Country Quizzin’: 01/19/09 Edition
January 19, 2009
UPDATE: Sorry for the delay. Please note that the weekly quiz will now be posted on Tuesday nights instead of Monday, with this answer/ranking update coming on Wednesday nights at (probably) 11:30 EST. It looks like my schedule is finally concrete, so that should be the final routine you can expect from here on out.
Once again, the answers follow their respective questions, and each album title will link you to Amazon, where you can explore that project more fully.
Now for this week’s results. Grading this was a bit tricky, since some album titles (like the Buck Owens and Merle Haggard ones) are hard to get exactly right simply because of their phrasing, which I don’t want to penalize for because it’s pretty irrelevant. Therefore, if I felt you got the gist of that kind of title, I gave you the point.
In 1st place (15.5/16): CMW
Tied in 2nd place (15/16): Paul W. Dennis, Erik North
In 4th place (14/16): Chad
Tied in 5th place (13.5/16): Hollerin’ Ben, Gavin
And here are the current top 8 of this month’s cumulative rankings, comprised so far of scores from this week and last (since I didn’t count the first trial week):
Tied in 1st place (23/26): CMW, Chad, Gavin
Tied in 4th place (20.5/26): Hollerin’ Ben, J.R. Journey
In 6th place (19.5/26): Occasional Hope
In 7th place (18.5/26): Jordan Stacey
In 8th place (17.5/26): Russ
And there are many loyal players lying just beneath the 8th place. So you see, there is still a lot of room for upsets among these rankings depending on what shakes down next week – and hey, if you want to have a leg up on the competition, it’s as easy as brushing up on the genre’s greatest women before next Tuesday evening! Have a great week, everyone! – Dan

It’s common knowledge that country music has traditionally been a singles business, and common speculation that it’s liable to move back in that direction soon. But lest we forget, there are still certain full albums whose vision and impact have given them enough of a legacy that you can sufficiently embarrass yourself by not being familiar with them. And it’s with that possibility in mind that I introduce your present task: to identify sixteen classic albums.
OK, I know – predictable, especially after last week’s classic singles post. But some of the works described here are so important that you would totally flunk Country Music 101 if you didn’t have at least a passing familiarity them. The rest are gems that may have never gotten their commercial day, but which history has been extremely kind to nonetheless. And all of them are essential listening for anyone who wants a fuller understanding of country music’s history and breadth. This is a trivia game, of course, but I want us all to learn, too. I certainly had to, for some of these questions!
Finally, there aren’t too many newer albums, simply because it’s just too hard to say for most whether they’ll really stand the test of time. I realize this will put some younger fans at a big, potentially shame-inducing disadvantage, so I’ll make y’all a bargain just for this week: if it looks like you’re going to get less than 8, you may cheat and look some up until you hit 8. But no more than that! Honor system!
I’ll be posting the answers and revealing your comments tomorrow at 9:30 EST, so be sure to check back!
And now:
For each blurb, you must name both the artist and the album title to receive a full point.
1. A pivotal album by a country-folk-rock band that actually functions more like an explosive meeting of too many famous country/bluegrass players to count, among them Roy Acuff, Doc Watson and Mother Maybelle Carter. Features wonderfully folksy covers of standards as well as some memorable dialogue throughout. Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Will The Circle Be Unbroken, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (and company). If you’ve come to country music through the mainstream route and are curious what all this ‘traditional’ fuss is about, this is an amazing place to start learning. At first it’s liable to sound old-fashioned, but see if the material doesn’t grow on you with repeated listens. If it does, you’s in the club.
2. Probably history’s most famous and well-regarded venture into country by an artist from another genre. It features covers of standards like “You Don’t Know Me” as well as the countrypolitan smash “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” Decade: 1960′s.
ANSWER: Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, by Ray Charles. This is a fascinating listen all the way through, not to mention a good example of how crossover can be done with taste and respect even as an artist brings his or her own style to the table. It is sadly unavailable in CD form now and I don’t know what the plans are (if any) for re-releasing it. But remember this name; I’m sure a deluxe reissue or something can’t be that far down the pike.
3. The album that catapulted the genre’s biggest-selling star ever into his/her biggest-selling trajectory. Features “Friends In Low Places,” “Unanswered Prayers,” “The Thunder Rolls” – please don’t miss this question. Decade: 1990′s.
ANSWER: No Fences, by Garth Brooks. Do I think it’s important to know every set Garth ever released? No, and that’s why you’ll never hear me ask about Fresh Horses. But this one is arguably a cornerstone in the genre’s history, and I just tend to think any record that manages to sell upwards of 10 million copies is probably worth knowing whether you like the thing or not.
4. The debut effort by one of the genre’s most poetic songwriters, it features the original recordings of iconic hits like “Me and Bobby McGee,” and “Help Me Make it Through the Night.” Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Kristofferson, by Kris Kristofferson. This one was later re-released as Me and Bobby McGee, so that’s an acceptable answer, too. This is country music for adults, straight up and unapologetic.
5. One of the most famous live albums in the genre’s history, and no, it’s not Folsom Prison. Features kickin’ renditions of signature hits like “I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail” and “Act Naturally.” Decade: 1960′s.
ANSWER: The Carnegie Hall Concert, by Buck Owens. Hits compilations do the trick alright, but this is probably the best place to hear just what was so appealing about Owens’ jangly Bakersfield sound and overall persona.
6. Probably the most historically smiled-upon album of this legendary artist’s career. The autobiographical title track about growing up in poverty has become an acknowledged classic, but the album is also notable for highlights like “Traveling Man” and “My Blue Tears.” Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Coat of Many Colors, by Dolly Parton. There aren’t a whole lot of albums by Parton (that I’ve heard; can’t say I’ve exhausted them all) that really grab me track after track, but this is one of them. Essential listening for sure.
7. The album they say got the neo-traditionalist ball rolling. “On the Other Hand,” “1982,” and “Diggin’ Up Bones” are all among the singles picked from it. Decade: 1980′s.
ANSWER: Storms of Life, by Randy Travis. Notable as much for the fact that it headlined a resurgence of traditional sounds and song structures as for the fact that it’s an excellent album through and through, not to mention a crazy-impressive debut.
8. A saucily-titled tribute album to the pioneer of Western Swing by a country music legend who idolized him as a kid. Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player In the World: Or, My Salute to Bob Wills, by Merle Haggard. I’m just gonna take a cue from Kevin here and let Paul W. Dennis do the talking: “A Tribute to the Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World is a Bob Wills salute that single-handedly launched the Western Swing revival that persists to this day. Don’t believe me? Ask Ray Benson, Commander Cody or George Strait.”
9. Considered the country debut of one of the genre’s foremost musical bridge-builders, it features songs written by everyone from the Louvin Brothers (“If I Could Only Win Your Love”) to Merle Haggard (“The Bottle Let Me Down”) to the Beatles (“For No One”). Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Pieces of the Sky, by Emmylou Harris. She had already done some folky album I haven’t heard prior to this one, but her friendship with Gram Parsons brought her around to the country side of the table, and she brought a brilliant song sense and that always-expressive voice with her. Good news for country music, this ‘un.
10. A somewhat backwards collection of gospel songs that find its artists reflecting on the consequences of sin and the threats posed by the world’s darker forces. It is best-remembered nowadays for its silly album cover, although some real jewels lie beneath. Decade: 1960′s.
ANSWER: Satan is Real, by the Louvin Brothers. I guess I don’t have too many comments on this one beyond what I wrote in the blurb. It sounds more than a little kitschy in spots today, but the earnestness with which it’s all carried out makes that aging seem a bit more forgivable, and there are also some great, really unique gospel tunes here.
11. Arguably the best single representation of this legendary Texas songwriter’s talents and legacy, it’s a double-live album at a famous Houston club featuring just him, his guitar and classic songs like “Pancho and Lefty” and “If I Needed You” before they were made famous. Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas, by Townes Van Zandt. This is on the fast-track to becoming one of my favorite albums of all time. Unless you already know you don’t care much for Townes, find some way to listen to this.
.
12. A gorgeous salute to traditional country from one of its modern spirit-keepers, headlined by the candid “I May Hate Myself in the Morning.” Decade: 2000′s.
ANSWER: There’s More Where That Came From, by Lee Ann Womack. Not because it’s ostensibly “retro,” but because it’s just solid track after track, all the way through. She’s developed quite an interesting catalogue at this point.
.
13. One of this legend’s finest cohesive moments, it features “Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way,” “The Door is Always Open,” and the simply astounding title track, which has been covered by Jamey Johnson and Patty Loveless in recent years. Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Dreaming My Dreams, by Waylon Jennings. Jennings is one of my all-time favorites, so I’d honestly rather tell everyone to go order the Nashville Rebel box set than recommend him by individual albums. Evem so, you can’t go wrong with this critically-acclaimed set.
14. This one always makes the shortlist of “best country albums ever,” and no wonder: it’s a striking (and weird) concept album by one of the genre’s most prolific and well-regarded singer-songwriters ever. The album’s title has become the artist’s nickname, even. Decade: 1970′s.
ANSWER: Red Headed Stranger, by Willie Nelson. A country music classic if there ever was one.
.
.
15. This artist was a bluegrass star for years before this half-compilation-half-new-stuff set came out, immediately made him/her a CMA favorite, and effectively began his/her ascent into a transcendent modern musical icon appreciated even by fans of completely different genres of music. Decade: 1990′s.
ANSWER: Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection, by Alison Krauss. Krauss is a bit of an anamoly in that she doesn’t always make wholly memorable studio albums but is nonetheless good at finding stellar individual songs and spinning collaborations with other artists into gold. Here she includes some of both, plus pretty much every essential album cut from her previous releases. Easily the best way to become acquainted with her early period as an artist, unless you’re a completist.
16. I always like to include one alt-country question, and this is today’s. This album marked the artistic high point of a definitive alt-country band’s catalogue and is now considered one of the classics of the sub-genre. It was this group’s major-label debut and final work. Hint: some of the members went on to form the group Wilco shortly after. Decade: 1990′s.
ANSWER: Anodyne, by Uncle Tupelo. No Depression may be the namesake of a way-cool magazine, but it’s Anodyne that finds Uncle Tupelo at their strongest and most creative. Country and rootsy rock ‘n’ roll have rarely been this beautifully melded together – it feels so organic that you can hardly find a good genre label for it.

#1 is “Will The Circle Be Unbroken by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
I don’t think I read #3, I probably would have gotten it then. xD
I’ll definitely have to study for next week… Thankfully I’m very good with most female artists.
im so upset that i missed this week’s quiz!! even though I probably would’ve sucked, I still wanted to give it a try! Oh well, there’s always next week!
I just reread #16 and I am such an idiot. I’m going to have to adjust my tunnel vision to a wider scope.
I’m surprised I (kinda) got some of them right…well, the artists, for the most part. I knew “Fresh Fences” was wrong lol. I refused to look mine up, and just guess, and I did ok. I just need to work on memorizing the titles.
I can’t believe I got all of the ones I was knew correctly. I do have to admit that I had to stew on some of the album titles for a while and on a few I had to sneak a peak to look at my music collection. (hope that wasn’t cheating)
