    Mark Muller und Jasmine King, zwei wichtige Podcaster aus dem Zentrum des Alternative Country, Saint Lous, Missouri, haben die erst 2023 gegründete Wiener Band »SALZAMT« entdeckt. Und dabei ist ihre Liebe zu »VIENAMERICANA« aufgeflammt. Das ist der Fusion-Stil, den Salzamt, die Band aus Wien spielt. Vienamericana wurde von den SALZAMT-Musikern aber schon früher entwickelt. Alles begann schon in den Neunzehnneunzigern, als sie (vier von fünf) gemeinsam (und mit dem Pianisten Michael) die Band SLOW BUDGET waren, damals »EINE MACHT IN WIEN« (Wie es eine Mitarbeiterin des Rock-Haus auszudrücken pflegte).

    Der Podcast »blues (dot) wien« bringt neue und alte Songs der Bands, die aus SLOW BUDGET hervorgegangen sind (oder sonst in einer persönlichen und lebendigen Verbindung zu SLOW BUDGET gestanden sind), wie zum Beispiel MEZZANIN, COPYRIGHT SHAKALAKA, ECHTE GEFÜHLE oder BLUESWERK. Und, natürlich, SLOW BUDGET Songs.

  • Leonard Albert Kravitz, known professionally as Lenny Kravitz, was born on May 26, 1964, in New York City. The only child of actress Roxie Roker, famous for her role in the sitcom "The Jeffersons," and television news producer Sy Kravitz, Lenny grew up in a world surrounded by creativity and the entertainment industry. His upbringing would lay the foundation for his future as a multi-talented musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor.
    From an early age, Kravitz showed a keen interest in music. He began playing the drums and guitar at the age of three, and by the time he was five, he had already decided that he wanted to pursue a career in music. As a child, Kravitz was exposed to a wide range of musical genres, from jazz and soul to rock and roll, which would later influence his own unique style.
    Kravitz's parents encouraged his musical talents, and he began performing in the California Boys Choir and the Metropolitan Opera. However, his childhood was not without its challenges. His parents divorced when he was young, and he spent time living with both his mother in Los Angeles and his father in New York City. Despite the difficulties, Kravitz remained focused on his passion for music.
    In 1974, Kravitz's mother remarried, and the family moved to Los Angeles. It was there that Kravitz began to explore his musical interests further. He attended Beverly Hills High School, where he was a member of the school's music program and formed his first band, which performed at local clubs and events.
    After graduating from high school in 1982, Kravitz decided to pursue music full-time. He moved back to New York City and began working on his songwriting and performing skills. He adopted the stage name "Romeo Blue" and began collaborating with other musicians in the city's vibrant music scene.
    In 1985, Kravitz signed his first record deal with I.R.S. Records. However, the label wanted him to record songs that were more in line with the popular music of the time, which didn't align with Kravitz's artistic vision. Frustrated with the lack of creative control, Kravitz left the label and returned to performing in clubs and working odd jobs to make ends meet.
    Kravitz's big break came in 1988 when he met recording engineer Henry Hirsch. Hirsch was impressed with Kravitz's unique sound and offered to help him record his first album. The two began working together in Hirsch's studio, with Kravitz playing all the instruments himself and Hirsch engineering and producing the record.
    The resulting album, "Let Love Rule," was released in 1989 and was a critical and commercial success. The title track became a hit single, and the album showcased Kravitz's eclectic mix of rock, soul, and funk influences. Kravitz's retro style and his ability to blend different genres set him apart from other artists of the time and earned him a dedicated fan base.
    Following the success of "Let Love Rule," Kravitz embarked on a world tour and began work on his second album, "Mama Said." Released in 1991, the album featured the hit singles "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" and "Always on the Run," a collaboration with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. "Mama Said" further established Kravitz as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry and earned him his first Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
    Throughout the 1990s, Kravitz continued to release successful albums, including "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (1993), "Circus" (1995), and "5" (1998). Each album showcased Kravitz's growth as an artist and his willingness to experiment with different styles and sounds. He collaborated with a wide range of artists, from Madonna and Mick Jagger to Jay-Z and P. Diddy, and his music was featured in numerous films and television shows.
    In addition to his music career, Kravitz also began to explore acting. He made his film debut in 1998 with a small role in the movie "The Hunger," and went on to appear in films such as "Precious" (2009), "The Butler" (2013), and the "Hunger Games" franchise (2012-2015). Kravitz's acting career showcased his versatility as an artist and helped to introduce him to a new audience.
    In the 2000s, Kravitz continued to release music and tour extensively. Albums like "Lenny" (2001), "Baptism" (2004), and "It's Time for a Love Revolution" (2008) showcased his evolving sound and his commitment to social and political activism. Kravitz used his platform to raise awareness about issues such as environmentalism, human rights, and AIDS research, and he performed at numerous benefit concerts and events.
    Despite his success, Kravitz has also faced his share of personal struggles. In 1993, he married actress Lisa Bonet, with whom he had a daughter, Zoë. However, the couple divorced in 1993, and Kravitz has spoken openly about the challenges of balancing his career and personal life. He has also been open about his struggles with depression and addiction, and has credited music with helping him to overcome these challenges.
    Throughout his career, Kravitz has been recognized for his contributions to music and popular culture. He has won four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, and has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. In 2011, he was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, and in 2014, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
    In recent years, Kravitz has continued to tour and release new music. His eleventh studio album, "Raise Vibration," was released in 2018 and featured the single "Low," which became a viral hit on social media. Kravitz has also continued to collaborate with other artists, including Janelle Monáe and Michael Jackson, and has been involved in various philanthropic efforts.
    Looking back on his career, it's clear that Lenny Kravitz has had a profound impact on popular music and culture. His unique blend of rock, soul, and funk has inspired countless artists, and his commitment to social and political activism has helped to raise awareness about important issues. Despite the challenges he has faced, Kravitz has remained a vital and relevant artist for over three decades and shows no signs of slowing down.
    In a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, Kravitz reflected on his legacy and his approach to music. "I've always been about the music," he said. "I've never been about trying to fit in or be a part of any scene. I've always just done my own thing and followed my own path. I think that's why I've been able to have such a long career. I'm not trying to chase trends or be something I'm not. I'm just being myself and making the music that I love."
    As he looks to the future, Kravitz remains committed to his art and his activism. He continues to tour and release new music, and is involved in various charitable efforts, including his own foundation, Let Love Rule, which supports education and arts programs for underprivileged youth. He also remains a role model for aspiring musicians and artists, showing that it's possible to achieve success on one's own terms and to use one's platform for good.
    In conclusion, Lenny Kravitz is a true icon of popular music and culture. His unique blend of rock, soul, and funk has inspired countless artists, and his commitment to social and political activism has helped to raise awareness about important issues. Despite the challenges he has faced, Kravitz has remained a vital and relevant artist for over three decades and shows no signs of slowing down. As he continues to create and inspire, his legacy as one of the most important musicians of his generation only grows stronger. Thanks for listening to Quiet Please.

  • Kris Kristofferson: A Comprehensive Look at His Life and Legacy (1936-2024) Kris Kristofferson, the acclaimed singer-songwriter who became a symbol of Nashville's outlaw country music scene and later found success as an actor, has passed away at his home in Maui, Hawaii. He was 87 years old. Early Life and Education Kristoffer Kristofferson was born on June 22, 1936, in Brownsville, Texas. His father, Lars Henry Kristofferson, was an Air Force major general who pushed his son toward a military career. His mother, Mary Ann (Ashbrook) Kristofferson, encouraged his creative pursuits. Kristofferson's family moved frequently due to his father's military career, living in various places including California and Hawaii. Kristofferson excelled academically and athletically at San Mateo High School in California, where he was class president and a successful sports player. He continued this success at Pomona College in California, graduating summa cum laude in literature in 1958. At Pomona, he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and was recognized for his achievements in rugby, football, and track and field. His academic prowess earned him a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, where he studied at Merton College. At Oxford, Kristofferson continued to balance academics with athletics, playing rugby and boxing. He earned a master's degree in English literature, focusing on the poetry of William Blake for his thesis. Military Service and Early Songwriting Despite his academic achievements and the offer of a position teaching English literature at West Point, Kristofferson joined the Army in 1960. He completed Ranger School and became a helicopter pilot, eventually achieving the rank of captain. He was stationed in West Germany for much of his military career, where he formed a band called The Losers. During his military service, Kristofferson began writing songs in earnest, drawn to the storytelling power of country music. He was inspired by songwriters like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, whose music he admired for its raw emotional honesty. In 1965, Kristofferson made the bold decision to pursue a career in music, turning down an assignment to teach English literature at West Point. This decision strained his relationship with his parents and ended his first marriage to his high school sweetheart, Fran Beer, with whom he had two children. Nashville and Rise to Fame Kristofferson moved to Nashville in 1965, determined to make it in the music industry. He took a variety of odd jobs to support himself, including working as a janitor at Columbia Records, flying helicopter tours of the Grand Ole Opry, and working as a bartender. Despite the struggles, he continued to write songs and pitch them to established artists. It was during this time that he penned some of his most iconic works. "Me and Bobby McGee," inspired by Federico Fellini's film "La Strada," would later become a hit for Janis Joplin. "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" were other standout compositions from this period. His breakthrough came when Johnny Cash performed "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down" on his television show in 1970. The song, with its vivid portrayal of a hangover and loneliness, became a number one hit and won the Country Music Association's Song of the Year award. This success finally established Kristofferson as a songwriter to be reckoned with in Nashville. Kristofferson's own recording career took off with his 1970 album "Kristofferson." While his gravelly voice was unconventional by Nashville standards, his poetic, introspective lyrics set him apart from the mainstream. This album included many of his now-classic songs, introducing audiences to Kristofferson as a performer in his own right. Outlaw Country Movement Kristofferson's success aligned him with the emerging outlaw country movement, alongside artists like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash. This movement was characterized by its rejection of the slick, commercial sound that dominated Nashville in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Instead, these artists favored a rougher, more authentic sound and image. His 1971 album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I" further cemented his status in this movement. The album's title track, along with songs like "Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)," showcased Kristofferson's talent for blending poetic lyrics with country and rock influences. Success in Hollywood As his music career flourished, Kristofferson began to explore acting. He made his film debut in Dennis Hopper's "The Last Movie" (1971), beginning a successful parallel career in Hollywood. His rugged good looks and natural charisma made him a popular leading man throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Kristofferson gained widespread recognition for his role opposite Barbra Streisand in "A Star Is Born" (1976). His portrayal of John Norman Howard, a self-destructive rock star, earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor. This performance showcased his ability to bring depth and vulnerability to his roles. Other notable films in his career include Martin Scorsese's "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (1974), where he played an enigmatic rancher, and Sam Peckinpah's convoy film "Convoy" (1978). He also starred in Michael Cimino's controversial western epic "Heaven's Gate" (1980), which, despite its initial commercial failure, has since been reevaluated by critics. Kristofferson continued to act in later years, showing his versatility with roles in the "Blade" trilogy as Blade's mentor Abraham Whistler, and in James Ivory's "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries" (1998). His acting career spanned over five decades, with his last major role being in the 2018 film "Blaze," a biopic about country musician Blaze Foley. Musical Legacy Throughout his career, Kristofferson released numerous albums that showcased his evolving musical style. Albums like "Border Lord" (1972), "Jesus Was a Capricorn" (1972), and "Spooky Lady's Sideshow" (1974) demonstrated his willingness to experiment with different sounds and themes. In the 1980s, Kristofferson joined forces with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson to form the supergroup The Highwaymen. The group released three albums: "Highwayman" (1985), "Highwayman 2" (1990), and "The Road Goes On Forever" (1995). Their collaboration produced hit songs like "Highwayman" and "Desperados Waiting for a Train," and they toured extensively throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Kristofferson's songs have been recorded by hundreds of artists across multiple genres, testament to the universal appeal of his songwriting. "Me and Bobby McGee," most famously recorded by Janis Joplin, became a countercultural anthem and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1971. "Help Me Make It Through the Night" earned a Grammy for Best Country Song in 1971 when it was recorded by Sammi Smith. His contributions to music have been widely recognized. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985, acknowledging his profound impact on the craft of songwriting. In 2004, he received another high honor when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Personal Life and Later Years Kristofferson's personal life was as colorful as his professional one. He was married three times: to Fran Beer (1961-1969), with whom he had two children; to Rita Coolidge (1973-1980), with whom he had one child; and to Lisa Meyers, whom he married in 1983 and with whom he had five children. Kristofferson has eight children in total. His relationship and musical partnership with Rita Coolidge was particularly notable. The duo released full-length albums together and earned multiple Grammy nominations for their collaborations. In his later years, Kristofferson continued to tour and record, releasing his final studio album, "The Cedar Creek Sessions," in 2016. The album, recorded when Kristofferson was 79, featured stripped-down versions of some of his classic songs, showcasing the enduring power of his songwriting. Kristofferson was open about his struggles with memory loss in his later years. He and his family initially feared it was due to Alzheimer's disease, but it was later diagnosed as Lyme disease. Despite these health challenges, Kristofferson continued to perform when he was able. Legacy and Impact Kris Kristofferson's influence on American music and culture is significant and far-reaching. As a songwriter, he brought a poet's sensibility to country music, expanding the genre's emotional and intellectual range. His songs, with their raw honesty and vivid imagery, spoke to the human experience in a way that resonated across generations and musical boundaries. Kristofferson's success also paved the way for other songwriters to step into the spotlight as performers in their own right. He demonstrated that a songwriter could successfully transition to being a recording artist and actor, opening doors for many who followed. In film, Kristofferson's natural, unaffected style of acting brought a new authenticity to Hollywood portrayals of modern American men. His rugged charm and depth made him equally convincing as a romantic lead or a world-weary drifter. Throughout his career, Kristofferson used his platform to advocate for social and political causes. He was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and supported various humanitarian efforts, including farm aid and environmental causes. His commitment to social justice was a constant thread throughout his life and work. Kristofferson's journey from scholar to soldier, from Nashville songwriter to Hollywood actor, embodied a uniquely American story of reinvention and perseverance. His ability to bridge the worlds of literature, music, and film made him a true cultural icon. He received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. In 2019, he was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the CMA Awards, recognizing his end
