THAT WAS THEN
LYNN ANDERSON
Today's Jarring Juxtaposition journey begins back then, in the early 70s, with multi-
award-winning country singing star Lynn Anderson. In 1967 Lynn began a series of
appearances on The Lawrence Welk Show. Columbia took notice and awarded Lynn
a recording contract. Lynn rose to national fame with her biggest hit, a cover of the
Joe South song "Rose Garden." In late 1970, Lynn's single spent five weeks at the
top of the Country chart, and in early 1971 the record reached #1 on Cash Box
and top 3 on Billboard. Lynn Anderson was only 67 when she took ill and
died in 2015. Let's turn back the clock to happier times and watch Lynn
on the TV show That Good Ole Nashville Music doing her signature
song "(I beg your pardon... I never promised you a) Rose Garden."

THIS IS NOW
LETTERS FROM THE FIRE
In stark contrast to Lynn Anderson is hard rocker Alexa Kabazie, lead zinger
of the San Francisco band Letters From The Fire. Alexa left the band in 2017,
but not before giving us this rock nugget, the first single released from their
debut studio album Worth the Pain. Here now are Letters From The Fire
with "Give In To Me" which went top 40 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

THE SUPREMES
Now let's go back to 1964, with The Supremes and "Come See About Me,"
their third single of five in a row to reach the top spot on the pop chart.
Two days after Christmas that year, Motown's premier act of the 60s
performed their latest hit on The Ed Sullivan Show, the first of
17 live appearances by The Supremes on the program. In this
extended remix clip you will see The Supremes dressed in
hot pink as they sang on Sullivan, and in black and white
appearing on other music variety TV shows of the period.

STITCHED UP HEART
A far cry from Diana, Mary and Flo is Alecia "Mixi" Demner, lead zinger of
Stitched Up Heart, a Los Angeles based hard rock/metal band that toured
with the band you saw and heard earlier - Letters From The Fire. In 2016
Stitched Up Heart's debut album Never Alone reached the Top 10 on
the Heatseeker and Hard Rock charts. "Monster," the second
single released from the album, thrashed its way into the
top 30 on the Mainstream Rock survey.

MARIE OSMOND
It's safe to say Marie Osmond is a woman of many talents. She has hosted a popular
TV variety show and later a talk show with brother Donny. She is an actress who
has starred in Broadway shows, had her own TV sitcom, is a published author,

HALOCENE & FRIENDS
Now meet my #1 favorite female rocker of the 2020s - Addie Nicole - lead zinger
of the Phoenix, Arizona, band Halocene. I am 100% SOLD on Addie and her band.
In this performance, Addie and her guys are joined by three other female rock stars
who rose to fame on YouTube in recent years. They include Audra Miller of the
Erie, PA, band First To Eleven, Violet Orlandi, an artist based in São Paulo,
Brazil, artist Lauren Babic of Toronto, Canada, plus a Toronto-based
male musician, guitarist Cole Rolland. Watch and listen as this
dream team of hot, young and talented rock performers
covers the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'."

Have a Shady day!
Hi Shady! It's a mild and sunny Saturday here in the Lone Star State.
ReplyDeleteYou've presented some pretty great talent today. I always liked Lynn Anderson and "Rose Garden". Seems like there were a few good covers of this song. I wasn't a serious follower of her, so I wasn't aware of her passing. It is a sad loss to the country music industry. We lose so many artists now that we're in our "other" years. The one I really miss is Skeeter Davis and "The End of The World". This is one of my old, sad favorites. I knew she was suffering from cancer, and, still feel sad for her passing.
On a lighter note, isn't Marie Osmond delightful? She is still a beauty with a wonderful personality and voice. And, I have to say I like Alexa with Letters From The Fire (what a name!). I like this song and her mega strong voice. I don't know why, but she makes me think of Lisa Marie Presley. Cute girl!
"Come See About Me" is truly a classic, and I still love it. The Supremes and other girl groups alike, always had great hair, great clothes, and great voices.
I'm not too crazy about Stitched up Heart and "Monster". The song is good, but there is too much throaty screaming...I'm sorry.
I enjoyed reviewing some of these artists that I didn't know about. The girls with Halocene did a superb job on "Don't Stop Believin", and the band is the best-great musicians.
Shady, I hope you are doing well. We're about to have our Daylight Savings time change, ugh! I like it better when it gets dark earlier...it seems to allow more evening time. Thank you for the variety of artists and music on this fun post. Have a great weekend, dear friend!
Hi, Suzanne!
DeleteThanks for hurrying over on Saturday to claim the Early Bird title, dear friend!
It's good to know you have improved weather in your region. We had a nice cool down the last three days and it feels great.
Yessum, the older I get the more I notice when a famous name dies "young." I keep adjusting the scale on the age range. I used to consider "young" as someone under 50. Now it's anybody under 80. :) I wasn't a country music fan in my youth, but I find myself tolerating and even enjoying it in recent years. Since Lynn's "Rose Garden" was a huge crossover hit, I figured I'd plug it in as one of the "That Was Then" songs in this edition of the series. Yessum, Skeeter Davis was only 72 when her world came to an end. That seems young to us now.
Thank you for singling out that ultra rare clip of Marie Osmond singing on The Donny & Marie Show at the start of 1978. I can't tell you how many times clips of Marie have been uploaded on YouTube only to disappear before I can even post them. I hope this one lasts at least six days!
Yessum - good eye. Alexa Kabazie does resemble Lisa Marie. I'm thrilled that you like her singing style as frontwoman of the Frisco based Letters rock band.
That extended audio & video remix of The Supremes is another rare find. It gives us a chance to see the girls in color on Ed Sullivan and in black & white on other music TV series of the period. Perhaps some of that B&W footage was lifted from their 16 other performances on Ed's show.
Oh my. Over the years there have only been one or two female followers who actually love harsh vocals as much as I do. Sorry it's a hard pass on Mixi, Stitched Up Heart and their best known song "Monster." My Pick To Click for the post is Addie Nicole of Halocene. Over the past dozen years the Phoenix based band has evolved from doing mostly pop to alternative rock and lately performing harder rock than ever before. That's why I am suddenly taking notice to them. Halocene rocks authentically. They are gaining fans by leaps and bounds and rightfully so.
Thanks for reminding me that we need to spring forward next weekend. I always enjoy getting an hour less sleep overnight. :) Mrs. Shady is particularly fond of having the daylight last longer into the evening because it allows her more time to tinker in her garden.
I trust you noticed that beautiful Shady Dell graffiti greeting card BB made for me. I have it on permanent display in my right sidebar.
Thanks again for coming early, dear friend Suzanne. I hope you and Scootie are enjoying your weekend. I'll be back with a new post next Friday, a very important date on the Shady Dell calendar. Hope to see you then. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a super week, dear friend Suzanne!
Am I the first here?? If I am try not to fall off your chair:). I am not into country but I do like Rose Garden song but I would want to burn that dress..yikes. I am so not into heavy metal so the next 2 gals in the heavy metal, I would want to bring them to a bathroom and give them a good soak. I can hear good voices but ick. Who doesn't love the Supremes and their finery including the hot pink #. Oh Marie looks so young and sings that song but not quite understanding the meaning of the song because she is so young. I bet she would sing it differently now with all that she endured including the loss of her son. If you saw her on Dancing With The Stars, the big fainting part...She was so hyper just before that I bet she was on something. I really enjoy the smash up of Don't Stop Believing with some great singing from all the gals. I do love that one lady all in dark, older with short hair-her voice could easily do torch songs. have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi, Birgit!
DeleteCongratulations, dear friend - you're the Early Bird runner-up! That means you take home the coveted silver medal for Team Canada! :) Thanks for coming!
Yessum, "Rose Garden" crossed over big time, and that's why I saw fit to use it in this edition of TWT - TIN. The song was penned by Joe South who, as a recording artist, achieved crossover hits of his own with "Games People Play" and "Walk A Mile In My Shoes." Suzanne (above) and I have been discussing performers who died too young. Joe South was another example. Joe left us at age 72.
WHAT??? YOu don't like my heavy metal gals? Me likey!!! :) Some like it harsh and I'm one of them. I especially appreciate a song like "Monster" in which lead zinger Mixi alternates between melodic, clean vocals and harsh, in your face screaming. Someday all music will be like this!
Yessum, The Supremes looked adorable on Ed Sullivan in their hot pink dresses. It was the first of 17 - count 'em - SEVENTEEN appearances by the Motown girls on Ed's famous show.
Glad you appreciate the rare video of Marie Osmond performing on her sibling TV show in the late 70s. I agree that she would not have been very effective at the time singing songs in the "deep soul" category, but perhaps could sing the blues with the best of them now that she is older and has experienced more of life's ups and downs.
How about that dream team of young rising YouTube stars covering Journey? It's a masterpiece, in my opinion. If you watch the video all the way through, you will appreciate the amazing editing work that was involved to piece it together from separate performances under quarantine. The blending of voices in awesome. Watch those gals. They're going places! Addie Nicole, Audra Miller and Violet Orlandi are all in the pipeline for future posts here at Shady's Place, so stick around.
Since most other followers read the comments and replies on this blog, I want to mention for their benefit the beautiful Shady Dell graffiti greeting card you made for me. I have the image on permanent display in my right sidebar. Thank you again, dear friend BB, for your kindness and ongoing friendship! I wish you a happy weekend and a great week ahead!
Hi there friend Shady! I must confess that I am not really into the heavy metal (to me) sounding girls in your grouping here but I do like the rendition of Don't Stop Believing. I agree with Birgit about the dress on Lynn Anderson. Sad that she passed so young (I am starting to consider anyone under 100 as young the older I get).
ReplyDeleteOn another note, hubby and I got our second covid vaccines yesterday and I am grateful that we both made it through without any symptoms. In fact, my arm is less sore this time than after the first. We got our taxes done and are getting a refund and I got 6 new transcription projects so all is really good in our world right now. Hope you and the Mrs. are staying safe and well. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend.
Hi, Janet!
DeleteHow are you and my buddy Benny doing, dear friend? Thanks for checking out the latest edition of my series The Jarring Juxtaposition of Female Vocalists Past & Present! Seems like you join other female readers in favoring the performers of the past.
I keep waiting for that woman bowler to convert a 7-10 split, but she keeps rolling one strike after another No wonder she's smiling. :)
I suppose it's unanimous about Lynn Anderson's dress. It looks like a family hand-me-down from the horse and buggy days. You're right. I'm soon ready to declare that anyone under the age of 100 should be considered young. That gives old Shady a little more breathing room. On second thought... better make it 200. :)
Thanks for the reassurance about the second COVID shot. Mrs. Shady told me every man she knows took ill after the second dose. I get mine this coming Friday. If you and your hubby can do it, I can do it.
Looks like your family finances are also on an upturn. Glad to hear it! Yessum, we have a lot for which to be thankful each and every day. All we need to do is focus on the small victories and simple pleasures of life instead of dwelling on all that's wrong with the world.
Thank you for tuning in and samping the sounds, dear friend Janet, heavy metal and all. Please hug Benny for me. I wish you a good Saturday night, a super Sunday and a safe and happy week ahead!
Hi Shady! Glad I didn't miss this post! You know that heavy metal isn't my thing but I enjoyed the then and now. The then was all sugar and no spice but definitely super talents. Super talents in the now. Strong in your face vocals! I did enjoy the Journey cover. Not all heavy metal is bad! You're right about Marie's talent. The whole family is talented. I saw them at a church function many years ago and the whole family sang acapella. They were amazing. Thanks for sending some warm weather our way..Monday looks like spring has sprung! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHi, Yaya!
DeleteThanks for coming by early, dear friend!
I'm happy to know you appreciated the Thens and Nows in volume 7 of my series. I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am with that collaborative cover of the Journey hit "Don't Stop Believin." It's an epic achievement showcasing some of the finest young talent on YouTube. I'll be bringing you more of Addie Nicole and her band Halocene along with Audra Miller's First To Eleven (aka F211), so please stick around.
Yessum, Marie Osmond comes from a talented family and they all emerged from the deep end of the gene pool where looks are concerned. I was pleased to find this pristine clip of Marie doing "Cry, Baby Cry" on her brother - sister television show of the 70s. It should be noted that the song Marie sang is different from the" Cry Baby Cry" that became a hit early in 1962 for The Angels.
If you're experiencing warm weather in Ohio, then your temperature might be close to ours here in Florida, maybe even warmer. It's been quite chilly here for three days straight and I'm appreciating it while it lasts.
Thanks again for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend, dear friend YaYa!
I like "Rose Garden" but Lynn Anderson looks a bit bored singing (or lip syncing) in the clip that you show, which is dated three years after the single's release. Googling, I found a much more lively version of her singing the song in her sixties, by which time she had exchanged the Little House on the Prairie dress for a pearl studded cowboy hat and a multicolored, multifabriced shirt that would make Doc Severson green with envy. But she sounded great.
ReplyDeleteIn that Letters from the Fire video, is that the same actress playing both the dominatrix and (and once she takes off the hood) the object of the dominatrix' abuse? And why does then she find an apparently lifeless version of her self? Does this scene represent a sexually-repressed form of self-loathing that will eventually manifest itself in the extinction of the id? I don't expect you to answer that, Shady, but I am going to put a call through to Vienna and see what they think.
That girl in Stitched Up Heart can guttural scream with the best of them. I wonder if she stabbed herself with a pencil to achieve that sound.
Liked watching The Supremes go from black-and-white to color back to black-and-white again. Motown in a time loop.
I thought Marie Osmond did a nice job on that song. But I think you're right about her not having enough life experience to do the song justice. What does a 14-year-old girl on a hit television show know about heartbreak? Wait until she's 16 and finds herself scheduled opposite Wonder Woman.
And finally, Haloscene has these different people from different bands, is this a YouTube version of a supergroup? Whatever it is, killer version of "Don't stop Believing"
Hi, Kirk!
DeleteWelcome to Shady's Place, good buddy! Thanks for popping in for another rousing round of Jarring Juxtapositions!
I just reviewed the Lynn Anderson video I posted of her singing her sig song on a 1973 episode of That Good Ole Nashville Music. I picked that particular vid because I wanted to present a performance that took place as close as possible to the time when her record was riding the charts. "Rose Garden" didn't become a nationwide hit until early 1971, and so that 1973 performance took place only two years later. Of course, by then Lynn had probably sung her hit a gazillion times, yet my eyes and ears experience her performance on Nashville Music a little differently than yours. First, I do not think it is a lip sync performance. I also don't think Lynn phoned it in. She seems enthusiastic but restrained, a style that was typical for female artists of the period. I can picture Tammy Wynette, Jeannie C. Reilly, Anne Murray, Helen Reddy, Linda Ronstadt and countless other female artists of the late 60s and early 70s performing in that same steady, controlled, subdued, "ladylike" manner. As women performed in those days, they made no sudden moves that would unduly excite the older and more conservative members of the audience. Think Lawrence Welk Show. Wanda Jackson could be called an exception, but even she was a "controlled burn" on stage. She didn't jump around. She simply stood there, played her guitar and sang the song. Berry Gordy groomed his Supremes and other girl groups and female soloists to look and act like sophisticated, refined ladies in order to win the approval of white audiences. Admittedly, the times were changing, but a remarkable amount of entertainment produced during this period was still refined, restrained and subdued. That's why my mother liked The Andy Williams Show, Perry Como and Dean Martin. They crooned. They didn't emote too much. They didn't make any sudden moves. They either stood in one spot for the entire song or took slow footsteps around the stage --nothing drastic. Emotions were held in check. Feelings were largely implied and kept at a safe distance. That was the way my mother and many other other survivors of The Great Depression liked their entertainment - Pat Boone placid. It was Alice Cooper who, around this same time frame, made it okay and even fashionable to bring blood and gore to the stage. He played with snakes, had his head chopped off and deliberately tried to shock the audience. I'm rambling, Kirk, but it's early in the morning and my coffee hasn't yet kicked in. I hope some of the above makes sense to you.
(continued)
I don't know how to interpret the scenario in that Letters video. Maybe it represents a woman's sexual fantasy in which she plays a dual role of the top and the bottom in a BDSM setup. All I can tell you is that I'd pay good money to get in on that action. :)
DeleteI love how Mixi Demner transforms herself into a screaming banshee in "Monster." That's my kinda stuff. I can't picture Lynn Anderson or Marie Osmond doing that song, can you? It was actually my Canadian friend Birgit (above) who brought up that point about Marie Osmond perhaps lacking the maturity to adequately interpret the song she sang on Donny & Marie. Do you remember Marie's 1995/96 TV sitcom Maybe This Time in which (you guessed it) BETTY WHITE played her mother? Wiki reminds us that Betty's character on Marie's show was "a variation of White's Sue Ann Nivens from Mary Tyler Moore." I watched that series. Did you?
There are several individual artists and bands I follow on YouTube that routinely collaborate on songs in order to expand their audiences, gain more followers and Patreons and market their merch. Sometimes they appear together in the same studio. Other times it is a virtual group performance. Halocene, First To Eleven, Violet Orlandi, Lauren Babic and the outstanding Ukrainian rock duo of Sershen & Zarítskaya frequently appear on each other's channels to do covers of classic rock, pop metal, alt rock, grunge and modern rock. Sometimes they perform original songs. I am excited to bring you the best of these young artists in the weeks, months and years ahead.
Seems like you found a few of these to your liking, Kirk. Thanks again for joining the fun, good buddy, and have a wonderful week!
Honestly, Shady, I think up until now I've only HEARD Lynn Anderson sing "Rose Garden" and not actually SEEN her do it, so I may have been expecting something different. Also, lip sync is a poor choice of words on my part. Back when singing was more commonplace on TV then it is now, a recording was often used. The artist could still sing along if they wanted to--indeed it might have been more easier than mouthing the words--but what you heard at home was the recording. Not all the time, but often enough so it made me want to qualify my remarks. I wasn't reading her lips or anything, I just knew it was a possibility. Look. I'm someone who likes Perry Como AND Alice Cooper. But I was surprised by her performance. I guess maybe it's the song's lyrics. They're a harsh as anything written by Mick Jagger in his heyday (and I should note that it was still his heyday when "Rose Garden" was released) so I guess was expecting a smirking delivery. Turn down the sound, and she might as well be singing "Stand by Your Man".
DeleteAll this got me thinking how this song would have gone over if sung by a man. Wait, it was sung by a man! But it wasn't made famous by a man. Maybe the lyrics were just easier to take, at least as you said in a country music setting (as opposed to a hard rock setting--"Under my thumb, it's the squirming dog who's just had her day..."), when sung by a woman. It just might have been seen as all too obnoxious coming from a man--in a country music setting. So I'm not really putting Anderson's performance down, just expressing puzzlement. Because lyrically, I just don't think it's all that gentle a song.
Hi, Kirk!
DeleteIs it true what everybody says... that Cleveland rocks?
Thanks for the extra input, good buddy! There's a rumor going around that calm and collected Perry Como BECAME shock rocker Alice Cooper. The people who believe that also believe the 2020 election was stolen. You're right. A song like "Rose Garden" would convey a different impression if a man sang it, and I can't imagine Egg MickJagger singing Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar." :) However I think it's cool that Nancy Wheeler of Stranger Things adopted the hit Alice Cooper song as her own, naming her new SPMM radio show "No More Mr. Nice Girl." Nancy presents vol. 1 of her series later this year, so stick around!
Have a great week, Kirk!
Quite the variety. The journey cover is well done. And never knew Marie Osmond accomplished all that. I did watch the variety show when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteHi, Alex!
DeleteThanks for joining me on a Sunday, good buddy!
I'm glad your eyes and ears agree with mine on that Journey cover by Halocene and friends. A ton of work went into the production and it shows. Halocene is my #1 favorite rock band at the present time. Stay tuned for more of Addie Nicole and her guys coming up in future posts.
Yes, the versatile Marie Osmond has found success in several arenas. I watched her 90s sitcom Maybe This Time but not her earlier music variety show.
Thanks again for sampling the sights and sounds on the latest edition of That Was Then - This Is Now, good buddy Alex!
Tom,
ReplyDeleteThe talent of yesterday blows my mind, not to mention how nice it was to see women looking and acting like ladies. Your jarring female vocals are quite different. Your first and third features I liked pretty well. The second one was truly too jarring for my ears. Letters from the Fire I like the best. I'm heading over to YouTube to listen to more music by them. Thanks for look back in time and flash forward with sounds of today. Have a marvelous day, my friend!
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteIt's great to see you, dear friend. Thanks for coming!
In nearly 13 years of blogging, I can count on one FINGER the number of female followers who told me they like harsh heavy metal vocals. :) The combination of clean/melodic singing and angry, harsh screams and death growls is my favorite type of rock music, and that's why I posted "Monster." My only complaint is that I notice too many tattoos on some of today's female rockers. Me no likey!
I'm glad you enjoyed the songs that flashed back to the 60s and 70s. I know you remember The Donny and Marie Show from your youth.
Thanks again for joining the fun, dear friend Cathy. Have a boogietastic week!
Tom,
DeleteOh, I do not like tats on anyone but above all on girls! I don't understand why women want to deface their beautiful bodies. *shake head* My Thursday post finally went live. Sorry for the mix up, my friend!
Hi, Cathy!
DeleteI just visited your Thursday post. Thanks for the heads up. I tend to get busy for blocks of time and I just noticed that you are running the Art Date feature afterall. At any rate I'm glad I didn't miss seeing a pic of you in 9th grade. I've always been curious. Short hair looks great on you. I actually prefer that hair style on girls and women. You and I are in total agreement about some things and tattoos is one of them. A couple of small, tasteful tats are okay, I suppose, but if I had my way, women would simply refrain from covering over their natural beauty.
Thanks again for stopping in, dear friend Cathy!
Hi Shady,
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting me rockin' as I complete my work for the day! It's a sunny day too and even more perfect.
Wow, these really are jarring juxtapositions! I absolutely loved the female metal heads and loved their songs. I wasn't familiar with any of the groups, but I dig the sound. I love the harshness in their voices and I am going to have to YouTube them, to see if I can find more hits. :)
Have a great day dear friend!
Hi, Jessica Marie!
DeleteIt's good to see you, dear friend, Thanks for coming to my 7th TWT - TIN platter party!
Yessum, I was counting on you to be the lone female follower of Shady's Place who would give an enthusiastic thumbs up to the intense, at times harsh vocals of the rock queens in this post. I'm glad you like them. You will find a ton of great tuneage on Halocene's channel, and I intend to present many more of their song videos as the weeks, months and years roll by. I'm 100% sold on Addie Nicole and her guys, plus she regularly collaborates with other up-and-coming rock stars on YouTube. These are indeed exciting times, and I am thrilled to see young people who really know how to rock hard.
Thanks again for coming, dear friend JM, and enjoy the rest of your week!
Hi Shady,
DeleteI will definitely have to check out their YouTube channels! Seeing all these young rockers makes me happy and gives me hope too!
Before I have back to back meetings tomorrow, dear friend, I'll give these gems a listen to again. :)
Have a great evening!
What amazes me is how many high quality covers these bands produce. They keep cranking them out at an amazing rate. I wish I could post many more of their videos, but time doesn't permit. If I had a mind to, I could easily devote my entire blog to introducing new bands doing classic rock covers.
DeleteHope your meetings go well tomorrow, dear friend JM!
