Playlist - 11/23/2014

Hi Folks.

This show had a few focus areas, the big one being the large number of classic, rare, and obscure songs and tunes from vinyl sources - 23 tracks.  The playlist below indicates the vinyl by the mark (LP) or (45) next the the label name.

James King at the Firebox, Nov. 22, 2014

Another focus area was the music of James King.  James performed at the Firebox the evening before this show, so we saluted James by playing some of his early recordings as well as his most recent CD, and several in between as well as some Longview recordings in which James is a member.

Last but not least, we featured several tracks from the brand new CD from Larry Gillis.  Alex Leach and Ella Naiman Warde -- long time Gillis associates -- are featured.

Other newer music included songs from Russ Carson, Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass, The Earls of Leicester, Becky Buller, Turning Ground, and our teenage friends from West Virginia, Marteka and William Lake.

It is fall break at UCONN, so you may hear both Jim and Amy filling in at random times in the schedule for absent students.  We will give notice on our Facebook page when we have a bluegrass-type fill-in coming up.

Amy will be back next week hosting Bluegrass Cafe, and Marti and I will be back on Red Rooster Party just in front of that.

Have a safe Thanksgiving.

Jim Beaver
