Tnn's `American Music Shop' Brings Top Performers Together
July 03, 1993|By Wayne Bledsoe, Scripps-Howard News Service.
NASHVILLE - On a network filled with music, "The American Music Shop" stands out.
Nearly every show of the Nashville Network's "American Music Shop" (9 p.m. and 1 a.m. Tuesdays, TNN) is an event: Country diva Emmylou Harris performs with new star Trisha Yearwood; legendary singer-songwriter John Prine trades songs with upcoming singer-songwriter John Wesley Harding; young country star Dwight Yoakam picks with bluegrass great Ralph Stanley; Ireland's foremost band, the Chieftains, performs with Ricky Skaggs and Chet Atkins.
It's a show where individual music artists perform together, often for the first time, backed up by some of the best session players in music.
On one recent show, the host was Nanci Griffith, and it includes some of Griffith's favorite songwriters-Janis Ian, Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Jeff Walker and Frank Christiansen.
Backstage, at a television studio in Opryland, there is a happy buzz. The artists joke, eat and prepare for their parts on the show, while the artists' management and TNN employees keep things moving. On the soundstage, the house band runs through the night's numbers.
"American Music Shop" premiered in March 1990. The show's creator and executive producer, Brian O'Neill, says the idea was to make each week's musical host a person known to most country music fans, then slip in lesser known talented artists-most often people whom the host liked. That way, he says, both the audience and the artists win.
The show, TNN's fourth most popular program, seems to be a particular favorite among other musicians.
It doesn't hurt that the members of the house band have followings in their own right.
Led by master violinist, guitarist, mandolinist Mark O'Connor, the band includes Jerry Douglas, a man who has nearly reinvented the dobro; guitarist Brent Mason; bassist Glen Worf; drummer Harry Stinson; and keyboardists John Jarvis and Matt Rollings.
"In developing the show, I sold the network on getting the very best possible house band that we could get," O'Neill says.
"And that was going to be part of the draw for the show-at least from the artist's perspective."
O'Connor, probably the most popular session musician in Nashville at the time, was thrilled with the prospect.
He says the show offered the first chance for television audiences to get a look at how Nashville's studio musicians work.

Every time I see these guys I'm stunned by their mastery of the instruments. Entire band. Wow!
Have loved Albert since his days with ' Heads, Hands and Feet ' . Simply the best !
i know Im kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
Thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!
This was the "good ole days", I remember being just a teenager when I first saw this particular episode! The level of musicianship displayed by everyone involved was nothing short of spectacular! Mr. Mark Oconnor is one of the very best and most gifted instrumentalists that we will ever have the privilege to see, Harry was exactly what they needed for back up vocals and drums, Jerry Douglas has forever changed the way we will view the Dobro as a lead and back up instrument. Brent Mason is still one of the most stylistic guitarists we my ever hear, seamlessly playing every style imaginable with equal skill. I can't imagine calling this extraordinary group of pickets a "house band". Thank you for the post, and thank God the cameras were rolling and captured this amazing display of talent.
Very well said my man. Very well said.
Love the way Albert picks up where Vince left off at 3:35. Gets me every time!
I Have seen Albert in Liverpool an amazing player I just love this guy.
Heck yeah. Boy have I traveled the entire guitar spectrum. Rock to metal then jazz then jazz fusion then classical flamenco now country. My brain is gonna explode but you gotta respect them all!
Whew. I'm exhausted just watching these guys. Vintage!
Mother of Jaysus!!!!! Out of this world playing....LOVE IT!
thats just another level
Albert lee, not much more to say, but an Honorable mention would be Mr. Vince Gills Playing
Es ist schlicht und ergreifend wahnsinnig, was Albert Lee und Vince Gill da veranstalten mit der alten Tante "Tiger Rag"
Memories…I wish I could find all of the old TNN live music shows.
Saw Mark O'Connor trading licks with Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs back in 1980. That was notoriously smoking hot but this too is right at that same explosive level. I thought Albert Lee's red guitar was going to spontaneously combust, and I loved the way under-rated VInce Gill gave him all the glory while hanging back with the best rhythm a guitarist could offer! I was having a Dregs flashback listening to that, so much that I almost had a Gina Lola Breakdown!
It used to be simple, Danny Gatton and Albert Lee =my number one and number two favorite telemasters, then around 1984 I bought my first Roy Buchanan lp and Vince Gill's first solo album, and was blown away by Roy's command of the tele and Vince's playing on Victim of Life's Circumstances just blew my mind.
There are so many great tele players you have to give credit to each for their own styles, here's a few that I can think of that are up there with the first guys I mentioned.(I'm sure I'll miss some)
Gerry Donahue, Brent Mason, Pete Anderson, Scotty Anderson, Steve Piticco, Steve Wariner, Brad Paisley, Red Volkaert and Keith Urban.
Better check out Johnny Highland......amazing chicken picker.
@@frankphelps9281 I actually have some of his instructional material, don't know how I missed his name in the list. Could also add Daneil Denato as well.
I was very fortunate to have been on stage playing bass with Redd Volkaert a few years ago. I'd put up against any guitar player any time.
Thanks for posting Mark. That show was the best - introduced me to dozens of musicians that I hadn't met before.
Guitars on fire
Sensational -- great work by all muso's thanks for posting!
Mark SUPER!!!
That tone of gill tho wow
fast fingers. Mark O'Connor lived with my great uncle Benny Thomasson when he was a teenager to learn Texas style of fiddling. Uncle Benny was 3 time world champion in the 50s. father of Texas Hodown.
No better EVER than this!!👌😎
Brutal!
How tall is that fiddle player?? hehe This is dueling absolutely amazing guitar players... 2 of the best to grip a long neck...
Only two of the finest country guitar pickers ever, playing together on the same stage. If your head isn't bobbing and your foot isn't tapping, have your friends check to see if you still have a pulse.
Did not know Vince could play like that 😂
Check out his Oklahoma Borderline, preferably a live version
when uncle Albert gets angry....watch out !!
❤️❤️‼️
Opening theme tune name please... someone......tell me .....
Call the fire department! The guitars are melting and the stage is burning down.
A bunch of world class virtuosos at the peak of their mastership form a band - and everything is caught on video. This is a stroke of luck of music history.
this is insane
Hold that tiger...Hold that tiger...
Those two guys will be OK once they find out where they're trying to get to on that neck, haha.
I thought V.G. was supposed to be a great guitar player, but Lee smoked him till he was back-n-blue over ever inch of his behind.
Albert Lee’s playing for me is completely soulless. Vince Gill is so much better
Is that why Vince has an ear to ear smile every time Albert cuts loose ? Your opinion is of course yours.
@@paullevine1813 I've never doubted his technical dexterity but I still think it's soulless, technique & speed seems to be the goal. I only saw Vince smiling after his own solo not Albert's. But you are indeed right my opinion is mine just as yours is yours and neither or both are correct.
Do you mean this performance, or in general? Because here Vince sounds a bit sterile, nervous and over-rehearsed. Albert, in contrast, a true improviser, never plays anything the same way twice, always fresh and surprising. Yes, he repeats his signature licks, but always in unexpected new combinations. And his joy and energy level are unmatched. You have a weird concept of “soulless.” Does he have good legato phrasing? No. Can he play the blues? Not really. And sometimes he’s uncomfortable at slower tempos, his fingers want to go faster. But his seat-of-the-pants wizardry injects just as much life into his performances as any soulful player you could name. If Albert Lee, Clapton, Knopfler, Gilmore and Mr. Gill were all playing separate shows on the same night, I’d go see Albert.
@@davidgrout1056 in general. Maybe there is no soul in country twiddling at breakneck speed. Personally, I’d rather listen to Knopfler and GILMOUR any day.
@@alanhowell3646 Maybe you’re looking for soul in all the wrong places?
