Today is the birthday of "Bluegrass Ambassador," Steve Martin (born August 14, 1945), so playing one of his tunes was a must. It's also the birthday of a fine BG songwriter from Alabama, Jake Landers (born August 14, 1938). In celebration of the birthday of Jake Landers, we played just six of his pretty well-known songs from the BG world, which have been recorded by performers such as the Country Gentlemen, Red Allen, Bobby Osborne, and Jake's former employer, Bill Monroe. Great stuff!
Brand-spanking new music came today from the new project by Dale Ann Bradley ("Somewhere South Of Crazy" on Compass Records). We also played a couple of tunes from a CD Jim played a few weeks ago from Rick Pardue & Timmy Massey called "The Ghost Of Noah Hayes." Other newer music came from Volume Five, Shannon Slaughter, Blue Highway, James Reams & the Barnstormers, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Russell Johnson, and Randy Waller & the Country Gentlemen.Be sure to join Jim next week for another edition of the BG Cafe -- he'll be with you beginning at 4PM...
Have a good week -
Amy
