season – or you’re just looking for yourself – here’s the wishlist you need to get started with:

WES’S TOP 5 6. Howlin’ Wolf – London Sessions This is a must-have for any blues fan. The album features Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and Rolling Stones members Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman. It showcases the Wolf in a way no other album does … great instrumentation and high-end production. It’s funky, bluesy and rockin’.

7. Mavis Staples – Anything Mavis is experiencing a career renaissance the last several years … partnering up with numerous younger musicians on various projects. She is a true American heroine that has seen it all. Having played an integral role in the soundtrack of the Civil Rights movement (Staples Singers), her unmistakable deep voice is drenched with credibility as she churns out politically and socially charged song after song. Livin’ on the High Note and her collaborations with Jeff Tweedy are standouts.

8. Allman Brothers Band – Live at Fillmore East EVERYONE must have this … especially if you are from Macon. Google the footage from this show and tell me they did not look like golden gods. This album is live magic, and captures the Allmans at the height of their powers.

9. Bob Dylan – Blood on the Tracks The guy just won the Pulitzer Prize …what more do you want me to say. But seriously … if you’ve never gotten into Dylan for some reason, this is a good album to start with. It still sounds fresh in today’s Americana landscape.

10. The Band – The Band

Levon and the Boys never sounded better than their second self-titled release.

This album pretty much captures the full kaleidoscope of American roots music. It’s only got two of their big hits on it, but everything is good on this cohesive masterpiece. Best experienced in early winter by a fire.

11. Al Green – Let’s Stay Together To all young men in the world: get a turntable, buy this album, invite a girl over, drop the needle, thank me later. Al Green melts away your troubles and sends chills down your spine. This classic will always be in stock at Falling Star Records. If not, we will order you a copy.

to Country radio. An accompanying music video – his first – hit airwaves in early November. “Undeniable is the most ‘me’ thing I’ve ever done,” said Anthony. “Five years ago I started calling my brand of country ‘Motown Country.’ With a trio of Detroit boys behind me we finally brought that blend of Country, Motown and Philly soul from the stage to the studio on this EP.” Undeniable also debuted in the top 100 on the iTunes All Genres Chart.

JD MCPHERSON W/CHARLEY CROCKETT

You could mistake JD McPherson for a revivalist, given how few other contemporary artists are likely to assert, as he boldly does, that “’Keep a Knockin’

by Little Richard is the best record ever made. But in a very real sense, McPherson is much more a pioneer than roots resuscitator. He’s knocking at the door of something that arguably hasn’t yet been accomplished—a spirited, almost spiritual hybrid that brings the forgotten lessons from the earliest days of rock & roll into a future that has room for the modernities of studio technique and 21st century singer/songwriter idiosyncrasies that Richard Penniman would not recognize.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

JD McPHERSON

}

}

JD McPherson will be performing with Charley Crockett at the Capitol Theatre December 12th

JD McPherson grew up on a farm in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

He started playing in bands when he was 16-- punk music in the Lollapalooza age of rap coexisting in jagged harmony with grunge and industrial. JD's tastes began to flow backwards with his rediscovery of Buddy Holly. JD immersed himself in the music of the original rebellion-- Fats Domino, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley... After graduating from the University of Tulsa, JD taught middle school art. He took his duties seriously and attempted to broaden his students palate with performance and musical art as well as physical. He formed a mix-tape club to promote different bands and styles. JD McPherson thought in terms of the future being built on the beautiful foundation of rock n' roll. His contract was not renewed.

JD spent time in the Starkweather Boys, a rockabilly band with an Imperial/Sun style, and released his first solo effort, Signs and Signifiers, in 2010. He'd fallen deep into the retro fittings of early rock n' roll, worked steady. JD found his notions challenged after working with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys-- an artist capable of and nearly dedicated to shifting styles. Between the transition from educator to full time musician and balancing a family with touring responsibilities, JD had found his groove. Auerbach encouraged him to jump that groove inspite of its comfort, and in 2015 JD released Let The Good Times Roll-- a rebel rousin' conglomeration of rock n' roll aspects that appealed to enthusiasts of all genres.

JD released Undivided Heart & Soul in October of 2017. It

was recorded in Nashville at RCA Studio B-- a room that's felt Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and The Everly Brothers. To say those echoes linger is certainly a hope and probably a truth.

The album is everything and nothing you'd expect. Yes, it's thick with flang and reverb evocative of Link Wray, but it's utterly contemporary. If you've kept up the slightest with the happenings in Americana music then nothing about Undivided Heart & Soul should surprise you and everything should excite you. Collaborations with pop-topper Butch Walker and Parker Millsap keep the album accessible. There's a pleasant indie vibe from Holly Laessig and Jesse Wolf from Lucius as well as Jack Lawrence from the Raconteurs that provides a feint but hip bubblegummy-ness that's just catchy enough. Add to that the absolute attitude of Aaron Lee Tasjan, and the hits just keep on a' keepin' on. Other guest appearances include Neptune (New Jersey, that is) native Nicole Atkins and JD's wife Mandy.

Prior to recording Undivided Heart & Soul, JD spent time jamming and rehearsing with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. If Auerbach had nudged McPherson out of a comfort zone, then it was Homme who challenged him to embrace his personal experiences as a songwriter. JD McPherson, like rock n' roll is evolving. Rather than simply rehashing traits and tropes of decades past, he's completing his original lesson plan from his teaching days. JD McPherson's got the history of rock n' roll down to science, and he's crafting it's future.
