This was a fun show full of new releases and rare classics. We spent some time with Terry Baucom's new release, "In A Groove," as well as new releases from Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Larry Cordle, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Tom Mindte & Jeremy Stephens, James Reams & The Barnstormers, Sierra Hull, and Joe Walsh.
A special theme for a couple of sets was "coal mining." The topic has been a great source of inspiration for songs pro and con about all aspects of the activity covering economic impacts, environmental impacts, and health and emotional impacts. I believe I could do at least a whole show of bluegrass coal mining songs and still have many left over.
Key tracks from the Heritage Corner included both sides of the first single ever released by The Johnson Mountain Boys, and some tracks from a 1981 LP from Buzz Busby that included Eddie Stubbs, Dudley Connell, and Lamar Grier.
