With the new year, we've started to receive a few new CDs to share with you all. Sunday's show put the focus on some new music from the likes of the Lost & Found, Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa, the bluegrass project by country/cowboy singer Michael Martin Murphey, a CD of music based on the Civil War by the North Carolina duo of Barney Rogers & Russell Johnson, and an old-timey sounding band from Virginia called the Whitetop Mountain Band. In addition, there were a couple of tunes each from very fine "Signs" by the Special Consensus and a vintage country-sounding disc from David Peterson called "Comin' On Strong." Look forward to hearing more music from all of these performers on WHUS, as well as plenty more, I'm sure.
We also took a quick look at the nominees in the "Best Bluegrass Album" category for this year's Grammy Awards (to be handed out on February 8th). Four of the five recordings (by Cherryholmes, Ricky Skaggs, Dan Tyminski, & Earl Scruggs) are CDs owned by us at WHUS, but the fifth one by the Del McCoury Band is a set of music recorded live at the 2008 New Orleans Jazz Festival and is only available online. Congratulations to all of the nominees.
Finally, a good many of you called in with requests this week -- thanks!
While Jim & Marti join you in the Cafe next Sunday, I'd like to invite you to join me for a Tuesday AM fill-in at WHUS. From 10AM until noon, I plan to play a good portion of Bluegrass & Classic Country music. Please join me if you can!
Have a fine week, and stay warm -
Amy
