The snowstorm kept Amy away for this last show of the year, so I happily stepped in to keep the bluegrass going on this Sunday afternoon, and had the bonus of a couple of extra hours ahead of our regular time because of a combination of weather and school break. Five full hours of bluegrass is a fine way to close out the year!
Some of the extra hours allowed the Heritage Corner to do a sort of early career retrospective of The Dillards. The mother-lode of the early Dillard recordings heard on this show was a batch of songs from rare 45 RPM singles on the small K-ARK label that were 1961 releases of home recordings of Rodney and Doug Dillard from 1958-59. Some of these recordings were issued under the name "Dillard Brothers" and others by "Joe Noel and the Dixie Ramblers," but person
nel were similar on all the tracks with Doug Dillard on banjo, Rodney Dillard on guitar, Joe Noel on mandolin, and Buddy Van on bass and lead vocals. Some tracks even included John Hartford on fiddle or Dobro.Other Heritage Corner classics included songs from Mac Martin, Ralph Stanley and his 1968 Clinch Mountain Boys at Newport, Bill Monroe doing a live version of his instrumental "Get Up John," The Johnson Mountain Boys live at Strawberry Park in 1981, a song from Fred Pike, Sam Tidwell & The Kennebec Valley Boys, The Foothill Boys (with Cullen Galyean), Classic Country Gentlemen, Wade Mainer, Jimmy Martin, Hack Johnson and his Tennesseans (with Allen Shelton on banjo), Doc and Merle Watson, early Stanley Brothers, Reno & Smiley, Ted Lundy, and Carl Story.
Some of the newe
st tracks came from the latest Grascals album on Cracker Barrel that pairs them with many of their country friends. Others included Charlie Sizemore, Edgar Loudermilk with Rhonda Vincent, Travers Chandler, Joe Diffie, Jimmy Gaudreau, The Steeldrivers, Cedar Hill, the new Graves Mountain All-Star Jam, and an excellent old-time duet album from Taylor's Grove -- a pairing of Maine legend Mac McHale and North Carolinian Carolyn Hutton.Amy will be back for the next couple of weeks, so be sure to tune in to hear the banjos and fiddles ring.
