International acclaim given to Everhart Train.” The interview with Everhart didn’t focus on his Grammy nomi nation or international reputation, instead it was a journey into Ever hart’s style of music. 'Big bucks don’t make the art form. My music’s not commercial. It’s just traditional country and very real.' “With only a bass and banjo player accompanying me, 1 an reach people with my music m it's purest form.” Everhart continues discussing his musical career, which spans more than four decades, in a smooth, relaxing voice that breaks into laughter every few moments, mainly because he’s so at case while interviewing. Everhart’s voice sets one at ease. During the Lincoln to Coun cil Bluffs phone call it seemed as though two old friends who hadn’t heard from each other in years, were now trying to bring back memories. Bom in 1936, Everhart grew up in a region of the western sandhills which was homesteaded by his early ancestors. Everhart never learned how to read music. By the age of five, he was playing the harmonica on his grandfather’s knees or pounding on a local neighbor’s piano. It appears that Everhart’s soul has always been in country music, but his ’60s youth was a far step away from Nashville’s doors. After fronting tenor sax for the Rolling Stones and backing up legends like Chubby Checker, the Animals and the Byrds, Everhart then left rock ‘n’ roll to rid himself of the drug scene settling over the creativity of his musical comrades. He jumped out of the rock ‘n’ roll scene during the Jimi Hendrix era, but regardless of Everhart’s reasons for bidding rock V roll good-bye, he felt even more disen chanted by certain country music powers. “I just wanted to get back to my roots and preserve country music instead of following Nashville’s routes,” he said.
