MOVIES ART MUSIC WINERIES THINGS TO DO BOOKS COVER STORY FESTIVALS THEATER
Jason Aldean is the mostpopular male singer inthe country music
universe, with the possibleexceptions of Eric Churchand Luke Bryan. All threeare nominated this year bythe Country MusicAssociation for MaleVocalist of the Year, anaward that will be handedout Nov. 1.
Another common threadbonding the three buddingsuperstars is they will allparticipate on “The OnlyWay I Know,” a can’t-misshit included on Aldean’supcoming album “NightTrain,” scheduled forrelease Oct. 16.
Aldean, who has sold out
every 2012 concertappearance, must beexcited about the potentialof the new album. So isHerrin native David LeeMurphy, who wrote a pairof tunes for the project,including the highlyanticipated “The Only WayI Know” and “WalkingAway.”
“You feel good when theartist tells you a song youwrote is going to be on thenext album. However, thereis always a chance at thelast minute they will find asong they like better andyou get knocked out,” hesaid. “I’ve learned after along time in this businessthat it’s best to take a low-keyed approach and not gettoo excited until you areholding the new CD in yourhand and see your name on
it. Then you know it’s real.”Murphy never brags
about the mind-blowinglist on contacts developedin a career that hasspanned four decades inMusic City. He wasn’t evengoing to mention amarathon writing sessionhe had with Keith Urban,another CMA Male Vocalistof the Year nominee for2012, until the Australianmegastar tweeted to theworld about the event.
“I’ve known Keith for along time, since he was in aband in the late 90s calledThe Ranch. No one knewwho he was back then,except he played a prettymean guitar,” Murphy said.“We wrote a song togethercalled ‘I Won’t be Sorry.’ Hewent in the studio and cutthe song on Sept. 6 and was
pretty excited about theresults, so he tweeted aboutit, which is pretty cool.”
Again, Murphy says thereare many enormousobstacles “I Won’t BeSorry” must clear before itis played on local radio.
“You never know howmany songs Keith is goingto put on an album. He willhave full-studioproduction on at least 20songs, then you have tosurvive the process whenthey start cutting it downto the very best. Making iton an album is hard;getting a single release is alot more difficult,” he said.
The 53-year old Murphyis a 1977 graduate of HerrinHigh School. Whileattending SIU Carbondale,he worked as a disc jockeyat his hometown radio
station WJPF.Murphy migrated to
Nashville in 1983 andlabored in virtual obscurityfor a decade, penningminor tunes for RebaMcEntire and Doug Stone,before signing with MCAand hitting it big in 1995with the lethal one-twopunch of “Party Crowd”and “Dust on the Bottle,”which topped the Billboardcharts for two weeks.
Local fans will have aspecial opportunity to seeMurphy in concert as partof the Paintin’ the TownTour with Darryl Worleyand Bo Bice on the openingday of the Rowdy RidgeMusic Fest on Sept. 21-22in Sturgis, Ky.
Gates open at RowdyRidge at 5 p.m. on Sept. 21and the schedule includes:

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN
MURPHYSBORO —“Lil’” Ed Williams didn’thave to look far to find arole model.
Growing up in Chicago,he had a direct bloodlineto a musical legend, an
inspiration for channelinghis inner soul and turningit into the sounds of theblues. Williams’ uncle, J.B.Hutto, had forged a path inthe genre and secured hisplace in the city’s musicallegacy. And a youngWilliams was thebeneficiary of his uncle’sknowledge andexperience.
“He didn’t get a chanceto teach me what I knownow, but he got mestarted,” he said.
Williams began playingmusic at age 12 — beforehe was even a teenager —and used that foundationto build a career that haslasted more than fourdecades. Along the way, hemet three friends, andthey’ve been kicking ittogether ever since.
Paired with bassistJames “Pookie” Young,guitarist Mike Garrett anddrummer Kelly Littleton,Williams has toured theworld performing as Lil’Ed and the BluesImperials. The band hasperformed in locationsfrom Turkey to Tokyo.
“It’s a little differentfeel; people take to themusic a little differently,”he said of playing in frontof diverse crowds, fromChicago to Memphis andJapan to Europe. “Theystill love it; it’s just adifferent feel.”
The band is now headedback to Southern Illinoisfor the revitalizedRiverside Blues Festival onSaturday, Sept. 22, atRiverside Park. Lil’ Ed andthe Blues Imperials will bejoined by other musicians,including Jessica Jo Jolly,The Mud Sills, King Juba,
Ivas John Band, Lew Jettonand 61 South and TawlPaul and Slappin’ HenryBlue.
While the band hasplayed at different localesthroughout the region,Williams is excited to playthe festival and makes hispromise very clear.
“It’s going to be fun,” hesaid. “I always have fun. Ifwe have some true blueslovers down there, it’sgoing to be a good time.”
The festival, sponsoredby the Southern IllinoisBlues Society and theMurphysboro Chamber ofCommerce, runs from11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.Tickets are $10 in advanceand $15 at the gate.Advance tickets areavailable at the Chamberoffice, Farm Fresh and theOld Rome in Murphysboroand PMAC Music andPlaza Records inCarbondale or online atsiblues.com.
For Williams and hisbandmates, thisperformance will be partof a continued celebrationof the release of theirnewest album, “Jump
Start.” The CD features 13original tracks penned byWilliams and a cover of hisuncle Hutto’s “If YouChange Your Mind.”
“I always pay tribute tomy uncle on all myalbums,” he said. “It keepshim alive in our hearts andour minds.”
Playing music broughtout a different side inHutto, and that’s whatWilliams enjoysexperiencing himself. He’sshared that personalitywith crowds of thousandslive in arenas and onnational television “LateNight with ConanO’Brien.”
When the time comes,he’ll slow down the paceof his career, but rightnow, Williams feels he’sonly just beginning to payhis dues to this business.But there’s one goal thatremains unfulfilled fornow.
“I hope one day I mightbe able to play in theWhite House — or at leastclose to it,” he said.

Find ‘Nemo’ all over again — this time in 3-DFinding Nemo 3D ****Rated G; starring thevoices of Albert Brooks,Ellen DeGeneres, WillemDafoe, Geoffrey Rush,Barry Humphries and BillHunter; directed byAndrew Stanton and LeeUnkrich; opening Friday atShowPlace 8 inCarbondale and AMCCentre 8 in Marion.
BY ROGER MOOREMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
It’s the details thatstand out whenever aclassic film is convertedto 3-D.
With “Finding Nemo,”the shimmering seasurface, scratches on thelens of a diver’s goggles,and smudge marks Nemothe clownfish makeswhen he mashes his faceup against the glass wallof the aquarium thatimprisons him all pop offthe screen in the 3-Dreissue of Pixar’sundisputed masterpiece.
The fish seem to float inbetween the surface ofthe screen and the deepblue underwaterbackgrounds of the SouthPacific, an effect evenmore pronounced in 3-D.
Perhaps it’s not enoughto warrant shelling out 3-D dollars to go see amovie that’s long beenone of the best-sellinghome videos. If you havekids, you already have thisat home. But “FindingNemo,” back in theatersnine years after itsrelease, is a reminder thatsometimes “instant” and“classic” can go togetherin a sentence describing agreat movie.
And “Finding Nemo” isa great movie, one of thebest animations for
children ever made.A timid and over-
protective single-dadclownfish (Albert Brooks)overprotects his mildlydisabled (shrunken fin)only son (voiced byAlexander Gould) to thepoint where Nemofoolishly rebels and ispromptly snatched andtossed into the tank at anAustralian dentist’soffice.
Dad flees the comfort ofhis reefside sea anemonehome, and with the helpof a seriously absent-minded blue tang namedDory (Ellen DeGeneres),sets out to find his son.And the kid, with the helpof a tank full of mentors(Willem Dafoe, BradGarrett, Allison Janney,Austin Pendleton), plotshis escape to get back todad.
It’s a simple story,perfectly executed.Especially when it comesto the voices.
Dory — all halting, self-interrupting comicalkvetching, writtenspecifically for DeGeneresand animated around hergestures — steals themovie. “I suffer fromshort-term memory loss.It runs in my family ... Atleast I think it does ...hmm. Where ARE they?”
It’s a grand quest filledwith funny, broadly-drawn but wise characters— sea turtles that speak“Surfer Dude,” Australiansharks trying to turnvegetarian (BarryHumphries, and see if yourecognize Eric Bana), ahelpful, plucky pelican(Geoffrey Rush).
And what wonderfulmessages. No matterwhat, “just keepswimming.” “Trust, it’swhat friends do.” Andkids: “You can’t hold onto
them forever.”So don’t think of
“Nemo” as just another 3-D conversion. Think ofthis re-release as anencore, a handytouchstone for you andyour kids. “FindingNemo” was and remains
the gold standard againstwhich all other modernanimated films aremeasured, a classic fromthe day it premiered.
“Nemo” is preceded bythe new Pixar “Toy Story”short “Partysaurus Rex,” ahilarious dinosaur-out-
