This is part of a longer review of the Oyster Ridge Music Festival
"Grammy winners Terri Hendrix and Legendary Steel Guitarist Lloyd Maines grace ORMF stage once again after a four-year absence, during which time Terri Hendrix has been busy writing and producing new music from The Art of Removing Wallpaper in 2004, to Celebrate the Difference in 2005.
Her latest release, The Spiritual Kind, was a featured release on iTunes, spent several weeks on the Americana Chart topping the Roots Music Report’s Folk chart, and landed Hendrix on the cover of the nationally distributed Texas Music magazine. Hendrix covered all production, manufacturing and publicity costs for The Spiritual Kind, which has garnered some of the best reviews of her career and has found a home on many critics’ year-end Top 10 lists.
ORMF fans will fondly recall Teri’s charming stage presence and top-notch musicianship (guitar, mandolin and harmonica) with lyrics as smart and thought-provoking as they are heartfelt and personal, and all are eagerly anticipating hearing again her classically trained but twang-kissed voice that’s as “potent as an intimate whisper.” Be sure to stop by the music booth where Teri will be signing CDs and greeting fans old and new – and old and young. Hendrix says that it’s not uncommon for her to find three generations of fans at her shows, including many who’ve been onboard since before her first album, and she credits that to the years she’s put into winning them over, one show at a time.
Appearing on stage with Teri Hendrix is Lloyd Maines, who won a Grammy for producing the Dixie chicks 2002 Album of the Year Home. Long before the Dixie Chicks were hatched, however, Lloyd Maines, father of “Chick” Natalie Maines, had established himself as a country music giant, both as a legendary steel guitarist and a producer.
ORMF fans will be interested to learn that music was not Lloyd’s initial career choice. He studied forestry while attending Texas Tech, hoping to land a job in the parks department. However, after landing a job at a local studio, his future was forever changed.
Lloyd was around when Buddy Holly broke loose and was, himself, part of the great Joe Ely’s band for many years. These days, Lloyd’s jaw dropping steel riffs are only half the reason he’s become one of the most sought after men in music. He’s also been a record producer for a little over two decades. Of producing, Lloyd says, “Most bands solicit my production . . . either because of another project that they’ve heard, [or] I think I’ve got a reputation of hanging with it through every thread, every facet of a project. I try not to leave the studio while anything is being laid down, through the whole enchilada.
I think bands like that, as opposed to someone that is always going to a phone call or has some other agenda going on. . . . I go into every project without any kind of preconceived notion of how I want to do it. I try to mold my production around the artist.”
Lloyd Maines and Teri Hendrix perform from 6:00 to 8:00 on Friday, July 25, and they will share their creative spirit and seasoned wisdom with songwriters and musicians of all levels in a song-writing workshop at 10:00 Saturday morning."
