"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/11/2015

The Gibson Brothers played to a packed house on January 10th

Sunday's show was my first of 2015, and it was a fun one!  There were songs to "celebrate" the cold and chill of January, a few tunes to remember the birthday of Country Music Hall of Famer Ray Price, and several selections from the soon-to-be-released Rounder recording for the Gibson Brothers -- "Brotherhood."  Hope you were able to tune in to the show!  

Happy Birthday, Ray Price
(January 12, 1926-December 16, 2003)

As far as country music performers who have been covered in the Bluegrass World, the music of Ray Price must rank right toward the top.  We could have played several more than six Ray Price selections to remember what would have been the 89th birthday of this Country Music Hall of Famer on January 12th, but we limited ourselves to two songs sung by the Cherokee Cowboy, himself, as well as four covers from IIIrd Tyme Out, Mickey Harris, the Del McCoury Band, and White Mountain Bluegrass.

Hitting the stores on February 24th, but
hitting the WHUS airwaves now...

After seeing the ever-popular Gibson Brothers perform in Lexington, MA on Saturday evening, it was fun to be able to play a few selections from the Gibsons' new record -- their Rounder Records debut -- which will be officially released on February 24th.  This tribute to brother duos from one of the best brother duos working today has been talked about and "in the making" for what seems like forever.  The good thing is that the record is outstanding with a nice variety of selections from several brother duos, including the Monroe Brothers, Blue Sky Boys, the Louvin Brothers, Jim & Jesse, the Osborne Brothers, and the Everly Brothers, to name just a few.  

Sure hope you have a nice week, and that you'll be sure to join Jim for next Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe!
