Making Winter Exercise Easier

| 0 komentar |

It can be tough to stick with your exercise program when winter hits. The shortage of daylight, the cold weather and strong urge to stay in your nice warm bed can all work against you as you try to stay focused on your workouts.

While winter does offer a variety of outdoor activities like skiing, snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing, not all of us have access or enjoy those types of activities. That means being stuck indoors (or shivering outdoors) and, often, doing the same old workouts.

The key to staying motivated during the winter is to, first, make it as easy as possible to do your workouts and, second, to recognize when you're starting to get bored with your workouts and make a change before you really lose interest. There are ways to make winter exercise more comfortable, starting with

Step 1: Put Your Clothes in the Dryer

If you're exercising in the morning and find it hard to force yourself out of that nice, warm bed, put your workout clothes in the dryer the night before. When you get out of bed, turn on the dryer for a few minutes. It's much easier to start exercising when you're already warm and putting on clothes fresh from the dryer gives you a leg up on your warm up.

Next: Step 2 - An Extra Long Warm Up

Inside Spinning

| 0 komentar |

I think it’s a fair statement that all of us have, at times, felt winded on a bike ride. I know, I know, that’s a big controversial statement :-) but think about the times when you’ve been out of breath, felt your heart pounding, and just knew you couldn’t keep going at the same high pace, whether you were cranking hard, going up a big hill or just pulling into a strong wind.

This is true no matter how strong you are, and it is captured in one of my favorite quotes. It comes from cycling champion Greg Lemond, who said, “It never gets easier; you just go faster.” And this is from a guy who won the Tour de France three times.)

What happens when you get winded is that you’ve reached the limit of your cardiovascular endurance. Your cardiovascular endurance (sometimes referred to as aerobic fitness) is the maximum capacity of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to bring oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles so that energy can be produced. The higher the endurance, the longer the person can put out physical exertion before becoming fatigued.

One way to develop your cardiovascular endurance is through indoor cycling sessions (also known as “Spinning”), which allows you to very specifically and intentionally utilize heart rate training under controlled circumstances.

If you don’t already have a heart rate monitor, the first step heart rate training is to get one, and the good news is that decent models can be obtained at pretty reasonable prices.

Being aware of these heart rate numbers and what they mean is very important information in improving your performance. For instance, if your resting heart rate is high, or stays elevated during low intensity exercise, that’s a sign that you have been working out too hard and need to take a break. Your numbers will also show you when you are working at the right intensity and if you have made progress in your training. A heart rate monitor helps you stay focused and take that mind/body connection to a new level. What a great motivational tool!

Heart rate training and indoor cycling offer great opportunity for cyclists to continue training, particularly in the off-season. The reason I say this is to do it properly takes a lot of concentration on the numbers and keeping them where you want through relaxation breathing techniques. This is best learned in a controlled environment and not on the road where you can be affected by wind, weather, terrain, the pace of your companions, scenery, etc., etc.

There are five generally accepted heart rate zones that measure exertion during training: Endurance: 65 to 75% of MHR. Offers a great way to raise your energy, metabolism and burn fat.
Strength: 75 to 85% of MHR. Builds strength, endurance, and mental focus to fly up those hills.
Interval: 65 to 92% of MHR. Trains your heart to recover quickly from work efforts.
Race Day: 80 - 92% of MHR. A challenge to even the most well-conditioned cyclist - test your inner Lance Armstrong!
Recovery: 50 to 65% of MHR. Allows you to relax and regain your energy.

In heart rate training, the challenge is to keep your HR within a certain number of beats during any certain period of time or terrain. (Related article: How to find your target heart rate) For example, a very challenging profile might be an Endurance ride where the riders would warm up for the first eight minutes and then add one heart beat every four minutes until they reach 75% MHR (maximum heart rate). You can just imagine the amount of focus and determination this would take to finish. Better yet, can you imagine what that would advantage that would give you in the spring when you take it out on the road!

Here’s another way in which it will translate to the road: hills! This training session would simulate an ascent (using adjustments to the resistance on the bike) which culminates an intense 12 minutes of riding at 85% MHR. The focus would be on relaxation of the upper body, good posture on the bike, deep and controlled breathing and HR so the climb doesn’t take you out. You start out at 60% MHR and every four minutes, kick the resistance up a notch until you are 20 minutes into the ride and your HR reaches 85% MHR.

Then, the simulated terrain levels off to a flat road for 8 minutes, and until next you are out of your saddle for 5 minutes. It then becomes a seated climb for the next 12 minutes during which you can come in and out of the saddle as much as you wish. When the time hits 32 minutes your HR should start to hit 80% of its maximum capacity for four minutes, and then drop it to 75% of max heart rate for the next four minutes. Finally, mercifully, you hit a nice flat stretch and come on home.

This type of ride would train your body to increase its lactate tolerance and go easily from an aerobic zone (where your muscles are fed with a nice steady supply of oxygen by your heart and lungs) to anaerobic zones, where you’re cranking hard, putting out more exertion than your heart and lungs can sustain other than for brief periods.

As you can see, knowing and paying attention to your cardiovascular endurance numbers by using a heart rate monitor to track effort as a percentage of your maximum heart rate is a powerful tool. Especially when you are intentional about this and train up to these numbers in a controlled environment like indoor cycling, you’ve got a way to develop your body’s capacity in this area. This is a very powerful strategy in overall health and fitness, and a tremendous way to develop your strength and endurance on the bike.

Proteína
Proteína dietética fornece aminoácidos essenciais e é necessária para a fabricação de anticorpos, enzimas, hormônios, tecidos e equilíbrio de pH adequado. Proteína fornece energia para os gatos e é essencial para o crescimento e desenvolvimento. As proteínas completas contêm quantidades amplas de aminoácidos essenciais e são encontradas em alimentos como carne, peixe, ovos e aves. Proteínas incompletas não fornecem todos os aminoácidos essenciais e são encontradas em muitos alimentos, incluindo legumes, grãos e legumes. Proteínas vegetais não fornecem os aminoácidos essenciais que um gato precisa, tais como a taurina provenientes de proteínas animais. Gatos precisam de proteínas de fontes animais como os aminoácidos de fontes vegetais não são bem utilizados. Em geral, os gatos têm uma exigência muito alta para proteínas.

Gordura
Gordura dietética é uma fonte concentrada de energia para o gato. Ele também fornece ácidos graxos essenciais e auxilia na utilização de nutriente e transporte. Gordura está envolvida na integridade celular e regulação metabólica. Gordura saturada é encontrada principalmente em fontes animais enquanto a gordura poliinsaturada é encontrada principalmente em fontes vegetais.

Ácidos linoléico e araquidônico têm sido considerados ser ácidos graxos essenciais (EFAs) para gatos. Mais recentemente, DHA foi adicionada devido à sua importante contribuição à visão felina, saúde reprodutiva e o sistema imunológico. EPA pode também ser benéfico. Ao contrário de alguns animais, gatos não eficientemente converter fontes vegetais de ácidos graxos essenciais para os necessários derivados. Por exemplo, os gatos devem comer carne para obter ácido araquidônico. Além disso, gatos não são convertidos LA para GLA (como alguns do animais), mas estudos mostram que GLA pode beneficiar a saúde felina de pele e pêlo. O gato também iria consumir ômega 3 e CLA ao comer suas presas naturais de herbívoras.

Minerais
Minerais são essenciais para o gato e estão envolvidos em quase todas as reações fisiológicas. Contribuem para a formação de enzimas, equilíbrio de pH, utilização de nutriente, transporte de oxigênio e são armazenados no tecido ósseo e muscular. Disponibilidade biológica pode variar amplamente, dependendo da fonte do mineral. Elementais minerais são geralmente retirados a terra ou água. Minerais quelatos são aqueles que estão vinculados com outras substâncias orgânicas, muitas vezes tornando-os mais fácil para o corpo a absorver. Minerais incluem cálcio, cloreto de cromo, cobalto, cobre, flúor, iodo, ferro, magnésio, manganês, molibdênio, fósforo, potássio, selênio, silício, sódio, enxofre e zinco. Existem outros elementos minerais exigidos pelos gatos em concentrações de rastreamento. Minerais, como vitaminas, trabalham em sinergia. Eles têm uma ação cooperativa entre eles.

Vitaminas
Vitaminas são essenciais para a regulação de metabolismo, crescimento normal e função. Vitaminas são encontradas em alimentos e alguns são sintetizados no corpo do animal. Eles são classificados como qualquer água - ou lipossolúvel. Incluem de vitaminas lipossolúveis A, D, E, e vitaminas solúveis de K. incluem C e do complexo B. Geralmente, vitaminas lipossolúveis são armazenadas no corpo, enquanto vitaminas hidrossolúveis passam mais rapidamente. Mais uma vez, o gato carnívoro utiliza animais fontes de nutrientes mais facilmente do que de fontes vegetais. Por exemplo, os gatos não pode converter beta-caroteno de plantas vitamina A (assim como alguns animais), então eles precisam de preformados vitamina A partir de uma fonte animal. Preformados necessidades de vitamina A não conversão.

Água
Porque gatos são projetados para cumprir a maioria de suas necessidades de água por comer alimentos crus, eles naturalmente têm uma unidade baixa da sede. Isso pode levar a problemas de saúde para gatos que comem produtos de alimento do gato seco e trata. Um dos problemas é que mesmo que tornam-se desidratados comer o croquete, seu natural "programação" não pode incentivá-los a beber mais água. E sua urina pode tornar-se muito concentrada. Mesmo que um gato saudável não bebe muito, você deve ter sempre água limpa de boa qualidade disponível para eles. E por favor, certifique-se de que é água de boa qualidade, o que significa a água da torneira pode ser fora, especialmente se sua comunidade coloca flúor e cloro na água de abastecimento. Se você tem água boa, tê-lo testado anualmente para contaminantes.

Estou cansado, estou cansado, estou cansado

Sono do gato e entendendo o seu gato sonolento é importante porque os gatos dormem dois terços de sua vida fora. Que é de 16 horas ou mais a cada dia e é mais do que qualquer outro mamífero, exceto para o gambá e alguns morcegos.

Por que gatos dormem tanto? Várias questões envolvidas. Predadores que têm poucos inimigos naturais podem ter recursos para dormir por longos períodos de tempo. Além disso, a necessidade de sono aumenta em proporção direta à quantidade de energia necessária. Sendo um predador, o gato tem extraordinária energia precisa para a caça, mas normalmente usa enormes rajadas de energia para perseguir, pounce e lutar que rato de brinquedo em sua apresentação.

A atividade de sono dos gatos, como o de pessoas e muitos outros mamíferos, caracteriza-se por dois padrões de atividade cerebral. Esta atividade foi medida experimentalmente com um eletroencefalógrafo (EEG) que registra ondas ou pulsos de atividade em um gráfico.

Quando acordado o cérebro do gato transmite pouco picos irregulares agrupados em conjunto. Mas quando cochilando, o cérebro do gato, produz ondas irregulares chamadas sono de ondas lentas, que normalmente dura de quinze a trinta minutos no total. Como ele dozes um gato geralmente encontra-se com a cabeça levantada e patas dobradas abaixo dele. Às vezes ele dorme realmente sentar-se, caso em que seus músculos endurecem para segurá-lo na posição vertical. Desta forma ele está pronto para a Primavera em acção a qualquer momento.

Quando kitty move de luz em sono profundo, seu corpo relaxa; ele se estende e rola para o lado. Seus padrões cerebrais mudar e tornar-se menor e mais perto junto e são muito semelhantes aos seus padrões de vigília. No entanto, gatos são totalmente relaxados e difícil despertar durante o sono profundo (referido como "sono rápido" por causa do movimento da onda de cérebro rápido). Essa fase normalmente dura apenas cerca de cinco minutos, e o gato retorna para o sono de ondas lentas- e daí em diante alterna entre os dois, até que ele finalmente acorda. Curiosamente, gatinhos cair diretamente em sono profundo rápido sem esse padrão alternado até que eles estão prestes um mês de idade.

Sonhos de gato são nascidos durante o sono rápido. Sim, sonhar com gatos, mas só podemos adivinhar o assunto. Quando essas patas contorcer ou derramam de gato-chamadas de kitty a dormir, talvez ele está perseguindo ratos de sonho!

Sentidos do gato continuam a gravar sons e aromas durante até 70% de sono, então o gatinho pode despertar rapidamente o guincho de um rato ou o cheiro de um rato. Tempos de despertar mais lentos são caracterizados por um padrão previsível de piscar, bocejar e alongamento. Primeiro as pernas dianteiras, depois volta e finalmente traseiros pernas cada um por sua vez são flexionados. A maioria dos gatos também noivo-se brevemente ao acordar primeiro.

Enquanto os seres humanos podem dormir em sessões de oito horas (ou mais) de maratona, sono do gato mais comumente consiste de curtos e longos cochilos durante o dia. Hábitos variam entre gatos mas gatinhos muito velhos e muito jovens dormem mais do que os adultos robustos. Dormir tempo aumenta em dias de frios, chuvosos ou nublados.

Gatos são mais ativos ao amanhecer e anoitecer. É por isso que gatinhos parecem adorar jogar nestes momentos e pode incomodar os proprietários cansados com despertador. Mas normalmente adaptam-se aos seres humanos que amam, dormindo na programação do proprietário. Dessa forma, elas dormem quando você sumiram e passar o tempo mais desperto quando você está casa.

Voluntourism vs filantrópica viagens

| 0 komentar |
|

Com viagens e voluntariado vai lado a lado nos últimos anos, é compreensível se houver confusão entre os termos.

Voluntourism geralmente engloba viagens de férias que tem algum componente do trabalho voluntário. Um exemplo do meu tempo com Elderhostel (agora renomeado RoadScholar) é um programa onde os participantes visitar uma área indígena do sudoeste. Lá, eles oferecem aulas grátis para os alunos em uma escola primária situada numa reserva.

Os viajantes recebem educação sobre a localidade, sua história e seu povo. Geralmente os viajantes em tais programas são capazes de deduzir algumas das despesas da viagem como uma dedução de caridade em suas declarações de impostos.

Oportunidades de voluntourism podem ser tão curto quanto uma semana ou ocorrem ao longo de vários meses. Uma das áreas em crescimento rápido de voluntourism vai no exterior para países em desenvolvimento para ajudar a ensinar, construir escolas, ajudar com a agricultura, ou outros projetos da Comunidade.

As melhores oportunidades de voluntourism envolvem participantes no trabalho voluntário para a maioria das vezes, são previamente organizadas com a Comunidade sendo ajudada e certifique-se de que a ajuda realmente está sendo processada de forma culturalmente sensível. Acho que primeiro, férias de serviço segundo ao escolher uma oportunidade.

Acho que o mais seguras voluntourism oportunidades são fornecidas por organizações sem fins lucrativos estabelecida. Para evitar salto de site a site em busca desses programas, você pode experimentar GoVoluntouring, que é uma espécie de mecanismo de pesquisa para voluntourism. Você pode olhar para sua oportunidade ideal usando um número de parâmetros, incluindo a localização, tipo de programa e custo.

Viajar de filantropia, por outro lado, geralmente significa que um filantropo, considerando um substancial presente filantrópico, visita o possível destinatário.

O propósito da viagem pode ser a pesquisa, para ficar a conhecer o destinatário, para estabelecer um relacionamento contínuo ou tranquilizar-se que o presente é realmente vale a pena.

Muitas vezes filantrópicas organizações consultivos facilitam viagens filantrópica. Eles podem enviar um doador ou um grupo de doadores para um projeto internacional que é um bom candidato para maior apoio. O filantropo não é voluntariado o seu serviço, mas estabelecendo confiança para si e para a organização de destinatário para que uma doação pode ser feita.

Algumas organizações sem fins lucrativos que trabalham internacionalmente oferecem oportunidades para potenciais doadores visitar seus projetos. Por exemplo, sala de leitura organiza "visitas" para doadores interessados enquanto Soles4Souls organiza viagens de distribuição do grupo sapato para doadores e voluntários.

Qualquer viagem para o bem é chamada, é uma tendência crescente e especialmente atraente para quem gosta de combinando a ajudar, aprender e viajar um pouco exóticos.

Estou sozinho e estou sozinho, e eu estou solitário

Ansiedade de separação do gato requer modificação de comportamento e dessensibilização para acalmar kitty chateado sentimentos e comportamentos do problema inverso. Gatos podem ir por anos sem problemas e então de repente agir para fora quando seu horário de trabalho muda e mantém-te afastado por longas horas. Férias também tendem a desencadear a ansiedade de separação felina. Acho que de ansiedade de separação como uma forma de sofrimento. Gatos não significam "agir mal," faltam apenas te tanto que eles não podem ajudar-se.

Como os cães com a mesma condição, gatos podem chorar e ficar chateados, como você se prepara para deixar. Mais frequentemente, eles não reagem a sua partida. Eles esperar de "agir para fora", uma vez deixado sozinho e urinar e defecar em objetos proprietário-scented — mais tipicamente a cama.

O cheiro familiar de depósitos de casa de banho do gatinho realmente conforta-la e reduz sentimentos de estresse. Naturalmente, estes indesejáveis "presentes" aumentam os níveis de stress de proprietário. E enquanto reação irritada é compreensível, seus sentimentos chateados aumentam a ansiedade do gato ainda mais.

Gatos não penico na cama para voltar para você, porque você deixou. Pense o comportamento do gato como um elogio indireto. Kitty não faria isso se ela não te amo tanto!

Gatos pagam requintada atenção aos detalhes de suas vidas. Eles muitas vezes vai reconhecer pistas sutis que você está preparando para deixar muito antes de você perceber. Um gato pode descobrir que você sempre refrescar seu batom antes de sair. Esses sinais de repetição tira seu poder. Dessensibilizar seus gatos para a presença do saco durante a noite, deixando-o fora o tempo todo. Colocar a roupa dentro e fora do saco todos os dias, mas sem sair de casa, para que seu gato não fica chateado quando ela vê que você embala. Misture um rato de catnip dentro da mala e transformá-lo em um playground de kitty. Que condições ela para identificar a mala como um lugar feliz, ao invés de associá-la com sua ausência.  Use técnicas de modificação de comportamento para que os gatilhos perdem seu poder. Pegar as chaves do carro 50 vezes por dia e, em seguida, configurá-los para baixo. Levar sua bolsa sobre o seu braço para uma hora ou mais. Quando você repetir sinais muitas vezes, seus batentes de gato carinhoso sobre eles e irá manter a calma quando sair.Fake sua partida abrindo a porta e ir dentro e fora de vinte ou mais vezes seguidas até que o gato te ignora completamente. Em seguida, estenda seu tempo de "fora" de um minuto, três minutos, cinco minutos e assim por diante, antes de retornar dentro. Este gradual aumento da ausência ajuda construir tolerância do gato e insensibiliza ela para partidas. Também ela ensina que não importa quanto tempo você é ido, você sempre retornar.A maioria dos comportamentos problema ter lugar dentro de vinte minutos depois que você deixar. Quanto tempo que você está ausente não parece ser a questão. Encontre maneiras de distrair o gato durante este crítico de vinte minutos para que ela não vai sujar a sua cama. Pedir a outro membro da família para interagir com o gato durante este tempo. Um brinquedo de vara de pesca isca ou perseguindo o feixe de uma lanterna pode tomar conta do gato fora seus problemas. Se ela gosta de acariciar ou aliciamento, desfrute de uma maratona melosas. Cerca de 1/3 dos gatos reagem fortemente, outro 1/3 de reagir levemente e o último 1/3 não reagir em tudo a catnip. Se o seu felino vai bonkers para esta erva inofensiva, deixe um deleite de catnip para mantê-la feliz, quando você deixar. Usar o catnip diariamente pode reduzir seus efeitos, embora, então use isso criteriosamente.Alimentar orientada para gatos podem ser confundidos com um brinquedo de alimentos-quebra-cabeça recheado com um doce preferido. Fazer extra fedorento, irresistível e algo totalmente diferente do seu habitual para garantir tarifa a tratar faz a impressão adequada.Gatos que foram fora e vi a coisa real muitas vezes não reagem, mas gatos de interior somente homebody desfrutar assistindo vídeos de esvoaçantes aves, esquilos e outros bichos. Há um número destes vídeos disponíveis, incluindo o original chamado "Vídeo Catnip" PetAVision, Inc. alternadamente, encontrar um show de televisão de natureza como no Animal Planet e Sintonize-se para o prazer do seu gato.Tocar música familiar que eles associam com a sua presença pode ajudar a aliviar a dor de você ter ido.

Música de harpa CDs projetados para esta finalidade pode ser encontrada em www.petpause2000.com.

Nem todas as dicas funcionam com cada gato, desde que cada felino é um indivíduo. Mas usar essas técnicas, isoladamente ou em combinação pode curar sentimentos de kitty chateado e transformar terreais em reuniões alegres.

Taylor Swift

Bottom Line:

Taylor Swift is one of the most talented, young performers on the country charts today. At sixteen years old, she wrote or co-wrote all of the 11 tracks on her self-titled debut CD released on Big Machine Records. At present, the first single entitled "Tim McGraw" is a Top 20 hit. And with her 12-string guitar, she does a fabulous job of blending modern country with the traditional.

"Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" was actually inspired by her next-door neighbors. Taylor said that they had been married forever. They talked about meeting as kids, falling in love and getting married. She said that it was so refreshing to see this happy couple because all you read about in the tabloids is who's breaking up, who's cheating on who and who's getting divorced. Taylor said that it was really comforting to know that all she had to do was look next door to find a perfect example of forever.

The CD closes with a fun song called "Our Song." It's actually about a young couple who don't have a song of their own, so the events in their lives become "their song." She also likes this song because it has a banjo, and you can't go wrong when you have a banjo. Taylor said that she wanted this song to be the closing track on the CD because the very last line of the song says "play it again." So, take that as the not so subtle hint to, well, play it again.

Best of George Strait Playlist

| 0 komentar |
|

George Strait is the King of Country Music with 57 Number One songs to his name. His career has spanned three decades, and he is the ACM Artist of the Decade for the millennium. I can't think of a song that he's recorded that has been a dud. It was a difficult decision, but I've picked ten of what I consider to be his very best songs to create the ultimate George Strait playlist. George Strait - 'Beyond the Blue Neon'MCA NashvilleThis western swing toe-tapper was from George's 1989 release Beyond the Blue Neon. It features the genre's requisite fiddle and steel, and it easily reached the top of the charts. It featured snappy lyrics that warn to keep an "ace in the hole" not only in poker, but in life as well. The song also provided inspiration for George as he later dubbed his road band the "Ace in the Hole Band."
Download/Purchase
Watch videozSB(3,3)George Strait - 'For the Last Time: Live from the Astrodome'MCA NashvilleWhile this mid-tempo rodeo tune never made it to No. 1 on its release on the Strait to the Heart disc in 1983, it has become one of Strait's signature songs, popular not only with fans, and also critically praised for its mournful tune and traditional country-western feel. The sorrowful story of a rodeo cowboy's life riding on the circuit rings true. The song defined Strait as a western artist. "Amarillo By Morning" peaked at No. 4, and was later released as part of the 22 More Hits as a companion piece to the 50 Number Ones release, as a nod to songs that defined Strait's career, but didn't quite make it to the top of the charts.
Download/Purchase
Watch video George Strait - 50 Number OnesMCA NashvilleThis smooth ballad tells the story of a man picks up the lady in a bar by telling her she's sitting in his chair. At the end of the song he admits that he likes her, and that it wasn't really his chair after all. You can hear the smile in George's voice as he delivers that last line. The melody is relaxing, and fits the story perfectly with the highlighted steel guitar and soft percussion.
Download/Purchase
Watch video George Strait - 'Livin' It Up'MCA NashvilleGeorge Strait has always picked great story songs during his career. One of the very best is this mid-tempo tune about how a father's love is not based on if you were good or bad, but is given all the time. A son gets sent home from school, and he dreads facing his father. But, when he does talk with his father, the elder man tells him that "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end, amen." It was the debut single from his Livin' It Up album of 1990, and one of his many No. 1 songs.
Download/Purchase
Watch videoGeorge Strait - 'Strait Country'MCA NashvilleBack in 1981, a young man named George Strait released his first single. It was a honky tonk-styled song about a man who had a fight with his lady, and she kicked him out of the house, so he decided to go drink her off his mind. While it didn't top the charts, as many of his later tunes would do, it did give him his first Top 10 song. He would celebrate his first No. 1 the following year, and by 2004, would collect over 50 No. 1 songs.

Watch videoGeorge Strait - 'Ocean Front Property'MCA NashvilleGeorge Strait shows his humorous side as he relates the story of a man who has a large collection of exes living in the state of Texas. George has tongue planted firmly in cheek as he sings "Sweet Eileen's in Abilene. She forgot I hung the moon...and Dimples who now lives in Temple's got the law looking for me." The song shuffles along at a mid-tempo pace, as we learn about all those women who did this man wrong, and why he now lives in Tennessee. This No. 1 was from Strait's Ocean Front Property disc of 1987.
Download/Purchase
Watch videoGeorge Strait - 'Strait from the Heart'MCA NashvilleThis two-stepping dance tune was George Strait's first No. 1. This mainstream country hit was perfect for jukebox play. From his Strait from the Heart disc, it provided the first major cornerstone in what would become a monumental career. This slick number would prove to be a shining example of Strait's impressive catalog.
Download/Purchase
Watch videoGeorge Strait - 'Pure Country'MCA NashvilleThis song was featured in the motion picture Pure Country, which featured George Straitin his first lead acting role. The heartfelt ballad, sung so convincingly by Strait as Dusty to his love interest in the movie, is the highlight of the film. The song isn't overly country, until it gets to the steel guitar solo towards the end. This is one of the prettiest love songs ever recorded by Strait.
Download/Purchase
Watch video zSB(1,2)George Strait - 22 More HitsMCA NashvilleThis guitar-driven love song is accented with piano and a bit of steel. It features a story of a man who meets a woman on a trip to the coast, and when they part, and he returns to Tennessee, he realizes that he left his heart back in Marina Del Rey.
Download/Purchase
Watch video George Strait - 'Carrying Your Love With Me'MCA Nashville"Carrying Your Love With Me" was a four week No. 1 song for George from the album of the same name. It also won him the CMA Album of the Year honor in 1997. The tempo here is somewhere between a ballad and mid-tempo. The story is of a man that spends a lot of time traveling, but wherever he goes, he carries his love with him in his heart. Strait delivers an emotional performance of the tender lyrics of a man who, unlike the man in the song "Amarillo By Morning," can't wait to get back to his love. The song features a perfect balance of instruments, guitar, percussion, bass, and steel guitar.

Jamey Johnson Biography Sean

Jamey Johnson Overview

Jamey Johnson is an award-winning singer-songwriter rose to the top of country music through fierce dedication to his craft and a never-give-up attitude. A life-long musician and performer, this former Marine first made his name in Music City as a songwriter. Never content, however, to remain behind the scenes, Johnson never gave up his on his dream of becoming a successful recording artist and performer. With two critically-acclaimed albums under his belt, a truckload of awards and nominations, and sold-out performances in venues that keep getting bigger and bigger, Johnson is a welcomed throw-back to artists like Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams.

Origins and Early Musical Experiences

Born on July 14, 1975 in Enterprise, AL and raised in nearby Montgomery, Johnson was heavily influenced as a kid by the musical legends of his home state, including Hank Williams, Vern Gosdin, Alan Jackson and Alabama. He was also a big Waylon Jennings fan. Johnson grew up poor, but music was always a part of his family’s life. His first real taste of performing in front of people was when he and his father would get up in church and sing gospel.

When Johnson was a teenager, he saved enough money to purchase an Epiphone acoustic guitar, which he named Old Maple. He and his buddies would load up on beer and head over to Hank Williams’ gravesite in Montgomery to drink and play country songs. Old Maple, which Johnson still owns and plays, still has the mark where he accidentally dropped it on Williams’ tombstone. Though Johnson admits to a somewhat ‘backwoods’ upbringing, he was always serious about music and was studying music theory as early as junior high school. After high school and two years at Jacksonville State University, Johnson dropped out and joined the Marine Corps, where he spent eight years in the reserves. His unit was sent to Iraq the week he was honorably discharged.

Johnson’s Songwriting Opens Doors

After leaving the Marines, Johnson performed in the nightclubs around Montgomery, including opening up one show for David Allan Coe. In 2000, he spent all the money he had to move to Nashville. He worked various jobs to make ends meet, including working in sales and industrial plumbing. He also owned his own successful construction company for a few years. All the while, he worked on his music and made contacts in Nashville. One of those early contacts was Greg Perkins, a former fiddle player for Tanya Tucker. With Perkins help, he recorded some demo tapes, including a duet with Gretchen Wilson, who was also trying to get into the business.

Johnson eventually met famed producer and songwriter, Buddy Cannon, who was floored by his music. Music publisher, Gary Overton, signed Johnson to a publishing deal with EMI Music. Johnson’s first major success as a songwriter came in 2005 when Trace Adkins took his song, “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” to No. 2. During that time, Cannon and Overton worked hard to land Johnson a recording deal, which he received when BNA signed him to his first major deal. His debut single, 2005’s “The Dollar,” climbed to No. 14. His debut album, The Dollar, was released in 2006, and though critically acclaimed, it didn’t make a huge splash, and he was subsequently dropped from BNA.

Songwriting Kept Paying the Bills

After being dropped from BNA, Johnson took some time off to work on his music and reflect on his life. He gave up drinking for a year and later admitted that his wild reputation probably had a hand in BNA dropping him from the label. “They thought I was a little too wild,” Johnson wrote on his website. “They did what they had to do. If I was in their position, I’d have probably done the same thing.” Though he’d lost his recording deal, his songwriting was still paying off handsomely.

George Strait’s recording of “Give It Away,” which Johnson co-wrote with Hall of Famer, Whisperin’ Bill Anderson and Buddy Cannon, became Strait’s 41st No. 1 Billboard country hit, which gave Strait the all-time record for most No. 1 country hits. Trace Adkins recorded and released a couple more Johnson songs, including “I Got My Game On” (No. 34) and “Ladies Love Country Boys,” which became Adkins’ second No. 1 hit. Joe Nichols also cut two of Johnson’s songs, including “She’s All Lady” and “Another Side of You” (No. 17).

'That Lonesome Song' Goes Gold

After being dropped by BNA and spending a year writing songs and contemplating life, including his recent divorce, Johnson began independently working on a new collection of songs that would eventually become his album, That Lonesome Song. When the project was complete, folks on Music Row loved what they heard. A couple of record companies approached Johnson, but they wanted him to re-record some of the songs, as well as cut a few more by other songwriters. He turned them down. Then when Luke Lewis at Mercury Records heard the album, he told Johnson not to touch a thing, and he was quickly signed.

In 2008, That Lonesome Song was released, and the praise was instantaneous. Rave reviews rolled in from Rolling Stone, The New York Times and other major publications. The album would go on to pick up five Grammy nominations, three from the Country Music Association and two from the Academy of Country Music. His single “In Color” won Song of the Year honors from both the CMA’s and the ACM’s.

Merle Haggard - Biography

| 0 komentar |
|

Merle Haggard's legacy as a songwriter and performer puts him on equal footing with such country legends as Johnny Cash and Jimmie Rodgers (both major influences).

Haggard's '60s recordings epitomized the Bakersfield Sound, and his strong output in the 21st century earned critical acclaim even while ignoring the conventions of New Country.

Merle Haggard was born in Bakersfield, California, on April 6, 1937. The city's rural landscape and Merle's simple upbringing would feature heavily in his songs.

Raised by his devout mother Flossie, Merle was a rebellious youth who often landed in trouble with the authorities. His father, Jim, was an amateur musician who had died when Merle was just nine years old. It was a terrible blow, branding Merle for life and pushing him on his wayward path.

After being in and out of reform schools as a teenager, Haggard attempted to rob a restaurant in 1957. He landed in San Quentin for the lesser charge of burglary.

Inspired by watching Johnny Cash's performance at the prison, Merle decided to try to make it as a musician. Up to that time he'd only played for friends and at local clubs where he was often paid in beer.

After being paroled from prison in 1950, Haggard pursued his music with renewed vigor, landing a job in Las Vegas as a guitarist. Over a decade later, in 1962, Haggard inked his first record contract.

After a spate of successful singles, he moved from Tally Records to Capitol Records and in 1965 released his debut long-player, Strangers.

In 1966, the hit singles "The Bottle Let Me Down," "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive," and "Swinging Doors" (all written by Haggard) propelled the singer to country music fame. The songs' jittery fretwork, courtesy of longtime guitarist Roy Nichols, marked the songs out as something different from the usual Nashville product.

While the Vietnam War raged, Haggard landed in controversy with the hawkish tune "Okie from Muskogee" (which he later disassociated himself from) followed up with the bold patriotic song "Fighting Side of Me."

Haggard continued to score hits for much of the '60s and '70s, but by the '90s he was considered old-fashioned when compared to slicker, younger artists like Garth Brooks and Clint Black.

Merle Haggard never really went away in the late '80s and '90s, but he came back with a fury with a series of gritty albums in the 2000s. After leaving Curb Records and signing with the punk-oriented Anti Records, Haggard released If I Could Only Fly, which critics called some of his best work in years.

The albums that followed -- Roots, Vol. 1 and The Bluegrass Sessions, among others -- won him some of his best notices in years, although they earned little airplay or recognition from the Nashville establishment.

Essential Merle Haggard Album Down Every Road (Capitol Records, 1996. Compilation) (compare prices)

One recording doesn't do justice to the breadth of Haggard's work, so your best shot is this impressive boxed set. It includes material from both MCA and Epic Records. Running from the '60s to the '90s, the collection includes such classics as "Mama Tried" and "Footlights" as well as lesser known gems.

Books about Merle Haggard: My House of Memories: An Autobiography by Tom Carter and Merle Haggard (compare prices)

Haggard released this new biography in 1999 (he had previous published Sing Me Back Home in 1981). It covers his early years in prison, his problems with cocaine addiction, and follows his career past the rough patches and into the '90s.

Movies about Merle Haggard: Merle Haggard: Learning to Live With Myself (watch the full film)

This great documentary was first broadcast on PBS' American Masters series, and features footage of Haggard on tour and at home. He talks candidly about his past, while musicians including Kris Kristofferson, Keith Richards, and John Fogerty talk about his influence.

George Strait is know as the King of Country, and with over 57 No. 1 songs, he sure has something to back up that statement. In 2009, The Academy of Country Music named him the ACM Artist of the Decade.

Summer Song Lyric: And I said, 'Hey now, it don't seem that late now.' I thought the party was windin' down -- hey now, look what I just found.

Taylor Swift Discography

Taylor Swift's 2012 follow-up to Speak Now has a release date of October 22. The lead-off single for the new record is "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." It was written by Swift, Max Martin, and Shellback. Swift announced the new album in an online video chat with fans, in which the country singer shared her thoughts on the new album's name.

"It was really simple. I wrote a song called 'Red,' and thinking about what that means to me and all the different emotions that are written about on this album, they're all pretty much about tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships that I've experienced in the last two years," Swift said.

"All those emotions -- spanning from intense love, intense frustration, jealousy, confusion all of that -- in my mind, all of those emotions are red. There's nothing in between -- there's nothing beige about any of those feelings -- so I called the record Red."

Best Country Road Trip Songs

I don't know about you, but each time I get in my car, no matter if I'm just driving a few miles to the local grocery store, or 100 miles to fly off on a vacation, I have to have my country music with me. I've compiled a list of some of my favorite songs to create the ultimate road trip playlist.George Strait - 22 More HitsMCA NashvilleWhat would a drive in the car be like without something from the King George? This is another one that I just "have" to sing along with.
Download/Purchase zSB(3,3)Kenny Chesney - 'When The Sun Goes Down'BNA NashvilleDoes Kenny Chesney know how to put out a bad song? Nope, not in my opinion. Most of these songs are up-tempo, but this one is a little slower, and very pretty.
Download/Purchase Jo Dee Messina Greatest HitsCurb RecordsJo Dee Messina has done her share of spunky songs, and this one is one of the best. It's a perfect song for when you're not feeling happy with your significant other, and feel like saying "Bye Bye."
Download/Purchase Keith Urban - 'Be Here'Capitol NashvilleThis is another one that just makes you wanna get in the car and turn it up, and put your "hand out the window in the wind."
Download/Purchase Tim McGraw - 'Everywhere'Curb RecordsThis is probably my very favorite Tim McGraw song ever. I love the name dropping of cities. It's just got a really great "outdoor" feeling to it, and it's one I turn up every time I hear it on the radio.
Download/Purchase Rascal Flatts - 'Feels Like Today'Lyric Street RecordsLee Ann Womack - There's More Where ThatMCA NashvilleThis is one of Lee Ann Womack's very best songs. It's from her CMA Award-winning album There's More Where That Came From. Another slower song, but still a great song to listen to while driving.
Download/Purchase Brooks & Dunn - 'Brand New Man'Arista NashvilleThis is another song that is rooted in a concert experience. I can't hear this song without thinking about Ronnie Dunn's "Neon Moon" glow in the dark guitar. This has to be one of my all-time favorite Brooks & Dunn songs.
Download/Purchase zSB(1,2)Gary Allan - 'See If I Care'MCA NashvilleGary Allan can do happy and sad, but he excels at sexy, which is definitely what this song is. Hot! Hot! Hot! Love it!
Download/Purchase Josh Gracin - Josh GracinLyric Street MusicI may not be able to sing the words of this song as quickly as Josh Gracin does, but it's great fun to try to keep up with him.

johnny cash's man in black album coverJohnny Cash ex post facto explicación de sus opciones de vestuario llegó a través de su canción de protesta de 1971, "Hombre de negro".

Llevo el negro por los pobres y el batido hacia abajo
Livin ' en el lado desesperado, hambriento de la ciudad
Me lo pongo para el prisionero que durante mucho tiempo ha pagado por su crimen
Pero está ahí porque es víctima de los tiempos.

Mañana es el día de la elección!

Gary Allan's Greatest Hits

| 0 komentar |
|

Bottom Line:

If you are a fan of Gary Allan's music and would like to have some of his best songs in one collection, then Greatest Hits is the perfect thing for you. Not only do you get his hits, but you also get two new songs as a bonus.

There are two new songs on Gary Allan's Greatest Hits album, and the first one released to radio is "A Feelin' Like That." Nothing compares to the love he shared with a special lady - not even running with the bulls in Spain. The thrill isn't there. "You're all I want" he sings. The second new song on the album is "As The Crow Flies," written by Keith Gattis. It has that certain edge that Gary Allan does so well. The man lived in Nashville for a while but when a woman tried to get him to settle down he "put the hammer down" and headed to Hollywood where the "next city is never too hard to find."

Gary's first major hit was "Her Man," from the Used Heart For Sale album which was released in 1996. It went to No. 7 on the Billboard charts. It wasn't until 1999 that he began having a string of hits. His Smoke Rings In The Dark album produced such hits as "Smoke Rings In The Dark" (peaking at No. 12), "Loving You Against My Will" (peaking at No. 34), and especially "Right Where I Need To Be" (peaking at No. 5). Smoke Rings In The Dark is the album I associate with Gary Allan's "California Cool" sound, thus the songs from that album reflect that moniker.

Best Female Artist's Voices

| 0 komentar |

There are country singers that give you chills when they belt out a song. These are the singers with what I call "the voice." The list I've compiled below are today's country female singers that have the type of voice that can sing anything, and do it with power, or understated elegance.Trisha Yearwood - Heaven, Heartache and the Power of LoveBig MachineTrisha Yearwood can sing any type of music, and sing it perfectly. She's got a great range, and she picks the songs that fit her voice to perfection when recording an album. Her debut Big Machine album Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love gave her the opportunity to record what she wanted, and the result is magic. zSB(3,3)Martina McBride - 'Shine'RCA NashvilleWith nine studio releases to her credit, the latest being Shine, Martina remains one of the most powerful voices in country music today. She may be little, but she packs a punch when she powers through emotional songs like "Independence Day," "Where Would You Be" and her latest single, "Ride." Carrie Underwood - Carnival RideArista Nashville / Sony BMGCarrie Underwood won America's hearts on Season 4 of American Idol, where she showed that she could sing just about everything really well. Every time I hear her hit those power notes in "I Told You So," I get shivers. Rebecca Lynn Howard - 'Rebecca Lynn Howard'MCA NashvilleOf the songs, the bluesy "Out Here In The Water," the beautiful ballads, "I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners" and "Melancholy Blue" stand out. Having had written songs for other artists prior to this release, most notably John Michael Montgomery, it's not surprising that Rebecca wrote 10 of the 12 tracks on this CD. The title track from a later CD Forgive really showcases the powerhouse voice she has. Wynonna - 'Sing: Chapter 1'Curb RecordsWynonna started her singing career as one half of the mother-daughter team, The Judds. When Naomi was diagnosed with a chronic liver disease and had to stop performing Wy went on to have a successful solo career. On Sing: Chapter One, Wy paid tribute to the many musical influences that made her the artist she is today. Whether she's singing a country gospel tune, or a flat out country rocker, the voice is exceptional. if(zSbL

George Strait Biography

| 0 komentar |
|

Name: George Harvey Strait
Birthdate: May 14, 1952
Birthplace: Poteet, TX

Style of Country Mix of Traditional and Contemporary Country

George Strait doesn't write his own songs, but he knows how to pick the best songwriters, as witnessed by his 56 number one songs. Some songs that George has recorded over the years are from Bryon Hill ("Fool Hearted Memory"), Mack Vickery ("The Fireman"), Steve Bogard ("Carried Away"), Dean Dillon ("The Chair"), Rodney Crowell ("Stars on the Water"), Jim Lauderdale ("We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This"), and Bob DiPiero ("Blue Clear Sky").

George Harvey Strait was born on May 15, 1952, in Poteet, Texas. He was raised on a cattle ranch and spent the summers working on the ranch with his parents, brother and sister. When he was in third grade, his parents divorced. His mother took his sister to live with her, while George and his brother stayed with his father.

During high school, Strait was part of a rock band, but soon turned to country music. After high school, he entered college at Southwest Texas State University, but dropped out and eloped with his high school sweetheart, Norma, in Mexico.

Next, George enlisted in the Army, and was stationed in Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. He began playing in a country band while in the military.

After being honorably discharged in 1975, Strait and his family moved back to Texas, where he enrolled once more in Southwest Texas State University, and he graduated with an agriculture degree in 1979.

It was while he was at college that he joined the Ace in the Hole band, becoming their lead singer. The band played local clubs, and Strait ran a cattle ranch during the day. He also met and became friends with Erv Woolsey, who had once worked for MCA Records. Woolsey used his Music Row connections to invite some execs to Texas to hear the band play. MCA was impressed with Strait, and signed him to the label. The Ace in the Hole band continued to play with Strait as his backup band.

It Started with "Unwound"
In 1981, Strait released his first single, "Unwound." The song did very well, reaching the Top 10. After a second single stalled, his third single, "If You're Thinking You Want a Stranger (There's One Coming Home)," became his first Top 3 song. This began a string of Top 10 songs that lasted into the 1990s.

His first No. 1 song was "Fool Hearted Memory," and through the 1990s, he had a total of 31 No. 1 hits. By the mid-1980s, Strait was winning awards, such as the CMA Album of the Year, in 1985, for Does Ft. Worth Ever Cross Your Mind to his win for CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1989 and again in 1990.

Acting Bug
Strait has acted in several motion pictures, including a bit part in 1982 in The Soldier, and probably his most well-known part, as the star of Pure Country in 1992.

In 1995, Strait released Strait Out of the Box -- a four-CD box set. This became the second biggest selling box set ever.

Other albums followed annually, starting with Blue Clear Sky in 1996, then Carrying Your Love With Me, One Step at a Time, Always Never the Same, and Carrying Your Love With Me.

George kept going strong, scoring 50 Number One Hits, and then surpassing that with six more as of the writing of this biography.

Always a big touring act in the 1990s, he headlined the George Strait Country Music Festival taking rising stars on tour with him, who went on to become superstars themselves -- stars such as Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, and Alan Jackson.

Strait continues to record and tour today, still racking up Top 5 hits left and right. For the man people call "King George," It Just Comes Natural.

Johnny Cash Dead at Age 71

Country music legend Johnny Cash died at Baptist Hospital at 2:00 A.M., CDT.
(September 12, 2003)

"Johnny died due to complications from diabetes, which resulted in respiratory failure," said Cash's manager, Lou Robin. "I hope that friends and fans of Johnny will pray for the Cash family to find comfort during this very difficult time."

The Cash family will announce funeral arrangements.

Comments from those in the industry below:

"Johnny Cash was one of the most amazing people to grace the Earth. His talents as a songwriter and an artist speak for themselves. I'm grateful to Rick Rubin for the opportunity to work him and Johnny on "American IV: The Man Comes Around." It was a true honor. To witness him receive his first Gold record in 30 years was one of the proudest moments for all of us at Lost Highway. He and Rick made beautiful music together. Johnny Cash was a beautiful person."

-- Luke Lewis - President Lost Highway/Chairman UMG Nashville

Merle Kilgore, best-man to Johnny Cash at his wedding to June Carter Cash and co-writer of "Ring of Fire," is deeply saddened with the news of Johnny Cash's passing.

"It's a sad day in Tennessee, but a great day in Heaven. The 'Man in Black' is now wearing white as he joins his wife June in the angel band," says Kilgore.

Lane Brody (Scream Recordings):
I feel more than privileged to have performed in concert with one of Country Music's greatest legends. His memory will be eternal.

Steve Holy (Curb Records):
Johnny Cash is not only a monument to Country Music but to all genres of music. We all should be proud that Johnny Cash extended his talents as a gentleman and an artist to create the foundation of Country Music.

Cerrito (Checo Records):
I remember the first time I heard "Ring of Fire," I thought to myself, Johnny Cash is way ahead of his time. He was. Johnny Cash is a once-in-a-lifetime artist. His name will forever be etched in Country Music history.

Jeff Carson (Curb Records)"
You know, two years after I moved to Nashville, I was in a guitar shop casually looking around and I just about bumped into this man (and he was dressed in black). When I turned around and realized who it was, I remember just standing their in awe. I kept pretending like I was looking at the guitars on the wall, but I just couldn't take my eyes off of him. I was just frozen. I'll never forget how I felt just to be that close to him. I guess that tells you the effect Johnny Cash had on me!

Daniel Lee Martin (ChinMusic Records):
When I first heard the news today, they said the cause of Johnny's death was due to diabetes, but I think the real cause of his death was due to a broken heart. He and June are together again.

Johnny's passing hits close to home for me because my Dad used to play with him in the early years of his career. My dad was still in High School and Johnny hired him to play upright bass in his band (1955).

Our family spent time with Johnny and June in Florida back in the early 80's when they bought a home just minutes away from where we lived. We spent a lot of their time on the water with them and friends.

Just the other day, I was going through some old furniture that my mom had given me. One item was a book case. I found a book and in it was a folded napkin with Johnny's signature on it. Johnny had given it to my Pop one day at lunch. Today, it has a brand new meaning to me.

Brad Martin:
All I can say is I'm very, very sad today. Johnny Cash is a legend who inspired other legends. My heart is heavy and my prayers go out to the Cash family. He has made an impression on many people and their lives. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Dixie Chicks:
It's a sad day in country music today. Johnny Cash's voice was arguably one of the most recognizable and influential in country music. It's devastating to lose two great country artists in the same year. Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter Cash were truly a dynamic force in shaping the music industry. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family.

The Derailers:
Brian Hofeldt: "I am sad to see the passing of an American legend."

Tony Villanueva: "Johnny Cash was singled out - a truly great artist. Unique and one of a kind. He was a great American, and his music was the spirit of America - all that is good about this great country. No matter what situation we find ourselves in playing music, we can never go wrong playing a Johnny Cash song. We're going to miss him."

Mila Mason (Twinbeat Records):
As a teenager, I did some modeling. I modeled in a number of charity fashion shows here in town. June Cash was very involved in the events. She had an exquisite collection of fur coats that Johnny had given to her as gifts over the years. She would let us use them as "accessories" for the fashion show. I remember going to the Cash home to try them on prior to the show. That's when Johnny made his first impression on me. I will always remember how I thought just in looking at him and observing how he reacted and responded to June, oh my gosh, this man is so in love with his wife. As a teenager I thought that! June and Johnny were in love from beginning to end. I am truly saddened by the loss, but my heart is happy to know they are together again.

Travis Tritt:
"It's an extremely sad day for all of us in the music community. Johnny Cash had such a tremendous impact and influence on so many of us. I don't know of any other artist who had such a wide appeal across every music genre.

As a friend, he will be sorely missed. As an influence he will continue to live on."

Marty Stuart's statement regarding the death of Johnny Cash:
"I have lost one of my best friends. It leaves a dark void in my life that is blacker than any coat he ever wore. He is irreplaceable. Even in death I have no doubt that Johnny Cash will continue to live on as an inspiration to musicians & songwriters and all of America."

1979 Marty Stuart joins Johnny Cash's band.
1982 Marty Stuart marries Cindy Cash (Johnny's daughter).
1985 Marty Stuart leaves Johnny Cash's band to pursue solo career.
1988 Marty Stuart and Cindy Cash get divorced.

2003 Marty Stuart and Johnny Cash record together in the months after June Carter Cash's death.

A sorrowful Deana Carter makes her statement after hearing the news of the loss of Country music icon Johnny Cash:
"The day that we would lose Johnny Cash is a day which I think we have all dreaded quietly and secretly, until now and sadly enough, that day is here. I'm grateful to him for being a rebel and pushing boundaries that have encouraged us to not only grow and live, but thrive beyond the confines of the 'norm'. He was our Beacon in Black and the Gentle Giant of our most progressive musical generation. We will miss your long, tall shadow. Much love to your family, Johnny."

Rodney Crowell:
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of my children's grandfather and my very dear friend. I loved big John with all my heart. The citizens of the world have lost one of their most enduring guiding lights. As a musical hero to millions, a trailblazing artist, humanitarian, spiritual leader, social commentator and most importantly, patriarch to one of the most varied and colorful extended families imaginable, Johnny Cash will, like Will Rogers, stand forever as a symbol of intelligence, creativity, compassion and common sense. I'm thinking Mt. Rushmore."

Eddie Montgomery (Montgomery Gentry) On the Passing of Country Legend Johnny Cash:
"Even though all of us try to wear black, there will only ever be one Man In Black. I hate to see our outlaw heroes leave because they have influenced country music so much. I don't know that anyone can stand on the mountain like they have."

Rev. Billy Graham:
"Johnny Cash was not only a legend, but was a close personal friend. Johnny was a good man who also struggled with many challenges in life.

"Johnny was a deeply religious man. He and June came to a number of our Crusades over a period of many years. Ruth and I took a number of personal vacations with them at their home in Jamaica and in other places. They both were like a brother and sister to Ruth and me. We loved them.

"We are praying that God will comfort his family and staff at this critical time. I look forward to seeing Johnny and June in heaven one day."

President George W. Bush:
"Johnny Cash was a music legend and American icon whose career spanned decades and genres. His resonant voice and human compassion reached the hearts and souls of generations, and he will be missed. Laura joins me in sending our thoughts and prayers to his family."

From Spencer, Iowa, Kenny Rogers expressed the following on the passing of Johnny Cash:
“Generations come and go in country music. It is easy sometimes for the hero’s of this genre to be overlooked, but Johnny Cash could not be forgotten. He was, he is, and always will be the epitome of country music. I regret deeply that I have not nurtured a closer personal friendship, but he certainly knew he had my respect."

Memarie (Culprit Records)
"Johnny Cash was such an icon in the music industry. I respected him for creating and performing his music his way and not letting anyone change him. That is so rare today. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten."

Charlie Robison:
"He was just one of those guys that didn't try to be cool, and that's what made him so cool - he was just himself."
