Playlist - 1/4/2015

Hi Folks.

For the first show of 2015 I decided to play some things I've been listening to lately.

That included new music from Larry Gillis; Phil Leadbetter; The Spinny Brothers; Larry Sparks; Nathan Stanley; Marteka and William; Crowe, Lawson & Williams; Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver; Tommy Brown; The Earls of Leiscester; Lonesome River Band; Randall Hibbitts; Russ Carson; Larry Stephenson; Missy Werner; Becky Buller; The South Carolina Broadcasters; and Mac Wiseman.

There were several notable Heritage Corner specials including three tracks from the 1986 Ray Davis recording of Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys Introducing James King.   We also heard a track from the first Johnson Mountain Boys album on Rounder that has never been reissued on CD.  Probably the rarest thing we heard was a track recorded for a movie soundtrack in 1961 by Don Reno & Red Smiley.

Other Heritage Corner classics included tracks from Buzz Busby; The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover;The Dillards; The Virginia Mountain Boys; Dave Evans; Joe Val; Flatt & Scruggs; Red Allen and Frank Wakefield; The Stanley Brothers; and Rafe Brady.





There was a high music-to-noise ratio on this show, and it was a good feeling all around.  We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.

Amy will be back next Sunday making the banjos and fiddles ring, so don't forget to tune in.
