LOL

I had an aunt who dated Lou Reed. Crazy as it sounds he has been to my granny's house. lol.

Sounds like when my 5'8" dad used to tell me he could dunk a basketball in middle school and held the McMinn County track record for 2 decades.

I was like yeah sure dad Though he did have the calves of hercules, so maybe he did and maybe you've sniffed the musk of Lou Reed at your granny's house. I'll roll with such an amazing story.

How about the greatest Tennessee musicians?

Johnny Cash and B.B. King both moved here in their early-mid 20s, but not sure I'd consider them true Tennesseeans. The Allmans were basically the reverse, moved away in their 20s before beginning their career. Aretha Franklin was born here, but moved away as a child, so not sure I'd count her either.


Elvis and Dolly seem the clear #1 and #2. Justin Timberlake, Usher, and Tina Turner are up there as well as world renowned artists.

Then you have people like Miley Cyrus and Ke$ha...who I'm not sure we want to accept lol.

Kings of Leon and Kenny Chesney get honorable mentions, though not sure how well they're known by the world. And we can't forget Three Six Mafia . Sure I'm missing a few people.

Carl Perkins….

 

[Jackcrevol]

One of my favorite shows

one of my all time faves.

 

[engineerVOL]

Sturgeon supermoon tonight, morans.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I saw Almond Brothers play with Arrowsmith

Saw Dew Bee Brothers, in mid 80's. Then Mars She'll Tuckher at Grandfather Mtn back in the day. Not sure if Blues Traveller and Lenny Kravitz count, but Horde Festival was stout.

@Weezer sent you nudez?

Colton Jumper was my least favorite player to ever watch at UT. I know he was a freshman but every time Darren Kirkland played he looked miles better than jumper. Yet Butch still played the jumper.

And yet he was signed by the Saints

Nope. She's not the one who told me and I had no clue who Reed was when I was being told. lol.

I think you're overrating Elvis even though he was obviously great. He was able to get away with on-air what others couldn't because he was white and also because he came up at the right time. But you're just not gonna top James Brown performance wise whether you like his style or not.

Now mind you, I feel Elvis is underrated in many ways despite being overrated in others. And if we're telling the truth and overlooking the man's flaws, it's hard to beat Michael Jackson (and Prince who might just be the most overlooked guitar player ever).

But just listen to Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog:



Elvis (Hound Dog):


James Brown:



Elvis:



(Elvis even does the cape thingy that James Brown used to do tho not in this vid)

LeadBelly (sound reference):



Michael:

(also derivative of James Brown's movements but good lord his body control)



BB King + U2 (bc it's just where both shine best, imo)

Elvis is the most versatile vocalist I've ever heard, and I'm sick of the "derivative"

Elvis did what he loved and he grew up in that culture..the music he loved influenced him...big f'n deal.

 

[engineerVOL]

@Weezer sent you nudez?

Drats. Bamboozled again.

 

[NMVol]

Not that he should be on an all times great list or anything, but the week I got back from the Persian Gulf in 1981, I saw Iggy Pop play at a country and western bar out by the Memphis airport. He hit the stage in a wedding gown. Carlos Alomar was his guitarist. Same energy as the Gov't Mule show in Aspen on Feb. 14, 2011, at the Belly Up. That was a Sunday night. Some club shoes are just of another order.

Versatile? Waaaaaah. Elvis is many things but he had a set range and he was definitely derivative. Every artist is to some extent. Mercury and Axl Rose - that's vocal range. Elvis had a great sound but covered about 2 octaves.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Best concert I ever attended was John Fogerty circa 2012. A cold October night at an outdoor venue in Norcross, Georgia. Absolutely fantastic show. Hit after hit after hit.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

It's literally less than a month until football season. If you want to talk about the Almond Brothers or who ever the heck they are take that crap elsewhere

Ha. Tell me you're not a regular without telling me you're not a regular.

wha....no mention of Chet Atkins or Roy Acuff from up in Union County

Garbage...dude is the only artist in the Rock, Gospel, Blues and Country HOFs.

Go take a on some other hack. Elvis had a 3.5 to 4 octave range...and his voice was f'n beautiful.

For fun go listen to him sing "memories" and then "Tryin to get to you" from the 68 special...it does not even sound like the same person..that is real f'n versatility.

One of the more underrated vocalists. Also CCR is an underrated band, imo. Yes, they have a set sound but nothing wrong with that, imo.

Love putting in Elvis Christmas station. Really is special.

Reminds me of Christmas with my Grandmother in Jonesborough, out in the Country. Love it.

I'll take overly defensive for 10,000 Alex.

As far as being born in the state and basing off of pure musicianship it would have to be Duane Allman for me.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'm just sick of hearing him denigrated. The man was an amazing singer and performer...period, no "buts" needed

 

[Devo182]

Allman. They made this thing called MUSIC. Not that crap you hear today.

The crap I hate currently is how people think folks in 2022 are being throwback...when really they're just shaving off a style out of nowhere for a single hit, having no history in it, then getting all the credit. Literally have seen umpteen articles about how Beyonce "brought back House music" from the 90s...as if Justice, Daft Punk, and many many others also in the chicago, jersey, and detroit scenes haven't been killing it the past 20+ years.

What a joke. If it isn't on the radio for the idiocracy, I guess it just doesn't exist then

I compare them to AC/DC. When a CCR/Fogerty song comes on you know immediately who it is. There's nothing wrong with having a signature sound.

And yet I haven't denigrated him. Maybe target someone who has.
