Country Music On the
Upswing
BY RED ROBINSON Vancouver
Sun: Feb. 21/58
The trend
towards country and western music is on the
upswing. The influence
of Elvis Presley, Sonny James, Marty Robbins and
others has caused this trend. Just recently
the country king himself, Hank Snow, recorded a
song called "Whispering Rain." The song is
new and different. The first day I
played this record I asked the listeners in call
in with their opinions and the opinions came out
50-50 for the disc. This is the
first time, however, that a definite country
song ever made a bid. Singers like
the Everly Brothers, Ferlin Husky, Faron Young,
Webb Pierce, Johnny Horton and Jim Reeves never
before shared the pop spotlight as they do
today. It will be
interesting to see whether or not the country
caravan will get as far as the pop charts.

Music takes you
everywhere. The Dixie music out today
takes you to New Orleans, the Jazz to New York
and Chicago, country music takes you to
Nashville and more emphasis is being stressed
these days on world music. Frank Sinatra's
best-selling album, "Come Fly With Me," stresses
music around the world, with stops in Mandalay
and on the Idle of Capri. I think it
points out how the world is shrinking. Music always
fits the times. When there's a depression
there's usually blues; when there's good times
the music is loud and cheerful.

Mike Todd's
academy-award-winning movie, Around the World in
Eight Days, also made everyone conscious of the
world and not just and one segment of it. That album from
the motion picture, by the way, is still on the
top-selling list across the nation. Let's take a
look at today's hits and notice where they take
you. This new hit
song called "Tequila" with The Champs takes you
to Mexico. The song "26 Miles" takes you
to California's Catalina Island. The "Yellow Dog
Blues" takes you to New Orleans. These are but a
few examples of a new trend you might call
travelling tunes.
