By the way, if you're keeping track of some of the newer stuff (released and/or received at WHUS within the past month or two) on this week's playlist, here's a quick snapshot: Darren Beachley & Legends Of The Potomac, Audie Blaylock & Redline, Summertown Road, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Sweet Potato Pie, the Grascals, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Connecticut musician Nathan Day.
As you may have heard, the Pulitzer Prize Board awarded a posthumous citation last week to the legendary Hank Williams. During his short lifetime, Hank was pretty much recognized as a performer and writer of country music, but his many great songs have lived on to touch and influence so many more genres of music. In awarding the citation, the Pulitzer Board praised Hank Williams for "his craftsmanship as a songwriter who expressed universal feelings with poignant simplicity and played a pivotal role in transforming country music into a major musical and cultural force in American life." Several months ago, we paid tribute to Hank by playing a set of his tunes which have been covered by various BG performers. However, with this new Pulitzer recognition, it seemed appropriate to string together a few more of Hank's many great tunes -- some covers by BG performers and even a couple from Hank himself. Even 57 years after his death, the music of Hank Williams lives on...and will likely continue to do so for many, many years to come.
Jim will join you in the studio for this coming Sunday's BG Cafe. Be sure to tune in, as I'm sure you're going to hear something you'll like a whole lot...
Enjoy the rest of the week -
