......
Dale Watson isn't one to uphold the music industry's status quo. He's moving forward on his own terms and true to his own convictions. Even with frequent proclamations declaring him one of country music's last authentic voices (like that in Crazy Again--a recent documentary on Watson's life--when a fan declares, "son, you play country like country was when country was country"), Watson is done with the "C" word and what it's come to represent in modern times. So much so that he's created his own genre, simply called Ameripolitan. In a recent posting on his website (www.dalewatson.com), Dale explains it like this: "I've been trying to come up with a name the best describes this music that me and folks similar do. When folks ask, I hesitate, down right embarrassed really, to say country. I didn't used to be that way, but with the change in country, the term doesn't mean the same as it used to. If you say traditional, or old, or western swing most folks think 'retro' and dismiss it without hearing it. I wanted a name that didn't say country anything and didn't give anyone a preconceived idea. I came up with Ameripolitan. I even put it in Wikipedia defined as: Original music with 'prominent' roots influence." And so it goes with Dale Watson, the kind of unparalleled iconoclast that's far too rare in music today.

_________________________________________________________________________________ Well
Folks, I've been keeping busy with my singing as much as my day job will
allow. As the Director of Plant Services and Security at a local
college in Lakewood, WA. With all of the security issues at schools
these days, my job has certainly taken a different path. Training Mandates
regarding security and emergency management alone keep me busy. This
morning I was awakened to a 4:30 AM call about a blazing building on
campus. I left home at 4:45 AM and returned about 8:00 PM. Ironically, on
the way into work, I was listening to Real Country out of Olympia, WA and
good old George Strait came on singing The
Fireman! _________________________________________________________________________________

Below are some of the artists I have produced so you can give them a listen to see if you like the sound I am getting and you can contact them to get a reference on how they liked working with me. No matter if you choose to have me or someone else produce your next recording project make sure you check us out. If you can't hear samples of a producer's previous work or correspond with someone who has worked with them then it is too early to be writing anyone a check. Just because someone sends you an e mail telling you they think you are the hottest thing since Garth Brooks or Shania Twain doesn't mean they are a good honest producer. Check everyone out that you do business with BEFORE you write the check and you won't end up being one of those artists that gets scammed. - Lonnie _ E Mail me at: NashvilleShowcase@comcast.net

Sharecropper's Rose By Lonnie Ratliff Short story from the forthcoming book
The Wordweaver Clayton pulled his car
over to the side of the narrow paved road as far as he could and as he
stepped out he looked up and down the road and walked around the car to see
if there was enough clearance there for another vehicle to get by, just on
the outside chance that one should come by on this lonesome Oklahoma stretch of blacktop. He decided he was
probably far enough off to the side that someone could squeak by on the
outside, if they happened to be coming this way. He hadn’t passed
anyone in either direction since he turned North off highway 3 between
Atoka and Antlers on to the Miller Road. That drive East from Atoka
had brought back a flood of memories,especially as he passed
the Atoka Pushmataha county line where the old Darwin store had stood in
1954. He and his little brother had walked three miles from another one of
the little shotgun shacks in this area that they had lived in. They had
taken the quarter their mom had given him and bought a quart of kerosene
for the kerosene lamp the family used for light for a dime, two soda pops
for six cents each, and three cents worth of penny candy. A pretty good
haul for a quarter compared to what twenty five cents would buy today.
This highway was filled with a lifetime of
memories but Clayton was able to just let them fly by like trailers from a
movie, until he came to the Darwin cemetery. He slowed down a little as he
glanced out across that field of stone and thought about pulling into the
cemetery, but decided that although it was something he would have to deal
with eventually, he could put off that meeting with the ghosts of his
past until a later date after he had reinforced himself with
a few more pleasant memories from his past. Maybe it would be best to save
it until he was leaving Pushmataha county for what he was sure would more
than likely be the last time. Clayton had pulled off the side
of Miller road right where the entrance to the old Tarkington place had
been. Back then it had been an old run down cattle guard and but now there
was a gate complete with a chain and lock. He glanced up to where the house
had once stood and nothing remained but a fallen down chimney and a bunch
of grown up weeds. This was where his family lived in 1965 when Clayton had
graduated from high school. An old house with no electricity, no running
water and an outhouse. A setting that would have fit right in with
Steinbeck’s "Grapes of
Wrath" was home sweet home back then. Clayton didn’t really
see any reason to walk the fifty yards up to where the house had burned
down but he had already come this far so he decided to go
ahead. He climbed over the locked gate, walked up to where the house once
stood and kicked around through the ancient rubble, even though he had no
idea what he expected to find. He didn’t figure the new owners would
care even if they happened by and besides they probably lived in Oklahoma City or Dallas anyway. It
wasn’t like there was anything left to steal. He walked
into what he guessed would have been the living room, though he did not
trust his memory enough that he would have bet any money on it. Lying half
buried in the dirt was the charred remains of an old cap pistol that had
been in the house when it had burned down. There was probably a pretty good
chance that it had once been a prized possesion of one of
his little brothers. Then he saw the old burned out wooden kitchen stove
where his mom had cooked many a meal.
Since he remembered where it had set against
the north wall of the kitchen he was able to orient himself, and all of a
sudden he was back in the old home place, instead of standing in the middle
of a cow pasture on the Miller road. Clayton just stood there as forty four
years rolled away and he was once again a sixteen-year-old kid with his
whole life ahead of him. He was still in this halfway hypnotic trance as he
walked out the back of the house toward what once was the barn, passing by
where the well used to be. There was the old tree where they had hung a hog
they were butchering and he had hung a borrowed chain hoist to pull the
motor out of his ’46 Ford
pickup. Clayton judged the distance to where he
thought the barn would have been and sure enough he saw a few worn out
cultivator plows and some pieces of chain to verify that this was indeed
where the old barn had been. As he glanced around he realized that this was
about all there was left of the old home place and soon time would even
take that. Clayton figured he might as well get back to the car and
drive on to Antlers and drop in on his sister that he hadn’t seen in
years. As he started walking back toward the car he noticed that he had
drifted over to the right as he had walked past the old home site. He then
remembered that this was where there used to be an old fence that separated
the house from pasture, which had been rented to Jackie Greenwood to run
his cattle. There had been an old dirt road alongside the fence
although all signs of the road were long gone; it was just instinct that
had him walking where it had once been. Clayton walked to a point which
would have been the corner of the yard when he saw it there. He froze
and stared in disbelief. There it was, somehow still alive
and bravely fighting the battle of time. How could this be? The odds had to
be astronomical, but against all odds out in the middle of what now was a
pasture, was the rose bush his late
Mother had planted in 1965. Clayton walked over to the rose bush and just sat down
on the ground closed his eyes and let his life pass in
review. The rose bush was pretty much as Clayton
remembered it from over forty years ago, when his mom had stuck a single
cutting in this almost barren Oklahoma ground and carried water from the
well as it fought for its meager existence that first year. It never was
much of a rose bush, or at least nothing like the pictures of the ones
shown in the seed catalogs they would get in the mail every year. As best
Clayton could remember it only produced a bumper crop of the beautiful
flowers that one year. Other than that one time it was pretty much like the
woman who planted it and the sharecropper kids that chased the cattle away
from it, always looking like they were both only one more bad year away
from disaster. Never more than a few roses grew on the bush, but they
always managed to bloom right when they were needed the most. Although
Clayton tried to build a little fence for his Mom around the bush to keep
the cattle and other varmints away from the roses, it was usually a losing
battle. As he stared at the bush now he thought to himself, this old
sharecropper's rose bush is a living monument to a time long past and has
pretty much served its purpose on this earth quite honorably. Noticing the
scraggly condition it was now in, he figured that the lonely rose bush at
best had just one or two more blistering Oklahoma summers left on this
earth. Like a lot of things that had grown on this farm, it had lived its
life right there on the edge, but at least it had always found the strength
to keep going when it needed to and someone was depending on
it. Clayton remembered the first time the rose bush had come through
for him as clear as could be. It was his graduation from Moyers High School
and mom's rose bush came up with that one perfect flower for his date for
the prom. The next time of any significance he remembered when the rose
bush was called in to duty it offered up just enough roses for a bridal bouquet for his
oldest sister's wedding. Those two times the sharecropper's rose bush acted
just like a trusted member of the family, producing just enough roses for
the job at hand and saving Clayton and his sister from embarrassment. The
third time they turned to the rose bush for flowers for the family was as
far as he could tell the reason that God probably put that rose bush on
earth and gave his mom the strength to draw water from the well every day
of those hot summers and carry it to the corner of the yard where she would
water it and manage to keep it alive for the future job that lay
ahead. As his mind drifted back to that last winter he spent here on
the old Tarkington farm, he almost shivered as he remembered just how
uncommonly cold that winter was. His and his brother's little lean-to
bedroom that had been built on to the house had cracks in the walls that
were big enough to throw a cat through. They had picked up some empty
cardboard boxes when they were in Antlers and ripped them apart and tacked
them up like wallpaper and that kept a lot of the cold wind out. Luckily
their bedroom was on the south side of the house or they might have frozen
to death. No one had time to think about their mom's rose bush during that
winter, and even if they had, there was nothing that could have been done.
The sharecropper's rose bush appeared to be just another lost cause in a
family that was used to lost causes. Spring came through like gang
busters, and lo and behold one day, Clayton's mom quietly announced that
the rose bush they had given up for dead was just loaded down with rose
buds. As much as she loved that old rose bush, you would have thought she
would have been more excited about it looking like it was going to have a
bumper crop of roses that year. From the safety of all the years that had
now passed, Clayton realized that his mom must have sensed a dark omen of
things to come that spring as she saw the rose bush with all those young
buds. That was just not the way a rose bush planted in Pushmataha county
soil and living under the worst of conditions was supposed to act. Clayton
remembered how she would just sigh when one of the little kids would break
a toy or some other knick knack and then say "We can't have nothing". It
seemed to Clayton that life by then had probably beaten his mom down so
many times that even on a beautiful spring day after a long hard winter she
could not let herself believe that a sharecropper's wife living out on the
Miller Road could even have a rose bush full of beautiful roses. That was a
hard truth to face but it brought him much closer to her at that moment,
sitting by a rose bush she had planted over forty years ago, than they had
ever been in life. Now he could see that destiny had already chosen
the destination that spring, when the rose bush was loaded with buds and
preparing for its triumphant summer filled with flowers. They were all just
along for the ride, never suspecting it was the end of the line for life as
they had known it up until then. Clayton's last memory as he got up from
the ground by the rose bush was that his mom never got to see all those
beautiful roses the one year that the rose bush produced its bumper crop.
That was the summer that, even though she was not that old, she came to the
conclusion that she just couldn't take any more of a life where you just
can't have nothing. One morning as the sharecroppers rose bush came alive
with the roses that would cover her grave, she refused to open her eyes and
her battles were over. Copr. Lonnie Ratliff

Lonnie Ratliff ~ Record Production
5 song live session recorded in Nashville
1. Cost is $3,750 (Three Thousand Seven Hundred & Fifty Dollars). This includes Studio, Musicians, Etc! and you end up with a mixed CD of your project. There are not a lot of hidden costs that will be tacked on. The only additional costs I can think of would be $150 if you want us to Master it for you before it goes to your pressing plant. (Call me and I can explain Mastering to you) The other thing that could cost you later is that you might have to pay songwriter royalties if you have recorded someone elses songs and are gonna include it on your CD to sell. (Example = If you want to record a George Strait song or a Taylor Swift song then you will have to pay a royalty to use that song) I can help point you in the right direction to obtain a license from the Harry Fox Agency.
2. For those artist who are new at this, Production is just about getting your songs recorded and ready to be made into CD's that you can sell. I don't press up the 500 or 1000 CD's for you but I can recommend Karen Bruno at Amazon Audio who can take care of everything for you. I believe it costs about $1500 for a 1000 CD's. A lot of the artists I produce will cut a couple of 5 song sessions with me and then put them together and press up a CD they can sell and get their money back.
3. First thing we need to do is figure out if we can work together and come up with something we can both be proud of. You can listen to the artists I have produced (Click Here) and get an idea of what I do. If you are a decent singer and I believe we can make a respectable recording then I will probably be glad to work with you.
4. Deposits & Payments: The first thing required is a $200 deposit and once that is paid we can start putting together your session. I will help you find the songs if needed and will arrange them for you using any ideas you may have. Once we find the songs and have picked a date you send me the balance of $3,550 at least 2 weeks before the session date and I book your session at a studio on Music Row. I normally use Dixiana Studio. We will cut the basic tracks and overdubs there and then cut the final vocals, harmonies and mix at Smokehouse studio.
5. The Band normally will consist of Bass, Drums, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Steel Guitar, Fiddle, Dobro, Electric Guitar & Mandolin. If I believe a particular song calls for a specialty instrument I will use it and there is no additional charge. I do not try to cut corners by taking short cuts on the musicians we use.
6. Original songs. I have about 200 songs in my Music Publishing Company that you are welcome to use (Royalty Free) if you are using them on any project I produce.
7. Time it will take to record. Figure that it will take about 3 days in the studio. If you are on a tight schedule you're part will be over in two days. First day we cut the tracks with a scratch vocal and the second day you will sing your final vocals. I figure you will have up to 45 minutes to sing each song.
8. Practice Guitar tracks if needed. If you think you may have trouble singing any of the songs you pick and do not play an instrument I can record and send you an acoustic guitar track of the song so you can practice it before you come to Nashville.
9. Final thoughts. Keep in mind that you are hiring me to make you sound good and I take my job very seriously. I will do my best to see that you have a good time in the studio. I work with some of the best studio musicians in Nashville and they will do everything in their power to make the best recording of your music as possible. Feel free to E Mail any of the artists I have worked with (Click Here) before and ask them any questions you may have about working with me. Once you have paid your deposit I am on your team and you can call (615) 742 0666 and ask me any questions you have and I will try my best to give you an answer. Probably half of the artist I work with are recording their first CD and have a lot of questions so don't be embarrassed to ask about anything you don't understand.
I look forward to working with you and hope I can be a part of your musical future.
