The podcast series, Jazz Backstory, is based on the holdings of the Fillius Jazz Archive (https://www.hamilton.edu/campuslife/arts-at-hamilton/jazzarchive) located at Hamilton College (https://www.hamilton.edu/), in Clinton, New York. Established in 1995, and dedicated in 2013 in honor of Milton F. Fillius, Jr. ’44 and Nelma “Nikki” Nenneau Fillius, the Fillius Jazz Archive holds a collection of over 500 videotaped interviews with jazz musicians, arrangers, writers and producers. The wide-ranging collection includes interviews with sidemen, soloists and band leaders who have performed from the 1920s through the present. Jazz Backstory podcast episodes will feature interview excerpts focused on topics inherent to the creative life. Artists, both famous and unsung, relate these tales in their own jazz inflected vocabulary. Original music and commentary from the host help set the tone, both educational and swinging. Monk Rowe (https://www.monkrowe.com/), creator of the podcast series, Jazz Backstory, and the Joe Williams Director of the Fillius Jazz Archive, conducted the majority of the interviews and has presented programs about the resource at conferences for the Jazz Education Network, the Music Library Association, and the International Society of Music Educators. Monk co-authored with Romy Britell the book Jazz Tales From Jazz Legends on Hamilton’s Couper Press and created the edX online course, “Jazz: The Music, The Stories, The Players” in collaboration with members of the Library and Instructional Technology Services at Hamilton College. He is an active performer on saxophone and piano and has composed numerous works for both jazz and classical ensembles.

Welcome to Whack or Slaps, where we look back into the annals of 2000s indie music to determine if an album, or band, or even entire musical movement was actually good or just a product of the hype machine of its time.
Like all great podcasts this is a direct spinoff of an unhinged and sketchy group text, that simply refuses to die. -
Willie Nelson: Gypsy Songman
Arguably the most recognizable figure in country music history with his iconic long braids tucked under a bandana, Willie Nelson unites generations of listeners with heartfelt songs and a wandering spirit that epitomizes creative freedom. Known for over 200 albums showcasing nuanced storytelling about everyday struggles and simple joys, Nelson’s prolific six-decade career helped expand country music’s commercial appeal through pop crossover while upholding its outsider outlaw roots. Alongside fellow Texas mavericks Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, Nelson catalyzed the progressive “outlaw country” subgenre in the 1970s by boldly bucking Nashville’s conservative establishment to pioneer a gutsy, unconventional sound melding folk, rock and blues attitude with country tradition. Beyond chart success decorated by 13 Grammys and countless country music awards, Nelson’s enduring artistic relevance connects to songcraft honoring the overlooked underdog coupled with an authentic renegade persona matching the grit of his resonant vocal delivery.
Small town dreams
Born in rural Abbott, Texas on April 29, 1933, Nelson grew up in a musical family amid the Dust Bowl poverty of the Great Depression. His grandfather taught him guitar basics as a young boy while his sister Bobbie, later his pianist in his famed backing band Family, also displayed natural musical talent. After the tragic early deaths of both parents, Nelson left behind short-lived stints as an Air Force serviceman and farmer to pursue songwriting and performing. Influenced by honky-tonk innovators like Hank Williams blending bluesy emotion with country roots as well as iconoclast beatnik poets, Nelson moved to Nashville in 1960 hoping to sell his distinct songs despite lacking traditional vocals that dominated the slick pop-country polished Nashville sound emerging.
Nelson’s early years in Nashville proved frustrating as an outsider to the lucrative country music industrial machine churning out radio-friendly hits. Despite composing early classic songs like “Crazy” which became Patsy Cline’s career-defining track plus hundreds more hits recorded by stars like Faron Young and Roy Orbison, Nelson himself struggled with a string of label deals producing underwhelming solo records. However, his refusal to compromise his artistic vision and experiment beyond narrow commercial molds earned respect from fellow musicians like Johnny Cash. Playing bass in Cash’s touring band, Nelson also appeared on historic live albums cementing Cash's outlaw status.
The outlaw takes renegade flight
Frustrated after lackluster RCA releases, Nelson relocated to Austin, Texas in 1972 seeking more creative freedom among the burgeoning cosmic cowboy and hippie music scene. Paired with rock pioneer Doug Sahm, jazz greats like Django Reinhardt, new friend Waylon Jennings and soon-to-be-wife Connie Koepke, Nelson recorded watershed albums “Shotgun Willie” and “Phases and Stages” fusing country instrumentation with amplified fuzzy guitars and unfiltered lyrics. When singles like “Bloody Mary Morning” and the unflinching “Woman I Hate To See You Cry” shot up the charts, Nelson had cracked commercial success on his own terms without pop overproduction. Signed to Columbia Records and given unprecedented creative control, Nelson soon unleashed signature staples “Red Headed Stranger” and “Wanted! The Outlaws” featuring fellow trailblazers Tompall Glaser, Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. These mid-70s albums minted Nelson’s iconic cosmic cowboy gypsy image while codifying that amplifying country music’s artistic potential meant relinquishing rules. Nelson and the outlaw movement sang tales of brokenness, vulnerability and existential wandering matched by their independent-minded integrity resisting external creative direction.
Mainstream success and activism
As the 1970s progressed, Nelson racked up No. 1 hits like “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”, “If You Got the Money I Got the Time” and “Georgia on My Mind” establishing him firmly at the forefront of country music stardom. His 1978 album “Stardust” produced popular crossover renditions of American Songbook standards further expanding Nelson's genre-defying appeal to larger pop audiences. Yet his mushrooming fame and fortune fueled by blockbuster 80s collaborations with peers like Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson and emerging stars like Julio Iglesias and rap icon Snoop Dogg only emboldened Nelson’s progressive politics championing family farmers and opposing nuclear power alongside marijuana legalization. He co-founded the watchdog group Farm Aid alongside Neil Young and John Mellencamp to combat corporate agriculture’s threats against small farms while lending his iconic voice to multiple AIDS research benefits during the unfolding epidemic’s direst years. Battling and defeating still more record executives aiming to replicate cookie-cutter pop aesthetics rather than Nelson’s hippie experimentalism kept his outlaw integrity sharply intact even while scoring multiple soundtrack inclusions in Hollywood films like The Electric Horseman and Songwriter.
Elder Statesman Bridge-Builder
As the 21st century unfolded, Nelson continued releasing contemplative albums showcasing world-weary wisdom of age like 2017’s God’s Problem Child while touring tirelessly 200 days per year. Respected as country royalty and American treasure as much for fierce independence as songwriting, Nelson attracted collaborations across generations and genres. Joint albums with bohemian collective Family Band, pop-country sensation Shania Twain, jazz pianist Wynton Marsalis, rap stalwart Snoop Dogg and younger folk rockers like Lukas Nelson and Shooter Jennings reinforced Nelson’s singular songcraft succeeded by boundary-crossing openness. Following health scares and the death of a long-time friend and collaborator Merle Haggard in 2016, Nelson’s songs addressed aging, loss and the meaning of a life well-lived with arresting yet subtle profundity.
In 2021 Nelson released what he claims was his final studio album, The Willie Nelson Family, bringing his career full circle by playing alongside sister Bobbie and the now second-generation group of Family Band backing musicians. Featuring wistful new compositions plus classics like “Family Bible”, Nelson’s plaintive signature vocals radiate undiminished emotional conviction that first disrupted Nashville over 50 years prior with radically vulnerable poetry mirroring outlaw lives lived at odds with convention. Pensive songs like “Heaven is Closed” and “Live Every Day” meditate on making the most of remaining time with equal parts urgency and zen acceptance. Now approaching 90 but without hints of slowing prolific output, Willie Nelson’s six-decade career distills and epitomizes themes characterizing great country music - intense honesty illuminating shared human experiences of heartache and ephemeral preciousness of life counterbalanced by mild irreverent humor about our stumbling folly. Through songcraft honoring outcasts and outsiders with tenderness and wry camaraderie devoid of judgment in his trademark gritty yet soothing voice of wisdom, Willie Nelson expanded country’s landscape while cementing its soul.
