"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/17/2014 (plus, a semi-Bluegrass fill-in, 8/14/2014)

Sunday's radio show featured a good deal of newer Bluegrass, some classic tunes, and a whole bunch of songs inspired by one iPod on shuffle!  Programming ideas come from the strangest places sometimes, eh?

Hylo Brown working with Earl & Lester
(and Paul Warren, too)

This weekend, while I was listening to a shuffle of the 5,000+ songs loaded on my iPod, I heard Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver's version of Hylo Brown's "Your Crazy Heart."  Hearing this song made me remember how unique was the voice of Frank Brown, Jr. -- known professionally as Hylo Brown (1922-2003) -- and that, in turn, made me think that he'd written some pretty great Bluegrass songs that ought be heard this very afternoon.  And so, we included the aforementioned DLQ song, as well as Hylo Brown-penned songs by Jimmy Martin, Tony Rice, James King, and IIIrd Tyme Out, as well as several selections by Hylo, himself.  Fun!  

Since we're getting so close to IBMA's World of Bluegrass festivities, it always seems like there's a ton of new music coming out this time of year.  We played a good deal of that on Sunday's show, too, from performers including a brand new "trio" recording from J.D. Crowe, Doyle Lawson & Paul Williams, as well as Darren Nicholson, Danny Roberts, the Roland White Band, Chase & Melissa Johner, Dick Smith (from "The Patuxent Banjo Project"), Breaking Grass, Nightflyer, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, Larry Sparks, Missy Werner, and Steve Gulley.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday afternoon, and that you'll be sure to join Jim next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!
