state’s influence and innovation

ramatic “shock rock,” politically charged Chicano music,
twangy surf guitar, breezy country-pop, soothing New Age
flute, moody “emo,” rootsy jangle-rock, cowboy campfire
tunes and the sonic gumbo known as waila all have a common denominator: Arizona.
As our state celebrates its centennial, it may not seem to be a
hotbed of American musical sounds and trends along the lines of
New York, Chicago, Nashville or New Orleans.
But supremely creative Arizona-spawned acts including Alice
Cooper, Lalo Guerrero, Duane Eddy, Marty Robbins, R. Carlos Nakai,
Jimmy Eat World, the Gin Blossoms, Billie Maxwell and the Joaquin
Brothers have helped create sounds to enrich the American musical
landscape since Arizona was granted statehood in 1912.
George Harrison listened to Eddy’s echoing guitar work before
joining the Beatles. Marilyn Manson idolized Cooper before pushing
shock rock in stunning new directions. Guerrero is hailed as the
father of Chicano music, and Nakai brought Native American flute to
huge New Age audiences. The Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in
Phoenix, home of the cutting-edge instruments of William Eaton, is
the longest-running guitar-making school in North America.
“I Am AZ Music,” an exhibit opening at Phoenix’s Musical Instrument Museum on Saturday, Feb. 18, gives plenty of attention to
such well-known Arizonans as Cooper, Linda Ronstadt and Fleetwood

My co-worker Claudia gave it to

American music,” says
Robert Doyle, who has
owned the label since
1992.
The label’s most influential artist is Navajo
flute master Nakai.
“He was the forerunner of the renaissance of the (Native
American) flute,” Doyle
says. “The more traditional flute can sound
harsh; he creates a more
soothing sound.”
Buoyed by his music’s
popularity with the New
Age community, the
Grammy-nominated
Nakai has sold 1 million
copies of his 1993 album,
“Canyon Trilogy.” He is
the only native artist
recording outside pop
music to accomplish that
feat.

Mac’s Stevie Nicks. But it
also celebrates underthe-radar acts that
helped push musical
boundaries inside and
outside our state’s lines.
“As a newcomer to
Arizona, I have been
extremely impressed by
the sheer amount of musical ingenuity that has
come out of the state in
the past 100 years,” says
MIM curator Cullen
Strawn, a key player in
the exhibit, which will
run 11 months.
“It’s a very eclectic
blend. … These were
major forces in different
kinds of popular music.”
Longtime Arizona
music historian John P.
Dixon says, “There are
so many styles of music
that have an Arizona
influence. You will see
these things, and you will
also get (to hear) audio.”
Guitar slinger Eddy,
who was inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame because of such
global hits as “Rebel
Rouser,” “Peter Gunn”
and “Because They’re
Young,” puts it this way:
“The spaciousness and
openness of the desert,
the feel of it and the
smells, shaped my music.
I play like that, with big
notes and open spaces. I
figured out through the
years that I’ve been subconsciously influenced
by that.”
The MIM exhibit uses
visitors’ headsets to play
music that automatically
changes as they stroll
through the decades. It
offers up-close looks at
such instruments as
country star Buck Owens’ red-white-and-blue
guitar and a double-neck
model strummed by
Eddy on “American
Bandstand.” It personalizes things further with
garments, such as the
dress that Glendale’s
Jordin Sparks wore the
night she won “American
Idol” and two stage outfits donned by Cooper.
Video clips, historic
photos and a timeline add
more perspective.
Indian influence
Native American and
White cultures mixed in
one of the Valley’s more
popular ensembles when
Arizona was admitted to
the Union.
In fact, the Phoenix
Indian School Band
helped Arizonans celebrate their new status.
“They played in some
pretty important events,
like the procession that
was part of the statehood
ceremonies in 1912 and
for (then-former) President Coolidge at the dedication of Coolidge Dam
(near Globe, in 1930),”
Strawn says.
The Phoenix Indian
School and its band were
part of federal programs
at the turn of the 20th
century aimed at pushing
young Native Americans
to assimilate into White
life and urban areas.
Musicians wore militarystyle uniforms and
played marching-band
songs on brass and
drums.
Unfortunately, the
Native American sounds
that band members
might have grown up
with were excluded from
the band’s repertoire.
But in the decades leading up to the school’s
closure in 1990, students
gradually were allowed
to start reconnecting
with their native culture.
As Arizona moved into
the Roaring ’20s, a pair of
acts singing the kind of
music that early settlers
had enjoyed were breaking new ground.
The Arizona Wranglers went from singing at a root-beer drive-in in Phoenix to touring
nationally in the late 1920s. JOHN P. DIXON
Maxwell has been
called the original cowgirl singer, and the MIM
has some history to back
that up.
“She was from the
White Mountains and was
a true cowhand, unlike
later country singers
who would affiliate themselves with Western cowboy culture,” Strawn
says.
Maxwell got her start
as part of a four-piece
band called the Maxwell
Family Orchestra. All the
members split their time
between playing music
and farming and ranching.
In 1929, Maxwell became what Dixon believes is the first Arizonan to end up on a record. Maxwell traveled to
El Paso to record “Cowboy’s Wife” on the Victor
label, which later became
RCA Victor.
The Maxwell-penned
song, which describes
the joys and disappointments of marriage to a
cowhand, also made the
singer a pioneer among
female country singers
with its social commentary, Strawn said.
At one point, Maxwell
sings that she must
“swallow my disappointment” as her husband
seems more interested in
eating supper than kissing her after a hard day’s
work.
Also heading toward
stardom in the late ’20s
were the Arizona Wranglers, whose members
started singing together
while working at a rootbeer drive-in in Phoenix
and ended up with a local
radio show.
The group was lured
to Los Angeles for a show
on a larger radio station
and toured nationally
behind such hits as “The
Strawberry Roan.” Some
members later played
singing cowboys in
Hollywood Westerns.
Chicano icon

native Tucson, learning
guitar and singing from
his mother, Concepción,
an immigrant from Mexico. He learned traditional music but also was
influenced by such radio
favorites as Al Jolson and
Bing Crosby. That inspired Guerrero to bring
swing and boogie-woogie
into Spanish-language
music in the 1940s.
Guerrero was not
allowed to speak Spanish
at his high school, and
that type of treatment, as
well as the plight of
farmworkers and other
immigrants, would be
among the subjects that
crept into his music after
he moved to Los Angeles
and started recording.
Songs such as “El Chicano” and “El Corrido de
Cesar Chavez” helped
develop the social commentary of Chicano music.
“Lalo is an icon,” says
Ruth Lara Vichules, a
Phoenix singer-songwriter who performs in Spanish and English. “A lot of
people don’t know that he
is from Arizona.”
In the 1940s, a Native
American jazz musician
helped illustrate how
artists sometimes break
social barriers before
other parts of the population.
Russell Moore, nicknamed Big Chief, was a
full-blooded Pima who
left the Gila River Indian
Community as a teenager
for Chicago.
“He became a great
trombone player in the
tradition of New Orleans
jazz,” Strawn says. “By
the ’40s, he had hooked
up with Louis Armstrong,
played with him for
about three years and
later, again, in the 1960s.”
Moore’s initial run
paired a Native American with an AfricanAmerican bandleader in
a group that also included Whites. This was two
decades before the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 was
passed.
With the dawn of the
’50s came the founding of
Phoenix’s Canyon Records by Ray and Mary
Boley. The label has been
home to scores of Native
American artists ever
since.
“For 15 years, Canyon
was the only place, aside
from the Library of Congress or (Smithsonian)
Folkways, to find Native
The late ’50s ushered
in what Dixon calls “the
golden era” of Arizona
music.
Much of that revolved
around producer Lee
Hazlewood and a tiny
recording studio in central Phoenix.
Hazlewood wrote and
produced “The Fool,” a
top-10 hit in 1956 featuring Phoenix singer Sanford Clark, and he helped
Eddy record many of his
highest-charting hits at
Audio Recorders. Aided
by engineer Jack Miller,
Hazlewood ran Eddy’s
guitar through a 10,000gallon water tank set up
behind the studio to create the twangy sound
that morphed into surf
guitar in the early ’60s.
The water tank is part of
the MIM exhibit.
Also breaking out in
the ’50s was Glendaleborn country-pop singer
Marty Robbins, who
made a name in Phoenix
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC
before leaving Arizona in
1951 to record in Nashville. After scoring a
huge country hit with “A
White Sport Coat and a
Pink Carnation,” Robbins
went to New York to
cross over into pop with
“El Paso” and “Don’t
Worry” in the early ’60s.
“Marty knew he could
do bigger and better
things, and knew there
was an entire (pop) audience he was missing out
on,” Dixon says.
Roots of waila
The ’60s also brought
broad exposure to a style
of dance and music that
had its seeds in southern
Arizona in the 1800s.
Catholic missionaries
taught members of Arizona’s Tohono O’odham
tribe (called the Papago
at the time) to play fiddle, and when German
settlers arrived later,
they brought accordions
and polka music. Norteño
sounds came up from the
Mexican border areas,
and cumbia later arrived
from South America.
Young tribal members
returned from boarding
schools with a love of
brass and woodwinds.
From the hodgepodge,
waila emerged as a precursor to world music,
and Florence’s Joaquin
Brothers were premier
performers of the style
starting in the mid-’60s.
The original waila gatherings ran all night, to
avoid the heat.
Angelo Joaquin Jr.,
whose late father started
the Joaquin Brothers,
says a waila festival that
he has helped run in
Tucson since 1989 has
brought the Native and
non-Native communities

“We live on the second-largest
Indian reservation, and, for years,
there has been a wall between the
reservation and Tucson,” he says.
“Since we put on our first waila
festival, that has really helped to
remove the wall, or at least soften
it.”
A world away in the mid-’60s,
Vincent Furnier and some classmates at Cortez High School in
northwest Phoenix formed a band
that would use a number of
names, including the Spiders.
Furnier, who became Rock and
Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper,
and his group dreamed up early
versions of the theatrics that acts
like Manson and Ozzy Osbourne
would use decades later.
“They painted white rope (to
create) a web-type thing between
them and the audience,” Dixon
recalls. “It looked like a spider
web.”
Radio pioneer
Another Valley music pioneer
spotlighted at the MIM came into
his own in the ’70s and ’80s.
After making a fortune as a
California-based country singer
and a star on the comedy series
“Hee Haw,” Buck Owens purchased radio stations in the midto late-’60s in Bakersfield and

Recent acts
The MIM exhibit also spotlights acts from the past few
decades that are better-known
to younger visitors.
Tempe’s Gin Blossoms
helped usher in the jangle-rock
of the ’90s with 1992’s “New
Miserable Experience,” an album Valley concert promoter
Charlie Levy calls one of the
most solid of that era. Levy also
credits Mesa’s Jimmy Eat
World with recording a seminal
album for fans of melodic, introspective “emo” music —
1999’s “Clarity.”
Sparks pumped up Arizona’s
pop scene by winning the sixth
season of “American Idol” in
2007, and she since has recorded two million-selling albums.
Phoenix-born country singer
Dierks Bentley has joined
Sparks in the million-selling
ranks by becoming one of the
new breed of country stars
putting plenty of rock into his
music, and Tucson’s Calexico
has built a national following
with its own blend of Latin,
Americana and alternative-rock
influences.
Strawn says he and the MIM
staff can’t wait to see what Arizona musicians will create to
build beyond what “I Am AZ
Music” has on display.
“If the coming 100 years are
anything like what we have
seen so far, music fans have a
lot to look forward to,” he said.

A golden guitar day
Future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Duane Eddy was still
playing in Valley nightclubs in 1957, when he purchased the
guitar that would help bring him global fame. Eddy recently
looked back on that day:
“I bought that guitar in the spring of 1957 from Ziggie’s,
which is on North Third Street (in Phoenix). It’s still there.
Ziggie (Zardus), the old man, was running it then, and I went
in looking for a new guitar. I was kind of
dreaming. There was a white (Gretsch)
Falcon on the wall, and I drooled over that
for a while. … It was $760, which I definitely
couldn‘t afford. So Ziggie said, ‘I got something that’s more practical for you.’ He
opens up this case, hands me this orange
Gretsch 6120, Chet Atkins model. I sat down,
and it nestled in there just perfect. The neck
Duane
was a dream, narrow and easy to play. It was
Eddy
perfect for my hand. I said, ‘This is perfect,
Ziggie. Let’s work out a deal. How much is it?’ ‘$450.’ ‘I can’t
do it now, Ziggie, but maybe toward the end of summer.’
“He said, ‘What are you playing now?’ I said, ‘I got a Gibson
(Les Paul) gold top, ’54.’ … I went out to the car, got it, and
he looked at it. He said, ‘I can give you $65 toward the new
one; your payments will be $17.50 a month.’ I said, ‘I’m not 21
yet.’ He said, ‘Your dad can sign (for the loan) when he comes
up from Coolidge.’ So I picked up my Gibson and started to
leave. He said, ‘Where you going?’ I said, ‘I’ll be back when
my dad comes to sign.’ He said, ‘No, you won’t. Leave that
Gibson here and take the Gretsch.’ I said, ‘You’re kidding.’ He
said, ‘No you can have it, take it. I trust you.’
“So I walked out of there with a brand-new guitar that day,
and it was the guitar that was to make my fame and fortune.
I didn‘t know it at the time. I just knew that I had a guitar
that I loved dearly.”

Phoenix, where he had lived with
his family in the 1930s and 1940s
as a Dust Bowl refugee.
The Phoenix stations would
become KNIX-AM (1580) and -FM
(102.5).
During the ’70s Owens and a
team including his son Michael
and program director Larry Daniels pioneered the use of audience
surveys and marketing to a wide
audience to make KNIX-FM the
top station in the Phoenix market.
The Valley also was put on the
nation’s map of fine instrument
makers in 1975, when the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery
opened.
Co-founder and current director William Eaton has become
internationally known for the
one-of-a-kind instruments he
created at the school. He has built
several variations on his harpguitar design that feature multiple necks or loops of wood to
allow for 20 or more strings, producing the sound of both instruments.
“I envision some sound I am
looking for … and an instrument
is created,” Eaton says. “I do that
simply out of the passion of a
performer.”
Eaton recently built an 18-footlong, 18-string instrument from a
dead tree on the school’s property.
The Roberto-Venn School has
graduated more than 1,700 students, who have come to the Valley from every continent except
Antarctica, Eaton says.
