So, in our "bonus" hour yesterday, I thought it might be fun to play a few classic country tunes, and then, find a BG equivalent. It's not surprising to pick up a new recording from a BG performer and find that he or she has chosen to record an old country song from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or even the 1980s or later. Sometimes, that's a good thing. Really, we could fill up at least 3 or 4 hours with country songs and BG remakes (or vice versa, in some cases), but we limited ourselves to just one hour yesterday. I enjoyed it quite a bit, I must confess...
The remainder of the "normal" three hours was spent playing lots and lots of great Bluegrass, new and not-so-new. Among yesterday's brand-new was the fine Rural Rhythm debut for the newly-renamed Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. Russell's voice is as strong as ever, and it's pretty easy to hear why he's received two IBMA Awards for "Male Vocalist of the Year." Check out this band at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival on August 1st, and be sure to keep listening to BG Cafe, as I'm certain you'll hear lots more from this fine CD in future weeks.
Also included in Sunday's show were tunes from a couple of newer CDs released by Patuxent Music. Both of these CDs feature young talent -- the future of BG, perhaps? The Doerfels are a talented family band who've played at Maine's Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival, as well as lots of other places, and Angelica Grim is a 19-year-old Californian with a big voice and a fine new CD.
Jim & Marti join you next Sunday starting off at 3PM. Have yourselves a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, and be sure to take a moment to remember a veteran.
