Anyhow, in our 2-hour show, we took a quick preview of some of the big nominees for this week's IBMA Awards (to be given out in ceremonies on October 1st), and played just a teeny bit of great new music from the likes of the Steep Canyon Rangers (their fourth CD from Rebel Records is called "Deep In The Shade") and Bill Yates & Friends ("Country Gentlemen Tribute, Volume II" on MasterShield). There were a couple of fine new independent releases, too, from singer-songwriter Billy Boone Smith ("Live From The Moose Lodge"), a North Carolina group known as the Hagar's Mountain Boys ("Forever Yours"), and an all-instrumental recording from Long Island bandleader, Buddy Merriam ("Back Roads Bluegrass"). Time wouldn't allow us to play more than one tune from each of these fine recordings, but we'll get to more in future weeks, I'm certain...
We still managed to squeeze in a couple of requests, too -- thanks to everyone for calling. We're always curious to know what listeners really WANT to hear. Don't be shy -- give us a call during the show at (860)486-9487 or drop an email request anytime to bgcafe@gmail.com.
I'll join you once again on October 3rd -- this time for 3 big hours of BG, I'm pretty sure.
Have a good week -
Amy
