"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 6/23/2013 - Old Vinyl

Hi Folks,

This was a fill-in show for me because Amy was not available today.  I used the opportunity to play some old "moldy" vinyl bluegrass that needed to see some light outside of the Heritage Corner.  Some album covers from the source material are shown below.

Cullen Galyean on guitar on this rare recording

Lowell Varney and Landon Messer
Two of the best bluegrassers you never heard of

Flat and Scruggs on the radio - 1957

Boone Estep - old timey bluegrass fiddler

Dutch couple who recorded this LP with Don Stover & Red Rector

Charlie's first LP after the split with Bill Napier - 1970

First bluegrass album by a female leader - 1962

Leslie Keith 1974 LP -- composed "Black Mountain Blues"

Rare LP of Red Allen, Frank Wakefield, & Don Stover
produced by Toshio Watanabe

Not all of the music was legacy as we played a swath of newer music from the likes of The Gibson Brothers, Michael Martin Murphey, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Kathy Kallick, The Kruger Brothers, Clinton Gregory, Dawn Kenney, Scott Brannon, Richard Bennett, The Boxcars, and a good number of tunes from the mandolin duo of Alan Bibey and Wayne Benson.

The Red Rooster Party show just before this edition of Bluegrass Cafe had an extensive interview with Gordon Pike and Darlene Champagne who grew up with the Pike Family in Eastern Connecticut and made music with that pioneering family.  We played a few songs from Darlene Champagne (Reflections of Grass) and Gordon Pike and the Dixie Darlins' to accent that previous show.

Amy will be back next Sunday, so don't miss it.  For some roots of this music, tune in two hours earlier for Red Rooster Party.
