Viva Terlingua

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Viva_Terlingua an entity of type: Thing

¡Viva Terlingua! is a progressive country album by Jerry Jeff Walker and The Lost Gonzo Band. It was recorded in August 1973 at the Luckenbach Dancehall in Luckenbach, Texas, and released three months later, in November 1973, on MCA Nashville Records. The album captures Walker's strived-for "gonzo country" sound, a laid-back country base with notes of "outlaw" rock, blues, and traditional Mexican norteño and Tejano styles. The album was mostly recorded live in the dancehall without an audience over several days, but two songs were recorded live with an audience. rdf:langString
¡Viva Terlingua! è il quinto album discografico (e primo Live della sua discografia) di Jerry Jeff Walker, pubblicato dall'etichetta discografica MCA Records nel 1973. Il musicista è da qualche tempo ormai stabilitosi ad Austin nel Texas, dove da poco si è formato un movimento alternativo di country a quello più tradizionale di Nashville, chiamato outlaw country (letteralmente "country fuorilegge") e Jerry Jeff Walker ne subisce l'influenza, riscontrabile già in questo disco dal vivo. rdf:langString

rdf:langString ¡Viva Terlingua! is a progressive country album by Jerry Jeff Walker and The Lost Gonzo Band. It was recorded in August 1973 at the Luckenbach Dancehall in Luckenbach, Texas, and released three months later, in November 1973, on MCA Nashville Records. The album captures Walker's strived-for "gonzo country" sound, a laid-back country base with notes of "outlaw" rock, blues, and traditional Mexican norteño and Tejano styles. The album was mostly recorded live in the dancehall without an audience over several days, but two songs were recorded live with an audience. The Lost Gonzo Band as featured on the album included Gary P. Nunn and Kelly Dunn on keyboards (standard and electric piano and Hammond B-3 organ), Herb Steiner on pedal steel guitar, Craig Hillis on electric and acoustic guitars, Bob Livingston on bass, Michael McGeary on drums, country veteran Mickey Raphael on harmonica, and Mary Egan on fiddle, with Joanne Vent and many others contributing backup vocals. The album captures the band early in their life, and their simultaneously laid-back and tight style contributes heavily to the album's enduring popularity. The Lost Gonzo Band in several forms and with myriad varying members continues as Walker's backing to this day. Notable tracks on the album include a now-famous and rollicking version of Ray Wylie Hubbard's "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother", a version which continues to receive airplay on free-form radio outlets today, both "traditional" and "progressive" stations alike. The song's ribald lyrics, uptempo rock beat and firmly country-rooted instrumentation make it a prime example of the "outlaw" phenomenon. Other covers include a somber cut of Guy Clark's "Desperados Waiting for a Train", the Michael Martin Murphey-penned drunkard's lament "Backslider's Wine", and Gary P. Nunn's own "London Homesick Blues", another "life of a country singer" song which endures on radio, well known for its chorus of "I wanna go home with the armadillo." It was played during the closing credits for the "Austin City Limits" TV show for years. The remaining songs were all Walker originals, and except for "Little Bird," which appeared on Walker's debut album Mr. Bojangles, all make their recorded debut. The opener, "Gettin' By," is a semi-autobiographical reflection on Walker's haphazard recording and writing style as he describes how "I can see (then-MCA Records president) Mike Maitland pacin' the floor," but assures him, "Mike, don't you worry, something's bound to come out." A bit of Texas tradition is captured in "Sangria Wine," a recollection of nights passed in the company of friends, Mexican food, and the titular potent potable. "Get It Out" and "Wheel", which both make their lone showings in Walker's recorded output here, are twin sides of the same coin: the first a declaration of defiant living, the second a meditation on the fragile and transitory nature of life. The album inspired a tribute album of sorts, a nearly track-for-track remake called "Viva Terlingua! Nuevo!", recorded in the same location in January 2006. Many of the original Lost Gonzo Band members from the 1973 session appeared on the album, along with new artists who have become part of the "red dirt" or Texas Country scene like Cory Morrow, Jimmy LaFave, and The Derailers. However, Jerry Jeff Walker took legal issue with the album. After a name change to "Viva Terlingua! Compadres!" the album was released in March 2007.

L'album fu registrato nella dancehall di Luckenbach (Texas) il 18 agosto 1973 e secondo i resoconti e le testimonianze di alcuni componenti della band di Walker (The Lost Gonzo Band), nella sala erano presenti non più di trecento persone che pagarono 1 dollaro a testa per assistere al concerto, Bob Livingston (bassista) asserì in seguito che per riempire ulteriormente la sala furono fatte entrare altre persone all'interno del locale ignare di quello che stavano assistendo.
