Guitar virtuoso Danny Gatton was known for the fantastically all-inclusive of the mark stylistic range of his playacting; based in rockabilly, Gatton's melodious lexicon included R&B, pop, country, tilt, and idle words, all of which he could toy effectively. Gatton began playing at previous age nine-spot, joining his first-class honours degree degree band, the Lancers, trey old age later. In 1960, Gatton pursued a nothingness charge when he conjugated the Offbeats, where pianist/organist Dick Heintze proved to be 1 of Gatton's biggest influences. The stria broke up quaternity years later, and Gatton stirred to Nashville to get into academic term wreak; there he met Roy Buchanan, earth Health Organization concisely became his roomy and taught him more around his musical instrument of option. Eventually, Gatton built a reputation as a tiptop guitar thespian around his native Washington, D.C., domain through and through his night nightclub performances. He recorded an album with his mount band the Fat Boys coroneted American Music in 1975 and followed it with Redneck Jazz in 1978. The band on the latter featured steel guitar player Buddy Emmons, drummer Dave Elliott, and eventual longtime cohorts Evan Johns on vocals and cycle guitar and John Previti on bass.


Gatton's albums lED to offers from other musicians to bring together their bands. Lowell George lengthened an invitation later going Little Feat, but was set up dead two years later.

Gatton toured the nation solo for the first-class honours degree meter in 1993 in support of Cruisin' Deuces, only its insufficiency of succeeder, coupled with the difference of A&R man Howard Thompson from Elektra, spelled the goal of Gatton's association with the judge. Gatton returned to session exploit to yield the bills, just sustained a further burn out when rhythm guitar player Billy Windsor died of a center attack early in 1994. Gatton collaborated with organ virtuoso Joey DeFrancesco on Relentless in May and toured Europe during the summer. Sadly, on October 4, 1994, Gatton locked himself in his garage and nip himself. He left behind no explanation.

   Year: 1969   

Tracks: 26






Deep soulfulness prima donna Doris Duke was born Doris Curry in Sandersville, GA, in 1945. After stints in a series of gospel units, including the Raspberry Singers, the David Sisters, and the Caravans, by 1963 she was settled in New York City, working as a school term vocalist in addition to backup duties at the legendary Apollo Theater. Under her married bring up of Doris Willingham, she hack her debut solo single, "Running Away from Loneliness," for the petite Hy-Monty label in 1966; "You Can't Do That" followed iI days later on Jay Boy. Despite solid reviews, neither disk made a commercial squish, and she returned to her seance career, much commutation to Philadelphia to record with the production squad of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. When former Atlantic Records producer Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams Jr. soft on out on his own, he sign the vocaliser and renamed her Doris Duke, transcription the 1969 LP I'm a Loser at Capricorn, Phil Walden's studio in Macon, GA.


Though considered the finest deep soul record of all clock time by no less than soul technical Dave Godin, I'm a Loser was jilted by oodles of labels before it in conclusion surfaced on Wally Roker's Canyon label. Although the first single, "To the Other Woman," bonkers Billboard's R&B Top Ten, Canyon presently spiraled into fiscal catastrophe, destroying the album's commercial momentum. Duke exhausted the succeeding respective days in creative limbo, finally reuniting with Swamp Dogg for 1975's Mankind label vent A Legend in Her Own Time -- their partnership ended acrimoniously prior to its release, however, and the record standard stint attention. Duke future resurfaced on the British label Contempo with Cleaning woman, a much-acclaimed set up released stateside on the Scepter imprint. After 1981's Manhattan set Funky Fox, she retired from music, and at the time of this writing her whereabouts and activities ar nameless.

The Billboard Q&A: Miley Cyrus

Let's catch it kayoed of the way. That Vanity Fair photo shoot? For a teen beau ideal that's all of a sudden been turned into glossy rag magazine fodder, Miley Cyrus is remarkably florid when asked about the bare-shoulder, bedsheet-entwined photo.

"I was embarrassed," she says in her rapid, self-assured clip, "but also it's like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong. I think that just makes me even more relatable. I don't think people will look at me any differently because they're like, 'You know what, I'm going to do stupid stuff too, and I'm going to make mistakes, and that's fine.' It still hurts when I think about it�but you know what, it doesn't mean that you can't move on."

So with that in mind, we'll move on. Cyrus certainly has�she's got a new record, "Breakout," out July 22 and is currently filming a "Hannah Montana" movie in Tennessee, followed quickly by a return to the Disney studios to shoot another season of the show that made her a household name. After the season wraps, she'll hit the road for another tour, hoping to mimic, if not best, the remarkable success of her last tour outing.

The hardworking professional spills the beans about her new album, new movie, TV show and the importance of being a good role model.


How is the new album different from your previous efforts?

It's grown-up. I wrote all the songs except two. My last one, "Meet Miley Cyrus," was more just meeting me, finding out who I am, and here it's more getting in depth of what's been going on in my life in the past year.

Not many people are aware that you're a songwriter. Can you talk a little bit about your process?

Songwriting is what I really want to do with my life forever. No matter how long what I'm doing here lasts, I want to be a songwriter for the rest of my life. I love it and it's my escape. I just hope this record showcases that�more than anything�I'm a writer.

I wrote my first song when I was probably 7�it was called "Pink." That shows what kind of song it was about�it's about the color pink. But you know what, darn it, I wrote it and I've been writing since I was my little sister's age.

At this point, though, when I'm writing I like to not listen to music at all because I don't want to ever be like, "Oh, this is cool," and start to sound like anyone else. I try to just kind of focus on my music and just continue to write, just kind of block everything out. I don't watch TV at night; I actually try to make sure my mind is focused.

There were many kids who were disappointed that they couldn't see you on your last tour. Are you planning to tour with this new record, and what are you going to do to make sure all your fans can see you?

Yeah, we're definitely going to go on tour. We're not sure when we're going to do that�probably early next year, later this year, we're not sure�but I want to make it a lot different. My last tour was successful, but I want to do something that no one's tried before.

In terms of the kids who couldn't get in, I don't know if I could do more�we did 76 shows last year and I don't know that I could do more than that. Maybe I could do that and take a little break and go back into it? Also, the 3-D movie was awesome for the people that didn't get to come see the show.

Those kids can also watch you in the third season of "Hannah Montana," which starts filming soon. After this season wraps, will you want to stay with Disney for the long term, or will the "Hannah Montana" show eventually wrap up and you'll move on to different projects?

It will wrap up, eventually. I mean, I won't be Hannah Montana by the time I'm 30. But we've only done two seasons, so we definitely want to work on that hopefully for another two years.

And the film you're working on is also tied to the "Hannah Montana" story, correct?

The story of the new movie is basically about going back to Tennessee and wanting to just kind of get back to your roots, but then realizing that maybe you don't want to go back to them. I think the movie is about just having the Hannah character not disappear, but kind of be put on the back burner for a minute and have Miley Stewart just really show her talent and also her ambitions and dreams and other things more than just the Hannah life.

Do you plan to act in other films that aren't connected to Disney or "Hannah Montana"? Perhaps some sort of really edgy indie film where you break out of the box?

I've been talking to people about some cool movies, but right now I mostly want to stay within my company and keep them happy and keep everything that we're doing successful and focus on that. I like to do everything that I do 120% and unless I can focus hardcore on that, I don't want to do it yet.

Yet you still find time to juggle all these projects. There was also some buzz about you writing a memoir a while ago�is that still the plan?

Kind of�it's more of a book for kids and teenagers, and I'm going to start working on that at some point. I love to write. Any way I can get a pen and paper and write down some ideas, whether it's a song, movie, book, anything�I love to do that.

You come across as someone who is very concerned with being a good role model for young kids and particularly young women. In an era when teen stars are falling out of limos with no underpants on, how do you make sure you stay true to yourself?

It's something that I've been super blessed with, that I've had the opportunity and the ability to spread the light. That doesn't mean that I'm not going to make mistakes and do things that everyone's going to be happy with, because there's no such thing as perfection. My thing that I always believe in�that I also try to tell girls especially�[is that] so many people look at these models and actors and singers and they're so perfect . . . [but] I say imperfections equal beauty. The most beautiful things in life are the ones that aren't perfect. There's so many beautiful things about life that won't be perfect that you'll learn from. I just like to be the role model that doesn't say you have to be perfect all the time. I like to tell them that their mistakes are beautifully broken.

A recent survey out of Canada highlighted your show as being great for young women because it showcases a wide range of body types. Is that something that you did intentionally, and is it important to you?

I stress about that stuff like everyone else, but at the end of day, I'm a good ol' Southern girl that likes her Cracker Barrel at 9 o'clock at night and if I want it, gosh darn, I'm going to eat it. I'm not going to make myself miserable. And for so many girls, you don't want to be thin because you want the guy to think you're gorgeous or whatever�you do it all for women, you do it all for a competition. That's so silly, it's such a game. [Why] waste your time ith a game you're never sledding to advance? There's always going to be soul that I think is prettier than me, there's always going away to be someone that I'm passing to believe is a better vocalist, or a better writer, better guitar player. There's

Angelina Jolie Pines After Brad Pitt Sex Scenes

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she misses filming sex scenes with partner Brad Pitt.

The actress expressed her preference after Wanted co-star James McAvoy described filming sex scenes with Jolie as "sweaty and uncomfortable".

Jolie admits that she was reluctant to film bedroom scenes with the actor because she prefers romps with long-time beau Pitt - on and off screen.

She tells MTV.com, "Well, you know Brad was...I'll always prefer rolling around on the floor with him than any other man.

"You know, in general."

Bill Rauch faces change at helm of Oregon Shakespeare Festival








ASHLAND, Ore. - Hanging on the office wall behind Bill Rauch's desk is a large photo that shouts the word "YES" in bright white on red through the muted reflections of a store window.

He bought it for his office after he took over last November as the new artistic director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

"It just grabbed my heart, and it didn't let go," said Rauch, 44. "I know that in my job I can't say yes to everything. But even when I have to say yes to certain boundaries and yes to certain limitations, there is the idea we can move forward in a spirit that's positive."

As the fifth artistic director in the 73-year history of one of the United States' oldest and largest Shakespeare festivals, Rauch is faced with how to keep a venerable institution fresh while preserving its traditions.

"Change is the air we breathe every day, all of us," he said. "The stakes are higher in terms of change in an organization like this."

The festival has become the centrepiece of this small town in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon.

Founded in 1935 by Angus Bowmer as the entertainment between Fourth of July boxing matches, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has grown up and out, winning a 1983 Tony for regional theatre and expanding to three theatres that offer a slate of 11 plays from February through October. It draws about 130,000 playgoers who buy an average of three tickets each.

Rauch's predecessor, retired artistic director Libby Appel, loves the way Rauch has put his own stamp on the festival.

"I think it is important for him to say, 'Guess what, there is a new horizon now, a new way of looking at plays now,' " she said. "That's a hard thing to do when you first begin. I can feel the difference. I think it is an exciting difference."

Rauch has dived right in, saying "yes" to a shake-up of the Green Show. Once a free warmup show of Renaissance dancing in the plaza outside the theatres, it more recently was a modern dance troupe. Now it will offer 50 acts performing everything from Renaissance to heavy metal.

Rauch's roster of plays includes a seemingly safe bet, Thornton Wilder's classic "Our Town," but in a risky venue, on the venerable Elizabethan Theatre outdoor stage, whose foundations were once a Chatauqua hall where the festival began. It is the first 20th-century play to be produced there.

On the same stage will be a Wild West version of "The Comedy of Errors" in which director Penny Metropulos adapted Shakespeare's script to include musical numbers and dancing in a kind of "Deadwood" meets the Sons of the Pioneers.

"The original texts we will always produce," said Rauch. "But I think . . . it's important for us in the country's largest Shakespeare festival to experiment with adaptation as just one thread of the work we do."

Appel said Rauch's decision to make "The Clay Cart," a 2,000-year-old Sanskrit play from India, one of the centrepiece plays running the whole season, was a big risk that solidified his stamp on the festival because the work is not generally known.

"It's an epic piece that is, while not a difficult text to understand, it is exotic," Appel said.

Other works include "The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler," playwright Jeff Whitty's take on what happens when Ibsen's title character wakes after shooting herself and accepts this chance at a new life, which Rauch also directed, the Wild West adaptation of "Comedy of Errors," and a visually startling version of "Othello."

They reflect Rauch's attempt to attract a younger, more diverse audience - a problem with which the festival has struggled for years, though it has never had trouble filling its seats to near capacity.

"It was time for new thoughts, new ideas, new initiatives, and that is certainly happening with Bill," said Paul Nicholson, the festival's executive director. Playgoers are resoundingly positively, and tickets are selling at 90 per cent of capacity, he said.

Rauch's background seems tailor-made for the job. After graduating from Harvard University, he and classmate Alison Carey founded Cornerstone Theater Company. The troupe travelled the country, casting local residents in small towns to act in classic plays, before settling in Los Angeles.

"My friends in school and I had read a damning statistic, that only two per cent of American people went to professional theatre on a regular basis," said Rauch. "We thought if we were to go off and have successful careers, to wake up 40 or 50 years later and realize we had only performed for two per cent of our fellow citizens seemed inadequate to us."

The project became a kind of proletarian "let's put on a show in the old barn" theatre company engaging with conservative rural America.

In 1988, they did Bertolt Brecht's "Good Person of Sichuan" in Long Creek, a tiny cow town in the Eastern Oregon outback. The cast was a mix of professional actors and local folks. The play - changed to "Good Person of Long Creek" - was set in Long Creek, with characters carrying local names. The theatre was a cattle auction barn, dressing rooms were in a tent and outhouses served as restrooms.

On the way there, Rauch got his first look at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival when they stopped off to see a college buddy in "Twelfth Night." A few years later, he was invited by Appel to direct a play in the New Theatre, the festival's showcase for avant-garde productions.

As part of the long-range planning effort, the festival is raising the profile of new play development - a difficult balancing act as research has shown young playgoers are more interested in Shakespeare than new plays, Nicholson added.

That job goes to Carey, who is overseeing the "American Revolutions: American History Cycle" series, new plays based on American history that are expected to start hitting the stage in 2010 with funding from the Collins Foundation and Microsoft founder Paul Allen.

"Shakespeare's history cycle looked at the great anxiety of his age, which was who was going to replace the childless monarch, Elizabeth," said Rauch. "He chose to address that anxiety by dramatizing stories from his country's past. That felt absolutely right."

Carey said they hope the plays will help Americans think about their own history and future.

"The goal is to establish a shared vocabulary of what the United States is, and also look back and learn the paths that led to our future," she said.

Though festival research shows young people are most interested in seeing Shakespeare, rather than new plays, the history cycle still has a great potential to bring new people in.

Rauch's 20 years with Cornerstone taught him people could change in ways they never believed possible.

"And I really believe in the power of art to change people's lives," he said.

"It seems to me that it is very naive to think that as an artist I change the world in this specific way by doing this piece of art. But it is equally or even more naive and certainly destructive if you don't recognize the art you create does in fact change the world.

"You just can't dictate how it changes the world."

David Bowie calls musical announcement 'absolute toss'

David Bowie has dismissed the news that a stage musical version of his film, 'The Man Who Fell To Earth', is set to be produced as "absolute toss".

The singer said that claims that permission for his songs to be used had been granted not true.

The Sun newspaper had claimed that director Peter Schaufuss was teaming up with the singer for the project. However, writing on his website, Bowie said he had never heard of Schaufuss.

RZ0 music released a statement on Bowie's behalf, which read, "We have licensed absolutely no material written by Mr Bowie to Schaufuss. We have never been requested to and we do not intend to."

A spokesperson for RZ0 went on to explain that injunctions may be sought against any parties who seek to use Bowie's songs without permission.
