"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/25/2016

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we shared a full three hours filled with everything from classic Bluegrass to music from the latest country singer to "go Bluegrass" to a few songs in tribute to one of the Grand Ladies of the Grand Ole Opry.  Hope you were able to join us!  

Jean Shepard
 (November 21, 1933 - September 25, 2016)

Though Jean Shepard was never a "Bluegrass Singer," she was a deserving 2011 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame, as well as a 60+ year member of the Grand Ole Opry.  Her passing this morning (September 25, 2016) inspired me to dig out a couple of tracks featuring Jean singing two of her hits, as well as a Bluegrass version of a big 1973 record for Jean Shepard, "Slippin' Away."  Click the link to read a fine memorial piece by Juli Thanki in today's Tennessean newspaper to learn more about this legendary singer.

For something different, I used the inspiration of my iPod set on "shuffle" this week to pick out a few songs to share during Sunday's radio show.  Those selections came to us from several performers, including the New Kentucky Colonels, the Feinberg Brothers, Bob Amos, the Stanley Brothers, David Peterson, the Bluegrass Patriots, and the Seldom Scene.  I may return to that method of playlist "generation" over the next few weeks.  We shall see...

A bit of newer music hit the airwaves today, too.  We shared a song from Dwight Yoakam's new "Bluegrass" recording from Rounder Records -- "Swimmin' Pools, Movie Stars..." -- as well as songs from several other 2016 records by Aaron Foster, the Spinney Brothers, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, ClayBank, Edgar Loudermilk, the Boxcars, the Gospel Plowboys, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and the Earls Of Leicester.

Hope you all had a most excellent weekend, and we'll be looking for you again next Sunday!  

Enjoy the week!

Amy
