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.

"Maybe these dreams are leading me, maybe love is not as gentle as my memory"
This is one of the most touching verses in all history of music.
Cheryl wrote and performs a diamond of a song. The band backs her subtly and accompanys with perfection. That is how it is done, folks.
I agree with all of this
I agree with your agreement
This song haunts me every time I close my eyes.
Among the saddest, most beautiful, and truest songs I know. It's at the top of a very short list for me.
The older I get, the better writer she is. Damn.
Yep
Only the most true heart requires closed eyes to sing this song. Tears come to my eyes every time I get this.
Me too
Wow angelic voice
devastating song...nowhere to hide in this melody. Thank you Cheryl
This song and this woman. True gems.
Touching, flawless, beautiful
Achingly beautiful, romantic lyrics, brings tears, a knowing smile, and yearning for lovers from younger days. 🙏🏼
I was just listening to the album version of this song and figured the fiddle work was by Mark O'Connor. This song has always made a strong impression and the closing section is strikingly beautiful. I think Cheryl must be one of the most under-appreciated singers from this period. The whole album is great. Estate Sale is another favorite.
This link on TH-cam also reminded me how great the American Music Shop was, not just the guests but also the regular backing band. This was my introduction to Mark O'Connor and Jerry Douglas. For me this was some of the best live country music every recorded. Would love to see more of these posted.
Hauntingly beautiful. This performance deserves 1,000,000 likes.
Love your music, heart, and soul, Cheryl. Arrow is the first song I heard you sing, guess where...Timonium. A few years ago we attended your concert at Timonium Methodist, you are simply the best: super gifted, funny as heck, great storyteller, humanitarian, and the list goes on. Hope to see you in concert again soon.
It's a beautiful song, thank you. ❤
Beautiful song and voice
She has the most beautiful voice and from listening to her songs, her soul.
Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful voice.
Damn just Damn fantastic..
That’s too many Damns
I don't think it's enough damns...
I don't know how I missed this! What a gift! Thanks for posting!!!
I am obsessed with this song. I love the lyrics, the melody, Cheryl and the musicians. I think I've played it at least 100 times. Wish I had found out about her a long time ago. Would love to see her in concert.
simply beautiful.
I heard her perform this at the 2018 New Bedford Folkfest (and many other times). I'm amazed her voice keeps getting better over the the years.
Thank you for posting. Cheryl is a great singer and guitarist. This song is about fantasy and reality. The fiddler is awesome too.
Love this type of music. I could listen to her all night.. especially around a campfire.
Gee, I remember when this song burst through the folk airwaves how many years ago. What a beautiful song, now and then. I won't let so many years go by this time...
So, so beautiful......
So very Wonderful ✨
Love it!
❤
Love her. Thanks for posting! Oh, love you too!!
Just mind-blowing amazing

One of the best !!

"Oh I remember you in the TV light"
OMG!
My All Time Favorite 😢
Underrated
Cheryl such a pup. Same gal. love ya!
💘
This is the singer that reminds me of u😊
This is my boy , my dead.but live dog, Arrow
Is there a recording of this performance
Great song, I prefer the version by Melanie Safka though
Of course it is a matter of taste, but I took your advice an listened to Ms. Safka's version. For me, the deeper tone and quick vibrato (a bit like Dolly Parton) do not work as well for this song, which is SO lyrical, light, and direct. I would like to hear Miley Cyrus cover this song just out of curiosity.
Oh no no no .... Cheryle's pure, clear voice is necessary for the magic of this song! The other felt forced and somehow intrusive on the delicacy of the song.
