On Sunday's show, we unveiled some new tunes from projects by Barry Scott & Second Wind ("In God's Time" on Rebel Records), Phil Rosenthal (his own American Melody label's "A Treasury Of Bluegrass & Country Songs"), New Hampshire's White Mountain Bluegrass ("Oh So Many Years" on their own label), and Darin Aldridge & Brooke Justice ("I'll Go With You" on Pinecastle Records, but our copy courtesy of Irene & Ted Lehmann -- thanks to them!). We also listened to tunes from forthcoming projects by two great acts signed to Rural Rhythm Records: Lou Reid & Carolina and Randy Kohrs. We look forward to hearing lots more from all of these performers in future weeks....
In addition, we celebrated a couple of birthdays, most notably those of Tom T. Hall and his wife, Miss Dixie Hall -- born on May 25th & May 26th respectively. It's no secret that both of these fine folks have been writing up a storm in recent years, as it's hard to pick up a new CD by anyone and NOT find a tune written by either Tom T. or Miss Dixie or both. While we could easily fill several programs with tunes composed by these two, we limited ourselves to playing just six of their fine tunes on Sunday. Best wishes to them both for many more years of creativity.
Although it was a bit late, we also paid tribute to the "Singing Ranger" -- Hank Snow -- who would have celebrated his 95th birthday on May 9th. Through the years, many of Hank's tunes have been covered in the BG world, so we picked out just a couple of them to showcase on Sunday.
Last Thursday & Friday, I got to hear (and see) some great BG at nearby Strawberry Park in Preston, CT from the likes of Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, the Gibson Brothers, Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters, and Kenny & Amanda Smith. Jim shared emcee duties at Strawberry Park, so he'll be able to fill you in next time with info about the rest of the festival.
Along with this week's playlist, I'm also including a playlist for a fill-in I did at WHUS on the morning on Thursday, May 21st. I didn't stick to only BG, but there was a good bit of it showcased that morning.
Hope to see you all at the upcoming Sam Tidwell Tribute Day in Sterling, CT on June 14th. I'll post more about that fine event later this week....
Thanks for listening, and be sure to join Jim & Marti next Sunday as they play even more great Bluegrass for your listening pleasure.
