Charlie Louvin, Bob Wayne, Lucky, More to Muddy Roots
The Muddy Roots Festival happening this September 3rd & 4th in Cookeville, TN has just announced a new slew of names to their lineup, and they might be just as impressive as the initial list. Marquee names for me were the country music throwback and hillbilly royalty blood of Lucky Tubb and his Modern Day Troubadours and the Outlaw Carnie Bob Wayne (who you can now stream his latest record from in its entirety for a Facebook request).
But the one name that makes me awe struck, and humbled, and proud to see on this list, is Country Music Hall of Famer, Charlie Louvin. It made me appreciate the gravity of everything going on here, whether it is Muddy Roots, or the various discussions that transpire on Saving Country Music. What we are fighting for is the preservation of the old while forging the new, and having him on board just adds a layer of legitimacy and importance to the whole thing. I’m getting shivers right now thinking of a Hall of Famer and a Grand Ole Opry legend walking out on that Muddy Roots stage to a standing ovation of a generation that makes it an imperative to remember the contributions of a man like Charlie.
The rest of the additions can be seen below, but I also want to alert everyone that the biggest headliner of Muddy Roots 2011 has yet to be announced, and will not be announced for quite some time. And all I can say boys and girls, is that if you have any ability to be there in September, it will be worth your time. When I heard who it was, I had to take out a spatula to scrape my jaw off the floor. If you’re worried that this lineup is a little too this, or a little too that for your taste and wish there was another big name to help seal the deal, this will be it, trust me.

I believe I can speak for both Miller and myself and cast votes for Aaron Lewis…he is the ultimate American…

If Aaron Lewis played at Muddy Roots terrorism would be defeated.

If Aaron Lewis played at Muddy Roots, a chorus of bald eagles would descend upon us all and sing the National Anthem…

I was sold three weeks ago, and made the arrangements. I’m more sold now. And I imagine when the big name is dropped I will be even more sold. Can’t wait for Labor Day weekend!

Goddamn it. I wish I had definite plans for September. If I’m not busy stomping around north of the Artic circle, I will be in Tennessee.

Are there gonna be two stages like last year? With this many acts, I would assume there would have to be.
Aran

There’s two stages. They show it on the map on their home page: http://www.muddyrootsmusic.com/festival.html

Every time the list grows it just gets more and more amazing. The wife and I are gonna do what ever it takes to get us there. It will be a late honeymoon for us, and we can’t think of a better way to spend it.

Geez, Tracy….got your full lineup there!! That’s awesome. I gotta figure out a way to get there…since the divorce will be finalized this month, I suppose I won’t have to deal with anybody’s schedule but my own!

Do it! Celebrate having that **** over at Muddy Roots and Camp Crusty! I don’t need to tell you the music will be worth it, and I probably don’t need to tell you there will be some fine fine folks to enjoy the music with. But I just did anyway! Good luck with it all Drew.

Look I only got through track 8 and have to say Outlaw Carnie just may be a musical masterpiece in real country storytellin’.
Is that III on track 3? And you sure got fast in Alabama!

If anyone could tell me also if the album Generations by Lucky Tubb is remastered older songs or what? Thankyoukindly!
Gillian

I think I know what you mean. It first came out in 03 but the last year (?) a remastered version was released.
Denise
January 23, 2011 @ 7:47 am
Oh ok, thank you Gillian!

Charlie deserves that respect from Muddy Roots Festival to be playing.
It’s part of why I love what Muddy Roots does….despite health issues
is a mediocore statement Trigger.
And I’ll be there with bells on!
Not just because of Charlie but all of it!
The Opry would not be the same without him…..

Well said Gary.

Heads up- ‘Smokestack and the Foothill Fury’ is the name of a one man band, not two seperate bands. Seen him open for the Goddamn Gallows. Great List!
