, for Nashville when he was just 18 " That Opry show was a career marker for Nichols Somehow, the combination clicked "We love you Joe," several shout in unison When Nichols made his Grand Ole Opry debut in March 2002, his father, only 46, was at the side of the stage "A lot of people say making the second album after a successful first is pretty scary," he said Young women, old women, teens, preteens â€â€? they all stream to the front with cameras We'd already proven ourselves with one album, and as long as we keep doing the same thing I think we'll be OK Nichols, a tall guy with long dark hair and a hoop earring, cracks a joke about bringing his fan club along and then puts his deep voice to Merle Haggard's "The Farmer's Daughter The album flopped (Nichols says now he was too green) and he kicked around Nashville playing clubs and working a series of odd jobs, including bartender, cable guy, UPS truck loader and, for one day, door-to-door steak salesman "It just reflects my life at this time more than anything I've heard," he said 1 His follow-up "Revelation," released Tuesday, continues the hard country sound but with a more somber tone â€â€? a reaction, he says, to his father's death from a rare lung disease in 2002 " But his thoughts are most apparent in the closing track, Iris DeMent's "No Time to Cry," about a musician who is too busy, or unwilling, to grieve for his dead father "After I was done we cried together and he told me that was one of his proudest moments " If Nichols can repeat his success, few will be as surprised this time around â€â€? Before Joe Nichols sings a note, women begin rushing the Grand Ole Opry stage He had left Rogers, Ark "Man With a Memory" has sold nearly a million copies He says he was more confident and relaxed this time around "Joe's a keeper of the flame," said Brian Philips, general manager of Country Music Television " The 11 new songs range from the barroom romp "Don't Ruin It For the Rest of Us" to the dark title track, a Waylon Jennings cover in which a man wakes from a bad dream and vows to God to change his ways He had a big influence on his son's musical pursuits and was alive just long enough to see Nichols' star begin to rise There will always be a place for staunch traditionalists with great chops and a great interpretive style, and Joe is that The schedule is tighter, the expectations higher and the demands greater "But we thought the exact opposite In between, Nichols ruminates on misplaced hero worship ("Singer in a Band"), death ("Farewell Party," "No Time to Cry"), failing parental responsibility ("Things Like That") and eroding religious faith ("If Nobody Believed in You") Nichols doesn't seem worried His no-frills style drew comparisons to Haggard, Alan Jackson and Randy Travis Singer Deana Carter sold 5 million copies of her 1996 debut "Did I Shave My Legs for This?" Her 1998 follow-up yielded half a million in sales The first single, "The Impossible," reached No And in one of the industry's real shockers that year, both Nichols and the album were nominated for Grammys â€â€? pitting him against superstars Jackson, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and the Dixie Chicks The success of his big-label debut "Man With a Memory" made him a torchbearer for country music's neotraditionalists He signed a deal with an independent record label and released a self-titled album in 1996 Joe Nichols Takes Darker Turn on New Disc Jul 2, 2:06 PM EST NASHVILLE, Tenn " Artists who make a splashy debut face a lot of pressure with the next album It felt like the pressure was off He visited classic country themes and did it with a rich, irresistible baritone Some hit a ditch 2 on the Billboard country chart while the follow-up "Brokenheartsville" went No "In every era we need those and we need new ones " His father, Mike Nichols, was an Arkansas truck driver who moonlighted as a bass player in a country band " Good looks aside, the 27-year-old singer is at a pivotal place in his young career Not only was the label and the artist new, so was the producer, Brent Rowan, an ace studio musician who had never produced an album before "The sophomore project for any artist is often the determining factor in the public's mind to see if the artist is a one-trick pony or has something more durable and versatile," said Neil Pond, editorial director for Country Music Weekly magazine "It's an emotional moment on the album for me, personally "Of course he was in a wheelchair then, he was pretty sick," Nichols recalls "I think it's a little more emotional, maybe a little more spiritual at times He co-wrote one song, the lighthearted "What's a Guy Gotta Do" with its snappy word play, "So I bumped into a pretty girl's shoppin' cart / But all I did was break her eggs and bruise her artichoke hearts After 31 record company rejections, he was finally signed in January 2002 by startup label Universal South "There are a few more ballads on this one," Nichols said backstage at the Opry Kaufman died in 1984 Lawler writes that the details behind the Kaufman incident have been a well-kept secret for over two decades The so-called feud began in Memphis when Kaufman decided to try out pro wrestling Lawler writes in a new book, "It's Good to Be the King Sometimes," that he and Kaufman decided on their own to have the confrontation on the show and that neither Letterman nor his producer knew ahead of time what would happen The feud included a segment on the David Letterman show in 1982 when Lawler slapped the comedian and Kaufman later threw coffee at him â€â€? all while Letterman watched aghast He also says he's sure that Letterman was angry about what happened Wrestler Lawler: Kaufman Feud Was Hoax Dec 26, 3:39 AM EST Pro wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler has finally confessed: His famous feud with comedian Andy Kaufman was all set up Lawler writes that he worried after the show that he would be arrested |
