BUFFALO MUSIC HALL OF FAME HOSTS FREE CD RELEASE PARTY AT HARD ROCK CAFÉ
(Photos Available Upon Request)



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 31, 2009 (Buffalo, NY)--Join the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame for the release of its second compilation CD, on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009, at 8 p.m., at the Hard Rock Café – Niagara Falls, USA (333 Prospect St., Niagara Falls, NY – across from Niagara Falls State Park). The evening features live performances by Hall of Fame inductees The Headers, Gretchen Schultz with the Morvells, Joyryde, and Terry Sullivan. The all-ages event is free and open to the public.

The CD features songs by The Headers, Talas, Ed Bentley, Gretchen Schulz, Tommy Z, Taylor Made Jazz, Jim Ehinger, Terry Sullivan, The Morvells, Gurf Morflix, The Plimsouls (Peter Case), Willie Nile, Stan and the Ravens, Willie Haddath, Jim Whitford, and Joyryde. A number of the tunes by these Buffalo Music Hall of Fame Members offered on the Volume II CD are either versions of hits that have not been previously released on other CDs or they have been recorded especially for this CD. One example is “Rag Top” by the legendary Stan and the Ravens. This tune was recorded over 20 years ago and this CD is the only place it can be heard. “On The Road To Calvary” was recorded specifically for this CD by Willie Nile.

In addition, guests will be able to purchase the limited edition Buffalo Music Hall of Fame charity pin. Fifteen percent of the purchase price of each pin supports the community based program initiatives that are brought forth by the BMHOF.

I just listened to your song "Who Was That Old Man?" Sad to say, there is probably only one performer who could take that song and run with it, and that is the late John R. Cash. Frankly, I think you can do a better job than most of our current male country singers.

Have you ever heard the song "Matthew 24?" I have it by Kitty Wells, but I know a lot of others recorded it. I do it at our local Cowboy Church and it is one of their favorites.

Keep pickin' and writin' We need more of your kind of country.

CD Review - By Bob Silvestri
Ed Bentley-"Who Needs Jamaica"
bobsilvestri@bestofwny.com

The year 2008 saw big things for rockabilly king Ed Bentley. The release of his new CD Who Needs Jamaica?, his long overdue induction into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame and a killer performance of his new hit "Buffalo Man" at this year's Hall of Fame induction gala that brought down the house. His new CD the previously mentioned Who Needs Jamaica? was recorded in Nashville this time and features eleven tracks written or co written by Bentley. His smooth style would suit fans of everyone from Jimmy Buffet to Carl Perkins to George Jones and more. The standouts here include "Watching Tilly Dance", "Common Ground", the ballad "The Next Me", the title cut "Who Needs Jamaica?", "Life Comes at You" and the Texas swing number "Hank & The Boys". The center piece of the disc is the track "Buffalo Man" one of the best pieces of music ever written about the Queen City. In an almost country/rap delivery Bentley sums of the life and times of every Buffalo musician and for that matter any Buffalonian. It has an enjoyably easy laid back feel that appeals to all ages and genre of music lovers. There are actually two versions of the song available, one on this disc and another version with slightly different lyrics issued as a radio promo that is destined to be a collector's item. If the saying is true that things get better with age Ed Bentley is just hitting his stride. Check out www.edbentleymusic.com to find out more about this treasured Western New York musician.

Ed Bentley ” Who Was That Old Man “
Filed under: Uncategorized — theageingrocker @ 12:15 am

Hi All,

As the Christmas season draws ever nearer and thoughts turn to things you can get for stocking fillers and such, why not give yourself a pressie (just a tiny one) if you like me are an afictionado of Country Music (despite the name of this blog LOL ) you could do a lot worse than download a copy of Mr Ed Bentleys awesomely thought provoking track ” Who Was That Old Man ” . I don’t usually rave about a song much but on hearing this one I’ll admit it did make me think. It’s not overtly Country but has an appealing laid back quality to it that keeps you listening musically it’s sound nice haunting guitar ever present in the background but its just that in the background not in your face , where the song really shines is in the lyrics . Here Mr Bentley captures a moment in time perfectly painting a picture so vividly with words that in your minds eye you see the scenes perfectly clearly. That and Ed’s deep almost spoken vocal draws the listener in to want to hear more.

The track is available as a HQ mp3 download at the very affordable price of only 99 cents. on the download page you can also watch a stunning video presentation of the track prepared by Dixie McCorkell of Triplestrand Productions MN USA , the video is embeddable from U-Tube so if you like it grab it unfortunately the audio track on the video is in mono only so to get the full stereo version I advise purchasing the track.

Well thats me for this session I’ll be back with more over the Holiday period .

Greetings

The Ageing Rocker

Hi Gang:

Sadly, an era in country music that has been dying piece by piece, legend
by legend, over a period of fifty-five years finally came to its unhappy
conclusion yesterday morning here in Nashville.

Don Helms, the great steel guitar player, passed away. He was the last
surviving member of Hank Williamsâ?T original Drifting Cowboys band.

He was also one of the funniest men and finest human beings it has ever
been my privilege to know.

[More:]

If you were down in the dumps and you needed a good laugh to cheer you up,
you called Don Helms. If you wanted somebody to tell you the real story of
Hank Williamsâ?¦his songs, his charisma, and his demons...you called Don
Helms. You wanted a great steel player who never changed his style over the
years, but whose style never went out of style, you called Don Helms.

Iâ?Tll never forget a night not long after I came to Nashville when I was
riding home from a tour in the back of the Wilburn Brothersâ?T long black
Cadillac. Don was working for them at that time, both as a road musician and
as a businessman in their publishing and booking offices. On this particular
night, he was also their chauffeur, climbing under the wheel somewhere in
Michigan and pointing the car, as he had so many times during his career,
toward Nashville.

For some reason, I couldnâ?Tt fall asleep that night, so I leaned across
the back of the driverâ?Ts seat and began asking Don questions about Hank
Williams. I found him more than willing to talk, to share storiesâ?¦some
funny, some sadâ?¦mesmerizing me mile after long, dark mile.

He told me about endless days and nights on the road before air
conditioned cars and interstate highwaysâ?¦.about Hankâ?Ts incredible back
painâ?¦about his problems with Audreyâ?¦about how he loved to fishâ?¦how
much he loved Bocephusâ?¦and how he could turn a phrase and write a song in
virtually no time at all. Hank had been my boyhood hero, and to find myself
one-on-one with the man responsible for so much of his musical sound was
almost more than a wide-eyed kid from Georgia could take.

In later years, when I needed someone to come talk about Hank on my radio
shows, Don was there. When we needed a legend back in January of this year
to play steel guitar on our Countryâ?Ts Family Reunion videos, Don was
there. For the rest of my life I will remember Donâ?Ts playing â?oCold Cold
Heart� all by himself in that studio filled with stars, Vince Gill sitting
nearby, tears streaming down his face. When the song was over, Vince looked
at the rest of us gathered in the room and said, â?oGuys, THATâ?TS the
reason I came to Nashville.�

I consider myself so lucky to have known and traveled and existed in the
presence of Don Helms. His music will live forever.

I just wish he could have done the same.

Bill Anderson

-Here We Go Again!-
By Bob Silvestri

Ed Bentley, a rockabilly music pioneer in the 50’s and 60’s, thought his career had wound down with the exploding rock scene of the time and settled in to life back in Buffalo. In 2004 he was honored with induction to The Rockabilly Hall of Fame and after a little thought and a little persuasion he returned to the recording studio to release a new CD titled Here We Go Again!. He assembled an elite group of Buffalo musicians (John Dieckman, Dwane Hall, Nick Veltri, Doug Morgano, Mike Phelps, Jim Ehinger, Rob Peltier, Jim Brucato, Willie Schoelkopf, Linda Lou Shriver, Mark Winsick and Ted Andrews) at Sessions Studios to record the disc a mix of covers and original songs. Bentley covers Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm” and Carl Perkins “Matchbox” with aplomb. “Let’s Tear it Up” a Doug Morgano tune and the John Dieckman penned “Honey I’ll Be Gone” are outstanding. Bentley’s own “Rock A Baby Boogie”, “Lovin Man” and “Dance Bop A Shoo Bop” ooze authenticity. The disc is currently featured on play lists and radio through out Europe and is getting a lot of buzz overseas.

Barbara Pittman Gone at Age 67
Portions of this article courtesy Stephen D Price & Memphis Commercial Appeal - Rockabilly singer Barbara Pittman never had a smash hit, but could occasionally find work performing. The Sun Records and Phillips International recording artist's popularity in Europe remained constant, and she last performed in England in March.
"She made her living singing. I never knew Barbara to do anything else," said Pittman's sister, Carlene Day of Arlington.
Pittman died at her Memphis home Oct. 29 of heart failure. She was 67. Best known for the classic "I Need a Man," Pittman was born in North Memphis. Her mother was friends with Gladys Presley and Pittman and Elvis Presley knew each other as children. Early in their careers, the young singers one night stayed up late taking publicity photos of each other. "They were up to 3 in the morning," Day said. "She got in trouble with Mama for that. She said, 'But Mama, it's Elvis.' Mama said, 'I don't care who it is.'"
Pittman began thinking of a singing career when she won a high school talent contest, Day said. As a child, Pittman spent time at her uncle's pawn shop on Beale Street, where she listened to jam sessions with B.B. King.
When she was 10 or 11, she auditioned for Sun Records, only to be told by Sam Phillips to come back when she learned how to sing. Later Phillips would be impressed by a demo she cut, "Playing for Keeps," and recorded her first session at Sun in 1956, according to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame Web site.
Other singles followed, including "No Matter Who's to Blame," "Two Young Fools in Love" and "I'm Getting Better all the Time." John Singleton, president of Sun Entertainment in Nashville, said Phillips used mostly male singers but liked Pittman.
Barbara did several shows for the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Memphis and one in Las Vegas during the past 5 years. Sadly, she was often overlooked when the Memphis area Sun Tribute Shows were put together. She especially enjoyed joining Ace Cannon's band on stage for a song or two.
Day said her sister had a good sense of humor and "could tap dance. She could do anything." After that trip to England in March of 2005, Day said her sister's health declined. A memorial service was held Saturday, November at Family Funeral Care in Memphis.
The Rockabilly Hall of Fame will soon host a special tribute page for Barbara where fans, friends and family may share their thoughts about her life and career. Send you tribute for Barbara now - to: Bob Timmers.

Ed Bentley - Here We Go Again
Recently inducted to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, Ed Bentley gives serious cred to his induction with this CD. Foot stomping music with a gritty edge steeped in boogie rock roots, Ed's gravelly, soulful voice has a high octane vehicle. The full throttle country edged Freight Train Boogie the barrel house shag inducing Dance Bop a Shoo Bop and the beach tinted ballad Bluebirds Over the Mountain show slightly different sides. Throwback music with just the right modern edge. URL: http://www.edbentleymusic.com E-mail: rsargent@adelphia.net:->

Here We Go Again, Ed Bentley
RaBHoF CD-122


Ed Bentley's new album hits off with a classic Delmore Brothers song "Freight Train Boogie". Good choice I would say, it sets the mood for some American roots music to come, and it introduces the great musicians that accompany Ed on his new album. Ed's got a dark and raw voice, while already in his 60s, apparently the man's still got lots of mojo. "Rock A Baby Boogie", written by Ed himself, follows in the same style.

Another selfpenned song is "Dance Bop A Shoo Bop", piano boogie woogie, guitars and harmony vocals. After that, Ed is picking up speed with a song Doug Morgano wrote "Let's Tear It Up". Superb Sun-style rockabilly with magnificent guitar riffs by Doug himself. The song, and Ed's voice as well, remind a bit of the classic recordings of Sonny Burgess.

A cool slow paced intermezzo is a cover of Ersel Hickey's "Blue Birds Over The Mountain", followed by another boogie woogie rocker "You Been Changing Your Mind", which also includes some great guitar licks. Ed's original "Slap Happy Boogie Band From Tennessee" is back to the roots of rockabilly, a real gone bass pluckin' slapper. Basic and simple, exactly what rockabilly is all about.

"Lovin' Man", another selfpenned song, goes back to country music roots, while Johnny Cash' classic Sun hit "Get Rhythm" brings back the beat. Ed does great too on Barbara Pittman's "I'm Getting Better All The Time" as well as on Sanford Clark's "The Fool". On "Oh Yeah" we are presented again with the raw Sonny Burgess sound, very nice harmony and guitar pickin', and a fabulous saxophone break. Ed closes his album with a tribute to the ever great Carl Perkins with "Matchbox".

Ed bentley is a fantastic singer with a voice just cut out for rockabilly music, he's got one hell of a band and the recordings are superb. Having said that, I also think the album might just be a bit too perfect, a bit more "wildness", like we had in the fifties, might have been good idea. My favorite pick from this CD would be "Oh Yeah", great song!
