Thanks for this! There are so many layers to Kitty Wells as an artist and as a person! She and her husband were such GREAT people who really played such a huge part into the foundations of Country Music. In fact Johnnie (her husband) was offered the top position of the CMA but turned it down. Instead he had a huge part in the funding of the CMA. Sadly and oddly enough, Johnnie still isn't a member although he was part of THE MOST popular country music duo of the late 40s and 50s Johnnie & Jack. Jack passed from a car accident in 1963 on the way to Patsy Clines Funeral. Johnnie was the backbone of Kitty's career, had it not been for him finding the songs and encouraging her to perform, she would've been just as happy staying at home with the kids. They were married for 74 years!!! And sang together on the road their entire marriage. Well, 70 years of it anyhow. They were supposedly going to retire in 2000, did a big farewell tour but never officially retired. They continued to tour up until 2007. Eventually Johnnies health got too bad and they just stayed home. He passed in 2011.
Kitty had MANY many milestones. Over 70 years on the road. First woman to have a #1 hit. Voted TOP FEMALE performer for 14 consecutive years from 1952-1966. Countless top singles, and albums. First woman to have a syndicated TV show, Still holds the spot for the longest standing #2 hit song in history of country music. One of the first acts to have a tour bus. She won just about every award possible, her entire den at home is lined with plaques and awards throughout the years.
The band they toured with was their "Tennessee Mountain Boys" many of them stayed with them until retirement. They always looked out for their band. Johnnie was a great businessman and a really good mechanic! In fact their last tour bus that they bought in the 1980s is still sitting in their driveway at home, he always kept it ready to roll even way after they "retired". This particular clip was from 1965 for a movie called "Second Fiddle To a Steel Guitar" Kitty's music evolved so much through the years, this time period had a more polished sound commonly called "Nashville sound" which she helped to formulate. They had drums in their band before anyone else, which was also banned from the Opry at the time because it was "not traditional" But....that didn't stop Kitty and Johnny :)
She was amazing. All of this success however was not at the forefront of her mind. She and her husband were such humble giving people. They put their family first, never ever missing events or birthday parties if possible. In fact throughout the years, her kids and grandkids would travel with them singing all over the country. They were the real deal and treated people with so much respect. Many times staying for hours after concerts to sign and talk to anyone who wanted to talk. She'd often say "these people are the ones who paid for our home" they never forgot what it was like to be hungry or not have much. Enough cannot be said about their character and giving hearts.
As far as the Opry goes, Kitty and Johnnie both were opry members until the 1960s. At that time the Opry was requiring artist to come back and be there for a certain amount of Saturday nights a year. The 1960s were their biggest years, so they'd be taking a cut if they cut back on their touring. So they withdrew their memberships. The opry never reinstated it either. Although they'd support the opry throughout the years and go on many opry packages with fellow artists.
They loved the music and never focused on the money, they just loved what they were doing and were extremely talented and blessed people. I will forever be biased when it comes to Kitty & Johnny. They deserve so much more recognition! The only traces of Kitty Wells at the Country Music Hall Of Fame last time i went was a single guitar and a sheet of music. That was so sad to me! And Johnnie Wright should've been in DECADES ago!
Note:
This song and the one it's responding to (The Wild Side of Life) have the same melody.
That's because that melody was previously used in "Thrills That I Can't forget" (1925), "I Am Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes" (1929) and "Great Speckled Bird" (1936), and was in Public Domain by 1951. Therefore, both Hank Thompson and Kitty Wells were free to recycle it.
The steel guitar worm hole is a deep and varied one ... beside the early country players/giants of the pedal steel - there are many others worth a listen - Sarah Jory, Cindy Cashdollar(Asleep at the wheel) , Barbara Mandrel, Robert Randolph (who is black and uses the guitar in very interesting ways) .... enjoy the trip
And then there is the way the steel is used in Hawaiian Music ..... just sayin'
Très bonne video. Merci 👍
Now that is country music !!!!!!
I love it!
Before I met my wife in 1981 she had been a backup singer for Kitty Wells.
If you go back to the music of the 1920's you might conclude that country music was blues played by white folks and blues was country music played by black folks, and I'd say that you wouldn't be far off on that. It's fascinating to listen to those old songs and hear all the similarities. You can hear the roots of so much that came later as well.
Hi Jess, I love your content! I have a song suggestion in the vein of country/folk music. "Across the Blue Mountains" is a folk song that has many recordings on RUclips, but my favorite is by Robin and Linda Williams. The recording from their "Live In Holland" album is the one I know best, but there is a video performance of theirs posted by Rob McCausland that has good information on the song.
I am not a country music fan, but I recently heard Loretta Lynn songs. Perhaps you can see how Loretta Lynn renders her songs and share your thoughts with us
She's deadly serious with her message, there's no trace of innuendo in her delivery. She must have known whereof she spoke. The expressions of the guys in the background weren't confirming or denying any rumours I noticed.
The history of music in the C20th was profoundly connected with technological innovation. Recorded music began with Edison's phonograph in the 1870s, which played wax cylinders, progressing to shellac discs by the turn of the century,. By the 1950s, high fidelity audio was available in the home on vinyl LPs. Radio came along in the 20s, and created its own demand for new music to fill out music programmes that encouraged a proliferation of styles and genres. The invention of 'the talkies' was soon followed by films scores and musicals, which mixed late romanticism brought from Europe by emigres fleeing Hitler with the creative energy of America's melting pot and the spectacle of Broadway. The opportunities for musicians also increased exponentially, diversifying the traditional channels of 'art' music, religious music, military bands and informal traditions of folk music. The emergence of black music that gave us jazz, gospel, blues, and soul, not in the mainstream at first, but very much sustained and spread through records. The appearance of commercial country music played on various iterations of banjo, ukelele and guitar, from acoustic to electric. Rock'n'roll in the 50s, the first appearance of youth culture that marched to the beat of singles, made by rebels who wrote their own songs, an incredible democratisation of music in the span 70 or 80 years. And on it went. Kitty Kelly's style was gentler and more mindful of propriety than was the case elsewhere, but hers was also a voice of social and political change, and she was on television, a technology that had not existed when she wws born, but would dominate the remainder of the C20th. TV would turn music into a multimedia mass entertainment business, of which I suspect Kitty would have found much to disapprove, even as attitudes became more egalitarian. But here we are in 2024 listening to her on our personal mobile computing devices, & possibly thinking 'we don't make them like they used to ...'; although that's probably been the case for at least 120 years Nostalgia is not what it was.
Hank Williams Health and Happiness show is a good listen if you want to be transported back in time.
Please react to Emma Kok with the Johan Strauss Orchestra of André Rieu singing “Voila”! It is amazing!!
