Written by Gary Allen
Americana roots rocker and singer songwriter Kenn Morr
may not stand out in a crowd yet, but he is writing songs
that could become part of American musical culture. As
the drummer with JJ Cale, these songs sounded pleasantly
familiar poetically and the delivery sincere, and as irresistible
as the reluctant legend from Tulsa himself. I sense the same
humility and musical integrity in him as Cale, who retains a
quiet on stage demeanor that allows the music to speak for
itself. We also have crossed paths with Kenn on his musical
journey with legendary producer Bob Johnston, who
recorded my former boss, Charlie Daniels
on Dylan's Nashville recordings. He has also been compared
to Leonard Cohen who took Daniels on his first European
tour years before we made a name for ourselves.
Kenn plays guitar, piano, mandolin, lap steel, harmonica and
has even produced himself in his own home studio. He pulled
off an impressive first runnerup status in my Sonicbids
"Best Song In The World Competition", and this round
was stiff as Richard Nixon. Humble and well grounded,
he may back peddle the notion, but his songs rate up there
with tunes from Music City's finest writers. The Connecticut

troubadour has the rare ability to chart what appears to be familiar territory but taking a fresh new
path. His latest CD Move On, is unique, the lyrics universal and his vocal delivery comparable to
Gordon Lightfoot and Tom Petty at the top of their game. Kenn's vocal patterns are guarded,
genuine, original and intriguing. He seems to have an unending well of melodies that echo purpose
and evoke deep thought and a well balanced laid back approach to life and song. I appreciate an
unconventional style with conviction; Kenn along with his band are a pleasant and interesting
combination. The songs from his fourth CD Move On, are honest and personal and seem to be
from a kindler gentler place than where we live today. It takes masterful lyrics and thought
provoking topics to take the audience on that trip.Kenn has an eclectic style that successfully
blends jazz, rock, country, folk and countless other colors. I first saw Kenn on YouTube, and
flashed back to seeing a young Donovan opening for Yes. Donovan also trekked back and forth to
Nashville in the early days and cut several singles on small labels before radio gave him the
proverbial nod. Kenn is radio ready, now he has to let radio jump on his bandwagon. JJ Cale says
do what you do best and let your audience come around to you. I will advise Kenn to enjoy the
family and the mountain foothill scenery before record companies and promoters start pounding on
his door with corporate sponsored deals and a year long itinerary. The power to realize your
dreams are in your hands and in your songs. If you follow the music, all the rest will follow.
Congratulations and much success. Artists of your caliber is what makes it all worthwhile for me to
participate and throw in my two cents!

DOCUMENTING THE
PLAY IT AGAIN JAM
By Pat Adams - TennesseeConcerts
In 2006, we at Tennessee Concerts
began documenting the Play It Again
Jam shortly after it began. The jam took
place at a recording studio near the
Nashville Fairgrounds.
We took pictures at all of the jams, then
posted the pictures on
www.tennesseeconcerts.com. The
pictures continued through 2007 until
the jam changed locations, although
we did manage to get two music videos
from the original location before moving
the jam (both Thin Lizzy songs).
The new jam at Windows Off The
Cumberland started in late 2008. We
began to shoot music videos of the jam
and feature the best videos every month
on Tennessee Concerts and YouTube.
The jam eventually moved again, this
time to the Elysian Inn in August of
2009. We continue to shoot videos,
posting the best videos and pictures.
Now that we are going into 2010, we
will continue to post just as much video
each month as is included in a
30-minute television show.. We have
hours of music videos posted already,
along with hundreds of posted pictures.
You can watch the videos one after
another on our own
TennesseeConcerts TV.
In the future we hope to eventually
broadcast the Jam live on the world
wide internet. See our pictures & videos
posted on each monthly jam page.

Buying the Beatle
albums again?
By TennesseeConcerts
Editor Pat Adams.
Written on December 24, 2009
Since the early 1960's, I have been buying
Beatles albums on LP's, tapes and CD's. I find
myself buying the albums once again; this
time on newly remastered CD's. My first of
these newly remastered Beatles CD's is "With
The Beatles," a Christmas present to myself.
The British version of "With The Beatles"
has many of the same songs as the American
version "Meet The Beatles," which was the
first Beatles music I ever listened to as a kid.
I can remember my brother and I taking our
"Meet The Beatles" album with us when
visiting my grandparents at their Belle Meade
home, shortly after buying it in 1964. After
playing it on my grandmothers old Victrola
(as she called it), I can't help but remember
my grandfather complaining that The Beatles
were singing the same lyrics over and over. He
also swore the Beatles were wearing wigs,
refusing to think that men could have hair that
long. My grandmother was a little more
understanding of The Beatles. After all, she
was a pianist herself.
I was like millions of other kids caught up in
Beatlemania when "Meet The Beatles" came
out. Needless to say, we wore that album out.
In 1987, The Beatles albums were first
released on CD. Unfortunately, the first four
CD's were in mono on the original CD's,
including "With The Beatles." I plan to buy
these first four albums on the new remastered
Stereo CD's first. On "With The Beatles," I
can tell a huge difference between the mono
recordings from the original CD and the stereo
remastered recordings on the new CD. The
vocals and music are so much clearer and
crisper as well as the stereo separation of the
speakers. To me, that's about as good as it
gets when it comes to listening to good music.
I love my new CD. The liner notes tell you
about the recordings as well as who played
what instruments on what songs. Except for
the cover picture, the pictures in the insert are
rare pictures of The Beatles. This CD, as well
as all of the new remastered CD's includes a
mini-documentary on the making of the
album, narrated by John, Paul, George, Ringo
and George Martin. These are enhanced
files for playing in your computer.
Unfortunately my grandparents are no longer
around for me to drive crazy with the latest
versions of these songs, so now I drive my
grandkids crazy with them. Just kidding, I
have no grandkids, and if I did, they had
better be Beatles fans. So no matter how
many times you have bought the Beatles
albums, I suggest you buy them just one more
time. Relive these songs as you've never heard
them before. If "With The Beatles" is any
indication of how well the new Beatles

albums again?
By TennesseeConcerts
Editor Pat Adams.
Written on December 24, 2009
Since the early 1960's, I have been buying
Beatles albums on LP's, tapes and CD's. I find
myself buying the albums once again; this
time on newly remastered CD's. My first of
these newly remastered Beatles CD's is "With
The Beatles," a Christmas present to myself.
The British version of "With The Beatles"
has many of the same songs as the American
version "Meet The Beatles," which was the
first Beatles music I ever listened to as a kid.
I can remember my brother and I taking our
"Meet The Beatles" album with us when
visiting my grandparents at their Belle Meade
home, shortly after buying it in 1964. After
playing it on my grandmothers old Victrola
(as she called it), I can't help but remember
my grandfather complaining that The Beatles
were singing the same lyrics over and over. He
also swore the Beatles were wearing wigs,
refusing to think that men could have hair that
long. My grandmother was a little more
understanding of The Beatles. After all, she
was a pianist herself.
I was like millions of other kids caught up in
Beatlemania when "Meet The Beatles" came
out. Needless to say, we wore that album out.
In 1987, The Beatles albums were first
released on CD. Unfortunately, the first four
CD's were in mono on the original CD's,
including "With The Beatles." I plan to buy
these first four albums on the new remastered
Stereo CD's first. On "With The Beatles," I
can tell a huge difference between the mono
recordings from the original CD and the stereo
remastered recordings on the new CD. The
vocals and music are so much clearer and
crisper as well as the stereo separation of the
speakers. To me, that's about as good as it
gets when it comes to listening to good music.
I love my new CD. The liner notes tell you
about the recordings as well as who played
what instruments on what songs. Except for
the cover picture, the pictures in the insert are
rare pictures of The Beatles. This CD, as well
as all of the new remastered CD's includes a
mini-documentary on the making of the
album, narrated by John, Paul, George, Ringo
and George Martin. These are enhanced
files for playing in your computer.
Unfortunately my grandparents are no longer
around for me to drive crazy with the latest
versions of these songs, so now I drive my
grandkids crazy with them. Just kidding, I
have no grandkids, and if I did, they had
better be Beatles fans. So no matter how
many times you have bought the Beatles
albums, I suggest you buy them just one more
time. Relive these songs as you've never heard
them before. If "With The Beatles" is any
indication of how well the new Beatles
remastered CD's sound, I give it a thumbs up.
I will be reviewing the rest of The Beatles
newly remastered CD's as I buy them in the
coming year. Pat Adams

Country Legend
Carl Smith Dies At 82
Monday, January 18th, 2010 |
Author: admin
Country Music Hall of Fame
member Carl Smith, one of the
genre’s most successful singers and
entertainers during the 1950’s, died
Saturday (Jan. 16) at his home in
Franklin, Tenn. He was 82.
Smith was so long out of the
spotlight — enjoying what was for
most stars of his generation an early,
atypical and genteel retirement —
many began to wonder if younger
CMA electors would ever induct
him into the Country Music Hall of
Fame. When they finally did in
2003, Smith’s few seconds back on
national TV consisted of a silent
smile and wave to his well-deserved
standing ovation.
In 1977, the year he turned 50,
Smith retired from the grind of
recording sessions and personal
appearances and thereafter enjoyed
life as a gentleman farmer and horse
breeder on his ranch. After this, he
resolutely avoided contact with the
music industry he’d helped to build,
in spite of the fact that both his
wives and his first child were
also well-known entertainers.
He was married to June Carter from
1952 until 1957, and their daughter,
Carlene Carter, gained prominence
as a singer-songwriter during the
late ’70s. His subsequent marriage
to country singer Goldie Hill began
in September 1957 and lasted until
her death in February 2005. Hill was
the mother of his last three children,
Lorri Lynn, Carl Jr. and Larry Dean,
none of whom sought a career as a
performer.
