TURNTABLE TUESDAY/ WEDNESDAY REVIEW - Cheater's Waltz

 Good morning, friends.

I do apologize for moving this review. I spent about three hours in the early morning pulling weeds but still managed to get overheated on Monday. I slept all day trying to recoup. Yesterday (Tuesday) was back out in the garden for more of the same but this time I paid attention to my body and quit before I had a repeat.

There ya go! Now we're back on track and I'm excited to bring you the review of this new album from Michelle and Jason Hannan - CHEATER'S WALTZ


Like Michelle, I've probably heard a concept album ( I even own a copy of Redheaded Stranger) but didn't really know that was a category. When I heard the back-story for Cheater's Waltz I knew, as a writer, this was a unique piece of work. Did I mention the idea for this album came from Jason? The man is amazingly creative. He and Michelle blend their thoughts, songwriting, and over-all music together in a way that makes them stand out among the masses. 

If you're wondering what a concept album is, here's the cliff-note. As opposed to a collection of songs that all have a common theme, the songs flow from one to the other, telling a story. Each song is connected to the one previous and the one that follows, much like links in a chain. Like a good book, you have a beginning, a middle and an end... with all the other happenings in between. As a writer, I can tell you those points are not always easy to hit at the precise moment they need to happen nor is filling in those blanks.  Their bandmate, Howard Parker, (who also contributed a beautiful instrumental on the album) was invaluable in helping to arrange these songs. 

The album tells the story of a woman who’s had bad luck with love. She decides to take one more chance when she meets a stranger in a bar. The album chronicles her new relationship going from good to bad and then to the absolute worst. A nasty break up followed by a murder and its aftermath.


I gave you a taste of the album yesterday with their first track, Nothing Left to Lose, opening up with the protaganist feeling as if she has nothing left to lose so takes one last chance at finding happiness. Michelle's lead vocals were the perfect catalyst for the story. 

As the story continues with Before I Met You, as a listener you're thinking she may have found footing. While that could be true, we get this from a man's perspective. While Jason's rendition of a classic first recorded by Joe 'Cannonball' Lewis (one of the writers) back in 1953 followed by Carl Smith in 1956 and Charley Pride in 1967 is well done, I think the tune may have been better from Michelle as the woman's perspective.

The first of two interludes, Loren's Lament, was written by Howard Parker. He also takes the lead on the resonator guitar, masterfully evoking the soulful undercurrent of the album. 

My earliest memory of a pedal steel guitar, I was six years old and there was a band playing on the back of a flat bed on the main drag of downtown Longmont, CO. I fell instantly in love and very few instruments speak to me more than its cry. As with Loren's Lament, Parker brought the emotion of Here We Are in December to the forefront, making the listener not just feel the story but to become the woman in the song.

Cheater's Waltz, the title track of the album, is the perfect seque from the lamenting of the previous track and flow to the next as well keeping the classic barroom feel. 

Michelle comes back in on If You Won't Say It's Over. The lyrics give us more of an insight to the woman's plight and maybe previous relationships... her evolution to this point.

If you want to talk 'classic' country, listen close to Jason as he channels a bit of George Jones on Livin on Barroom Time. As I listened to this track, I had to back up a couple of times to make sure I wasn't hearing The Corvette Song. 

Everything I've Got's In Tennessee, brings the woman back to where she started, with the plot twist I was not expecting. 

Michelle brings a small church rendition of Leaning On the Everlasting Arms

That petal steel is the perfect opening for Bourbon and a Broken Heart, pulling on the heartstrings as you cry in your beer or cry in bourbon and branch... either way, you're either going to feel better or like hell when all is said and done.

The mandolin is the star of The Sentence, leaving more questions than answers.

The reprise of Cheater's Waltz on this album is reminiscent of a walk to the gallows.

Between the pure classic country of this album and the notes of southern gospel in Feel Like My Time Ain't Long, CHEATER'S WALTZ hits all the notes of both a great story and a stellar compilation of talent. 

CHEATER'S WALTZ releases JUNE 18th!

I'm tipping my hat, with the misstep on track 2.

OUT OF THE CHUTE - Michelle and Jason Hannan

Good morning, country music fans!

Today, we're talking to Michelle and Jason Hannan. They are a husband and wife duo from Frederick Maryland and leading the group - OneBlueNight


Let's open the chute!



Let's open the chute!

Let’s start by learning a bit about each of your backgrounds. Both of you come from deep musical roots. What influenced each of your music careers from those backgrounds?

Michelle: I grew up listening to country music in the 90s, whatever was on the radio. My mom always said that I was singing before I could talk. My grandfather was the only real musician in my family and I would sit and listen to him sing and play his piano or guitar and try to pick up what I could. He’s the one who introduced me to traditional country - artists like Patsy Cline, George Jones, Merle Haggard - the stuff that influenced all of the great songs I heard in the 90s. I sang along with the radio in the car and was always playing something and singing along at home. My mom used to get out her tape recorder and record me singing along to stuff, I wish I still had those tapes! She tried to get me to sing in front of other people; I remember a Thanksgiving where I literally got under the kitchen table to sing because I was so shy! When I was a teen, my older brother had a guitar, and when he left the house I would sneak in and grab it and try to make chords. It took a while, but I finally taught myself how to accompany my singing. I got older and kind of abandoned the idea of making something of myself in music - I was extremely self-conscious. It wasn’t until I met Jason in 2014 that I actually got a chance to sing on stage. He really brought me out of my shell and helped to shape me into the musician I am today. I’m extremely lucky to have met him - both in a musical sense and in a personal sense, as we’ve been happily married for several years now!


Jason: I grew up in Mississippi and just about everybody played music down there. My father, Hal Windham, was a musician of note in the Gulf Coast music scene in the 70’s. He recorded a single with Malaco Records in 1976 that got some airplay regionally (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pyh3n1ohJM). So it was in my blood and I would just try to learn whatever instruments I could growing up. I got involved with bluegrass when I was in the military and played guitar, bass, and mandolin in several bluegrass bands up until I met Michelle and we both decided to return to our country roots. We clicked immediately vocally, more so than anyone else I’ve ever sung with. It was pretty crazy. Oh yeah, we got married too. She needs higher standards!

Concept Album.  As a writer, I love the idea of using an entire album to tell a story while at the same time, each track can stand on its own and strike a chord with any of your listeners.

Will you share with my readers the seed for the storyline came from?

Jason: I wrote a song with my daughter called “Everything I’ve Got’s in Tennessee” back about 9 years ago or so, long before this album was ever a thing. The song ended up coming together as a murder ballad. Not by design, that’s just the way it fell together. When we decided to write a concept album that song seemed like a natural starting point. Michelle rewrote the melody for it and added a verse. We built the album around that song and it ended up being the second single we released from the album. For the rest of the album we knew what plot points we needed to hit and tried to write or find songs that fleshed them out, then we added interludes to transition between the 3 acts. It was an ambitious project and we’re very pleased with how it came together.

Jason, I know you were inspired to do a concept album based on a teenage experience of hearing Willie Nelson’s Red Headed Stranger album. My question is for Michelle. What was your first thought when Jason brought the idea to you?

Michelle: I had never really paid much attention to the idea of a concept album. I can't think of many that I've heard myself, although it's possible that I have listened to one without realizing it was a cohesive work. When Jason brought it to me, it seemed like a really cool idea and it only got cooler once it started to develop. He really drove this project, and I definitely admire his creativity and drive.

Cheater’s Waltz is the story of a woman’s journey. Have you thought about flipping the coin and giving a male’s perspective?

Jason: That’s an interesting idea! There are actually a couple songs on the album that are from the guys’ perspective, both sung by me. One is “Before I Met You” and the other is “Livin’ on Barroom Time”. Taken as a whole, they don’t really present the guy in a very flattering light. He’s certainly not the hero of the story. And one of the most challenging things about writing this album (for me) was trying to write from a female perspective. I certainly wouldn’t rule out writing another concept album from a male’s perspective at some point in the future.

Michelle: An album from the perspective of the cheater would be interesting. I see the opportunity for a ghost story at the end…that could be cool!

You share a big part of the credit on this album to fellow bandmate, Howard Parker. Aside from amazing instrumental talent, what did he bring to the table?

Michelle: Howard was an integral part of the planning and execution of the album. He had some great ideas regarding arrangements, and was always receptive to us bouncing ideas off of him. Of course, he also wrote the beautiful “Loren’s Lament”, the instrumental on the album, which really helped to set the tone for the rest of the album. It’s rare to find someone who lines up so well with your own ideas and taste when you’re dealing with a lot of original music. We’re very blessed to have Howard as a bandmate and friend.

Jason: Oh man, we couldn’t have done any of this without Howard. In addition to what Michelle said, Howard is also an extremely underrated singer! He can harmonize with the best of them. You can really hear him do his thing vocally on the album’s last track, the a cappella quartet. The part he’s singing is not easy and he knocks it right out of the park!

 You had a lot of time to bring this package together. Were there any bumps along the road?

Jason: Speaking for just myself, the hardest part was the production side. This is the first album I’ve ever totally produced and mastered myself and I really had to work hard to make it sound like I wanted. I got what I wanted but I do honestly worry more about what critics will say about the production than anything else. I was very lucky because all the musicians that were involved (Michelle, Howard, Shannon Bielski on fiddle, Jim Robeson on accordion) turned in stellar performances.

I try to really get in touch with the heroines in my books. Michelle, was there anything in this story you felt you identified with?

Michelle: I think I identified most with her seemingly wild nature at the beginning of the story, especially in the first song. I’m starting to settle down though! Of course, we’ve all had heartbreak and challenges in our relationships. I can’t say I’ve ever considered murder though. That’s what I tell Jason, anyway.

When folks listen to this album, what do you hope their experience will be, or that they’ll walk away thinking…..

Jason: I just hope people are immersed in the story, that they are moved by it in some way, that it makes them feel something. If they do, I’ve gotten what I wanted out of it. It’s a rare enough thing these days, what with the direction the country music industry has gone in.


Here's the first track from their new album, Cheater's Waltz.

TURNTABLE TUESDAY - What Keeps the Heart Afloat

 


Good morning, friends!

Today, I have WHAT KEEPS THE HEART AFLOAT on the player and man, what a nice change of pace. 


I love when I can learn something about the contents of the song from the artist. For today's review, I'm going to give you a bit of insight from Garrett about each track then my thoughts over-all at the end. 

Resolutions was written on New Years Eve. Did you know that the 'white stone' refers to a hippie church where the attendees are given a white stone on which to write their hope for the future?  I think that's a new tradition in my world. Thanks for the bit of history.

Inspired by what Garrett termed as the 'screw up' brother of the Beach Boys, Dennis. Dennis died way too young, ironically by drowning. He was extremely talented and loved the water and surfing. I did not know Dennis released a solo album - Pacific Ocean Blue. I'd love to hear that album. I loved the haunting undercurrent in this track.

Make It was inspired loosely by Einstein's theory of relativity and Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle. I live by both of these and this struck a strong chord with me. If you're a regular follower, you know I spend less time working when Bob is home. He is my anchor and I never want to miss time with him doing a 'job' I do not get paid for. As Garrett states in the song, 'some people wish they could turn back time...there is no going back... make it count'. Life is short. You can't turn back time and I never want to have a day come when I wish Bob and I would have spent more time together. 

Playing to a crowd of one has to be a bit disconcerting to an artist but Garrett saw the experience through 'new eyes' and was To Be Grateful for having even one person attend.

The Firewatch was a gift to a friend who was having a rough time. Fire is passion and passion can be either something you love deeply, or hate with all your heart. Find a new place to begin and things will be okay. Be forest and heart, we all need a fresh start and the sun will shine again.

I shared the video for Devotion with you yesterday so here's a bit of background. The Searchers (book & movie) was loosely based on the true story of Britton Johnson, a black soldier, who ventured into Comanche territory after the Civil War to rescue his family. The main searcher in the movie was played by John Wayne

We talked a bit about the Outlaw's Farewell in the Q & A with Garrett yesterday. Inspired by what is to believed to be the final words of Billy the Kid, "Quien es son esos afuera??" Literally, "who are those men outside?" (you'll find the video for this track at the bottom of this post)

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title Prairie Doctor and the Gunman was the Dr. Quinn episode when Mikala had to treat Kid Cole, the gunman played by Johnny Cash. Brings doctor/ patient confidentiality to a whole new level long before we knew such confidence existed. I love the line, 'all your terminal plans lay with you'.

If A Hand In the Dark doesn't make you teary-eyed then I question the depth of your heart. You don't have to be a weeper to feel something - from the beginning simple string intro to the entire first line. Bob and I often joke about how we'll lead the other when the time comes but in all seriousness we know this could one day come to pass. Like the couple in the song, we are blessed to have one another... til death do us part. 

In our interview yesterday, Garrett shared that one of his influences was the great Townes Van Zandt. To Carry Rain was written as a tribute to one of the most talented men to come out of Texas, and leave a lasting legacy in the music communities. While Garrett thought about how much Townes suffered under the weight of his own sadness, he wondered if his music might not have had the depth we associated with Townes' lyrics.

Garrett's putting 2020 on the table with Jesus, What a Mess. Who else wants to agree with me that 2020 definitely stirred the pot of life and left us saying those four words?

Mustard Seed is the perfect way to wrap up this album, especially the past eighteen months. Taken from Matthew 17:20, if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. Regardless of your belief system, if you have enough FAITH you can get through anything... I think we've done well, don't you?


Overall, this album is one of the most enjoyable collections I've heard in a very, very long time. The purity with which Garrett Wieland delivers his lyrics; flowing from his head as he wrote them, through his soul, carrying passion to the fingertips and into the simplicity of the guitar. Garrett has only included what was required to tell his stories. His, lyrics, his heart, and the basics of instrumentation. Who could ask for anything more... or less?

I'm tiping my hat...



Here is....  Outlaw's Farewell

OUT OF THE CHUTE - Garrett Wieland

 

Good morning, country friends!

I have a special treat today. A man who loves the old west history as much as I do. Garrett Wieland has had a passion for the old west since he watched Young Guns as a lad. 

Today, Garrett talks about his sophomore album. WHAT KEEPS THE HEART AFLOAT


Hi, Garrett. Welcome to KellysCountry. Thanks for joining me!

Let's open the chute....

Let’s start by going back in time a bit. During an interview with KZTV last year, you said you’ve been playing music since you were a kid. What are some of the earliest memories you have of playing?

Guitar recital when I was 10 or so! I’d picked up a guitar because my mom had an acoustic around the house when I was young, then started taking lessons. I never really took off until I got an electric guitar for Christmas one year. Not long after that, a buddy of mine in high school was working on some songs that he needed help finishing. I helped him, and it opened up the whole world of songwriting for me.

You are inspired by all things western. What musical artists have inspired you over the years?

Several of my biggest influences were actually Bob Dylan, The Band, Van Morrison, and Townes Van Zandt. I return to them over and over again. And of course, Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, and all things Beatles. And I grew up listening to classic rock and grunge, along with Marshall Tucker Band, a band my dad loved.

Your first single, Outlaw’s Farewell is about Billy the Kid’s last night. A beautiful ballad, by the way. How did you find that information? Were you inspired by the work of James Charles Roy?

Thank you! It actually came from an article in the great Old West magazine “True West” about an interview with a friend (maybe girlfriend?) of the Kid, Paulita Maxwell, sister to Pete Maxwell. I had been working on a ballad partially inspired by Sam Peckinpah’s “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” and grew up loving Young Guns since I was an 80s kid. In the article, it mentions the Kid’s final words, overheard by Paulita, as “Quien es son esos afuera?” which translates to “who are those men outside?” When I read those words, they fit perfectly for the ending of my ballad, and that’s how it came about.

Have you read other books about ‘the Kid’ such as the one by fellow Texan, W. C. Jameson? If so, is there something about Billy that fascinates you, or is it Western history in general?

I have not read Jameson’s book, but have read Robert Utley’s excellent history, “Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life.” And I’ve been fascinated with Billy since I grew up with a dad who loved the Old West, and took me hunting when I was very young. We used to bird hunt in an old caliche pit in South Texas, and it always reminded me of the set from Young Guns.

But Western history in general does fascinate me, especially Native American history. I’m also fascinated with the idea of untangling the legend from the facts of Old West events, and how those myths get started. John Sayles’ great movie “Lonestar” was a big influence on me loving that murky grey area between fact and fiction in our perception of the Old West, and being fascinated by that borderland of the west where so many diverse races and characters intersected. I feel like the US as a country is still dealing with the legacy of the West, so for me it’s always ripe with stories.

The album is entitled, What Keeps the Heart Afloat. Where did the title come from?

It comes from one of my favorite lines on the album, in the song “Dennis,” about Beach Boy drummer Dennis Wilson: “What makes a man go under and what keeps the heart afloat?” The songs on the album are my attempt to answer that question.

The Pandemic put a lot of things on hold, including this album, yet you were working a lot behind the scenes. Was there anything that may have came out differently, because of the extra time you had to finesse?

Well, I got laid off from my job during the pandemic, and then thankfully found a better paying job that allowed me to hire a promoter! So, in that sense, I was able to give it a better shot than I would have pre-pandemic. The album was finished right as the pandemic started, so it did put the album on hiatus until I was able to put money back into completing the promo side of it.

What do you love most about What Keeps the Heart Afloat?

I love that it’s uncluttered. It’s mostly me and my guitar, and so I feel like the songs are expressed more directly. Producer Mason Shirley and I tried to keep it as natural as possible. Our barometer was “would this sound good around a campfire?” So many singer-songwriters release albums that are dense with overdubs and overproduction. I wanted to stay away from that, and I think it comes through in the songs. Plus, these are some of my favorite songs I’ve written.

Do you think this ‘western’ vein is your signature or is there more waiting for a turn?

I think I’ll always return to the West in songs because I find it so fascinating, but there’s also other elements on this album too. So we’ll see, I’ve already got a handful of songs ready for another album, both West-themed and regular old story songs.

I look forward to reviewing the album tomorrow. In the mean time, here's a video of one of the songs from the album:
