Dreaming My Dreams (Waylon Jennings Album)
''Dreaming My Dreams'' is the twenty-second studio album by American country music artist Waylon Jennings. The album was co-produced with Jack Clement and recorded at Glaser Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, between February and July 1974. Following the 1972 renewal of his contract with RCA Records, Jennings gained artistic freedom and started to produce his own records - a feat unheard of amongst artists signed to major Nashville record labels at the time. He changed his image to reflect the emerging outlaw movement which himself and other like-minded artists were driving in rebellion against the powerful and controlling Nashville recording establishment. Jennings recorded the critically acclaimed '' Lonesome, On'ry and Mean'' and '' Honky Tonk Heroes'', and the commercial success '' This Time''. Jennings left the recording studios of RCA and moved his operation to the Glaser Sound Studio. After producer Clement married Jennings' sister-in-law and they became acquainted, ...

Aereo-Plain
''Aereo-Plain'' is a 1971 studio album by American bluegrass singer-songwriter and instrumentalist John Hartford. It reached number 193 on The Billboard 200 chart. Background The music on ''Aereo-Plain'' is a blend of traditional bluegrass musicianship and the hippie spirit of the '70s. The album sold so poorly that Warner Bros. decided to devote no promotion at all to Hartford's next release ''Morning Bugle''. Nevertheless, ''Aereo-Plain'' has been called the forerunner of the genre now known as "Newgrass". Hartford subsequently asked to be released from his contract and later signed with Flying Fish Records. The other members of the Aereo-Plain Band were bluegrass veterans Norman Blake, Vassar Clements, Tut Taylor, and Randy Scruggs. The sessions were controlled but relaxed, as Taylor commented, "John let us play what we wanted to play. 'Cause that's one of the beautiful parts about it—he just let us get in there and pick." Producer David Bromberg recounted, "We'd sit ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Platinum (music Sales)
Music recording certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped, sold, or streamed a certain number of units. The threshold quantity varies by type (such as album, single, music video) and by nation or territory (see List of music recording certifications). Almost all countries follow variations of the RIAA certification categories, which are named after precious materials (gold, platinum and diamond).

Typically, they are awarded only to international releases and are awarded individually for each country where the album is sold.

History The original gold and silver record awards were presented to artists by their own record companies to publicize their sales achi ...
