Las Vegas Hosts Country Music Awards May 21, 4:50 PM EST If the casinos in this gambling town took wagers on the outcome, the smart money for Wednesday's Academy of Country Music Awards would be on Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney com The show, televised by CBS, moved to Las Vegas this year for the first time in the event's 38-year history Keith led with eight nominations, followed by Jackson with six and Chesney with five A certain Las Vegas touch: Wayne Newton as a presenter All were vying for entertainer, male vocalist, album, single and song of the year Trick Pony also had five nominations Willie Nelson was competing against himself in the vocal event category with three of the five nominations: "Beer for My Horses" with Keith, "Mendocino County Line" with Lee Ann Womack and "Whiskey River" with Trick Pony â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? http://www acmcountry (McEntire won the humanitarian award last year They were up for three awards â€â€? entertainer, album and vocal group â€â€? in what could serve as a barometer of how willing country music is to forgive lead singer Natalie Maines' criticism of President Bush and the war in Iraq ) The academy earlier announced that George Strait would receive the special achievement award and Alabama, the pioneer award The awards, hosted by Reba McEntire, were determined by the 3,000 members of the California-based academy, except for the humanitarian award, which is decided by fans The 19 acts scheduled to perform included the Dixie Chicks, a late addition appearing by satellite in their home town of Austin, Texas Sound checks during the tour provided a chance for the band to do a lot of writing: Maktub has dozens of unrecorded songs and plans to get back into the studio when they're done touring for the year "They're fairly unique," says their manager, Dave Meinert of Seattle-based Fuzed Music "Can I borrow a bowl?" It might be the first time in the history of Seattle music that the phrase has referred to a cereal bowl, rather than a marijuana pipe Behind the smooth power of Watts' voice, the quintet has launched its first national tour, beat out Pearl Jam in a weekly newspaper's vote for Seattle's best band and acquired the same booking agency used by Dave Matthews, who now lives in Seattle "It's flattering," says Watts, 31, who also released a solo album July 15 In addition to trying to make enough money to cover living expenses, Maktub has struggled to get radio play, at least partly due to a radio station climate that tends to discriminate against artists that can't be placed in a category "Now, that's destroyed Still, the band faces challenges Maktub Breaks Through With 'Heavy Soul' Jul 16, 11:51 AM EST A little after 1 p on a Tuesday, a cab pulls up at the home of Daniel Spils, keyboardist for Seattle "heavy soul" band Maktub Maktub relied heavily on the Internet to distribute its music Meanwhile, Maktub has defined a new sound for the city, which hasn't seen a band break out nationally since the days of Kurt Cobain and thrift-store flannel Initially, the band was the antithesis of grunge; it didn't even have a guitarist "You go to places like New York and play a sold-out show at the Tribeca Rock Club, and it gives you this whole new sense that the band has a pretty global appeal that before you didn't know how to gauge," Spils says As for where they'd like to go from here, band members cite a number of musicians who have succeeded without selling out: Radiohead, Peter Gabriel and Ben Harper, among others That changed after the release of the debut CD "Subtle Ways" in 1999 Turner helped Maktub explore a harder sound "I mean, it's not a lie, or something I would say no to m They're definitely influences com</p > "Hey man," he says to Spils Spils directs Watts to the kitchen, and you get the notion that such scenes might be characteristic of a band whose very existence seems random: Soul rockers from this mostly white land of no-foam lattes and post-grunge indie punk? Random or not, Maktub â€â€? pronounced "MOCK-toob," an Arabic expression of affirmation which loosely translates as "it is written" â€â€? has gained a lot of momentum in the past year with its new blend of soul, hard rock, R&B, dance-pop and acid jazz Maktub took an 18-month break, then re-formed with Spils and a guitarist, Thaddeus Turner, who has played with Brad, the side band of Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard " Along the way, Watts has drawn justified comparisons to some fantastic singers: soul legend Al Green and former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, to name the two cited most often And the band's first swing to the East Coast earlier this year, while touring with the band Soulive, provided some exposure and confidence â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www They're also a racially integrated band, which is unusual here Out steps lead singer Reggie Watts, bearing his impressive Afro, a box of Kellogg's and a carton of soy milk Last year Maktub released its second CD, "Khronos," which helped it win a spot on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" and sign with New York label Velour Records, which re-released the CD in April Everywhere you go you're getting the same meal The album has sold close to 20,000 copies, Meinert said, and for weeks it was the best-selling disc at independent record stores in the Northwest maktub "It's all about getting the music out there," Watts says " But the first song on Khronos, "You Can't Hide," has started getting spins on radio stations around the country that use a "noncommercial adult alternative" format "You used to be able to drive across the country and each town would be playing different music, based on their culture or what they like," Goldman says " Watts, bassist Kevin Goldman and drummer Davis Martin formed Maktub in 1996 "At the core, they're a soul band, but they're still from Seattle and have those rock influences The band was a product of the improvisational rhythm and blues, acid jazz and rap scenes that helped fill the void left by grunge rock in the mid-'90s |
