Charles quits CARAS - pushes for full-time presidentDave Charles resigned as president of theCanadian Academy of Recording Arts &Sciences (CARAS) on May 31. Secrecysurrounded the resignation, which wasn't madeknown until the end of the week.

Although there has been an ongoingrumour of a major rift in the executive body ofCARAS, heightened by the surprise resignationof Bob Roper a few weeks ago, Charles hadappeared to have survived the behind -the -door attacks on his leadership.

Charles was very guarded in giving detailsof his resignation, maintaining that his two-year contract is up. "I believe I fulfilled mymandate and it's time for someone else to sitin this chair. I believe CARAS needs a full-time president. Besides, it's time for me tofocus on my business."

Charles will celebrate 30 years in thebroadcast business in August. He began as ateenage disc jockey at CJBQ Belleville,Ontario, moving across the province in avariety of on -air and programming posts atvarious major market stations. He is presidentof Joint Communications which now enjoysan international stature with 80% of its businessin the US and a growing client base in Australia.

There had also been rumours that Joint'sCanadian operation was closing down and thatCharles would move to Australia to expand onthat market, which he angrily denied. "That'snot true. I have been to Australia a few timeson business and to holiday, but that's it. Wehave too large a commitment in Canada for usto pull out after 17 years."

It's obvious that Charles set a benchmarkas president of CARAS. Under his tutorship,the organization, particularly the annual JunoAwards became more cohesive in its approachto Canada's star system and much broader inits scope.

It was through Charles' missionary workin the field that CARAS can now boast anexpanded membership and excellent linkagewith arts organizations in each of the provinces.

It didn't take long after becomingpresident of CARAS that Charles shook up theexecutive with his shoot -from -the -hip approachto maximizing the value of the Juno Awards.Against a great deal of opposition, he pushed

for new blood on the board. His most recentfracas with the executive was rumoured to behis stand on reducing the executive boardmember's tenure to three years from six, andasking for the resignation of five of itsmembers.

It is obvious that mounting pressure onCharles played a major role in his decision tostep down.

"I'm not going to get into the politics.We're just like any other organization. We'vehad our disagreements, just as the democraticprocess allows. I feel very confident andfulfilled in my role as president of CARAS.The Junos had a 17% share of the viewingaudience this year, the second highest in itshistory. That came about because of the teamspirit that prevailed in CARAS and I think Icontributed significantly to that team.

"But this isn't just a once -a -year function.There has to be an ongoing contingency planto maintain the stature of the Juno Awards allyear round. That requires someone who candevote all their time to its operation, similarto Brian Robertson, who is president of CRIA."

Charles brought with him to thepresidency of CARAS a dedication anddevotion that was new to the post. Besidescriss-crossing the country selling CARAS andthe Juno Awards, his visibility at showcasesand industry functions went without question."I was devoting 60% of my time to CARAS,and I was being consumed with more and moreresponsibilities, which left little time to the

growing needs of Joint."Remember, I've been active in industry

organizations for most of my career. I waspresident of the Canadian Country MusicAssociation for four years, on the CARASboard for two years and was president ofCARAS for the past two years. I made mycommitment and saw it through. My contractis up. The broadcast business has becomemuch more sophisticated and that's where I'llbe channelling my energies."

Charles has given 110 days notice duringwhich time he expects a search committee tofind a successor. He has set June 21 as his lastboard meeting with CARAS.

many others.Onrot went on to gain invaluable

experience in the recording industry where heworked in various managerial capacities withCBS (now Sony) and MCA.

Onrot joined the O'Keefe Centre asprogramming manager in 1984. He waspromoted to senior manager of marketing andprogramming in 1987, assuming duties asgeneral manager on Jan. 1, 1990.

Jay Marciano, president of MCAConcerts, indicated that Onrot will be a majorplayer in the upcoming launch of the newMolson amphitheatre at Ontario Place.

Maclean Hunter/Rawlco get couMaclean Hunter/Rawlco emerged as thewinners of the CRTC cable sweepstakes,winning out over four rival bidders, includingthose from CHUM/MuchMusic and StandardRadio.

Perhaps the key factor in the CRTC'sdecision to back the Rawlco bid, to be knownas The Country Network, was their pledge tocommit over $19 million during the first sevenyears to the production of Canadian videos.

"I think we had a very good application,"says Maclean -Hunter's vice president ofcorporate affairs Shaun Purdue. "It's a goodvalue to the consumer, because we did proposethat we would not charge a fee on basic cable.And the artist incentive program, where we'repaying the musicians directly for airing theirvideos is unique, no one's ever done thatbefore."

The new network is committing to play30% Canadian content in its first year,escalating two percent annually to 40% in yearsix.

The Country Network's Artist VideoIncentive Program will pay a $150 per play feeto Canadian artists, to a maximum of $15,000.Twenty of these artist grants will be madeavailable to domestic artists in the first year ofoperation. Under the station's GuaranteedAirplay Commitment, every professionallymade, Canadian country music video will beaired a minimum of 30 times.

Other programming highlights includeCountry Kaleidoscope, a series of documentaryprograms highlighting a particular brand ofCountry music or a specific region in Canada.In Concert will showcase Canadian artists inlive performance. Your Country Stars andCountry Close -Up will spotlight individualartists.

According to Standard Radio's GarySlaight, who lost out to the Rawlco bid, theCRTC's decision was unnerving to say theleast.

"I have no idea why they got it and whywe didn't get it. We just feel the decisionwasn't in the best interests of the Canadiancountry music industry. All they're going tobe is CISS-FM on television, and everyoneknows the little amount CISS has done tosupport Canadian country music."

While Slaight admits that the Standardbid didn't commit to as much Cancon support,

it did offer a greater variety in programming. "Our benefit package was far and away

the best of the lot. Our Cancon support was slightly lower, but we had more in terms of

production for videos, independent production of programming, an aboriginal fund, live

concerts, all sorts of things that were good for the business.

"I think it's too bad that the talented people we had on our side (John Martin, Tom

Tompkins, Sylvia Tyson and Lawrence Martin) won't have the opportunity to help the

industry." The wrench in the machinery now for

M-H/Rawlco is the proposed takeover bid by Rogers Communications. Standard Broadcasting

has already made it known that they will launch an appeal with the CRTC regarding the

new country channel, based on the Rogers

takeover. "We question whether it's fair in terms

of Rogers ending up with The Country Channel when they had nothing to do with the

application," says Slaight. "The Commission knew they weren't giving the license to

Maclean -Hunter and Rawlco, they were giving it to Rawlco and Rogers. And Rogers already

owns YTV and a piece of one of the others, and they're a cable operator."

But Purdue doesn't forsee any problems from the Maclean -Hunter side of things in

regards to the Rogers bid. "It (the Rogers takeover) shouldn't affect

anything. The license has been granted and we'll proceed with launching the station. I'm

not aware of that (the appeal by Standard), but the commission will get to question Rogers at the public hearing on the takeover bid at the

appropriate time."

Keith James inducted into industry Hall of Fame Keith James was inducted into RPM's Canadian

Music Industry Hall of Fame during the Big Country Awards on May 29.

The induction came as a surprise to James, who was in the audience with wife

Carolyne. The amiable Virginian took up residence

in Canada more than 30 years ago. He made his mark in Canadian radio, first in Edmonton

and then in Calgary. In just a few short years he became a major player in the programming of the Moffat Broadcasting chain.

James built a large following of admirers, not only in radio, but in the recording industry

as well. He became actively involved in organizations that promoted Cancon, using

the various stations he was programming at the time, to further his aim. He has gone on

record for publicly admonishing his fellow broadcasters for their lack of tact when it came

to considering Canadian records for exposure. James made his impact on country radio

when he moved east to take over as program director of 820 CHAM Country in Hamilton.

In a few short months, the station became the talk of Hamilton, Toronto and the Niagara

Peninsula, where country was raised to a new height of listener popularity.

At CHAM, James was just a short drive from Toronto, one of the major markets in

North America, and one of the only of its size that was without a country FM station.

Rawlco, the giant western Canadian broadcast chain, was anxious to move into the

Toronto market. James was approached to be the designated architect to create a niche for

Rawlco and to make it country. Rawlco's bid to the CRTC was successful

and on January 26, 1993, CISS-FM went to air. James made sure this wasn't just another

country station. His approach was somewhat unorthodox, offering a format that was

designed to attract a new FM listener. New Country became the rallying call. But the mix

of contemporary country with left -field rock and pop, was a disturbing factor with the

country traditionalists. James, who was general manager of the

station, held the line. This veteran of broadcasting new the territory and he knew

that from the press he was getting, not all of it positive, he was on the right track.

The first book proved he was right. CISS-FM came in at #3 in ratings in the 22 -

station market, an incredible beginning, and one the station has maintained since. At this

time, James was the station's executive director of communications. In making the

announcement of James' promotion, Gordon Rawlinson, president of Rawlco

Communications boasted that James "is going to be CISS-FM's ambassador to the outside

world." Little did the industry know what the

future held in store for James. Almost a year to the date of his promotion, he stunned the

industry with news that he was leaving the station and taking up residence in Nashville.

He would, however, continue to work with CISS-FM. He was in fact going to be CISS-

FM's ambassador to the outside world. James came to Canada armed only with

his programming goals. He returns to the US, 30 years later with much more -- the respect of the broadcast and record industries.

The inscription on the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame award perhaps sums it

up best, "For his outstanding contribution to the Canadian music industry."

Have a nice day ... ! Well, Keith Spiceret al has/have spoken. Rawlco gets the nod forthe country specialty channel. If the Rawlcopeople are as slow in getting into television asthey were in going on -air with CISS-FM,perhaps Mr. Spicer et al may have made adecision on the merge of Maclean -Hunter andRogers. Now that could create a flurry ofinterventions. In any event, the CRTC decisionwas a surprise, to say the least. Insiders atRawlco say they were surprised as well. Wasit a good decision? That remains to be seen.Personally, I thought Gary Slaight and hisgroup of high -profile country people was ashoo-in. Bureacrats are known to have madea final decision at bedtime, but changed theirmind a dozen times by the time they rolled outof bed the next morning. (EC: Depends onwho is in bed with him, or her, or both ofthem . . . !)

The Junos are television ... ! Thisis the record business. I sometimes wonder ifwe've become overly obsessed with the Junos.There is no indication that the Junos sellrecords, and, over the years, they have evenestablished a reputation as being the "NumberOne Killer." Think about it rationally. Therehave been a lot of mistakes made, lots ofcriticism, and now poor ratings. Are wetaking this yearly, two-hour television showjust a little too seriously? Are the recordpeople, who put together this TVer, out oftheir element? Are we trying to enter televisionwith a record company mentality? Is it allworth the time, money and loss of prestige?You have to wonder what we're doing here.Maybe we should mail the ballots -- get theresults -- and let the television people puttogether a couple of hours with the envelopesbeing opened and the winners announced. It'sreally very simple. I think I can saythat because I've been there (EC: And youknow . . . ). Why are we trying to produce aTV show once a year? If we were reallycapable -- we could forget the record business-- and start to make television specials. Somerecord companies don't even handle their ownVIDEO, and a lot of record stores don't sellthem. (EC: Get it right, or forget it . . . !)

The DKD of television ... ! Well ourold friend Donald Tarlton, better known asDKD, has finally found stardom. Canada'sBIG man in the promotion business was alwaysbehind the scenes and, outside of the industry,not too many knew who he was. Now, becauseof his American Express television promotion,they still don't know who he is, but he must beimportant - - right up there with the Mervi. Ofcourse, we in the industry know how importanthe is. He has almost a full chapter in my book.What would the record industry be withoutDonald K. Donald? (EC: We may soon findout when he moves on to bigger things . . !)

How smooth ? Hey! If you're a high -profile industry shaker, when it's time to go,go quietly. The industry only remembers whatyou did today. One such shaker, who isactually trying to exit quietly, which isimpossible considering how he became high -profile in the first place, is getting a fairamount of back -handed compliments. Oneobserver said "He's as smooth as whale shit ona glacier." (EC: That's pretty smooth . . . ?)

How cum ... ? With the millions of dollarsexpected to be made through Toronto's NBAfranchise, how cum they have to go outside thecountry to find management staff, like box-office manager? If they can't find anyonecapable, okay. But did anyone even try? (EC:Any suggestions . . . ?)

Shocks and surprises ... ! The weekthat was. This has to be a banner week forsurprises in the industry: Dave Charles resignsas president of CARAS, Martin Onrot dumps

the O'Keefe, and Rawlco gets the new Canadiancountry music channel. There are a couplemore shockers just around the bend. One,regarding a major dealer, will be more of asurprise than a shock. The other, which willinvolve two major MAJOR players, will be ashock rather than a surprise. (EC: I like shocksbetter than surprises . . . !)

Quartette has arrived . . . ! I was alittle stunned and so, obviously, was most ofthe crowd at Ultrasound, which is unusual,watching Sylvia Tyson, Colleen Peterson,Cindy Church and Caitlan Hanford, performingas Quartette. Denon threw an industry partyfor the launch of this powerful femalefoursome's self -titled debut. I've never seen ahouse so packed with important people, andfrom almost every label, which is a tribute tothe foursome in itself. We certainly weren'tdisappointed as they treated us with severaltracks from the album. Radio has alreadyjumped on Red Hot Blues, the first single.(EC: Every once in awhile . . . !)

Will retailers respond to the WaThe January announcement that Americanmega -store chain Wal-Mart is moving northof the border sent shock waves throughout theCanadian retail industry.

Wal-Mart's purchase of 120 Woolcostores across the country is being seen as thevanguard move in what could be a full -invadingretail force from the US.

But if Canadian music retailers areworried, they aren't showing it. Most believethat, while the Wal-Mart invasion is asignificant move, it merely adds another playerto the already burgeoning retail field.

Wal-Mart is the biggest of what areknown as warehouse outlets. This relativelyyoung breed in the retail market has becomethe favoured rest stop of the American suburbanfamily, operating in virtually every area, fromtoys (Toys R Us) and office supplies (StaplesInc.), to home improvement (Home Depot)and electronics (Circuit City).

Warehouse outlets typically occupy morethan 100,000 square feet, with parking for 800cars, and thousands of products in endlesscategories. By generating enormous salesvolume, the stores gain valuable leverage withsuppliers.

The warehouse -style outlet might look tobe an expensive operation, with massive squarefootage, plentiful staff and enormous supplies.But that is far from the truth.

AND BETTER RECORD STORES ACROSS CANADA

Part Three: Music For All It's Worth - by Ron Rogers

Will retailers respond to the The January announcement that American

mega -store chain Wal-Mart is moving north of the border sent shock waves throughout the

Canadian retail industry. Wal-Mart's purchase of 120 Woolco

stores across the country is being seen as the vanguard move in what could be a full -invading

retail force from the US. But retailers are worried, they aren't showing it. Most believe

that, while the Wal-Mart invasion is a significant move, it merely adds another player

to the already burgeoning retail field. Wal-Mart is the biggest of what are

known as warehouse outlets. This relatively young breed in the retail market has become

the favoured rest stop of the American suburban family, operating in virtually every area, from

toys (Toys R Us) and office supplies (Staples Inc.), to home improvement (Home Depot)

and electronics (Circuit City). Warehouse outlets typically occupy more

than 100,000 square feet, with parking for 800

cars, and thousands of products in endless categories. By generating enormous sales

volume, the stores gain valuable leverage with suppliers. The warehouse -style outlet might look to

be an expensive operation, with massive square footage, plentiful staff and enormous supplies.

But that is far from the truth. "The warehouse set-up is a very efficient

way to run a store in terms of labour productivity and the rest of it." according to

HMV Canada president Paul Alofs. "They also tend to, in the US at least, build stores on the outskirts of small towns and the rents are

extremely low." The big chains have thrived for years in

the population -heavy American market, but they are now setting their sights on Canada.

Toys R Us now operates close to 50 outlets in Canada. Atlanta -based Home Depot recently

swallowed up Molson-owned Aikenheads, and Staples Inc. bought out the 26 Markham -based

Business Depot locations. And then came word of Wal-Mart purchasing Woolco's

flagging franchises. While Wal-Mart deals in virtually every

consumer product imaginable (clothing, health products, food, leisure and sporting goods),

its rapidly developing music section is setting off major alarm bells in the music retail world.

According to Alofs, Wal-Mart will be a difficult foe to handle when the time comes.

"Over the last five years, Wal-Mart has moved its entertainment area from a primarily

hardware focus to software focus. So they've gone from selling boom boxes and that sort of thing to selling CDs, videos and video games.

They're a competitor with massive buying

power and very sharp prices." Alofs says that Wal-Mart's focus right

now, as far as music's concerned, is country, which obviously has a greater appeal in the

company's area of origin, the southern US. "I've heard from a number of different

sources that Wal-Mart sells more country product than any other retailer. On one of the

recent Garth Brooks releases, they made an

Wal-Mart challenge? initial order of a million units. Their target

market matches the people that buy country as well as A/C."

What's really sending jitters through the Canadian music retail field is the fact that Wal-Mart is just the first in what will be a

series of invasions by US music retailers. Alofs points out that Blockbuster Music

Plus may soon cross the border. The newest side of the Blockbuster family features mostly

music, along with some video and video games. And there will be more. "I thought we were going to see Tower

Records on Yonge Street this summer, but I

guess I'm wrong about that. I'd also heard rumours of Virgin Superstores looking for a

site in Vancouver." It's not only the big -budget American retailers that are moving in on Canadian turf.

Competition in the music retail field is opening up in all areas of the retail jungle.

"Canadian Tire is now carrying music video." says Alofs. "Ralph Lauren -Polo stores

in London have started to sell jazz and classical CD's. Future Shop will start early this fall

carrying music." But where these stores differ, and what

angers most in the strictly music retail side of things, is that music software is being dangled

in front of consumers like the proverbial carrot in front of the horse.

"Best Buy and Circuit City in the US use CDs as loss leaders to bring people into the

stores so they can sell them the hardware, and those two operators have been looking at the

Canadian market as well. The bottom line is,

everyone with a cash register is going to be selling CDs."

Sunrise Records' Tim Baker is less than amused with the modus operandi of the broad

range retailers, and doesn't believe the consumer will buy into what the warehouse

retailer is selling. "We're in it for the long haul. We don't

use music as a loss leader. There's a certain mentality of shopper that shops in a department

store that is a little bit different from the person that goes to a specialty store that deals strictly in one type of product, like music. My

gut feeling is, they're not really going to harm us at all."

The prevailing myth concerning warehouse operations is that their costs are

significantly less than what's normally available, but some believe this isn't necessarily

the case. "I don't think their prices are going to be

significantly lower than the current market prices for new releases at HMV, Sam's or

wherever," says Alofs. "I do think their pricing will be more aggressive than department stores that carry records."

According to Baker, "There's a perception that if you look like a warehouse

you must be cheaper, and I don't think that's necessarily the case. I don't feel that way

when I walk into a store advertising so-called `warehouse prices'. It's such a common thing

now that it's lost some of its appeal." So how will the music retailers react to

RPM CHART WEEKLY -

Monday June 13, 1994.5

the gauntlet that's been thrown down by Wal- Mart, et al?

According to Alofs, HMV Canada will be opening 10 new stores this summer

throughout the country, as well as expanding several others. The chain has also begun

expanding into other areas of the entertainment field, including CD -Rom, video and video

games. "Good new retailers tend to expand the

market a bit," says Alofs, "but if Tower, Virgin, Blockbuster and MusicPlus come along

with Wal-Mart, Circuit City and Best Buy, there's going to be way too much music retail.

And we're not going to stand buy and lose our market share.

"The battle's going to be fought with bigger stores, bigger selection and better

service, because there isn't a lot of room on the downside for prices."

Unfortunately for Alofs and company, the US retailers aren't the only new enemy on the horizon. Mail-order outlets are the latest

challenger to the retail specialty outlets, and the wave, led by Columbia House, may only be beginning.

Part IV: Columbia House and the power of mail-order shoppers.

CRIA stats show unstable software fluctuations

The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) statistics for the month of April showed

an overall shipping increase of 7 % over 1993's April. Year to date figures have increased

12% compared to 1993. Net value of sales increased by 9% over last April and year-to-

date has increased 12% from $134.5 million to $150.19 million.

However, there are some other interesting figures to be noted. One shows the monthly decline of 38 % in shippings of cassette singles

compared to last April, and a 32% yearly decrease so far. In contrast, other singles

increased in April by 300% and year-to-date by 66 %, no doubt a result of A&M/PolyGram's

new CD single initiative. More importantly, net value of other

singles sales for the same corresponding periods increased 98%

, from 1993's $53,000 to 1994's

$105,000, and overall singles sales increased 36% to $295,000 year-to-date.

Another strong increase is in the CD category, where shippings and sales continue

to rise. The monthly figures show a healthy 20 % shipping increase and a yearly 25 %

increase, while corresponding sales figures increased 18% over last April and 19% over

1993's year-to-date. Other than CDs and other singles, though,

cassette singles, cassettes, and DCC/Mini Discs all decreased. Cassettes overall year-to-

date sales have decreased from 1993's value of just over $35.5 million to $33.5 million.

When they first started out, they were knownas Prescott -Brown. Then they changed thename to Tracey Prescott & Lonesome Daddy,and the confusion began in earnest.

According to Tracey Prescott, who alongwith husband Randall and brother Barry Brownmake up Prescott -Brown, the confusion justgot to be too much.

"We ran into a lot of problems on theroad last year. The name was just too long.They always shortened it, so you'd roll into atown and say 'well, what's it gonna be thistime?"

Adds husband Randall, "The first showwe ever did, a telethon up in Ottawa, wewalked out and the guy said 'Here's TraceyPrescott and Big Daddy."'

No matter what name they go by, there'sno mistaking the sound. With a rich legacy inCanadian country back to the days of TheFamily Brown and Irwin Prescott, this trio hasa firm grasp on what it takes to make good oldcountry, something clearly evident on thegroup's latest album, Already Restless.

This marks the first time for the groupthat the majority of the record was recorded inNashville, with some done in their homestudio in the Ottawa Valley.

"This time we did most of the tracks inNashville," says Tracey. "But we brought thetapes back to Canada and did most of thevocals and overdubs up here. It was a realmish-mash, mostly because of Paul Worley'sschedule."

Although one might think owning your

Chart Toppers to presentCountry Heat '94 in JulyCanadian Music Week organizer Chart Toppersis keeping busy this summer. The promotionscompany recently completed negotiations topresent Country Heat '94 in Toronto (July 16)and Ottawa (17).

Chart Toppers has brought togetherConcert Productions International and theOntario Lottery Corporation's Instant Bingoto present what should be the biggest countryconcert of the summer.

The bill will include five -time BigCountry Award winner Charlie Major, FaithHill, Brooks And Dunn, Sawyer Brown, LoriYates, and Big Country group of the yearPrairie Oyster. There will likely be morenames added to this impressive list in thecoming weeks.

FEATURED ARTIST -

by Ron Rogers

Prescott -Brown sound remains despite name change

When they first started out, they were known as Prescott -Brown. Then they changed the

name to Tracey Prescott & Lonesome Daddy, and the confusion began in earnest.

According to Tracey Prescott, who along with husband Randall and brother Barry Brown

make up Prescott -Brown, the confusion just got to be too much.

"We ran into a lot of problems on the road last year. The name was just too long. They always shortened it, so you'd roll into a town and say 'well, what's it gonna be this time? -

Adds husband Randall, "The first show we ever did, a telethon up in Ottawa, we

walked out and the guy said 'Here's Tracey Prescott and Big Daddy.'" No matter what name they go by, there's

no mistaking the sound. With a rich legacy in Canadian country back to the days of The

Family Brown and Irwin Prescott, this trio has a firm grasp on what it takes to make good old

country, something clearly evident on the group's latest album, Already Restless.

This marks the first time for the group that the majority of the record was recorded in

Nashville, with some done in their home studio in the Ottawa Valley.

"This time we did most of the tracks in Nashville," says Tracey. "But we brought the

tapes back to Canada and did most of the vocals and overdubs up here. It was a real

mish-mash, mostly because of Paul Worley's schedule."

Although one might think owning your Chart Toppers to present

Country Heat '94 in July Canadian Music Week organizer Chart Toppers

is keeping busy this summer. The promotions company recently completed negotiations to

present Country Heat '94 in Toronto (July 16) and Ottawa (17).

Chart Toppers has brought together Concert Productions International and the Ontario Lottery Corporation's Instant Bingo

to present what should be the biggest country concert of the summer.

The bill will include five -time Big Country Award winner Charlie Major, Faith

Hill, Brooks And Dunn, Sawyer Brown, Lori Yates, and Big Country group of the year Prairie Oyster. There will likely be more names added to this impressive list in the

coming weeks. "We basically put the two places together." says Chart Toppers' Neill Dixon.

"We're the promotional party that's marrying the two parties."

The Toronto -area show will take place at the Christie Conservation Area in

Flamborough, Ontario, while the Ottawa venue will be the Capital City Speedway, just outside the city.

"I was speaking to the people at BassClef, the promoters in Ottawa, and they're already

at 10,000 tickets sold. They've only been on sale since May 19th."

own studio would ease the financial burden for an artist, Randall says that's not necessarily

true. "That's a bit of a misconception there,

because it's a money pit. You have to keep on the cutting edge. Anything new and hot you

have to have." "The nice part for us was we have this

beautiful portable gear that we can take anywhere, so you can maintain that same

sonic integrity across the board." Making music is obviously second nature

to the threesome. As members of the famous Family Brown, one of the legendary acts in

Canadian country music, Tracey and Barry grew up surrounded by music.

"That's what we grew up with." says Tracey. "Our dad was a DJ and a performer,

and he knew everybody. I go to the Big Country Awards and I've known most of those

people my whole life." Obviously, growing up in a show business

family has both advantages and disadvantages. Tracey believes the good definitely outweighed

the bad. "I think we gained a lot from it, met a lot

of great people, got to travel to places most people would never see. I wish I could have taken a couple of years off when I was a

teenager and gone skiing in Banff with my friends. I'd go to high school dances and have

to leave at 10:30 to finish the show at the club down the road."

"We got teased a lot when we were kids," echoes Randall, "singing country at a

time when The Beatles were the big thing." Fortunately for them, Prescott -Brown

grew up in a genre that doesn't eat its young, like rock and roll seems to. They survived the

early years with the family, and now carry the legacy on with their own trio. According to Barry Brown, tradition and history mean a great deal to country music fans.

"Country artists have a loyal fan following. There are artists that had one or

two hit records, but they're still touring 20 years later on the strength of those earlier big hits."

With new country being the favourite of radio and video programmers today, it's easy

for older artists to get shuffled into the back pages. As Barry pointed out, "you don't hear Merle Haggard on the radio any more, and

he's taught them all." But as Randall points out, new country is

more an offshoot of '90s recording techniques, than an actual shift in the direction of the

music. "Session players have changed a lot of

that sound. They came from New York and LA, settled in Nashville, and brought this

whole new rock and roll approach to recording, with a lot of heavy snare and bass. It's

probably the musicians who have changed the sound of new country."

:It was in Nashville where the trio laid down many of the tracks for the new album,

and it was also there that they discovered many of the songs that appear on the album. Sifting

RPM CHART WEEKLY Monday June 13, 1994 -

through the material is a job in itself, as Barry can attest to.

"We demoed probably about 50 or 60 tunes, and Tracey went down to Nashville and

listened to about 400 songs in a week's time, trying to find stuff that fits our sound."

Randall adds, "There were other people like Paul Worley who were on their own

independent searches, so, in total it was probably 2,500 songs we had to weed through."

With that many songs, it almost becomes a case of throwing darts at a board. According

to Randall, you have to find the ones that best fit your sound.

"Some don't work for you. They may be a smash hit for someone else but if you don't

like the music or the lyric, it just doesn't work. Similarly, you could be in love with

something one day, then two days later you listen and go `oh my god, what were we

thinking. - Says Tracey, "It's more frustrating when

you've got something you think everyone's going to love and nobody gets it."

It's doubtful that radio programmers will not get this latest album from Prescott -Brown. It's also likely that this will bring the trio an

entirely new fan base south of the border. Either way, the family tradition will definitely

live on.

A top 10 add. Beastie Boys' IllCommunication blasts onto the Albums chartat #9. That's the highest debut for any BeastieBoys album. Compare that to the group's firstalbum, Licence To Ill. It debuted at #90, anddidn't reach the top 10 until its 7th week.

Back on the chart. Stevie Nicks makesa triumphant return to the chart with MaybeLove Will Change Your Mind. The song is thetop add as it enters at #60. She had a couple of#1 hits with Fleetwood Mac, but none as a soloartist. She has, however, reached the top 10 afew times. Name Stevie Nicks three top 10songs.

What a concert! The biggest gainer onthe Hit Tracks chart is Twist & Shout byChaka Demus & Pliers. The song jumps 42spots to #47. Maybe Chaka Demus & Plierscould hook up with Hammer and Nine InchNails for a construction tour. Tool might openand Jigsaw could reunite!

A real mix. The top 100 albums coversmusical styles ranging from chanting to hardrock and just about everything else in between.There's pop, dance, A/C, alternative, and afew with no category. Country continues to bea hot item as well. Lorrie Morgan's War Paintdebuts at #55, while Travis Tritt enters at #73with Ten Feet Tall And Bullet Proof. The topcountry album is Tim McGraw's Not AMoment Too Soon, which is #20 with a bullet.

More on country. A11 -4 -One is reallyreaping the benefits from covering JohnMichael Montgomery's I Swear. The songmakes a big move to #3 on the Hit Trackschart, while the group's self -titled album isthe #7 seller in the country.

It's about time. Some albums are quickerthan others to crack the chart. It took R. Kelly

a little while to finally enter with 12 Play. Thealbum was originally shipped last year, butmakes its debut at #46.

The hot albums. There really is a widerange of music among the top -selling albumsat the HMV store in Mississauga's Square Onemall. Here's the top 10 list as reported bySandy Pereira. 1. Smashing Pumpkins 2. TheCrow 3. Ace Of Base 4. Canto Gregoriano5. Freestyle 6. Collective Soul 7. Erasure8. Counting Crows 9. Yanni 10. Pink Floyd.

In the Nicks of time. Stevie Nicks hadsongs peak at Nos. 11, 12 & 13, but only hadthree crack the top 10. Talk To Me reached#10 in 1986, Room's On Fire hit #9 in 1989,and her biggest hit was her first release, StopDraggin' My Heart Around. Tom Petty helpedthe song peak at #5 in 1981.

FACTOR's board toreview video grant criteriaThe Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent OnRecord (FACTOR) has cut off any furtherapplications for its Video Grant Program asthe board of directors analyzes its criteria.

The reason is that the demand fromapplicants up to the first deadline of the fiscalyear has by far succeeded the allocated funding.

Previously, this problem was alleviatedby utilising a pro -rated system, where amountsoffered were pro -rated and funds were re-allocated from other programs experiencingless demand. This year, one of the solutionsbeing offered is that FACTOR should moreadequately fund fewer projects.

Current qualifying requirements includethat the sound recording supported by thevideo be released within 12 months of receiptof the application, and be nationally distributedby a FACTOR -recognized distributor. Thesong and video must also reach Canconrequirements.

As for the current applicants, allapplications that were submitted by the date ofthe board meeting (Apri129) will be considered.

city, is being threatened with having its liquor license revoked by the infamous Montreal police. Claiming the club is a 'magnet' for gangs and drug trafficking, the Montreal Urban

Community police is attempting to close its doors by charging the club has violated

numerous sections of the Liquor Permits Act. Foufons is no stranger to calamity: in January

of 1993, owner Normand Boileau claimed bankruptcy and the club closed briefly, but

new owner Samuel Turcotte re -opened the place a month later. Sylvain Houde, music

director, says that the club is now in good financial state, and also notes (as quoted in

Montreal's English -language paper The Gazette) that "the police told the building

Thanks to EMI's just -transferred promo rep Rob Chubey, I was given a ticket to check out the exciting Beastie Boys show at The

Palladium (May 25). It was a one-off number for the group, preparing for its spot as one of the main acts at Lollapalooza. The show was

pretty solid, but once again the Palladium sound system faltered and failed to catch the

nuances and small embellishments that make a Beastie Boys album what it is. The

instrumental numbers were the strongest of the bunch, showing a smooth, funky and

soulful side of the band that may be explored in more depth on upcoming projects. The new

rap songs were great as well, as were the throwbacks to the Same Old Bullshit -era

material. The only problem with the show was that it started early than I had expected. I

missed Graeme Kirkland and his psycho drum/ karate clinic and Canadian rappers Punjabi By

Nature. Also, why wasn't the hall packed to its gills? There seemed to be quite a bit of

empty space for such an anticipated and closely -

monitored (in terms of ticket sales) gig.

While MCA Concerts Canada has hooked up with Molsons to fund the building

of the new facility down at Ontario Place, that hasn't stopped MCA and Ontario Place from

engaging in some competition this summer, especially for the Canada Day concert -goers.

While Ontario Place has the Edgefest lineup, MCA just recently announced its support lineup for the Tragically Hip show at Barrie's

Molson Park (RPM, June 6/94). Warner scored four spots, MCA Records scored two, while

BMG and Kinetic had one apiece with the two other spots reserved for unsigned bands.

MCA act Live performed at Lee's Palace (May 30) to a packed house of interested

onlookers. While not to everybody's liking, the band was a tight unit, showcasing its

Throwing Copper material. Lead singer Edward Kowalczyk has a certain je ne sais-

Gord Downie about him, and his backwards cap was also reminiscent of Michael Stipe. A

consistent show, but even more of a standout was the performance by opener Vic Chesnut, who was reportedly hand-picked for this tour. His demented acoustic material was the perfect

antidote to the Live brigade. Also on hand was band Angelfish who played to a half -full

house.

Mundane has returned from a successful five -week swing across Canada.

The A&M/Raw Energy act received a glowing review in the highly influential College Music

Journal, which quickly spread word-of-mouth about the band. Showcasing material from the Seed album, the quartet ran into its share of

car troubles, video game addictions and Dread Zeppelin sightings. Mundane also appeared

on MusiquePlus, played an arggest at Calgary's The Factory, and climbed a mountain! Be sure

to see this aggressive, percussion -pounding outfit as it comes back across Canada in the

summer, including dates at Infest near Calgary in August and at Toronto's Rivoli June 8.

The ubiquitous Lloyd Cole returns with a new set on Rykodisc/Denon called Bad

Vibes. This is Cole's first release as part of a multi -album deal with Rykodisc, and is

produced with Adam Peters and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Watch for the first single,

Morning Is Broken, and an acoustic date with guitarist Neil Clark and opener Lori Yates at

the El Mocambo (June 17).

In other Denon news, the fantastic new Velocity Girl single, Sorry Again, has also just been serviced. In an industry twist,

Warner Music has acquired the rights to the album, Simpatico!, here in Canada, and will handle distribution for Sub Pop in this one-

time agreement. As for the reason, it is said that the new Velocity Girl has such pop

potential that Warner decided to pick it up. More strange twistings from the wacky world

of major label thinking.

Shortcuts: The aforementioned Velocity Girl will play a great double bill with fellow Sub Poppers Sunny Day Real Estate at Lee's

Palace (June 28); A&M's New Kingdom plays with locals Grasshopper and Hev's Duties at

In the category of 'where did those come What is with this

trend of suddenly discovering a couple thousand tickets a couple of weeks before the show. First, CPI announced that they were releasing

a couple thousand more tickets to Pink Floyd's Exhibition Stadium dates. And just this past

week, 2,500 seats were 'suddenly uncovered' for the upcoming Phil Collins dates at

Skydome. Maybe the promoters just don't know how big their stadiums are?

Toronto's Exhibition Stadium will host some of the biggest names in pop during

its annual summer concert line-up. Among those artists who are soon to be confirmed are Bette Midler (early August), Reba McEntire

(August 24), John Mellencamp (25), Harry Connick Jr. (27) and Michael Bolton and

Celine Dion (Sept. 1). Chances for a return by Billy Joel are apparently fading, but Bryan

Adams will likely be announced shortly for a show on the last day of the CNE, sometime on

Labour Day weekend. Combined with the already announced shows for Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and The Eagles, this should be

the most lucrative concert summer in Toronto history.

Woodstock II is finally confirmed for the weekend of August 13 and 14 in Saugerites,

New York, 100 miles north of New York City. Details regarding the artist line-up will

be announced shortly, although names such as Metallica, Aerosmith, Peter Gabriel and Neil

Young have been tossed around. A&M Records has secured the album rights to the festival,

with PolyGram gaining film, merchandising and worldwide television rights. The album

should be released sometime in the fall.

BMG's Crash Test Dummies, who recently opened for Elvis Costello at

Kingswood Theatre, will return to Toronto for a June 30 date at Ontario Place, with guests The Waltons.

Bonnie Raitt is set to play the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on July 26, and the

Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, September 6. Watch for additional Canadian dates to be

added in the not -too -distant future. Other stuff: Look for a late summer or

fall acoustic tour from Chris Difford, Glen Tillbrook and Paul Carrack, the three most

famous members of that wonderfully underrated British band Squeeze. Indigo Girls

will probably do a comfy -seat theatre tour for their Swamp Ophelia album in the late summer. And rumours persist that the recent Toronto date by Rush may have been their last, period. Stay tuned.

MAVERICK SOUNDTRACKVarious ArtistsAtlantic -82595-PAs country gains new fans, the countrysoundtracks rise to meet the challenge. Thesearen't the usual throw -away tracks that dasheda lot of dreams. For the most part, these 12tracks offer an unusual substance. It's calledpure country and some of the best country namesin the business bring it home. Tracy Lawrence isalready happening with his track Renegades,Rebels And Rogues, as is Carlene Carter withSomething Already Gone. Clint Black didn't havesuch good luck with A Good Run Of Bad Luck, butit filled in for him while he was between hits.Watch for chart action on John MichaelMontgomery's Dream On Texas Ladies, Opheliaby Vince Gill, The Rainbow Down The Road, astandout duet by Patty Loveless and RadneyFoster, and you just might see Randy Newmancatching country radio action with Ride GamblerRide. Retailers are ordering heavily on this onealready. The film is also doing very well. - WG

TRAVISTRITT

TENFEET

METTRAVIS TRITTTen Feet Tall and Bullet ProofWarner Bros -45603PTritt certainly has a handle on the country marketas this, his fourth album, takes hold at retail.Retailers were actually quick on the draw on thisrelease, causing a backorder situation, which israre for country product. Interest in the albumwas obviously fuelled by radio action on FoolishPride, a Tritt original, which bulleted into the Top10 of RPM Country 100 after only eight weeksof release. Tritt emerges with this Gregg Brownproduction as a bit of a rebel. He has establishedhimself across the board in country, traditional,contemporary and even got the nod from someprogrammers as a new country artist. Tritt'svocal rawness stands out here more than withhis past releases, perhaps because of hisburgeoning writing talent. He wrote or co -wrotesix of the songs, key of which are the title track,Wishful Thinking, which he wrote with GaryRossington and Tell Me I Was Dreaming, a co -write with Bruce Ray Brown. But don't overlookBetween An Old Memory And Me, written byKeith Stegall and Charlie Craig. It's a cover, butit could happen for Tritt. WG

BASIA PoplJazzThe Sweetest IllusionEpic -64255HBasia surprised everybody at Sony with thesuccess of London Warsaw New York, as world-wide sales passed the million mark. This indi-cated a strong market for the Euro-pop stylingsof Basia and her cohort Danny White. The peopleat Sony let Basia record the follow-up withoutmuch intervention, and it falls along the same

lines as its two predecessors: replete with Euro-pop hooks and production, this is a true '90s popproduct. Criss-crossing Lisa Stansfield, SwingOut Sister and Manhattan Transfer references,the album retains a suburban, vocally -heavy jazzfeel throughout. Yearning is the worthy firstsingle, while She Deserves It/Rachel's Weddingis poignant and true to Basia. An Olive Tree is astrange, samba -laced ode to... well, huggingolive trees. The title track changes things up a bitwith an orchestrated intro and an upbeat fla-vour. And if Olivia Newton -John was still record-ing hit after hit, More Fire Than Flame would bethe Physical of the '90s. CT

KATHY TROCCOLI -Pop

Kathy TroccoliRCA -66367-NThe popladult contemporary field is pretty jammedthese days with the likes of Michael Bolton,Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston et al. But pro-grammers might be wise to make room for thisRCA artist, who makes a strong case for AC andCHR play with her debut album. Troccoli had a hit

back in 1992 with her first single, EverythingChanges1J19 on the RPM Hit Tracks- May 91921,which led to tour dates with the likes of Bolton,Kenny Loggins and Peabo Bryson. This albumcan only improve on that initial success. Troccolihas a powerful voice, and video -friendly looksthat should earmark her for serious attention atMuchMusic and MTV. It doesn't hurt that she'srecruited some of the pop world's best for thisalbum, including producers Keith Thomas, MichaelOmartian and Ric Wake. Super songwriter DianeWarren contributes the first single, Tell Me WhereIt Hurts, which has already found its way rapidlyup the charts. Other highlights include If I'm NotIn Love, Just You and Takin' A Chance. -RR

HORSE

HORSE -Pop

God's Home MovieMCA Records -10935-JHorse is a singer, Horse McDonald, whose bandis called Horse. She and her band come fromScotland, and this album was recorded while inlimbo between labels. MCA had the intelligenceto sign this group based on the strength of itsfirst album, The Same Sky, and the new recorddelivers a less -aggressive but more radio -pleas-ing result. The comparison between Horse andAlison Moyet is unavoidable, but this to me is agood thing. The first song, Celebrate, is a liltingcross -format winner, melding together the popu-lar combination of acoustic and electric guitarswith strong lead and harmony vocals. And catchy,to boot. Shake This Mountain follows in similarfootsteps. The title track could make a perfectaddition to a movie soundtrack: it has that or-chestrated, rich and poignant quality suitable fora film's theme song. This track can also beearmarked for modern rock radio. Also checkYears From Now, Finer and Hold Me Now asstrong radio possibilities. And that's straightfrom the Horse's mouth. -CT

LTHE GOODSSo Many RoadsSavannah -9847-HThe Goods need no introduction, and this MikeFrancis production merely reaffirms the trio'stantalizingly smooth and polished talent. Thename change is not surprising being that Bruce'sson Travis is part of the trio. The songwriting mixhere is exceptional and a further tribute to theband's 20th anniversary, which is beingcelebrated this year. Includes Gordon Lightfoot'sAlberta Bound, Bob Seger's Against The Wind,and John Hiatt's Don't Know Much About Love,with lead vocals by Bruce, Brian and Travisrespectively. Also includes The Shape I'm In, aRobbie Robertson penning. To say The Good'snever sounded better is an understatement. Thereis an uncanny vocal balance here with a perfectedvocal harmony that could only come from yearsof working as a team, recording and in concert.That's What Highways Are For, written by BrettJones and Jimi T. Hall, with Brian on lead vocals,was taken as the first single and has alreadybulleted up the charts and re-established TheGoods as a top country act. This is the firstrecording by the trio since the 1990 release ofLive Fast Love Hard. Recorded at Toronto'sInception Sound. WG

BOSTON -RockWalk OnMCA -10973-JIt's been such a long time since that last Bostonalbum, eight years in fact, that you have towonder whether or not Tom Scholz and companycould still remember how to do it. This latestrelease won't be a surprise to anyone who grewup on More Than A Feeling and Don't Look Back.A lot of wailin' guitars, sweeping organs and all-over -the -map vocals tell you, even before youlook at the jacket, that this is most assuredly aBoston record. Scholz is one of rock's notoriousslow movers, but even he would probably admitthat eight years is a little much. Much of thedelay can be attributed to an ugly court fightwhere, according to Scholz in the liner notes,"Boston had to defend its right to make the bestrecording possible, rather than fit the businessplans of CBS Records." The group also makes adetermined effort in those same liner notes toadmonish modern day artists using samplers andcomputers on their albums and in concert, saying"we actually bring instruments Ion tour) and playthem." New lead singer David Sikes sounds likehe belongs more in Motley Crue than Boston, butthe results are still reasonably predictable. Scholzis still living in the '70s, but he manages to makeit work. The album will probably sell a ton. -RR

DAVID SANBORN JazzlPopHearsayElektra61620-PFew jazz artists have achieved the notoriety andcelebrity afforded this awesome alto sax player,who has recorded with virtually everyone and is

now a frequent flier to New York for the DavidLetterman Show. Sanborn has sold more than 6million albums worldwide, a firm testament tohis talent and his fame. This third release withElektra takes Sanborn back to his R&B roots,while not ignoring the mainstream sensibilitythat made him a star in the first place. It's popmusic with a jazz setting, and it makes Sanborna rarity in the business - a jazz artist recognizedby pop patrons. As usual, Sanborn encorporatessome talented backup players, including SteveJordan, Ricky Peterson and William 'Spaceman'Patterson. The first single, a cover of MarvinGaye's Got To Give It Up, could find space on AlC radio. Other highlights include the funked upSavanna, the paint -it -blues sounds of The LongGoodbye, and a slow crawling track entitledBack To Memphis. A can't -miss release for jazzfans from a legitimate star in the genre. -RR

DAVID BALLThinkin' ProblemWarner Bros -45562PWarner Music's director of national promotionfor US labels, Herb Forgie, has caught the fire ofcountry and torched the imagination of a bunchof retailers. Forgie is bringing home country forWarner Music in a big way, and one of hispriorities is Ball's album, which he describes ascombining "a freewheeling musical attitudereminiscent of Nashville in the '50s with a sonicpunch that is pure '90s." Sonic or not, Ball has apunch that is already being felt with the releaseof the title track, which he wrote with AllenShamblin' and Stuart Ziff. Now that Ball is

rolling, he shouldn't have too much difficultymaintaining his chart status. There's a bunch ofgreat stuff here, including Down At The BottomOf A Broken Heart, another Ball original, WayneWalker's penning of A Walk On The Wild Side OfLife, and Blowin' Smoke, which he co -wrote withTommy Polk and Billy Spencer. They could havebeen a little more creative with the cover artwork,but with the heavy radio play he'll get, a front -rack position will score with the browsers. WG

Wainwright Rodeo (24), and back to Ontario for the Riverfest in Brockville (26). On Canada

Day Fox is scheduled for the Dauphin Countryfest, and the next day (2) at the Big

had been in Toronto for the Big Country Awards, was seen in the audience signing

autographs. Suzanne Gitzi has been firmed for two dates at the popular country showplace

(June 30 -July 1), followed by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys (14), Virgin recording

artist Lori Yates, currently charting with L'il Darling (21), Asleep At The Wheel (August
