Six String Hayride Podcast Episode 45. The 1990's Episode. In the 1990s, The divide between commercial country music (Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Alan Jackson) and more artistic music (Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, John Prine and Johnny Cash) gets bigger and bigger. Money and chart position seems to guide the music business more than art and soul. George and Alan, two mainstream millionaires who work for one of the biggest record companies around, don't see the irony when they complain about the death of tradition in classic country. "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", as a film and a record, reminds us of the deep history and soul in classic country, folk, and gospel. We take a look at some of the hit records, bad records, and fun records from the 1990s. Johnny Cash begins a renaissance with his American Recordings Series. Trisha Yearwood has a fun cooking show that makes a great grilled cheese sandwich. We pay our respects to Gene Autry, Jerry Garcia, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Patsy Montana, Minnie Pearl, and Roger Miller. The June Carter cookbook gives us a delicious dessert, Chris makes another cocktail from the John Wayne drinking guide, and all the usual fun on Six String Hayride Classic Country Podcast. | |||
