"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 7/24/2011 - Johnson Mountain Boys Reunion

Hi Folks,

When Dudley Connell announced two Johnson Mountain Boys reunions for 2011 after a 15 year hiatus, I immediately began making plans to be at the events. The first one was this past Thursday 7/21 at Musicians Against Childhood Cancer, or "MACC," near Columbus, OH. I attended, and was certainly inspired by the music performed by Dudley, David McLaughlin, Richard Underwood, Marshall, Wilborn, and new member Michael Cleveland. For this show I played many of the songs performed by the Johnson Mountain Boys during their reunion concert. Most of the JMB catalog was originally released on Rounder Records.

Most of the other songs on this show were from artists who performed at MACC or will be performing at Podunk. This included new music from Paul Williams and the Victory Trio, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Donna Ulisse, Jerry Salley, Michael Martin Murphey, and songs from an upcoming Mark Twain project by Ricky Skaggs and Rhonda Vincent.

Tune in next week when I will be back, and perhaps have Marti with me.

Jim Beaver
