This week's show included new music from the likes of Cherryholmes ("Don't Believe" on Skaggs Family), Ralph Stanley II (Lonesome Day's "This One Is II"), and luthier Audey Ratliff (his self-released "Piece Of Cake"), as well as a brief look at a couple of nominees for IBMA Awards which will be given out in ceremonies in Nashville on October 2nd. For a full list of nominees for this year's awards, click here.
One of the nominees in the category of "Recorded Event of the Year" is someone to whom many New Englanders credit their first exposure to Bluegrass -- 84-year-old Everett Lilly. Beginning in 1952, Everett, his brother "B" Lilly, and banjo picker Don Stover began playing Bluegrass in Boston, most notably at the Hillbilly Ranch. Their sound is credited with inspiring many a BG picker from this part of the country, including Joe Val, Peter Rowan, Bill Keith, and countless others. Everett's latest recording -- "Everett Lilly & Everybody And Their Brother" -- includes Everett playing and singing with lots and lots of his friends and family, including Marty Stuart, Rhonda Vincent, Ronnie & Rob McCoury, Eddie Stubbs, and others. You'll be sure to hear more from this CD in future weeks on BG Cafe.
I'm off for Maine this Labor Day weekend for the final Thomas Point Beach BG Festival. Hope you get to enjoy some great BG music wherever you are. Be sure to join Jim on for Sunday's show at 4PM...
