Raz a Taz, it ain’t Rock, it ain’t Jazz…
 
It’s country music super star “RAZZY BAILEY” ~ AKA ~
“The Midnight Hauler.”
 
With well over 30 country music Hits under his belt, Razzy is the only man in the world and in all of music history to make a Hit song called –
“Peanut Butter.”
 
In 1966, Bailey took his material to Bill Lowery at Atlantic Records, who arranged for him to record “9,999,999 Tears” backed by a studio band featuring Billy Joe Royal, Joe South, and Freddy Weller. The song failed to hit the charts at that time, but Bailey was encouraged, forming the pop trio Daily Bread which released a pair of albums on small labels. Another group, The Aquarians, followed in 1972; in 1974, Bailey recorded the album I Hate Hate simply as “Razzy.” It sold over half a million copies before being picked up by MGM Records.

In the mid 1970s, Dickey Lee recorded “9,999,999 Tears”, and it became a country and pop hit in 1976, and in 1977, Lee repeated this with another Bailey tune, “Peanut Butter,” which also went into the charts. As his songwriting talents became known, Bailey signed with RCA Records and in 1978 began releasing singles of his own songs. His first hit as a singer-songwriter, “What Time Do You Have To Be Back In Heaven?”, was on the charts for over four months. Bailey charted a total of seven No. 1 singles on Billboard‘s “Country” charts and another eight Top 10 in the late 1970s- early 1980s. His sound combines R&B influences with country; his version of Wilson Pickett’s “In the Midnight Hour” was a country hit. His last country No. 1 hit was with “She Left Love All Over Me” in 1982.

Bailey has had three double sided number 1’s in succession on the Country charts, a feat never accomplished by any other artist.

He also operates Razzy’s Hit House, his recording studio where he is helping other artist with their projects.

Green Day – “Wake Me Up When September Ends

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Listen to Green Day’s song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” here:

 

 

Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years. Cool replaced former drummer John Kiffmeyer in 1990, prior to the recording of the band’s second studio album, Kerplunk (1992).

Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. The band’s early releases were from the independent record label Lookout! Records. In 1994, its major label debut Dookie released through Reprise Records became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S.Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, The Offspring and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States. Green Day’s three follow-up albums, Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, though they were still successful, with Insomniac and Nimrod reaching double platinum and Warning reaching gold status. The band’s rock opera, American Idiot (2004), reignited the band’s popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the United States. The band’s eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released in 2009 which achieved the band’s best chart performance to date. In 2012, 21st Century Breakdown was followed up by a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! released on September, November and December 2012 respectively.

They are one of the world’s best-selling groups of all time, having sold over 75 million albums worldwide. The group has won five Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, Record of the Year for “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, Best Rock Album for the second time for 21st Century Breakdown and Best Musical Show Album for American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. The musical was nominated for several Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Scenic Design.

 

Green Day’s sound is often compared to first wave punk bands such as the Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, and the Buzzcocks.[23] Citing the band’s musical style prevalent on Dookie, Stephen Erlewine of Allmusic described Green Day as “punk revivalists who recharged the energy of speedy, catchy three-chord punk-pop songs.” While Armstrong is the primary songwriter, he looks to the other band members for organizational help. Billie Joe Armstrong has mentioned that some of his biggest influences are seminal alternative rock bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements, and that their influence is particularly noted in the band’s chord changes in songs. Green Day has covered Hüsker Dü’s “Don’t Want to Know If You Are Lonely” as a b-side to the “Warning” single, and the character “Mr. Whirly” in their song “Misery” is a reference to the Replacements song of the same name. Among other influences, Green Day have also cited The Who and power pop pioneers Cheap Trick.

The band has generated controversy over whether the band’s musical style and major-label status constitutes as “true punk”. In reaction to both the style of music and the background of the band, John Lydon, former front man of the 1970s punk band the Sex Pistols commented:

“So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves. They didn’t earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn’t look anything like they do.”

Armstrong himself has discussed the group’s status of being a punk band on a major record label, saying “Sometimes I think we’ve become totally redundant because we’re this big band now, we’ve made a lot of money – we’re not punk rock any more. But then I think about it and just say, ‘You can take us out of a punk rock environment, but you can’t take the punk rock out of us.'”

 

In 1987, friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 years old at the time, formed a band called Sweet Children. Its first live performance took place on October 17, 1987 at Rod’s Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California. In 1988, Armstrong and Dirnt began working with Sean Hughes and the former Isocracy drummer John Kiffmeyer, also known as “Al Sobrante”. As said in the film Punk’s Not Dead, Armstrong cites the band Operation Ivy (which featured Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman of Rancid) as a major influence, and a group that inspired him to form a band.

In 1988, Larry Livermore, owner of Lookout! Records, saw the band play an early show and signed the group to his label. In 1989, the band recorded its debut extended play, 1,000 Hours. Before 1,000 Hours was released, the group dropped the name Sweet Children; according to Livermore, this was done to avoid confusion with another local band Sweet Baby. The band adopted the name Green Day, due to their fondness for marijuana.

Lookout! would release Green Day’s debut studio album, 39/Smooth in early 1990. Green Day would record two extended plays later that year, Slappy and Sweet Children, the latter of which included older songs that the band had recorded for the Minneapolis independent record label Skene! Records. In 1991, Lookout! Records re-released 39/Smooth under the name 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, and added the songs from the band’s first two EPs, Slappy, and 1,000 Hours. In late 1990, shortly after the band’s first nationwide tour, Sobrante left the East Bay area to attend college. The Lookouts drummer Tré Cool began filling in as a temporary replacement and later Cool’s position as Green Day’s drummer became permanent. The band went on tour for most of 1992 and 1993, and played a number of shows overseas in Europe. The band’s second studio album Kerplunk sold 50,000 copies in the U.S.

LeAnn Rimes, who rose to stardom at age 13 when her single “Blue” hit country radio, has recently released her 15th studio album, Spitfire. She was named Academy of Country Music Top New Female Vocalist in 1996, and also won the ACM Single of the Year award for “Blue.” In addition to her ACM awards, LeAnn has eight Grammy Awards. Her last Grammy win was in 2008. She is hoping her latest album, Spitfire, will get her back on the radio, and back on the country music charts. Country music fans know that LeAnn Rimes has had more than a bit of turmoil in her life.  For a time the media didn’t seem to want to leave her alone. Her fans have watched her grow up, marry, divorce, become involved in a scandal and remarry. From the song titles on this CD, it would appear LeAnn has decided to use a little of her troubled past to her advantage. A lot of what she has lived through can be heard in the songs she is now singing. Listed with the writers, here are the songs that you will hear on the new album: “Spitfire”, LeAnn Rimes, Darrell Brown and David Baerwald; “What Have I Done” with Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski, Rimes, Brown, Baerwald; “Gasoline & Matches” with Rob Thomas and Jeff Beck, Buddy Miller, Julie Miller; “Borrowed,” Rimes, Brown, Dan Wilson; “You Ain’t Right,” Liz Rose, Chris Stapleton, Morgane Hayes; “I Do Now,” Rimes, Brown, Wilson; “Where I Stood,” Missy Higgins; “You’ve Ruined Me,” Rimes, Brown, John Shanks; “Bottle,” Gary Burr, Christina Aldendifer; “A Waste Is a Terrible Thing to Mind,” Rimes, Brown, Baerwald; “Just A Girl Like You,” Rimes, Brown, Nathan Chapman; “God Takes Care of Your Kind,” Rimes, Brown, Dean Sheremet, and “Who We Really Are,” Brown, Sarah Buxton. LeAnn has a lot of diversity in her vocals. When going from one song to the next, she has the ability to change from a raspy and rowdy voice to a sweet and melodious tone. Listeners really don’t know what to expect when one song ends and the next begins. Finding a favorite song on this album was a little difficult for me. That was because the lyrics I liked the best were to the song “Bottle.” That song gives us lines like ‘My heart is like a bottle with the world inside, I couldn’t fit more happy in it if I tried’. However, the melody I liked the best belonged to the song “What Have I Done”. It has a slow, quiet, calming melody and is very easy to listen to. The whole album is good, and I’m sure it will be receiving the highest ratings from any of country music’s reviewers. LeAnn still keeps a packed schedule, with concerts throughout the U.S., and shows scheduled for September in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and a show in Taipei City, Taiwan, planned for November. You can keep up with LeAnn’s tour dates, news, and upcoming single releases by visiting her website www.leannrimesworld.com. She has a Twitter account, too, and you can follow her @leannrimes.
