"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 10/13/2013 Jim Shumate, Mark Newton & Steve Thomas

Hi Folks.

Jim Shumate in 1980

This show revolved around two key events, one being the loss of pioneering first generation bluegrass fiddler Jim Shumate  (Oct. 21, 1921 - Oct. 10, 2013,) and the other being a live interview with Mark Newton and Steve Thomas -- veteran bluegrassers with very long resumes who have released a collaborative album titled "Reborn."

Flatt & Scruggs' first band
Jim Shumate is on fiddle

We played a couple of classic cuts from Flatt & Scruggs' first recording session that had Jim Shumate on fiddle, and throughout the show we played fiddle tunes from Jim's 1980 fiddle album "Bluegrass Fiddle Supreme."



We also played music from many of Mark Newton's past projects along with songs from his and Steve Thomas' album "Reborn."

Check out their video for "Old McDonald Sold The Farm":

Other newer music included selections from a new album from Jeff Scroggins & Colorado, Noam Pikelny's excellent new Kenny Baker tribute album, Alex Leach, Larry Efaw & The Bluegrass Mountaineers, James King's new album of country songs done bluegrass style (as well as an oldie from one of James' 1988 LPs), Del & Dawg (Del McCoury and David Grisman), Peter Rowan, Locust Ridge, Lou Reid and Carolina, Kim Robins, and Don Rigsby.

 Besides the Flatt & Scruggs and James King oldies, The Heritage Corner included old recordings from Charlie Moore, Jimmie Williams & Red Ellis, and Doc Watson.

Don't miss James & Cathy Ward on Thursday afternoon with their program, "Bluegrass Rules," when they will bring you the rebroadcast of the 2013 IBMA Awards Show.

Amy will be with you next Sunday, so be sure to tune in.
