A talented and showy violinist, Charlie Daniels and his band flux hard-core country with a hard-edged Southern rock boogie and vapours. The group -- which has had a rotating be sick of musicians over the years -- has always been known for their instrumental dexterity, only they were as well notorious for their down-home, good ol' boy attitude; in the early '80s, they became a practical symbol of conservative land values. Daniels and his band experienced the pinnacle of their popularity at the oddment of the '70s and early '80s, simply they remained a popular concert magnet well into the '90s.


Daniels was innate and brocaded in North Carolina, playing diddle and guitar in several bands during his teen years. At the age of 21, he distinct become a professional musician, aggregation an instrumental rock & twine combo called the Jaguars. The grouping landed a recording session for Epic Records in 1959 with Bob Johnson, wHO would subsequently become Columbia Records' in the lead phratry and land producer. The record didn't pick up much attention, but the dance orchestra continued to play and Daniels continued to publish songs. One of his originals, "It Hurts Me," was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1963. By the late '60s, it had become clear that the Jaguars weren't leaving to impinge on the big time, so Johnson recommended to Daniels that he make a motion to Nashville to suit a session musician. Daniels followed the advice and became one of the most democratic fiddlers in Nashville. He played on several Bob Dylan albums -- Capital of Tennessee Skyline, Self Portrait, New Morning, and Dylan -- as well as Ringo Starr's 1970 record Beaucoups of Blues. He besides became theatrical role of Leonard Cohen's touring band in the late '60s and produced the Youngbloods' Elephant Mountain album about the same time.


Daniels cut an record album for Capitol Records in the early '70s that was ignored. In 1972, he formed the Charlie Daniels Band, using the Southern rock of the Allman Brothers as a blueprint. The band comprised Daniels (tether guitar, vocals, tinker), lead guitar player Don Murray, bassist Charlie Hayward, drummer James W. Marshall, and keyboardist Joe DiGregorio. The chemical formula worked, and in 1973 they had a minor hit with "Uneasy Rider," which was released on Kama Sutra Records. In 1974, they released Fire on the Mountain, which became a gold record inside months of its release; the album would eventually go pt. Its replacement, 1975's Night rider, did even better, thanks to the Top 40 land impinge on "Lone-Star State." Saddle Tramp, released in 1976, became his first nation Top Ten album, going away au.


Throughout the mid-'70s, the Charlie Daniels Band chased a Southern rock direction. They were moderately successful, simply they never had a breakthrough hit either on the pop or body politic charts. By the late '70s, Daniels perceived that the hearing for Southern rock was evaporating, so he refashioned the stria as a more aboveboard country dance orchestra. The change paid off in 1979 when the single "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" became a act one hit, crossing over into the pop charts, where it strike issue three. The song was named the Country Music Association's Single of the Year and helped its concomitant album, Jillion Mile Reflections, suit a multi-platinum success.


Daniels wasn't able to accompany "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" with some other blockbuster undivided on the country charts, ironically, merely he had several rock crosswalk successes in the years undermentioned the success of Trillion Mile Reflections: Wide-cut Moon (1980) went pt and Windows (1982) went gold. Although he continued to sell respectably throughout the '80s, he didn't have a big hit until 1989's Simple Man, which went au. In the '90s, his records failed to chart advantageously, although he remained a democratic concert disembowel, a drift that continued through the early long time of the 21st century. In 2007 Daniels released Live from Iraq, followed later in the twelvemonth by Deuces.





Paulina Rubio - Rubio Forced To Sit Down With Snapper She Beat Up

BIG BROTHER: Mario's Ego Moves In

A new housemate moved in over the weekend – Mario’s ego!
He seems to think he is better than all the other housemate and his opinion is the only one that is right. On Saturday night the housemates were provided with the opportunity to learn a musical instrument for a ‘fun’ task where they had to play ‘when the saints come marching in.’
Even though the housemates voted Darnel the most musical and was therefore in charge of conducting the BB orchestra, Mario decided he knew better, asserting, “at the end of the day I’m a facilitator – I am the manager of people.”

Then there's the patronizing way he speaks to Mickey. He announced to everyone else, “I think Mickey should have first pick”before giving him the triangle because that is the “easiest.” Mickey just looked embarrassed by this public declaration of his disability yet again.

Mickey later went into the diary room and said he wished he had stood up for himself as he was told the instrument he wanted to play was “totally beyond a blind person.”

Mario mentioned several times over the weekend about his “fan club” which is, apparently, why Stephanie went instead of him on Friday. He even stated at one point that Ant and Dec “better have voted” – what? He is literally in a world of his own.
It seems that even Lisa is merely just a ‘trophy’ to stroke his ego, saying to the other housemates "you should listen to Mario – he knows what he is talking about" and "Mario is well liked outside." You do have to wonder if he is so well known outside the house, why he went on Big Brother in the first place.

Legendary singer returns to stage after 15-year absence from limelight

TORONTO - After a series of "rehearsal shows" in eastern Canada, legendary singer/poet Leonard Cohen is officially kicking off his world tour in Toronto.

The reclusive artist, who was ordained a Buddhist monk during his 15-year absence from the limelight, took the stage Friday night, getting waves of applause from roughly 3,200 fans who filled the Sony Centre.

The Canadian icon opened with a brief offer of thanks before launching into his 1984 serenade, "Dance Me To The End Of Love," clutching a mic with two hands and filling it with his rich baritone.

Although the Toronto show is being dubbed his official return to the stage, Cohen has been performing since May, warming up his vocals at smaller venues throughout eastern Canada.

The 73-year-old Montreal native has three more shows set for Toronto.

He'll then head to Ireland, Britain and Europe to complete a three-month tour that will have him perform 42 soldout shows in 14 countries.

Cohen's much-publicized financial problems are said to be behind his return to the concert circuit.

Other appearances in Canada include three shows in Montreal later this month, where Cohen will be honoured with a tribute at the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Narnia film-maker keeps promise to wife

Narnia film-maker Andrew Adamson is keeping a promise to his wife and returning to live in Auckland.

Over the past seven years Adamson, 41, has chalked up one of the greatest box-office batting averages of any director in Hollywood - beating even Steven Spielberg.

Now he is handing over the third movie in Disney's Narnia franchise, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to veteran filmmaker Michael Apted, known for Coal Miner's Daughter and Gorillas in the Mist.

Adamson years ago promised his wife that they come home to Auckland, where he was born, when their eldest daughter reached school age, the Globe and Mail newspaper reported.

Isabel turns 5 next month.

So in a few weeks - after Adamson has finished his publicity responsibilities on Caspian, his second Narnia film, and the couple and their daughters Isabel and Sylvie have spent some time in Tuscany winding down - they will move home.

And back in Auckland, Adamson says he will begin the process of unhooking his brain from the Hollywood machine.

"I may never work again," laughs Adamson, sitting on a high floor in a hotel suite overlooking New York.

His feature debut, which he co-directed, was an unassuming animated film known as Shrek, which pulled in a relatively measly $US484 million ($NZ642 million) around the world.

He followed that by co-directing Shrek 2 ($US920 million) and then single-handedly helming the live-action triumph The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ($US745 million).

And most recently, he premiered in New York the first Narnia sequel, Prince Caspian.

In Prince Caspian, the four Pevensie children from the first Narnia adventure find themselves once again plucked out of wartime England and parachuted into an enchanted world of lush landscapes and talking animals.

But though the children have only been away from Narnia for one year of their lives, they return to the kingdom at a point in time 1300 years after their departure.

In the interim, the Narnians have been hounded out of their homes and their land has been all but destroyed.

For Adamson, returning home ties in with his own childhood, when his parents and three siblings moved to Papua New Guinea.

He was 11 years old and his father's two-year university post turned into seven years.

"We all loved it," he said. "I had a very free upbringing. At 13 years old, I'd jump on my motorcycle and ride off into the bush."

But PNG has changed, which helped him grasp what a devastated Narnia would mean to the Pevensies.

"The high school I went to doesn't exist any more," he said. "Now there's curfews, political instability, other problems."

Prince Caspian opens with a thrilling sequence involving the attempted assassination of the title character, the young leader of the Telmarines, by his corrupt uncle, King Miraz, who has designs on the kingdom.

When Caspian escapes and is given shelter by the Narnians, Miraz incites a war that he hopes will finish them off, by falsely reporting that they have kidnapped Caspian.

"I think there's a lot of good stories in fear," said Adamson.

"Whether it's politically advantageous to create that sense of fear, wherever it's coming from, I've found there are places you can get away from it," he said, laughing.

Back in one of those places he will continue his contact with the Narnia franchise as a producer, but he'd really like to let go and work on something costing less than $US100 million.

"It's hard to be experimental when your days are costing so much. You can't afford to try things out and make mistakes," he said.

"I want a different kind of challenge. And I'd love to do something I could shoot in eight weeks as opposed to eight months."

He told New York Magazine:

"I've been overlapping films since the first Shrek. I've been telling my wife I've been going to take a year off since then.

But largely, I want to get back to that feeling of the day I first left high school and realised I didn't have any homework, and I just had a clear head".

And he recaptured some of this feeling when shooting a "gorgeous, primordial lake with waterfalls" in one Caspian scene, near Haast.

"That was my favorite day of shooting.

"I was operating one of the motors in our raft with my right hand and the radio control with the kids' boat to help them steer.

"And I was directing. It was like I was a student again, student filmmaking with just 20 of us making a film."

New Speculation About Newman's Health

Latest: Speculation about movie veteran Paul Newman's health has reached a new high following a the publication of a photograph of the gaunt star and fresh reports he's battling lung cancer. Tabloid reports earlier this year suggested the beloved star and humanitarian had just six months to live and was under hospital supervision, but the actor laughed off the rumours, insisting his medical crisis was nothing more than treatment of athlete's foot "and hair loss". But now a new Los Angeles Times article reports the 83-year-old has been diagnosed with "terminal lung cancer" at New York's Sloan-Kettering Center, where Newman is currently receiving outpatient treatment. The latest report comes just days after lifestyle queen Martha Stewart posted a recent photograph of herself and Newman on her website. In the shot, the actor appears frail and pale. Last month , the actor pulled out of plans to direct the stage production for Of Mice and Men at the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut. He has refused to comment on the latest reports about his failing health.

Although it's tantalizing to clod the Austin, Texas triplet Fastball (Miles Zuniga on guitar and vocals, Tony Scalzo on bass and vocals, and Joe Shuffield on drums) in with all the bands that sound similar to the Wallflowers, they're an exception. The triplet originally called themselves Magneto U.S.A. and became popular in the Texas region. After sign language with Hollywood Records, they changed their name to Fastball, and presently later released their 1996 debut Make Your Mama Proud. The album wasn't the immense breakthrough they hoped for, only showed they were a lot with potency. By the time their second album, All the Pain Money Can Buy, was released in early '98, the grouping had improved their sound by incorporating more than pop hooks into their songs, with more than varied (and life-threatening) topic topic and lyrics. The Harsh Light of Day arrived in fall 2000. After four-spot age, a c. H. Best of retrospective (2002's Painting the Corners: The Best of Fastball) and a label switching, Fastball returned with their strongest record to date, 2004's Keep Your Wig On, for Rykodisc.

The Back To Black star made her live return on Saturday (31May08) at the Rock in Rio event in Lisbon, Portugal - but got off to a bad start after keeping eager fans waiting over an hour to see the star.

And, once the singer made the stage, she further infuriated fans by admitting she "should have cancelled" her set at the gig - because she was suffering from flu-like symptoms.

However, Winehouse struggled through the set - eating throat lozenges and dropping her microphone twice.

The star apologised to fans for her illness, telling fans: "My voice is not singing right and I can't even hold the microphone. But I wanted to be here so much."

And the 24-year-old didn't miss the opportunity to laugh off claims she is heading for a divorce from incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil, telling the crowd he was "still the handsomest bloke you ever seen in your life".
