Biography

by Mark Deming

A singer/songwriter whose eclectic body of work has embraced both retro-styled honky tonk and tough, bluesy lyrical introspections, Jann Browne is an artist with the talent to craft a mainstream success — and the guts and integrity to walk away from Nashville when she grew uncomfortable with the music industry.

Jann Browne was raised in Indiana and developed a taste for country music from her grandparents, who were members of a square dancing troupe that often performed at bluegrass festivals. However, Browne's own musical impulses leaned more toward rock & roll and blues, and as a teenager she began performing with local rock bands. In the late '70s, Browne pulled up stakes and moved to California, where she began writing and performing new songs with a stronger country influence. After a brief stint as a vocalist with Asleep at the Wheel, Browne moved to Nashville, and her material caught the ear of an A&R executive at Curb Records; in 1990, Browne was signed to the label and she released her debut album, Tell Me Why, that same year. Tell Me Why was a surprise success, spawning two hit singles, "Tell Me Why" and "You Ain't Down Home," and earned Browne a nomination as Female Vocalist of the Year by the Academy of Country Music. However, Browne — a maverick who felt at home with such off-mainstream country & western artists as Emmylou Harris and Iris DeMent, both of whom have recorded with her — very soon discovered she had little taste for the politics of the major-label music industry. After her second album, 1991's Only When I Laugh, failed to sell as well as her debut, she opted out of her contract with Curb and moved back to California. Browne still had a substantial audience in Australia and Europe, and in 1995, she recorded her third album, Count Me In, for Red Moon Records, an independent label in Europe (it later received an American release from the independent Cross Three label). The album displayed a rawer sound that had more to do with blues and rock than mainstream country, and while it didn't find a large audience in the United States, it won a number of enthusiastic reviews and re-established Browne as a singer/songwriter with a sharp and distinctive vision. For her fourth album, 2001's Missed Me by a Mile, Browne continued to re-assert her independence by co-producing the album herself, and releasing it in America on her own label, Plan B Records.

"You gotta peel a few taters & mop a few floors"
by
Lonnie Ratliff

I suppose one of the things I have never understood about some singers is how unprepared they are to actually be singers. They will practice singing and playing their guitar for hours on end but that is where they seem to think it should all end. You ask them about even the most basic element of how to run their business as a singer and you get the classic "I'm not interested in the business part I just wanna sing" answer. Well let me tell you, Nashville is full of people getting rich off these singers who are not interested in the business side of music. This type artist is also the one who wastes more time looking for a manager than it would take to learn how to manage themselves. My answer to anyone who says they need to find a manager has always been "manage that" ? ?
If you're not making any money or been approached by a major label wanting to sign you then there is nothing to manage.
.
I always look at the music business like I would any other business. You start out by doing everything yourself and you only hire other people when you can afford them. If you are the best cook in the county and decide to open a restuarant but you are on a shoe string budget then you have to do everything yourself. You've got to cook all the meals which you love to do but you also have to mop the floors and peel the taters, kinda sucks. If you want to have a succesful restaurant some day there is no way around it because you have no extra money to pay tater peelers & floor moppers. One good thing you will learn from this is that once everyone in the county figures out how good a cook you are your cafe will be packed for dinner every evening. Then and only then you can then afford to hire some help. When you hang that "Help Wanted" sign in the cafe window you will already know how long it should take to peel a peck of taters and you will have learned that you have to change the water in the mop bucket a few times to get the floor good and clean. With this insider information you are now gonna know who is a good floor mopper or tater peeler when they ask you for a job just by talking to them and when you do hire someone they will be an asset who will help your business, not bankrupt it.
.
Just like the restuarant business or any other business It isn't easy to learn all one needs to know and the smart ones will keep on learning as long as they are in the business. That knowledge they pick up will be reflected in their success. You can't make a couple of phone calls or read an article and figure it all out in one afternoon but you can figure it out eventually. It's not rocket science. You are just singing songs and entertaining folks who already like music and by now you already figured out that you can sing. All you gotta do now is turn that into a career instead of an expensive hobby.
Always keep in mind that most of the people you know probably hate their jobs. If you can figure out how to make a living singing you will be one of the lucky ones who can spend a lifetime doing something they love. That should be worth peelin' a few taters and moppin' a few floors. Just set your mind to figuring out how the business side of your music career works.
.
As that famous "Okie" Will Rogers once said there are three ways to learn how to do something. Some will learn by reading books, some will learn by watching what others do and there will be those who just have to piss on the electric fence to figure it out. I guess in the end it doesn't matter how you learn as long as you learn.

This is great for overseas artists so check it out

Getting that Nashville Sound without ever leaving home.

AKA things Lonnie does to keep from getting a real job.

First let me say that this is just an economical alternative and not quite as good as coming to Nashville in person and nowhere near as much fun. That being said we are all aware that circumstance and money often dictate our lives a lot more than we would like and a trip to Music City may just be out of the question for one reason or another. With that in mind I decided to write this little article to make artists aware of some of the options that I have, as a record producer, made available. I will just list the basics and if you have any questions you can contact me. NashvilleShowcase@comcast.net

Keep in mind that I record with a live Nashville session band and do not use drum machines or have one musician play all the parts. I also do not use pitch adjusters to change the keys. All tracks are real and played by session players.

Lease an original song music track. $250

1. The cheapest option is just lease one of the tracks I already have available of my original songs. These cost $250 for each song and include a mechanical license making it legal for you to put the song on your CD and sell up to 1000 CD's royalty free. You can also sing the song in contests such as American Idol, Colgate Country Showdown or Nashville Star. You can release the song to radio on a compilation CD if you like, you can post the song on your MYSPACE website and you can even sell downloads on the Internet at i-Tunes, CDBABY, Napster etc! and you keep all the money for the first 1000 downloads. This is an excellent deal and a lot of artists just lease one of my tracks when they need to get something out to radio or their fans while they are working on their next CD. This is also a good way to add a couple of songs to your next CD and save a little money.

How it works: Go to my lease song website at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=649173

Browse through the 4 Pages of songs I have available and if you find something you like in your key contact me and make arrangments for payment. I take credit cards through PayPal or you can send me a check. After I receive payment I will send you a CD with the music track on it. You take this into your local recording studio or a good home studio and put your final vocals and harmony on it and bingo you got your original song. (Note: I also have a few cover tunes available you will notice and the same deal goes for them including a Mechanical License - I just take part of the money you pay me for the lease and go to Harry Fox and purchase a license in YOUR NAME and send it to you.)

Drawbacks: On these $250 song leases you are stuck with the key I recorded the song in and the final mix I made (You cannot turn up the guitar, fiddle etc!) These are just like the Carrie Underwood karaoke tracks you buy to sing along with down at the karaoke bar except these songs will be original and you will have written permission to use them as if they are your own.

===============================================================================================

Lease an original song (Custom) music track. $350 per song

This works just like the lease above except you are choosing songs from my songwriter catalog which is much larger. There are about 90 songs there (4 pages on the website)

On this deal you just pick the song you want and I go cut you a new track of that song so you tell me what key you want it recorded in and if you want to replace some instrument on the track just tell me. (example I can use a saxophone on your track instead of the steel guitar that is on the original demo) this song is being recorded for you so just tell me what you want.

How it works: Go to my Songwriter website at: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=392838

Just find a song you like and contact me:

================================================================================================

Cover Tunes: So you have heard an Alan Jackson, Tammy Wynette, Garth Brooks or Taylor Swift tune you like and want to lease a music track in your key. I can record one for you and get you a Mechanical License in your name so you have all legal rights to use it for $350 to $450 depending on the Mechanical License you need.

================================================================================================

Track for a Song you wrote: $450

================================================================================================

Note from Lonnie = I am not in the business to cheat anyone so you can feel comfortable working with me. Just GOOGLE www.google.com Lonnie Ratliff Nashville Record Producer and also feel free to contact anyone I have worked with. I know a lot of the younger artists do not understand all the terminology in the music business and will have questions. If you are spending money with me and we are working together I will answer any questions you have. I will never take advantage of anyones lack of knowledge to make myself a few extra bucks. I figure if I treat you right you will keep doing business with me and that goes along with my plan of not having to get a "Real Job".

Brit Lyng (Norway)

Norwegian country singer Brit Lyng teams up with Nashville record producer Lonnie Ratliff on her sophomore CD "Good Morning Nashville" and the end results will most likely help her carve herself a nice niche near the top of the Scandinavian country music scene.

http://www.myspace.com/britlyng

Ron Wayne Atwood

Many of the Lonnie Ratliff produced CD "Oh Susanna" tracks have ‘honky-tonk’ stamped on them. This down-home anthology of country-dance ballads of everyday themes is resplendent in traditional styles of guitar, steel and fiddle and such. Ron painstakingly manipulates the whole audio project awash with the best of what we have come to know as honky-tonk.

Lonnie's "Spotlight Songs"

"Mirror! Mirror! (On The Wall)"

Mirror! Mirror! (On The Wall) is a song I wrote with Gidget Baird http://www.woodenstonemusic.com/index2.html when I first moved to Nashville to pursue the songwriting dream. The title is taken from the old "Snow White" fairy tale. Although everyone seemed to like the song and Charley Pride's publishing company owned half of the copyright so we were able to pitch it around music row we were the victims of the world's worst timing. The band Diamond Rio released a song written by (Bob DiPiero/John Jarrard/Mark D. Sanders) about the time we started pitching our song that had the identical title. Although the titles were the only thing the two songs had in common Diamond Rio's release pretty much killed our chances of a major cut at the time.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You and I've been through it all
I know that I can turn to you
And you will always tell the truth

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You've seen me proud you've seen me crawl
You seem to read between the lines
Should we trust my heart this time

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I think that we're about to fall
Mirror, mirror tell me true
Is he the one for me and you

Mirror, mirror on the wall
He's not the fairest of them all
But he's got something they can't see
One look at him and you'll agree

(Break)

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I think that we're about to fall
Mirror, mirror tell me true
Is he the one for me and you

Mirror, mirror on the wall
He's not the fairest of them all
Mirror, mirror tell me true
That he's the one for me and you
Mirror, mirror yes it's true
He's the one for me and you

==================================================================
I got the idea for "Omaha" from talking to Garth Brooks one night out at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. It was an Oklahoma songwriters themed night and every Okie in town was crowded into the place from Gail Davies to Sheb Wooley. I think that either Joe Diffie or Kevin Welch was on stage singing and the owner Amy Kurland was trying to keep a room full of "Okies" quiet which is pretty much akin to herding cats.
Garth had just signed with Capitol and I knew him from working with him at our studio so we were over in the corner talking. He had just got back in off the road where he had been opening about 20 small shows in 30 days all over the United States for some act. I believe it was Patty Loveless. I asked how he liked being out on the road so much and he just laughed and said "Sometimes this being a star ain't all it's cracked up to be". I never thought anything about it at the time but a week or so later I got to thinking about it and came up with the idea of fabricating a love interest into his story and I got with Mac Elsensohn and we wrote "Omaha"

" Omaha "

Omaha

Tomorrow I'm playing a concert in London
Parties and talk shows and long limousines
Now I've put some miles between me and Oklahoma
Not bad for a country boy but It ain't all It seems

Alice got married and moved to Nebraska
And we're still as close as two friends can be
I send her postcards from faraway places
She sends me pictures of her kids and family

Married, two kids, livin' in Omaha
When I think of her world mine seems so small
Now I've got a lot but she's got it all
Married, two kids and livin' in Omaha

Tomorrow I'll mail her a postcard from London
Saying, "Wish you were here" and Lord she could of been
Well she'd never trade her world for London
But sometimes I dream of the way it might of been

This is the craziest thing I've seen in a long time.
For those of you in the 21st century (e.g. blackberry
owners), you'll need to look at this on a pc. You also
have to get out of your seat and walk away from
your computer.

When you look at this picture in a
closer look you see its?Albert Einstein.

Excerpt from the forthcoming book The Wordweaver
Sharecropper’s Rose
By
Lonnie Ratliff

Clayton pulled his car over to the side of the narrow paved road as far as he could and as he stepped out he looked up and down the road and walked around the car to see if there was enough clearance there for another vehicle to get by, just on the outside chance that one should come by on this lonesome Oklahoma stretch of blacktop. He decided he was probably far enough off to the side that someone could squeak by on the outside, if they happened to be coming this way. He hadn’t passed anyone in either direction since he turned North off highway 3 between Atoka and Antlers on to the Miller Road.
.
That drive East from Atoka had brought back a flood of memories,
especially as he passed the Atoka Pushmataha county line where the old Darwin store had stood in 1954. He and his little brother had walked three miles from another one of the little shotgun shacks in this area that they had lived in. They had taken the quarter their mom had given him and bought a quart of kerosene for the kerosene lamp the family used for light for a dime, two soda pops for six cents each, and three cents worth of penny candy. A pretty good haul for a quarter compared to what twenty five cents would buy today.
.
This highway was filled with a lifetime of memories but Clayton was able to just let them fly by like trailers from a movie, until he came to the Darwin cemetery. He slowed down a little as he glanced out across that field of stone and thought about pulling into the cemetery, but decided that although it was something he would have to deal with eventually, he could put off that meeting with the ghosts of his
past until a later date after he had reinforced himself with a few more pleasant memories from his past. Maybe it would be best to save it until he was leaving Pushmataha county for what he was sure would more than likely be the last time.
.
Clayton had pulled off the side of Miller road right where the entrance to the old Tarkington place had been. Back then it had been an old run down cattle guard and but now there was a gate complete with a chain and lock. He glanced up to where the house had once stood and nothing remained but a fallen down chimney and a bunch of grown up weeds. This was where his family lived in 1965 when Clayton had graduated from high school. An old house with no electricity, no running water and an outhouse. A setting that would have fit right in with Steinbeck’s "Grapes of Wrath" was home sweet home back then. Clayton didn’t really see any reason to walk the fifty yards up to where the house had burned down
but he had already come this far so he decided to go ahead. He climbed over the locked gate and kicked around through the ancient rubble, even though he had no idea what he expected to find. He didn’t figure the new owners would care even if they happened by and besides they probably lived in Oklahoma City or Dallas anyway. It wasn’t like there was anything left to steal.
.
He walked into what he guessed would have been the living room, though he did not trust his memory enough that he would have bet any money on it. Lying half buried in the dirt was the charred remains of an old cap pistol that had been in the house when it had burned down. There was probably a pretty good chance that it had once
been a prized possesion of one of his little brothers. Then he saw the old burned out wooden kitchen stove where his mom had cooked many a meal. Since he remembered where it had set against the north wall of the kitchen he was able to orient himself, and all of a sudden he was back in the old home place, instead of standing in the middle of a cow pasture on the Miller road. Clayton just stood there as forty four years rolled away and he was once again a sixteen-year-old kid with his whole life ahead of him. He was still in this halfway hypnotic trance as he walked out the back of the house toward what once was the barn, passing by where the well used to be. There was the old tree where they had hung a hog they were butchering and he had hung a borrowed chain hoist to pull the motor out of his ’46 Ford pickup.
.
Clayton judged the distance to where he thought the barn would have been and sure enough he saw a few worn out cultivator plows and some pieces of chain to verify that this was indeed where the old barn had been. As he glanced around he realized that this was about all there was left of the old home place and soon time would even take that.
.
Clayton figured he might as well get back to the car and drive on to Antlers and drop in on his sister that he hadn’t seen in years. As he started walking back toward the car he noticed that he had drifted over to the right as he had walked past the old home site. He then remembered that this was where there used to be an old fence that separated the house from pasture, which had been rented to Jackie Greenwood to run his cattle.
.
There had been an old dirt road alongside the fence although all signs of the road were long gone; it was just instinct that had him walking where it had once been. Clayton walked to a point which would have been the corner of the yard when he saw it there. He froze
and stared in disbelief. There it was, somehow still alive and bravely fighting the battle of time. How could this be? The odds had to be astronomical, but against all odds out in the middle of what now was a pasture, was the rose bush his late Mother had planted in 1965. Clayton walked over to the rose bush and just sat down on the ground closed his eyes and let his life pass in review.
.
