| Wayne & Josh Crowe showcasing at IBMA 2014 -- Mountain Fever Records showcase. |
Our new selections this week included a couple of brand-new recordings both from the Crowe Brothers as well as Jimmy Gaudreau & Moondi Klein. Other 2014 recordings were included, too, from the likes of Missy Werner, the Spinney Brothers, Marteka & William Lake, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Mac Wiseman, Flatt Lonesome, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, Hot Rize, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, and the Earls of Leicester. 
The new recording from 89-year-old Mac Wiseman is called "Songs From My Mother's Hand." As our show was airing, this music legend was being introduced as one of the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame. "Songs From My Mother's Hand" is just that -- songs recently recorded by Mac Wiseman with lyrics that had been carefully noted in several notebooks when first heard by Ruth Wiseman on the radio in the 1930s and 1940s. Mrs. Wiseman's son kept these notebooks for 70+ years, and chose the songs he wanted to record for this latest project. Amazing...and worth a listen. Check out this interview with Mac Wiseman on a recent NPR broadcast: http://www.npr.org/2014/09/27/351538413/mac-wiseman-returns-to-the-songs-of-his-childhood
Halloween is coming up in just a few days, too, and since there is absolutely no shortage of ghost-related Bluegrass songs, we put together several of 'em in anticipation of Halloween. Those songs came from the likes of the Hillmen, David Parmley, the Dillards, the Larry Stephenson Band, Front Range, the Steep Canyon Rangers, the Country Gentlemen, and the Seldom Scene. Happy Halloween, everyone!
Jim will join you next Sunday afternoon for the next edition of Bluegrass Cafe. Be sure to join him, won't you?
Enjoy the week!
