Chanteur
Country US né le 3 Mai 1944 à Corpus Christie (Texas), mais installé à Austin
(Texas). Rusty Wier est décédé le 9 Octobre 2009
Texas
singer/songwriter Rusty Wier found a gold mine when he wrote "Don't It Make You
Wanna Dance." More than half a dozen different singers recorded the song,
including Chris Le Doux,
Jerry Jeff Walker, and
Barbara Mandrell. But it was Bonnie
Raitt singing it on the soundtrack for Urban Cowboy that put it on the
map in a big way when sales were certified as double platinum. Years earlier,
his first taste of entertaining wasn't nearly as lucrative, but it did make a
lasting impression.
Wier found out that he liked to bring smiles to an audience when he was just
three years old and galloping on a toy stick horse among the tables of his
father's Austin restaurant, accompanied by "the William Tell Overture." He
hasn't stopped since, although the venues and the pay scale have changed a bit
over the years. A decade after that first experience, Wier began playing drums
with an outfit called the Centennials. He moved on to local rock groups Lavender
Hill Express and Wig, playing with them for about a decade. When Lavender Hill
Express derailed, Wier picked up a guitar and learned how to play the instrument
without any formal music instruction. The self-taught guitarist, having learned
how to play from nothing but an instruction book, went on to perform with
numerous artists, among them the Marshall
Tucker Band, Gatemouth Brown, the
Charlie Daniels Band, Willie Nelson,
Steve Fromholtz, Asleep At The Wheel, the
Amazing Rhythm Aces, and Ozark Mountain
Daredevils. At one point, his opening act was an up-and-coming country
singer named George Strait. Wier,
with artists such as Michael Martin Murphey
and Walker, was present at the
start of the movement that became known as "the Austin Sound." ABC Records was
the first company to record Wier. He later inked deals with Columbia Records and
20th Century.
