Few day ago I watch one movie about life of famous country singer, Loretta Lynn. The name of that was Coal Miner's Daughter.
She was born in small village Butcher Hollow in Kentucky, April 14, 1934 to family of coal miner Melvin "Ted" Webb and his wife Clara Marie (Ramey) Webb. Her own name was Loretta Young. She was the second of eight children. She grew up in same village. Maybe somebody didn't know, she is also from one side Indian, because her mother was of Scots-Irish and Cherokee ancestry.
She was married in January 10, 1948 to Oliver Vanetta Lynn, who was known as "Doolittle," "Doo,". Yes, you see right. Only in her 13 years old. Very young. Her husband had to promise to her father two things: 1., he has never beat her, 2., he has never taken Loretta far away from her family house. The wedding day was very poor, only few people. She hadn't any experiences of married life and houses works, as she said she was uneducated. Doo worked, she was housewife. But without any knowledges of cooking, of housekeeping. Maybe that's why Doo was angry with her and bagged he. She returned home, to parent's house. In that time she was pregnant but she didn't know it. Doo decided to leave Kentucky and went to Washington. When he got to know about pregnant we changed decision and stayed with Loretta in Butcher Hollow. To her 17 years old, she had already 4 children (Betty Sue, Ernest Ray, Jack Benny, Doo - I hope I write right). In 1951 they left to Custer, Washington. There she was full time mother. She started to sing as child in church, but after wedding she stopped it. Again she started to sing from her children and around their house. Doo liked it and that's why he bought her guitar, although she wasn't able to play on it. Loretta learned to play during cooking, during many house works. One day Doo invited her to pub and there she began singing in local club - Grace Hall. The first embarrassment went away and Loretta had great success. From that time she sang more time but Doo had other plans. Next step was recording single named I'm A Honky Tonk Girl and Doo sent it with her photo to many radios. It looks her life is on right way, and suddenly hard blow, her father died (1959). Loretta taxed herself with her leaving to Washington. New plans - open her sing career. Her children stayed with grand mother in Kentucky and Loretta with Doo started to visit all radios, where they sent her single. They took Regional Record Reports and started. The first step was to play her song. In radio they wasn't put it, but Loretta was relentless and it was well. After that the success show changed success show. One day she sang song especially for Patsy Cline, who had car accident. Patsy's husband Charlie Dick invite Loretta to Patsy's room in hospital where she was. Both women found affinity and the friendship started. Loretta went with Patsy on Patsy's tour. Doo went with them. Loretta became famous, her husband started to go back and it wasn't what he wanted. He drunk, to be aggressive.He still love her and that's why he made decision - Loretta continued in tour, he went home. Loretta is pregnant again. Patsy make plans but she died during returning from benefit concert(at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas) at plane crash in March 5, 1963 near Camden, Tennessee. Patsy Cline was 30 years old. Loretta was broken-hearted. The pregnant was ended by childbirth of twin girls. As soon as possible she returned to concert's activity. The concerts were very strenuous, Loretta slept more in bus as in normal bed in house and she started to have headache. She have taken medicaments, more and more. Tempo is hard, on next tour Lorette was traveled with her husband Doo, but problems of her health has deepen. She didn't remember song words, she is run-down and in the end she flaked out direct on podium. Later she spent time on their Ranch with her husband and her children. Doo decided to build new house. The free time was very important for her, she returned to the light of reflector, with new vitality, with new songs. During the movie, I thought: Yes, it was very long time ago, it was normal, it was in 19-teen century. It can happened only in that time. And after movie? Stop, it was in 20-teen. Loretta is still the first country lady. And she is good example that when man wants something and work on himself, he can have success. REMEMBER IT.

The brake point came when she got 14 of full-state hitparade. In that time Doo decided the time is right to come out in Grand Ole Opry. Loretta had never hoped to be there, but it was in Ernest Tubb show. In white hat and in own sewn dress, Loretta was light point of this show. Step by step her fame was growing up and she was in Tubb's show next week again.
Again she was busy, she traveled on tours, recorded albums, showed on concerts. She became the most favourite country singer, especially The first Country Lady.
All information was from movie Coal Miner's Daughter.

Millennium he celebrated by work, his song Things Have Changed won Golden Globe Award for the Best Original Song and Academy Award for Best Song. Dylan's greatest recent album was Love and Theft, which was realized on September 2001. This album was produced by Bob Dylan, but under pseudonym Jack Frost. Next years he released songs, and after five years he brought new studio album. During this period he recorded some songs and realized some different projects (He was grateful to Johnny Cash, who helped him and how Dylan said, „for standing up for me way back.“ He recorded song for Johnny Cash TV tribute. Releases movie – Masked & Anonymous – by Larry Charles). The movie had a limited run in Theatres and got many good critics.
On June 23, 2004, Dylan was awarded an honorary degree (Doctor of Music) by University of St.Andrew. On October of the same year, Dylan published his autobiography – Chronicles: Volume One, where he wrote also about the process, which ignited him to start to write own songs. The book was nominated for a National Book Award.
In 2005 Bob returned to recording studio to record Tell Ol' Bill and in the next year album Modern Times, which was nominated for three Grammy Awards.
In his 65 years old, Bob became the oldest living musician to top the Billboard albums chart.
On May 3, 2006 there was premiere of Dylan's DJ career, hosting in weekly radio program for XM Satellite Radio. BBC Radio 2 started transmission of Dylan's radio to UK on December same year and BBC 6 Music on January next year.
On August 2007 the movie I'm Not There by Todd Haynes won Award. This movie was inspired by Dylan's life, original soundtrack and the other tracks were Dylan's songs, especially recorded for the movie by various interprets. Later Haynes wrote about person Dylan:
The minute you try to grab hold of Dylan, he's no longer where he was. He's like a flame: If you try to hold him in your hand you'll surely get burned. Dylan's life of change and constant disappearances and constant transformations makes you yearn to hold him, and to nail him down. And that's why his fan base is so obsessive, so desirous of finding the truth and the absolutes and the answers to him - things that Dylan will never provide and will only frustrate.... Dylan is difficult and mysterious and evasive and frustrating, and it only makes you identify with him all the more as he skirts identity.
On October 2007 Columbia Records (recording studio) released Dylan's anthology, and there was also released DVD The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965. In the same month, there was opened the first public exhibition of Bob Dylan paintings in Germany, with 170 watercolors and gouaches.
In the end of last year Dylan recorded new version of A Hard Rain's A- Gonna Fall, double CD (Theme Time Radio Hour With Your Host Bob Dylan).
And what about his plans: Dylan is working on the next volume of his autobiography Chronicles: Volume One. He plans tour through Texas, Mexico, South America, Canada, Iceland, Russia and Europe.
Bob Dylan's private life.
He married Sara Lownds on November 22, 1965. They had four children (Jesse Byron, Anna Lea, Samuel Isaac Abraham, Jacob Luke) and Dylan adopted Maria Lownds, daughter of his wife Sara Lownds' first marriage.

In 1970 Dylan released two alums. In the same year he had co-written with George Harrison opening track of The Beatles' album All Things Must Pass - I'd Have You Anytime. He cooperated with George also in Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh. In this year, Dylan had poor studio activities, he recorded only two songs, but next year he recovered it and recorded the second compilation Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II, singles George Jackson, Watching The River Flow, new recording When I Paint My Masterpiece.
In 1972 we could see him in movie Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, where he had role as Alias, member of Billy's gang. He also wrote the song from this movie (Knockin' on Heaven's Door), which to these days has about 150 artists in their repertoires.
Year 1973 he started by recording album on Atlantic Records (recording studio). In this year his contract with Columbia Records expired and he signed contract with David Geffen's Asylum Records (recording studio).
He recorded album Planet Waves with The Band. This album has two versions of the song Forever Young.
After this tour, he had problems in his private life (he and his wife became estranged). He wrote a lot of songs about his problems in his marriage and recorded new album Blood on the Tracks. In the end of the year, he re-recorded some songs in Sound 80 Studio by production assistance of his brother David Zimmerman.
In 1975 he visited boxer Rubin Hurricane Carter in the prison and after that he wrote the successful protest song Hurricane. He believed such as Rubin, the boxer is innocent.
New tour again and new album Desire, with many of Bob Dylan's new songs. TV documented part of this tour. Same year brought the film Renaldo and Clara.
When I wanted to write about Bob Dylan, I try to find more info what I had. I haven't idea, that he has such rich discography. I found, that he brought each year some albums, singles, songs or movies. He didn't write only for himself, but also for other interprets (for example Eric Clapton). It means much, much hard work.
Lyric album Street Legal came in 1978.
In the beginning of the year 1979, he participated in Bible study class. He wanted to find Christ in his life. In that time Dylan released two albums with gospel music. One of them named Slow Train Coming and one song from that album (Gotta Serve Somebody) got Grammy Award as Best Male Vocalist. The second album named Saved. Christianity character of the albums didn't accept so well by some of his fans.
Musical retrospective Shot of Love was released in the springtime of 1981 but met only negative appreciation by critic.
During his life, he engaged in many public appearances, which were organized helping to some groups of people in the world (for example Live Aid concert in 1985).
He went through more music styles, such as country, rock and roll and also rap. In 1988, Bob Dylan went into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Bob Dylan is author, songwriter, singer, musician and poet in the same person.
New decade and new Awards. In 1991 he went into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame and he celebrated it by tour with Santana.
Next year he became to country style and recorded two albums with old folk and blues songs (Good as I Been to You – 1992, World Gone Wrong - 1993) 25 years after famous Woodstock Festival, he brought Woodstock 94.
As 80's, also 90's were rich on albums (Good as I Been to You – 1992, World Gone Wrong – 1993, Time Out of Mind), songs and other activities around the music. He collaborated with many interprets (Mike Seeger, Daniel Lanois, Michael Bolton, Ralph Stanley, Paul Simon, etc.).
In 1997 president of US Bill Clinton presented Bob Dylan in the East Room of the White House.
In 1998 he made duet with bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley on song The Lonesome River and in the middle of next year he traveled on tour with Paul Simon. He recorded album Self Portrait and finished these 90's by movie Paradise Cove by Robert Clapsaddle (role of Alfred the Chaffeur).

In 1961 he leaved this town and went to New York and visited the musical icon Woody Guthrie, who was in hospital in New Jersey. The days of life of Woody were going to finish. Woody was great inspiration for Bob. Such as later Dylan said "You could listen to his songs and actually learn how to live." In hospital Dylan met Ramblin’ Jack Elliott and they became friends.
During year, Bob played at various clubs; in July he presented himself in radio, in program "Saturday of Folk Music". He got public recognition when The New York Times published positive review by critic Robert Shelton. In September, he was invited by folk singer Carolyn Hester to play on harmonica on her album. This helped Dylan to sing contract with Columbia Records (John Hammond from that recording company listened him during recording Hester's album).
In 1962 he changed his name to Robert Dylan and signed contract with Albert Grossman, who was his manager to 1970.
The second album was recorded in 1963, its name was The Freewheeling' Bob Dylan. Bob presented himself as singer and songwriter. Many songs from this album were protest songs, the most famous was Blowin'in the Wind. Apropos, this album inspired also The Beatles.
Other famous songs from that album were A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall and Lord Randall. Dylan had been introduced as singer with accompanied acoustic guitar.
Bob didn't train his voice and his voice had unusual sound, it was that why he was different from other singers.
He met Joan Baez, who became his lover and advocate. She helped him with career. Some other interprets (The Turtles, The Byrds, The Hollies, etc.) singed and recorded his songs, but nobody coudn't sing his songs like himself.
In 1963 he engaged in civil rights movement, he sing at rallies, he presented on BBC television. In the same year he had conflict with media: He recorded new album, The Times They Are a-Changin' (famous songs were Ballad of Hollis Brown, North Country Blues, Boots of Spanish Leather, One Too Many Mornings, Brechtian, The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol, etc.).
Next album (Another Side of Bob Dylan) was already next year. In this album you can feel rock and roll came to dominate in his music. He moved from folk scene to rock and roll. Also he changed his look and wardrobe.
Year 1965 was very rich on his activities: He started to use electric guitar. He recorded album Bringing It All Back Home, single Subterranean Homesick Blues, music video Don’t Look Back. He went to tour in England, recorded album B side, with maybe one of the most known song Mr. Tambourine Man, he had controversial presentation in Newport, other single (Like a Rolling Stone – got No 2 in US and No 4 in UK charts).
This song Like a Rolling Stone became number one on Rolling Stone magazine of its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
In 1966 Dylan agreed to record in Nashville (also Nashville is name of the city. Who doesn't know, Nashville is like Mecca of country music). Here had met great sessions, which produced the album Blonde on Blonde.
Many critics say three albums from 60's (Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde) were great cultural achievements of that century.
Year 1965 was successful not only in Dylan's professional life, but also in private. He married Sara Lownds.
Next year he traveled on world tour in Europe and Australia, when every his shows consisted of two parts – in the first he singed and played on acoustic guitar and harmonica, in the second backed by band The Hawks he singed and played high voltage electric music.
In this year, his first child Jesse Byron Dylan was born.
After tour he returned to US, especially to New York. The pressures on him increased, his manager had to prepared schedule of new concert tour, his publisher waited for his manuscript of novel. This period was hard for him, accordingly he had motorcycle crash and he broke several vertebrae in his neck. This accident showed him, what is important in his life and got change to leave that pressures for 18 months.
During this time he resumed his work, he started to edit his film from his tour in 1966, recorded with The Hawks many of his old and new songs. Many of these songs were compiled in five CD The Genuine Basement Tapes.
The Hawks renamed to The Band and recorded independent album Music from Big Pink and started their own successful career.
In October 1967 Bob Dylan returned to Nashville and recorded his first album after motorcycle accident. The name was John Wesley Harding.
Twenty month after Woody Guthrie death (on October 3, 1967), Bob made live concert at Guthrie memory.
The album Nashville Skyline brought duet with Johnny Cash and the hit single Lay Lady Lay.

He inspired by his unique music, where he is interpret, author, guitar player, player on electronic mouth harmonica and strange looks in same time. A lot of interprets was inspired by him. Thanks to him, phenomenal guitar player Jim Hendrix decided to start sing. He inspired Mick Jagger,Madonna and Michael Jackson, in folk style for example Joan Baez, band Frames.
Somebody say, Bob Dylan has croaking voice, which nourish soft poetry. When he sing, sometimes he doesn’t finished some phrases and started with another and he does it again and again. He switches between sing, harmonica and other instruments.
Same as Chuck Berry, Bob swing rock’n roll authors, interprets and bands (Beatles, Jim Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Donovan, etc.).
His origin name is Robert Allen Zimmerman. (My uncle is Zimmerman too, but I don’t think that Bob Dylan is my family. It’s only small interest.)
He spent his childhood in Duluth and Hibbing. During his youth, he listened much time the radio, blues and country stations, later rock and roll. During the study in high school, he formed the music band named The Shadow Blasters. The band has short life, but his next band named The Golden Chords played popular songs.
Bob registered at University in Minnesota in 1959. His words about his beginning in folk music: "The first thing that turned me onto folk singing was Odetta. I heard a record of hers in a record store. Right then and there, I went out and traded my electric guitar and amplifier for an acoustical guitar, a flattop Gibson. The thing about rock'n roll is that for me anyway it wasn't enough... There were great catch phrases and driving pulse rhythms...but the songs weren't serious or didn't reflect life in a realistic way. I knew, that when I got into folk music, it was more of a serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more despair, more sadness, more triumph, more faith in the supernatural, much deeper feelings."
He started to interested in Dinky town folk music. With local folk enthusiasts. During this day he introduced himself as Bob Dylan. Why this name? The name Dylan came from name of Dylan Thomas, who was poet. Every time I thought, Bob is derivate from the name Robert, but it isn't true. Bob is from popular music in that time, there were Bobbies.
He finished his college in the end of freshman year and started to work in Minneapolis.

They are representative of classic country music. The beginning of legend band history is in December 1967. The first name was Greenes, later Bluegrass Hoppers. The basic arrangement was: Pavel Brűmer, Jan Turek and Karel Poláček. They all were young chemists. The first public show was in one nursery, where children play old traditional about girl with name Susan. In 1968-1970 they were very successful in Porta. They debuted by live recording from Porta Jackson and studio recording Poslední veřejné oběšení v Západní Virginii and Lora. Both were singed by Jindra Šťáhlavský. In 1970 and 1972 band recorded two albums. In turning point 70’s, thanks to political pressure all music band with English names and wanted to present themselves, they had to change name to Czech. Bluegrass Hoppers was in same situation. And from that time we can meet Fešáci (Loverboys). The legend say, that one day Pavel Brűmer stayed in front of mirror and he came with new name. The most famous period came after the first selection of the band Greenhorns in 1974. In this time some famous people came to Fešáci, such as Petr Novotný, Michal Tučný and Tomáš Linka. Under management of Petr Novotný, the band recorded the first album Ostrov Fešáků. Till today there were very popular songs Matterhorn, Jaro, Dárek vánoční and Já tajně cvičím. In the same time the band changed general band sound, which turned more to modern country music. Evidence of it are songs Paní má se má, Jaro, Sundej z hodin závaží or Zvony. Great asset had been coming of two gagmen – Jozef Mladý and Jozef Alois Náhlovský in 1982, and the band started with cyclic show Salon Fešáků. They recorded album Pošta Fešáci 1. Two years later, there came also the first ladies – Hana Mladá and Hana Horecká, and in 1985 Tomáš Linka leave the band to open his solo way and he established the band Kanafas. After Velvet Revolution in 1989 (There was finish of comunists in Czechoslovakia) the band came with total new album, Hviezda Countryon (famous song are Allways On My Mind, Lady, Balím a odcházím, Duhové znamení) and celebrated their 20’s anniversary. The main person on this album is Pavel Brűmer (Komedie plná omylů, Amanda, Hvězda Countryon, Komedianti nestárnou). Fešáci introduced new members as Jindra Malík, Miloš Slezák, Erika Řičicová and present bandmaster Antonín Kny. In the same year, the band had success with experiment - 12 hours marathon – Fešácky maratón. There came about 25 thousand people. As celebration of their 25 years existention, they created big show – galaconcert in Prague with about 1000 artists. The top was show of Emmylou Harris in Czech. 30-years they celebrated by tour through Australia and recorded annual album Fešáci 30 let. They made more concert in Czech and also one in Slovakia. I was on two concerts. They were great. Many famous songs, many funny skits. Just great atmosphere. From Australia they bring many themes for new songs and in 1998 new album with these songs was recorded. Labels: Country, Czech, Fešáci, Folk, Greenhorns, legend, Michal Tucny, music band
This band has already been popular a few tenth years. And only a few bands had so many past members as it. Everybody in this area know names as Michal Tučný, Tomáš Linka, Petr Novotný, Pavel Brűmer, Hanka Horecká, etc.
Next album Saloon Fešáků brought famous songs such as Kamaráde, pusť ten kolotoč, Sundej z hodin závaží, Dávej vinu dálkám, Svítá ve tvých tvářích. In the same year, the band got award Gold Porta.
The third album Fešáci 2000, besides with songs Paní má se má, Dialog 2000, came in the time, when Michal Tučný decides to leave the band and started solo career (he established the band Tučňáci).
The members in that time were:
Karel Poláček – guitar, sing
Jan Turek – violin, sing
Pavel Brűmer – 5-strings banjo
František Pátek – autoharp, dobro
Robert Moucha – bassguitar, sing
In this membership the band went to tour through US in 1980.
In 1992, from band exit Petr Novotný, who was many years the bandmaster, later also duo gagmen, Mladý - Náhlovský. It was hard shot. Some members came back to sing with band again (Tomáš Linka, Jindra Šťáhlavský) and after exit Erika Kahounová and Blanka Šurková, the band was again band with only men members.
