Minnie Pearl on Elvis in Hawaii after the 1961 U.S.S. Arizona Benefit Concert

"...and Sunday afternoon, a bunch of us were down on Waikiki Beach, cavorting and kidding and having a big time. We got to talking about how we wished Elvis would come down and be with us, and we turned and looked up at his penthouse, which was facing the ocean. He was standing on the balcony, looking down at us, this solitary figure, lonely looking, watching us have such a good time. He was just getting ready to start making the film, and he literally was a prisoner because of the fans. We sat there on the beach and talked about how it would be--what a price you pay for that sort of fame.” 

-Minnie Pearl (interview with Alanna Nash)

Hank Williams Sr, Drifting Cowboys, & Minnie Pearl

On this day: March 25, 2014

Legacy Recordings and the estate of Johnny Cash released Out Among the Stars. This was Johnny's fourth posthumous studio album and his 71st album overall. The tracks on this album were originally "lost" recordings made from 1981-1984 with the famous country producer Billy Sherill. The recordings were shelved by Johnny's label, Columbia Records, after poor sales of the 1981 album The Baron. The tracks were rediscovered in 2012 by Johnny's son, John Carter Cash. June Carter Cash is also featured on two tracks. Country music legends Minnie Pearl and Waylon Jennings also appear on the album. The album debuted at #3 on the US Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums. In the UK, the album debuted at #4. It remained on the US Billboard Top 200 for 13 weeks.

Some pictures of Johnny Cash and Minnie Pearl

I named originally named them Minnie Pearl and Dolly Parton ( because of the puff balls on their heads) but Dolly looked to be a boy so I named him after the man in black Johnny Cash.

Also Johnny Cash mentioned Minnie in a song of his(not by name so alluded to her)

Hank Williams's European Tour in November of 1949

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Anastacia, recording artist/singer-songwriter Ben Anderson (great to have worked with you), Rita Arya, Bill Black, Kyle Chandler, Dolores Costello, Elvira a.k.a. Cassandra Peterson (good to have met you), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp), Charles Tomlinson Griffes, Ken Kesey, Mark Kleiner, Baz Luhrmann, Roddy McDowall, Brother Jack McDuff, Lamonte McLemore (5th Dimension), Reinhold Messner, the 2010 documentary WHO IS HARRY NILSSON & WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT HIM?, Robert B. Parker, Joseph D. Pistone, John Ritter, Rita Rudner, The Supremes 1964 “Baby Love” single, Ty Tabor (King’s X), Michiyo Tsujimura 辻村みちよ, Fee Waybill (The Tubes—keep up the good work), and one of America’s best-known cultural ambassadors, Luke the Drifter a.k.a. The Hillbilly Shakespeare a.k.a. Mr. Lovesick Blues a.k.a. Timber Snake, singer-songwriter Hank Williams. He learned guitar from African-American blues musician Rufus Payne (a.k.a. Tee Tot), and that, along with the music of Roy Acuff and Ernest Tubb, influenced Hank’s style. Chronic back pain, alcoholism, and pill addiction took a toll on Hank’s heart and he died young and tragically, but in his short but hugely influential career he released 55 Top 10 singles with 12 #1 records. He’s cited as one of the essential pioneers of contemporary country music, but his reach extended into mainstream pop, rock’n’roll, and even jazz, as his songs (now considered to be American standards) were covered by hit-makers of the day and still are. 

A 78 of Hank’s “Lovesick Blues” turned up in my house when I was kid, and I remember enjoying it. In recent years I started performing regularly in assisted living homes, and my set includes Hank’s “Hey Good Lookin’” (along with “Jambalaya”). He wrote and recorded "Hey, Good Lookin'" in 1951(it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001). The song has been covered by countless artists and was a precursor to the genre known as Rockabilly. Hank was friendly with musician Jimmy Dickens. Having told Dickens that Dickens needed a hit record if he was going to become a star, Williams said he'd write it, and penned "Hey Good Lookin'" in only 20 minutes while on a plane with Dickens and entertainer Minnie Pearl. A week later Williams recorded it himself, jokingly telling Dickens, "That song's too good for you!" Here’s my cover of it (recorded by Chris von Sneidern). Meanwhile, HB HW and thank you for crafting so many great songs. https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/hey-good-lookin
