Born on 30 April 1975 in Emporia Virginia Elliot Sadler William Barnes began his career young. When he was 8, Sadler would have brought home 200 wins in 1984 Virginia State Karting Championship and the North Carolina Gold Cup in 1992. When he reached the age of 14, Sadler was named runner-up for the World Karting Association title. It was more clearly the Sadler family that the young Sadler had a tremendous amount of talent in racing and in his youth, he concentrated more on Late Model Stock Car divisions.
This Bon Jovi fan was already hot on the trail in the Winston Racing Series at the age of 18, which was later to race full time in the same year. After he won his first win, drove He continued with a blaze of glory with the title Champion title at the South Boston Speedway with 13 victories in his pocket during this time. All the time Sadler was still studying at the James Madison University in Virginia as well. This was the prospective driver's commitment not only racing, but his books. It's a little known fact that Sadler was actually 18 small-college scholarship offers, but he turned to the James Madison University, where he was to play basketball for Charles Driesell. But waived a knee injury him of it.
Sadler took over in 1995 with a bang, as he made his Busch Series debut in South Boston, he went to race at Richmond International Raceway, 24, where he came. In 1196 he entered the # 29 Chevy WCW with Diamond Ridge Motorsports. He came in fifth in the Miami-Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex and finished 35th in the points in this year. His breakthrough came in 1997 when he started his first career race at Nazareth Speedway, which followed with wins at Myrtle Beach Speedway won, Gateway International Raceway and his attempt at qualifying for the UAW-GM Quality 500 Cup. He added however that his Cup debut at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1998 but finished 42nd at the because of engine problems.
After his previous stay in those years, Sadler went to the Cup series full force in 1999. He finished tenth at the Texas Motor Speedway, 24 at points and was runner-up for Rookie of the Year. Later completed during the Busch Series, where he filled in Andy Santerre fifth. The next year was not so great for him as he fell to 29 Place in the championship. In 2001, however, Sadler won his first career Cup race at Bristol. He has since gone on to the pole at Darlington Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway win. The next season he won again at Texas Motor Speedway and California Speedway.
The avid hunter who also as a hunting guide in the off-season in Virginia has a bumpy ride through the years from 2005 to today. He won another pole at Talladega in '06 with the 19th Place in the championship. He had seven starts and his best Busch finish was his second place in Richmond. In 2007, Sadler was counted in some of the other drivers, while in a fraud scandal Daytona participated 500th
Sadler, who was a great athlete in his youth now has 38 hunting dogs and is currently charged with Amanda Prince. When asked what he would do if he do not drive, the cheeky Virginian replied that he was a country singer. Sadler also credits his favorite drivers, Dale Jarrett and Mark Martin as his Mentor on the track. He claims a lot of them have learned and inherited wisdom beyond his years.

Taking Texas to the Country $16.78 Gary P. Nunn is a legend in Texas, one of the state’s great singers and songwriters and a member of the Texas Hall of Fame. He’s one of the founders of the so-called outlaw movement, the anti-Nashville gang that shunned studio gloss in favor of a more rough and ragged sound. Nunn’s still going strong and putting out albums that showcase the diversity of the Texas country music scene. He might be better known if he toured more outside of Texas, but his albums tell you all you need to know about the man and his music. This set kicks off with Steve Kundert’s traditional drinkin’ song “Déjà Vu.” Nunn’s deadpan vocal is supported by producer Tommy Detamore’s pedal steel and Derek Groves’ twang-heavy lead guitar. Songwriter Levi Mullen contributes “Down to Louisiana,” a Cajun jump-up with Groves and fiddler Bobby Flores shooting off instrumental sparks to complement Nunn’s jubilant vocal. Mullen’s “A Two-Step Away” is a lighthearted honky tonk dance tune with a stomping beat and some nice Bob Wills-style fiddle by Flores. Nunn contributes four new tunes to his considerable catalog of hits: “Taking Texas to the Country” sets the history of Texas music to a driving blues-rock beat with Groves tossing off crunchy chords and bluesy bent-note runs as Nunn celebrates Willie, Wills, and other legends; “It’s Not Love” is a reggae-flavored tune that borrows a few lines from Merle Haggard’s “It’s Not Love But It’s Not Bad”; “Lonesome Lone Star Blues” is the tale of an underemployed worker wandering the state trying to find a place to call his own; and “The Rest of My Life” is a slow swing blues delivered in Nunn’s growling hopeless lower register. It’s the kind of hopeless, aching love song you’ll never hear coming out of Nashville, and brings the album to an emotional climax. ~ j. poet, Rovi Performers: Bobby Flores – Fiddle; Julia Magnes – Vocals (Background); Beau Johnson – Vocals, Drums; Bracken Hale – Vocals (Background), Guitar (Bass); Derek Groves – Guitar (Electric), Guitar (Acoustic); Gary P.

The South Coast of Texas $14.38 Guy Clark’s Warner Brothers album The South Coast of Texas was issued in 1981. Rodney Crowell, Clark’s Houston running partner, produced. It was before Crowell struck pay dirt producing his then wife Rosanne Cash or landing his own platinum records, which made this a big record for both men. Recorded in Los Angeles instead of Nash Vegas, Crowell was trying something that would affect his career in a very positive way when handling the production duties on Rosanne’s records. The South Coast of Texas boasted a new slew of studio masters including Emory Gordy, Richard Bennett, Hank DeVito, Glen D. Hardin, the late drummer Larrie Londin, Rosanne Cash, Ricky Skaggs, and Pure Prairie League frontman and guitarist Vince Gill — completely unknown in Nash Vegas. Moving toward a more basic but electric approach, Crowell and Clark ran through a deck of songs that reflected Clark’s attention to minute, even painstaking detail. The pair recut “Rita Ballou” from Clark’s first album, making it sizzle and pop with a run of guitars and pedal steel. In addition, Clark’s version of his own “Heartbroke” appeared here. While it received airplay, it wasn’t until Ricky Skaggs recorded it a year later (he sang backup on the original) that it was a hit, going to the top of the country charts. The Clark/Crowell co-write, “She’s Crazy for Leavin’,” was among the most commercial songs Clark ever wrote, but it was also one of the most poignant. (Crowell hit pay dirt with it in 1988 on his own record.) “Crystelle” with Rosanne Cash is a stunner with its cascading chorus and haunting refrain, and “New Cut Road” is classic Clark, all masculine and unsentimental yet nonetheless reflecting a kind of folky tenderness that lies at the heart of his best work. South Coast of Texas was a transition album toward the mature Clark style, one that was first to emerge on his next album, Better Days. It’s not a landmark in his catalog, but neither is it anything that could remotely be considered a failure. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Richard Rodney Bennett – Concertina, Lap Steel Guitar, Triangle, Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric); Ricky Skaggs – Fiddle, Vocals; Emory Gordy – Mandolin, Bass, Piano, Guitar (Acoustic); Frank Reckard – Guitar; Glen D.

The Swingle Singers $6.38 The Swingle Singers heard here are not the original French group that were an essential part of any cocktail-party-ready LP shelf in the late ’60s, but the group’s second (and still viable) incarnation, founded in London in the 1970s. There is no indication of when and where the music was recorded, or of the original recordings from which it was taken — features that are always desirable in a compilation disc, even if the print be small. That complaint aside, The Swingle Singers is a wonderful collection, and one of the rare ones that may actually be a better representation of the performers’ talents than any of the original recordings of the London group (the French recordings, on Philips, are best of all). This is because the Swingle Singers devoted some of their recordings to a single composer (Bach, most famously) or genre, while the pieces presented here rotate among three different sources: Bach, Mozart, and a group of recordings of diverse traditional materials. This is sufficient to display many of the startlingly evocative effects this famed group of unaccompanied singers could achieve — the calm “string” sound of the female singers in the slower Bach works, the uncanny South American “percussion” in Cachapaya (track 5), the impressive synthetic intelligence of Ward Swingle’s arrangements of full-scale works such as the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor. As so often with groups that seem at first like trivial passing novelties but then turn out to still be interesting after four decades, the listener will realize that there is often something else going on besides the basic trick of performing instrumental pieces with all vocals. There is the jazzing-up of Bach and Mozart, which was not common when the Swingle Singers came into existence. There is the sheer extremity of the vocal styles, which would now go by the name of extended technique. And there is always a fascinating dimension of parody of the 1960s cocktail aesthetic — or of self-parody, for the Swingle Singers were part of that aesthetic. This nicely remastered collection may inspire many listeners to hunt up some of the older Swingle Singers albums, but those listeners may find that this disc remains a favorite as well. ~ James Manheim, Rovi |

The Singers $13.58 As its title states, The Singers pays homage to the vocalists that complete Nouvelle Vague’s atmospheric sound. This collection of songs from the singers’ other projects just reaffirms why Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux chose these particular vocalists: tracks such as the delicate chamber folk of Melanie Pain’s “Peut-Etre Pas” and Shana Halligan’s lounge-y “Private Meeting” don’t stray far from Nouvelle Vague territory. Indeed, the ambience is almost identical to a proper Nouvelle Vague album, minus some of the winking inherent in the band’s recasting of new wave, post-punk, and synth pop into smoother sounds (although Nadeah Miranda’s “At the Moment” boasts a simpatico cabaret flair). The Singers also covers more moods than a typical Nouvelle Vague album does, spanning Karina Zeviani’s festive “Buiu” to Meeko featuring Eloisia’s torchy, seductive “Perfume e Caricias.” Other highlights include Phoebe Killdeer & the Short Straws’ “Fade Out Lines,” which ventures into smoky jazz, and the trip-hop stylings of “Nicole” by les Petroluses featuring Camille, probably one of the better-known singers outside of Nouvelle Vague’s confines. The Singers doesn’t offer anything drastically different than what Nouvelle Vague fans have come to expect, but it’s a nice companion piece that adds some depth to the project. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi |

Live at Billy Bob’s Texas: Ol’ Country Singer $12.78 The true reigning king of country singers and songwriters is Merle Haggard. That’s right, not George Jones, but Merle Haggard. Hag takes lots of chances not only in his songs and arrangements but with his voice. He throws it around, reaching both high and low, slurring and whining and moaning to get his — and others’ — tunes across in as heartfelt and authentic a manner as is possible on a given night. That is evidenced by his second live offering from Billy Bob’s Texas, Ol’ Country Singer. Haggard and the Strangers roar through a set that is full of surprises as well as nuggets. Kicking off with a medley of “Runnin’ Kind” and “Lonesome Fugitive,” he and the band jump right into Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” followed by “Texas Women” with a full-on jazzed-up Western swing arrangement. As is his trademark, Haggard surrounds himself with bandmembers who are superchoppers — not in the Nash Vegas sense where any arrangement is played with requisite perfection, but instead with a band that can change modes, styles, and moods quickly and seamlessly in order to find the balance Merle seeks to get over to the crowd. Norm Hamlet is here, as are Don Markham and Scott Joss. Guitarist Norm Stephens has replaced Redd Volkaert masterfully. Criminally forgotten country great Janie Fricke guests on the devastatingly beautiful “A Place to Fall Apart” and the moving country-soul of “Natural High.” Hag pulls out the patriotic odes as well in “Rainbow Stew” and “Fightin’ Side of Me,” and the conviction in his voice is not conservative or liberal but that of an American poet speaking his mind. Hag duets with rhythm guitarist Freddy Powers on the title track — there is a studio version tagged on to the end of the album as well. Near the end Hag pulls out two surprises: one is a moving version of “Kern River” and the other, “Footlights,” is one of his most poignant tomes, here rendered with reverie and the awareness of age and mortality’s creep. The loneliness of Haggard’s life is balanced with the blessings. This is easily the most intimate moment here. For the hardcore to be sure, but Ol’ Country Singer is a welcome and worthy addition to the Merle shelf. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Performers: Freddy Powers – Guitar (Rhythm), Vocals; Norm Hamlet – Dobro, Pedal Steel; Scott Joss – Fiddle; Don Markham – Saxophone, Vocals, Trumpet; Doug Colosio – Piano; Janie Fricke – Vocals; Johnnie Barber – Drums; |
