"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/18/2013

Sunday's radio show was another full one with a few IBMA nominees, Bluegrass birthday tributes to two Country Music Hall of Famers, and some brand spanking-new music, too.  

To start things off, we played several tunes featuring the wonderful Paul Warren, who was announced this week as one of two soon-to-be-inducted members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame.  As Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs had broken up the Foggy Mountain Boys long before I ever came to truly appreciate Bluegrass music, it was through Warren disciples such as the Johnson Mountain Boys' Eddie Stubbs where I first heard the name of Paul Warren.  Since the old Flatt & Scruggs TV shows mostly from the early 1960s have been issued on DVD in recent years, I've come to fully appreciate the fiddle work of Paul Warren, and I've been able to realize what an incredible spark he provided for the Foggy Mountain Boys.  What an amazing life he lived, and what an incredible legacy of recordings we can still share!  

The other Hall of Fame inductee for 2013 is the well-revered Tony Rice, and we played a bit of music from him, too.

As the final nominees for IBMA Awards were announced this past week, we also featured a little bit of music from a few of the nominees for awards this year, including the Spinney Brothers, Balsam Range, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, and the Gibson Brothers.  

In addition to short sets of Bluegrass covers of songs originally recorded by

Country Music Hall of Famers Buck Owens (born August 12, 1929) and Porter Wagoner (born August 12, 1927), we also included a good dosage of brand new Bluegrass music.  The newest of the new came from projects by Terry Baucom, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, and Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, but there was also newer music from the likes of the Tuttles with A.J. Lee, Big Country Bluegrass, Hammertowne, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.  We also took a few moments to share a few Bluegrass gospel songs of the Country Gentlemen, as we remembered the one and only Charlie Waller who died on August 18, 2004.  

It was a full show, and an enjoyable one from my end of the microphone.  Hope you agree with this assessment.  

Have a good week!

Amy
