"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/24/2015

It's Memorial Day weekend!  To that end, we shared a good number of songs that were written about soldiers who didn't make it home.  Make sure you take a moment to remember what the holiday is all about sometime this weekend.

Happy 90th, Mac Wiseman!

We also celebrated two important music icons who celebrated birthdays this weekend:  Bob Dylan, who turned 74 on May 24th and Country Music and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Mac Wiseman, who celebrated his 90th birthday on May 23rd.  In the case of the former, to start off the show, we shared four songs written by Bob Dylan which have been covered in the Bluegrass World.  For Mac Wiseman, we played a few songs performed by "The Voice With A Heart," as well as numbers that he recorded during his time with Bill Monroe &  His Blue Grass Boys and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs.  Mac Wiseman -- what a life! 

There was a whole bunch of music to be heard from projects which have recently been released or will soon be released including recordings from Sideline, Big Country Bluegrass, Gold Heart, the Band of Ruhks, Dale Ann Bradley, and Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out.  There was other newer music from Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Feller & Hill, Michelle Canning, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Adkins & Loudermilk.

Hope you enjoyed something you heard today, and that you will be sure to join Jim next Sunday for another edition of Bluegrass Café.

Happy Memorial Day!

Amy
