Playlist - 7/13/2014 Mike Daniels Interview

Hi Folks.

I had been away for nearly a month on business and personal travel, so it was very enjoyable to get back behind the WHUS microphone and explore much of the new music that arrived during my absence.

The highlight of the day was an interview with Mike Daniels -- the banjo picker with the Eastern Kentucky band Turning Ground.  Mike, besides being an excellent musician, is part of bluegrass history because he was Hylo Brown's last banjo picker in a string that included Jim Smoak, Earl Scruggs, Curtis McPeake, Lowell Varney, Billy Edwards, and other great pickers.  We heard about that as well as the new CD from Turning Ground titled Cell Of Mine, and heard several tracks from that new disc.  Many thanks to Mike for taking time out of his Sunday to speak to New England bluegrass fans.

Other new music included titles from Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick (a tribute to Vern & Ray!), Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Balsam Range, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, Becky Buller, Roland White, Dry Branch Fire Squad, gospel band Crosspoint, Steve Gulley, Mike Scott & Friends, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

From the Heritage Corner we heard both sides of a rare single from Fred Pike - Bill Rawlings and the Twin River Boys, and songs from Mac Martin, Earl Taylor & Jim McCall, and The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover.

We hope you enjoyed the show.  Tune into WHUS next Sunday when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring.
