"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/26/2020

This Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was our second of the pre-recorded variety, and included birthday tributes to a couple members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, most notably the late Ira Louvin (born April 21, 1924).  We also shared new music, and some of your favorite classics, so hope you were able to join us.

There are many members of the Country Music Hall of Fame who were born in the month of April.  This week, we shared a few Bluegrass-style renditions of tunes by Glen Campbell (born April 22, 1937) and Willie Nelson (born April 29, 1933).  We put the birthday focus on Ira Louvin -- the tenor singing, mandolin playing Louvin brother -- as Ira would have celebrated his 96th birthday on April 21st.  Is there a pair of singers (especially siblings) who wouldn't like to be able to sing in the super-close harmony style of the Louvin Brothers?  Both Louvins were incredibly gifted songwriters, as well, and many of their songs have been recorded in a Bluegrass style over the years.  During Sunday's show, we shared twenty-three Louvin-penned songs, even though we could have filled the whole three hours with Louvin music.  Of course, there's plenty left for another several shows.  

Coming later in 2020...new music from High Fidelity!
New music was featured on Sunday, as well.  To that end, we debuted (on WHUS, anyway) new songs from recently or soon-to-be released records by High Fidelity, the Crowe Brothers, Professor Dan Boner, J.B. & Jamie Dailey, Stephen Mougin, and Appalachian Road Show.  There was also 2020 music from Shannon Slaughter, Terry Baucom's Dukes Of Drive, and the Feinberg Brothers.

Hope you are all doing well during our COVID-19 isolation days.  Remember -- as we are pre-recording the shows these days, we can't answer your requests during the showtime.  However, if you would like to say hello or send a request, please feel free to send email to bgcafe@gmail.com or check out our Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/WHUS.Bluegrass Cafe.  

Stay healthy!
