Playlist - 4/5/2015

Hi Folks.

Just prior to the show I read a remembrance of a live Bill Monroe concert by Everett Alan Lilly who had been recruited while a teen to play bass for the October 1964 gig.  Everett had just discovered several recordings from the concert were on a disc of live Monroe recordings from Smithsonian Folkways, and was elated to be able to hear now what had been a memory for more than fifty years. After reading that story, I had to begin the show with "Raw Hide" and "Y'all Come" from that concert.

We introduced some new music on this show including songs from Steve Gulley and New Pinnacle and Ronnie Reno.

Other newer music included tracks from The Gibson Brothers, Becky Buller, Cody Shuler, Adkins & Loudermilk, Tommy Brown, Volume Five, Johnny Warren & Charlie Cushman, and Mountain Faith. 

We had a vinyl set selected from our Heritage Corner archives that included gems from Benny and Vallie Cain, Nolan Faulkner and James Miller, Phyllis Boyens, The Doug Dillard Band, Bill Hall & Northwind, Don Stover, and Hylo Brown (we played Hylo's only studio recording of his Grand Ole Opry Song, recorded 1977.)

Additional Heritage Corner material included Larry Richardson & Red Barker, Red Allen & Frank Wakefield, Jimmy Martin, The Church Brothers, Dee Stone, Jimmie Williams & Red Ellis, The Stanley Brothers, J. D. Jarvis, and in the week of the 56th anniversary of the first performance of a bluegrass band at Carnegie Hall, we saluted Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys.  We'll get the actual recordings of that concert on a future show as we dig them out of the Heritage Corner archives.

The closing inspirational and gospel set carried a Good Friday/Easter theme in observance of the day.

Radiothon will cover the next two Sunday shows, so listen for the whole gang as we encourage you to support WHUS -- the station that allows us to bring you this great music.
