In Memoriam: Charlie Daniels (1936-2020)
American music lost one of its cornerstones today with the passing of Charlie Daniels at the age of 83. Though best known for his 1979 chart-topping hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," the country superstar's discography runs much deeper. The North Carolina native grew up listening to the country sounds coming out of Nashville's WSM, home of The Grand Ole Opry - unaware that he would one day be invited to join that esteemed body. He also devoured bluegrass, gospel, and rhythm and blues,

Standing Room Only: Barbara Mandrell Looks Back on New Retrospective, Releases Dance Remix of Classic Hit
Barbara Mandrell wasn't yet 27 years old, but she had already spent a lifetime in music when she signed to ABC/Dot Records in 1975. The Houston native was born into a musical family, and was playing accordion by the age of five. By ten, the precocious talent had mastered the steel guitar, and one year later, she began appearing on the famed Town Hall Party television show. Throughout high school, she entertained military audiences as a member of The Mandrell Family. A subsequent, impromptu

Devoted to You: Edsel Collects Everly Brothers' "Cadence Recordings" on CD, Reissues Albums on Vinyl
Brothers Don and Phil Everly successfully straddled the line between country and rock-and-roll (with a healthy dollop of R&B) beginning with their first hit record, 1957's "Bye Bye Love." Still an oldies-radio staple today, the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant classic began a long stretch of successes for the duo. Archie Bleyer, of Cadence Records, signed the boys in February 1957 and was keenly aware of their potential to appeal to both teenaged and adult markets. At his behest, the Everlys
