The Hotdisc chart is compiled from DJs and industry professionals’ ratings of songs currently being promoted on the Rush Released CD. They are not airplay charts, as airplay charts cannot work in Europe because there are no terrestrial country stations. The hundreds of country programmes on air which we service are likely to play a particular song only twice at most in a three month period, therefore rendering airplay charts insignificant in Europe. It works well in America where there are plenty of non-stop country stations but it does not work here. Any Airplay Chart you may see claiming to provide this service is bogus and Hotdisc does not condone these charts at all. They are misleading at best for the reasons stated.

The Hotdisc charts are put together weekly using ratings supplied by DJs who give scores to every song on the last three months’ editions of Rush Released. The scores are averaged out per week to give an accurate guide to the songs which are being championed by the industry. The aim is to showcase the songs which the industry professionals are flagging up as quality songs. This is a very useful exercise as it is free of politics, hype and rigging and done solely on merit!

Will Tucker - Music Charts Magazine® NEWS - Will Tucker playing Scotty Moore in upcoming CMT TV Series - Million Dollar QuartetWill Tucker is a genuine old soul that can play the paint right off a guitar. I met Will a few years ago (I believe it was 2012) while in ‪#‎Memphis‬ ‪#‎TN‬. It was ‪#‎Elvis‬ week and the place was a tourist hot spot for sure.

When walking down Memphis’s famous Beale Street I was interested in finding the best music talent in the city.

Being the social bug I am, I traveled the street for about two hours entering most all the night life establishments as well as talking to several of the locals and of course musicians playing off and on Beale Street. This was a most interesting experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a unique cultural environment with much talent.

So… over the two hour journey.. One name was repeated over and over and over to me.

It was “Will Tucker“.

I finally ended up at BB Kings (the BB Kings headquarters) in the home city of Blues music.

BB Kings was packed. The most packed place on Beale Street that night for sure.

I was working my way through the crowd to see this ‪#‎WillTuckerBand‬ and heard a guitar playing that made me think.. “I am about to hear a gifted person, possibly a future legend to be”.

I did. His name – Will Tucker

Tucker blew my mind. He could play awesome and sing too.

The part that threw me off the most was what I found out later on. Tucker was BB Kings weekend headliner his whole teenage years. Playing in the “City of Blues” #Memphis.. at it’s busiest establishment ‪#‎BBKings‬.. and the ‪#‎Headliner‬/Feature act.. on the busiest nights Friday and Saturday. I said to myself .. hmmm.. here is this boy ( now a young man ) whom the world needs to hear and know about.

I have since told many about Will Tucker and will continue to be his fan and look forward to watching his even greater years to come.

I will never forget the repeated quote I heard about Will Tucker on ‪#‎BealeStreet‬. It was “Will Tucker is the only guy in the world that has ever melted a guitar pic while playing live on stage”.

I am excited to announce publicly that I will have the honor of playing Mr. Scotty Moore on the upcoming CMT series “Million Dollar Quartet!” It is the highest honor to portray the founder of Rock ‘n Roll electric guitar. For those of you who may not know, Scotty Moore was Elvis Presley’s first guitar player. He set his sound apart on all of Elvis’ Sun and early RCA recordings. I am excited to represent Memphis and “The Guitar That Changed the World” on television coming in November!

 

JACK BLANCHARD'S COLUMN at Music Charts Magazine®

 

I was riding on a bus early one hangover morning,
going into Buffalo from Tonawanda to look for a job.
I saw a peaceful little chapel in a graveyard across the road.
I asked the driver to stop
and I went across and into the unlocked chapel.
There were just three or four pews on each side of the aisle.
The colored light rays coming through the stained glass windows
gave it the mood I needed at that point in my life, serenity.
I got a job at the cemetery just so I could eat lunch in the chapel.

Misty Morgan and I were never Nashville insiders,
and we never got paid for most of our efforts,
but for some reason we still love our work,
and will never retire.
We’re waiting for some excitement… a tour…
the Big Break.

HOW WE GOT TOGETHER…
Misty and I were aware of each other
because we both played piano in Hollywood FL
and our pictures were often in the paper.
I went to a club where she had her band, and checked her out.
I made a date with her, and she stood me up
because her friends had told her I was a gangster, which wasn’t true.
I just worked for them.

A few months later we were both playing piano bars
in downtown Hollywood, on US #1, about a block apart.
I dropped in on my club on my night off
to see how they were doing, and Misty was talking to my boss,
trying to get my job.
We began seeing a lot of each other.

The boss told Misty that he was happy with me on piano,
but he invited her to stay and have dinner.
It was a first class Italian restaurant called The Copa.
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jimmy Durante all dropped in when in town.
I met Joe DiMaggio there and had dinner with him.
Misty and I tried working together
and wound up homeless on the street for a while.
Then we lived happily ever after.

I was playing at a piano bar in Hollywood.
On a break, a woman at a table alone, called me over.
She motioned to me to lean down
so she could whisper something to me.
She said softly “You think you’re so hot playing up there
being the center of attention.
Well, I think your music stinks and I don’t like your hair.”
I jumped back and shouted “FIFTY DOLLARS?!”
Then SHE was the center of attention.

IN ONE YEAR AND OUT THE OTHER.
I’m blessed… to have Misty as a life partner.
I’m hopeful… that we make our music together for many more years.
I’m lucky…to have so many helpful friends,
many of whom I’ve never met face to face.
This may or may not be the best year of my life,
but I’m glad to be in it.

Jack Blanchard.

“Thank God I’m A Country Boy”

(Farm Aid 1985 concert – LIVE)

 

1 (800) Farm Aid

– Donate to helping the backbone of America.

 

John Denver and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Thank God I'm A Country Boy - Song of the Month for May 2016 - Music Charts Magazine®

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Farm Aid features the best that music has to offer, while remaining true to its ultimate mission.

 

Great music, supporting farmers, and strengthening America since 1985

Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on the land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised $48 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture. Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on the land. Farm Aid accomplishes this mission by:

Promoting Food from Family Farms

We know that to keep family farmers on the land we have to increase the number of people buying their good food. From our annual concert event that features family farm food and unites farmers, artists, and concerned citizens, to our inspiring and informative tv, radio, mail and web campaigns (including our HOMEGROWN.org website), we are building a powerful movement for good food from family farms.

Growing the Good Food Movement

In order for family farmers to thrive we have to create more markets for them, giving more people the opportunity to access family farm food. Farm Aid fosters connections between farmers and eaters by growing and strengthening local and regional markets and working to get family farm food in urban neighborhoods, grocery stores, restaurants, schools and other public institutions.

Helping Farmers Thrive

Since 1985, Farm Aid has answered 1-800-FARM-AID to provide immediate and effective support services to farm families in crisis. Now Farm Aid’s online Farmer Resource Network connects farmers to an extensive network of organizations across the country that help farmers find the resources they need to access new markets, transition to more sustainable and profitable farming practices, and survive natural disasters.

Taking Action to Change the System

Farm Aid works with local, regional and national organizations to promote fair farm policies and grassroots organizing campaigns designed to defend and bolster family farm-centered agriculture. We’ve worked side-by-side with farmers to protest factory farms and inform farmers and eaters about issues like genetically modified food and growth hormones. By strengthening the voices of family farmers, Farm Aid stands up for the most resourceful, heroic Americans—the family farmers who work the land. Farm Aid’s Action Center allows concerned citizens to become advocates for farm policy change.
