"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/23/2014 (plus one hour of "Sunday Night Folk Festival")

It's NCAA Basketball Tournament time, and a Women's BB first-round game tonight at UConn's Gampel Pavilion meant the campus was extremely busy this afternoon.  It also meant that since our basketball broadcast began at 8PM, Susan Forbes Hansen turned over the first hour of her "Sunday Night Folk Festival" to us to play some "folksy" Bluegrass.  Mission accomplished, methinks...

As far as the Bluegrass goes, we included a bit of newer material in today's show from the band known as Detour, as well as a forthcoming project from Dobro great, Phil Leadbetter.  Beyond that, the music that made up today's Bluegrass Cafe was a mixture of old and new.  There were two other recent recordings featured in the first hour of "Sunday Night Folk Festival," and those came to us from the Special Consensus, Laurie Lewis, and a live recording featuring Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers with Edie Brickell.  

The all-star, radio gospel quartet -
great stuff!

For a bit of a change, I picked out a few songs to play from the Brown's Ferry Four -- an act that sort of pre-dated Bluegrass.  It's clear, though, that this quartet (Alton & Rabon Delmore, Grandpa Jones, Merle Travis) influenced a whole bunch of wonderful Bluegrass gospel music from several acts (but especially the wonderful Doyle Lawson).  It's always nice to hear music from the original sources that clearly had an impact on the sounds you hear from your favorite performers.  

Hope you were able to listen to at least a little bit of the radio show today...and whether you could or couldn't...we sure hope you'll join Jim again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for lots more of the best in Bluegrass! 

Have a good week!

Amy
