By the early 1970s, Johnny Cash had established his public image as 'The Man in Black' . He regularly performed dressed all in black, wearing a long black knee-length coat. This outfit stood in contrast to the costumes worn by most of the major country acts in his day, that is rhinestone suit and cowboy boots . In 1971, Cash wrote the song 'Man in Black' to help explain his dress code, "We're doing mighty fine I do suppose/In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes/But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back/Up front there ought to be a man in black." He and his band had initially worn black shirts because that was the only matching color they had among their various outfits, and he claimed to like wearing black both on and off stage. From the 'Man in Black' era this is Johnny Cash live at The Nieuwe RAI, Amsterdam, Holland, on the 26th February 1972. Set list is: 1. I Walk the Line intro / A boy Named Sue. 2. Ramblin

This is Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band at the opening night of the Warner Theater, Washington DC, USA on the 28th March 1976. 'Elite Hotel ', released in December 1975, established that the buzz created by the previous album 'Pieces of the Sky' was well-founded. Unusual for country albums at the time, which largely revolved around a hit single, Emmylou's' albums borrowed their approach from the album-oriented rock market, in terms of quality and artistic merit. Tracks like "Sin City" , "Wheels" , and "Till I Gain Control Again" , which weren't singles, easily stood against tracks like "Together Again", "Sweet Dreams" , and "One of These Days" , which were. While 'Elite Hotel ' was a number 1 country album, the album did sufficiently well with the rock audience. ' Elite Hotel ' won a Grammy in 1976 for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female . Legendary DC Concert Promoter Mike Sch

Third World are a Jamaican reggae band formed in 1973. Third World's greatest success came in the late 1970s and early 1980s, peaking with their cover version of The O'Jays 'Now That We Found Love' , a hit single on both sides of the Atlantic in 1979. Their music may be a little too commercial for some reggae purists, however as their website states 'the band was born out of a drive to write and perform original material incorporating reggae, rock and funk, and a desire to tour and take music to a wider audience'. From the peak of their success this is Third World live in Jaap Edenhal, Amsterdam, on the 9th June 1979. Set list is: 1.One cold vibe. 2.Rhythm of life. 3.Cold sweat. 4.Thirld World Man. 5.1865 (96 Degrees in the shade). 6.Cool meditation. 7.Now that we found love. 8.Talk to me. Sound quality is very good (from a FM stereo recording). DOWNLOAD LINK IS IN COMMENTS BELOW. For more on Third World check their website HERE . There are a few Cd's in

Although Uncle Tupelo broke up before they achieved significant commercial success, as mentioned on the recent Wilco concert posting , the band are renowned for their impact on the alternative country music scene. The group's first album, No Depression , became a byword for the genre and was widely influential. Uncle Tupelo's sound was unlike popular country music of the time, drawing inspiration from styles as diverse as the hardcore punk of The Minutemen and the country instrumentation and harmony of the Carter Family and Hank Williams. Farrar and Tweedy lyrics frequently referenced Middle America and the working class of home town Belleville. What was very surprising, though, is that, unlike the band's previous country-meets-punk releases, 'No Depression' and 'Still Feel Gone' , the third album was performed almost exclusively on acoustic instruments. It's a testament to the group's courage and integrity that, in a time when Nirvana's '

When featuring the Go Go's recently, I came across the fact that Kathy Valentine had for a short while been a member of Girlschool .
