"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/26/2009 (plus a fill-in, 7/24/2009)

Hello there -

On Sunday's show, we featured a quick chat with two of the biggest names going in Bluegrass today -- Dailey & Vincent. In their relatively short career working together (first show date in late December 2007), they've already won several awards from both IBMA & SPBGMA, have released two fabulous albums on Rounder Records, and have played on the Grand Ole Opry. If all of that isn't enough, they'll be playing two sets this Saturday, August 1st at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in nearby East Hartford, CT. Make plans to come out and see D&V, as well as the other fabulous performers at this 14th edition of Podunk, including the Del McCoury Band, Rhonda Vincent, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, the Special Consensus, the Steep Canyon Rangers, and lots more.

We gave away our last of 4 one-day passes to Podunk, as well as several CDs. Thanks to everyone who called -- we'll have more CD giveaways over the remaining weeks of summer.

New music was also featured a bit on Sunday, this time from Lou Reid & Carolina and their fine new Rural Rhythm recording, "My Own Set Of Rules." Lou Reid has long been one of my favorite voices in Bluegrass, and this new CD from him and the band doesn't disappoint in any way. Rest assured that you'll be hearing plenty more from this disc in future weeks.

If you're heading to Podunk this coming weekend -- July 30-August 2 -- please be sure to look for Jim & me. We have lots of WHUS goodies for you (pens, stickers, plastic cups), so don't be a stranger!

I'll be back with you next Sunday on the air, too -- please tune in, if you can.

Amy

P.S. I'm including a second playlist this week, as well, as I did a three-hour classic country & BG fill-in at WHUS on Friday, 7/25. Not everything I played was BG, but I sure had a lot of fun....

Programming notes...


This Friday, July 24th, Amy will be doing a fill-in at WHUS during the "Viable Rhythms" timeslot. We'll sort of morph the show -- for the week, anyway -- into a "Viable CLASSIC COUNTRY & BLUEGRASS Rhythms," and will include a chat with a special guest around 2PM. Russell Moore of Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out will join us via the telephone to talk about, among other things, the band's new Rural Rhythm CD, as well as the group's upcoming appearance at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. If you're in the area and can listen to the radio at work, please feel free to check us out from 1-4PM.





During the normal "Bluegrass Cafe" program time this Sunday, July 26th, we'll also be chatting on the ol' telephone with Dailey & Vincent. In their relatively short time working together, this dynamic duo has won all sorts of awards, have released two top-notch albums, and are also on the bill to play at Podunk on Saturday, August 1st. We expect them to call in around 5:15PM on Sunday -- hope you can join us at 91.7 on your FM dial or online at http://www.whus.org/.


For more information on Podunk -- where it is, how to get there, prices, etc. -- visit their website at www.podunkbluegrass.net or call (860)528-1458.

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 7/19/2009

We had another gorgeous New England day to have the radio tuned to 91.7 (or the internet browser on www.whus.org) for the best in bluegrass!

Our listeners had an opportunity to win two single day passes to the upcoming Podunk Bluegrass Festival in East Hartford (30 July - 2 Aug) -- congratulations Bernie and Meg -- and we had guest DJ James Ward in the studio programming the middle hour of the show -- an option James selected during the last WHUS Radiothon. James' selections are shown below in bold dark green.

Most of our playlist was new music this week, and the selections prove that bluegrass is alive and well.

Amy will be with you next week, so be sure to tune in for more great music, and another opportunity to win a day ticket to Podunk.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/12/2009

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful summer day in eastern CT. I mention this as we've had a spate of really lousy (rainy, cloudy, cool) weather recently, but Sunday was perfect for sitting outside and listening to your radio -- assuming you couldn't be at an actual BG festival, picnic, or some other fun outdoor activity. Hopefully, some of you were able to listen to Sunday's show while you were outside enjoying the beautiful day...

We did a couple of fun things on Sunday's show. First off, we gave away the last of our four one-day passes to the upcoming Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, which happens July 16-19 in Oak Hill, NY. Thanks again to Mary Burdette of Grey Fox for providing these fabulous passes for our listeners. We also gave away the first of our four one-day passes to the be-here-before-we-know-it Podunk Bluegrass Festival in nearby East Hartford. This fourteenth edition of Podunk features some fabulous talent, including Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, the Steep Canyon Rangers, Special Consensus, Rhonda Vincent, the Del McCoury Band, and Dailey & Vincent, among many others. Don't miss it! Jim will have a couple more one-day passes to give away next Sunday, so be sure to tune in. Thanks, too, to Podunk's Roger Moss for these wonderful passes.

New music came this week, too, from two New England bands: Acoustic Blue is mostly from western Massachusetts (their third outing is called "This Is Now") and Anna Mae Mitchell & Rising Tide are from Maine ("Driving Through A Ghost Town" was released in late May). We also included a bit of Austin, Texas-style Bluegrass from the Two High String Band (their own release is called "Hot Texas Bluegrass Burrito.") And we included a track from a demo made by Maine songwriter, Stan Keach. Last week, Jim played Stan's own version of a tune he co-wrote with Billy Thibodeau that has been recorded by (and is doing very well on the BG charts) for Audie Blaylock & Redline -- "Whispering Waters." Who knows what other tunes written by Stan will find their way on future BG recordings?

If all of that new music and giveaways weren't enough for one program, we started our third hour with a telephone guest, Jeanette Williams. Jeanette's own CD called "Thank You For Caring" and her work on the latest project by the Daughters of Bluegrass ("Bluegrass Bouquet") have received some nominations for the 2009 IBMA Awards, and Jeanette was named Female Vocalist of the Year (Traditional) at this year's SPBGMA Awards. Along with her band, Jeanette will make her very first appearance in Connecticut on July 24th when she plays at the Salem Barn for the CT Bluegrass Music Association. For more information on that reservations-only show, click here, and scroll down to July 24th.

Thanks again to everyone who was able to join us for Sunday's show. Be sure to join Jim next Sunday, 7/19, when Guest DJ James Ward makes an appearance. It should be a great time....

Amy

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 7/5/2009

For this Independence Day weekend Marti and I sprinkled some independence-themed songs throughout the show. Our "Heritage Corner" segment went back to the 1930's for music from Fisher Hendley, Zeke & Wiley Morris, and Alex Hood's Railroad Boys, and the 1950s for music from Johnnie & Jack and Rose Maddox.

We presented a couple of special features that included a song from David Peterson's visit to the show in 2006 backed with a song from David's new country CD, and two versions of Stan Keach's song "Whispering Waters" -- one Stan's demo recording and the other the popular version from Audie Blaylock and Redline.

We played a good sample of the great new music released recently, including debut spins from Brandon Rickman, Bryan Sutton, and Bill Anderson.

We are really in a golden age of new bluegrass releases, and have many more that we don't have time to play on a single show, so be sure to tune in next week when Amy will cover more new ground.
