"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/27/2013

On this last Sunday of January, we started the show a bit later than usual after the conclusion of a UCONN Men's Basketball win over Rutgers University.  The temperature here in eastern Connecticut has barely reached 32 degrees this past week so it seemed quite logical to play songs of a similarly "cold," "icy," or "frozen" nature to start the show.  

New music is generally a pretty big part of our show, and this week was no exception.  In addition to playing a couple of tunes from a brand-spanking new CD by Connecticut Bluegrass band, Grass Routes ("Bailey's Deal"), we also included music from Bob Amos, American Drive, the Blue Canyon Boys, Dave Adkins & Republik Steele, the Stonemans, the Gentlemen of Blue Grass, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Richard Bennett, Nu-Blu, and Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass.  

Billy Joe Foster was the bass player with
Country Gazette in this 1986 photo.

In addition, we included a couple of songs associated with Billy Joe Foster -- the multi-instrumentalist from Oklahoma who died January 23rd at the age of 51.  Billy Joe Foster was a fine songwriter, and a member of such bands as Special Edition (with Joe Diffie), the Country Gazette, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and, for a time, Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys. 

A housekeeping note or two:  WHUS has recently changed its online stream, and so, our Engineer advises that folks who have bookmarked the old WHUS webstream might have had difficulty listening online for the last couple of weeks.  The advice is to listen to the stream via the WHUS homepage (www.whus.org).  Also, it should be noted that our Bluegrass Cafe Facebook page is always in need of new folks to click on "like."  We post playlists there, as well as other information on shows, events, fill-ins, and other Bluegrass tidbits which might appeal to folks who "like" the page.  If you're on Facebook, but haven't yet "liked" us, you're more than welcome to do so:  to get there, visit www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe.  Thanks!

Be sure to join Jim next Sunday for another three hours of the best in Bluegrass.  He'll be looking for you...

Have a good week!

Yet another Tuesday fill-in - 1/22/2013

To me, one of the most enjoyable things about doing a fill-in program at WHUS is that I get to play music on the air that I wouldn't normally play during the Bluegrass Cafe.  Sometimes that music is from classic country music performers, but in today's case, the emphasis was on a banjo picking legend who celebrated his 75th birthday today, as well as one of the most distinctive voices ever heard in the world of BG who would have turned 78 on January 19th.  Their names:  Virginia Country Music Hall of Famer, Bill Emerson and Bluegrass Hall of Honor member, Charlie Waller.  

Those Classic Country Gents

It's no secret that I heard A LOT of Country Gentlemen music in my "formative" BG years (i.e. the mid-1970s), so it stands to reason that I became a big fan of their music, and by extension, of their lead singer and guitar player.  Charlie Waller never possessed the "high lonesome" voice that people want to associate with the great BG performers, and he was never known as a major songwriter.  Still, his contribution to Bluegrass music is truly legendary, and whenever I get a chance to play a lot of his music, I kind of jump at it.  Did I get to play all of the Country Gentlemen songs I really would have liked to play on Tuesday's show?  Not really, but I think we hit a pretty good sampling of CG music from several different groupings of Country Gents:  the Hall of Fame Classic ones (Waller, John Duffey, Eddie Adcock, Tom Gray), as well as later groupings of Waller with Jimmy Gaudreau, Bill Yates, Doyle Lawson, Bill Emerson, Ricky Skaggs, Kent Dowell, Rick Allred, Darin Aldridge, and others.  I certainly enjoyed the songs I played -- hopefully, others did, too.  

Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie

Birthday boy Bill Emerson figured prominently into Tuesday's program, too.  In addition to being one of the founding members of the Country Gentlemen (part of the group when they played their first gig on July 4, 1957), Bill Emerson has worked with some of the legends of BG.  He spent time working as a sideman with Buzz Busby, Jimmy Martin, and Red Allen, as well as wonderful pairings with Cliff Waldron, the songwriter, Pete Goble, and his Country Current bandmate, Wayne Taylor.  After returning to the Country Gentlemen for a 3-year stint beginning in 1970, Emerson joined the U.S. Navy and became a member of their country band known as Country Current.  Since his retirement from the Navy, Bill Emerson has not really slowed down, either.  His most recent project from his own band (Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie) was named a favorite of 2012 on at least one "Best of" list for the year.  Fantastic.  

Hope you enjoyed today's show, and that you'll consider joining me once again on Sunday afternoon at 4PM for the Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 1/20/2013

Hi Folks.

Who else but Dolly

This show occurred a day after a slew of birthdays and anniversaries which we recognized in one set of music.  January 19 was the anniversary of the birth of Dolly Parton, Charlie Waller, Jimmy Haley, and the death of John Hardy.

John Hardy hanging - Jan 19, 1894

We played songs by all of these folks except John Hardy, and we let the Lilly Brothers & Don Stover sing about him.

Doyle Lawson and the first Quicksilver
L-R: Terry Baucom, Doyle, Jimmy Haley, Lou Reid

Other great music included a previously unreleased song from the late Jake Jenkins -- banjo picker with Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show -- released on a tribute album of Jake Jenkins songs by Karl Shiflett.  Jake, who died in a plane crash in March 2011, was with Karl from 1993 to 2003.  We also heard from a KSBC album that had not previously been released on CD.

Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show - Jake Jenkins on banjo

Monroe Crossing

New music included a song from a brand new CD from Minnesota bluegrass ambassadors Monroe Crossing.  This appears to be one of the best albums ever from the group.

The Heritage Corner showcased a 1956 song from The McCormick Brothers, The A.L. Phipps Family, and a rare album from the "basement" studio of Ray Davis from 1987 that reunited Ralph Stanley with George Shuffler along with James King.

Newer music was provided by Kathy Kallick Band, Ricky Skaggs, Clay Hess, Ray Edwards, Joe Mullins, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Dewey Farmer & Derwin Hinson, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, The Grass Cats, Lonesome River Band, Eddie & Martha Adcock with Tom Gray, Nightflyer, Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, David Peterson, and Nu-Blu.

Be sure to tune in next Sunday when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring on another great edition of "Bluegrass Cafe."

Another January Tuesday fill-in, 1/15/2013

These Tuesday fill-ins are getting to be a habit -- not sure if that's a good or bad thing, exactly.  On my first Tuesday this month, I went with a Hank Williams theme, and last week, I leaned more towards the Bluegrass.  This week was a mixture, but most of the music played was related in some way to the calendar.

One of the terrific photos in the book from
photographer Jim Marshall shows when
Cash sang, "Greystone Chapel" -- a
song written by inmate Glen Sherley.

One of our highlights on Tuesday was to play several songs recorded by Johnny Cash in his concert at California's Folsom Prison 45 years ago, on January 13, 1968. While Cash had played at Folsom several times before he convinced his record label (Columbia Records) to capture the sounds of Folsom -- those sounds made by Cash, as well as members of his touring road show (June Carter, Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers), as well as the sounds of the prison itself and the men imprisoned there.  The record was a hit, and a milestone in Cash's lengthy career.  In 2004, Da Capo Press published a fine little book with loads of wonderful pictures from the Folsom concert.  The book is titled Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison:  The Making Of A Masterpiece by Cash biographer, Michael Streissguth, and is worth a read if you've got any interest at all in the career of the Man in Black.

Two Country Music Hall of Famers celebrate birthdays around this week in the month of January:  The Cherokee Cowboy, Ray Price, celebrated his 87th birthday on January 12th, and the one-and-only Dolly Parton will mark her 67th birthday on January 19th.  For Ray Price, we put together a set of music that included him singing a few of his 1950s-era honky tonk tunes, as well as a couple of covers.  Dolly has done a lot of things -- so far -- in her life, including record several Bluegrass-flavored albums in recent years.  Like a lot of classic country singers, many of Dolly's songs that she's written and/or recorded have been covered in the Bluegrass world, so we picked out a few of those this afternoon from performers like the Seldom Scene, Dale Ann Bradley with Marty Raybon, the Gibson Brothers, and the Spinney Brothers.  In addition, it wouldn't have been right not to hear from Dolly, too -- songs she's recorded on her own, as well as a couple of her great duets with Porter Wagoner.

Finally, I got to play a couple of songs from the Rounder recording by the Time Jumpers.  This is a band that sort of defies description, but I couldn't really allow myself to play it during the Bluegrass show, so why not today?  All in all, I thought it was another fun show -- hope it was enjoyed on the other end of the radio, too.

Be sure to join Jim on Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe -- 4-7PM.  He'll be looking for you...

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/13/2013

For once, I had a definite plan set out for Sunday's show, and I think I actually accomplished it.  Whoa!  I'd love to tell you I ALWAYS am well-prepared for going on the radio, but that would be a bit of a fib, I'm afraid.  

Always fun to chat with both Gibsons, even if I only
got to have a photo taken with one of 'em (Eric) -- this time.  

The show started with some music by performers I got to see at the sold-out show presented by the Boston Bluegrass Union in Lexington, MA, including the fine duo of Monroe-style mandolin picker, Mike Compton and North Carolina songwriter, Joe Newberry.  While these two don't currently have any recording projects as a duo, we played music from groups they've played with in their respective pasts:  Compton with the Nashville Bluegrass Band, and Newberry with a band called Sidetrack.  Closing the BBU show were the reigning IBMA Entertainers of the Year, the Gibson Brothers.  Will I ever tire of using that particular phrase when describing the Gibsons?  Perhaps, but it certainly hasn't happened yet! The BBU show was clearly a hit...and a great way to start a new year.  

Since January 1st, I've been doing a Tuesday afternoon fill-in show at WHUS in which I play a combination of classic country and Bluegrass.  It's fun to stretch out a little, for sure.  This past Tuesday was January 8th -- a day that would have been BG songwriter Randall Hylton's 67th birthday.  Hylton was a fabulous songwriter with well over 200 songs registered with BMI (one of the major music licensing companies), and on Tuesday, we played fourteen of those songs from all sorts of BG performers, including Hylton himself.  There were still a few songs I missed playing on Tuesday, though, so I made time to squeeze in a half-dozen more of them today.  

Speaking of birthday tributes, we had to include a birthday set for Country Music Hall of Famer, Ray Price, who celebrated his 87th birthday on January 12th.  As we know, Ray Price is not a Bluegrass singer, but his songs sure have been covered by BG performers over the years, no doubt about it.  I'm pretty sure, too, that Ray Price's version of the Don Helms-penned "Sweet Little Miss Blue Eyes" (kind of a BG standard, it seems) was recorded long before anyone in Bluegrass music ever recorded it.  Check out Ray Price with Cherokee Cowboy/wonderful harmony singer Van Howard, circa 1955:

If all of those birthday tributes weren't enough, there was a bit of new music -- some if it brand-new -- to play on the show.  Songs from forthcoming projects by Marty Raybon, Volume Five, and Shannon & Heather Slaughter & County Clare were played, as well as newer music from Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Scott Brannon, Monroe Crossing, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Balsam Range, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.  Hope you enjoyed what you heard...

I'll be back with you again for another fill-in this Tuesday afternoon from 1-3PM, so join me, if you like.  If not, be sure to tune into Jim next Sunday for another packed-with-music edition of the Bluegrass Cafe.

Have a good week!

If it's Tuesday, it must be a fill-in -- 1/8/2013

Randall Hylton
(1/8/1945-3/19/2001)

Confession time:  sometimes, I really have no idea of what music I'm going to play on the radio, especially when doing a fill-in show.  Such was the case today, but a quick bit of research about an hour before the fill-in show began let me know that there were LOTS of playing options for music on the 8th of January.  

• One Elvis Aron Presley -- The King -- was born on January 8, 1935.  To that end, the Gibson Brothers were kind enough to write and record a sort of "What if?" song about Elvis and one of his first girlfriends, Dixie Locke, on their "Help My Brother" CD.  (Playing Elvis's version of "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" would have been nice, too, but that recording was not in our WHUS library.  Alas.)  
  
   
• It's the 8th day of January.  Is there really a better day to play the old instrumental, "The Eighth Of January?"  I don't think so.  Playing that song is also a good excuse for a little history lesson:  On January 8, 1815, Major General Andrew Jackson sealed his place in history by leading his rag-tag army of the fledgling United States against 8,000 much better organized and equipped British troops at the Battle of New Orleans.  Jackson may have made a name for himself in New Orleans, but the battle was unnecessary, as the Treaty of Ghent to end the War of 1812 had been signed on December 24, 1814.  (Click here for more information on the Battle of New Orleans from the Library of Congress website).
  
  
• The wonderfully talented Bluegrass songwriter, Randall Hylton, would have celebrated a birthday today, as well (born on January 8, 1945).  During his much-too-short life, Hylton wrote and published more than 200 songs that have been recorded by a good number of BG performers.  While fourteen songs written or co-written by Randall Hylton were played during the show today, my list of "must play" songs exceeded the time I set aside to play them.  In all likelihood, a few more of those Hylton tunes may hit the WHUS airwaves on Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.
  
  
• So many "Best of 2012" lists ranking just about anything you can imagine have appeared over the last month or so.  While I didn't assign numbers to rank my favorite Bluegrass recordings we received at WHUS during 2012, I have put together a list of 2012 favorites that is currently posted on the WHUS website.  If you're curious to know what CDs and performers are on my list, click here.
  
  

Hope you enjoyed something you heard on the radio today, and that you'll consider joining me once more on Sunday afternoon at 4PM for another edition of Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 1/6/2013

Hi Folks.

We had a delightful beginning of the new year with an exciting program of new and classic bluegrass music.

It being Earl Scruggs' birthday, we had Earl's presence throughout the show, concentrating on his music with Lester Flatt from 1948 through the 1950s.

Besides the classic Earl tunes, the Heritage Corner offered up songs from Red Allen, Bill Monroe, Reno & Smiley, Glen Campbell, Bill Emerson, The Country Gentlemen, Ted Lundy, and some rare recordings  from a Japanese vinyl LP of The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover recorded live at Hillbilly Ranch in 1960.

Some of the great recent music included songs from Bob Amos, Travers Chandler, Lou Reid & Carolina, Marty Raybon, Special Consensus, Danny Paisley, Ricky Skaggs, The Grass Cats, The Grascals, The Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, Kathy Kallick, David Peterson, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Balsam Range, Nu-Blu, and Larry Gillis.  Brand new music included songs from Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out and Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice.

Be sure not to miss Amy next Sunday for another great Bluegrass Cafe.

Another year, another fill-in -- 1/1/2013

Doing a two-hour fill-in radio program on New Year's Day, it seemed like the proverbial "no-brainer" to shine the spotlight on a no-doubt-about-it music icon:  Hank Williams. It was 60 years ago today that the world learned that Hank Williams was dead at the age of 29, as he was found dead in the back of his limousine while on the way to play a New Year's Day concert in Canton, Ohio.  It seems kind of odd to remember anyone on the day he died, but in the case of Hank, it's hard -- for me, anyway -- to have a New Year's Day pass without thinking of him.  Would Hank Williams be such a legend -- his biographer, Colin Escott, has called him "the most powerfully iconic figure in country music" -- if he hadn't died so young?  We'll likely never have an answer to that question.  With Hank's total addiction to alcohol and painkillers, there was probably very little chance that he'd live to be too old, but his songwriting and performing genius makes him nothing short of immortal.  

Sixty years after his death, Hank Williams is still selling
records.  This compilation of two 1952 concerts was
released in September 2012, and made the Billboard charts.

In his brief six years as a recording artist, Hank Williams produced sixty-six songs under his own name.  Thirty-seven of these songs were bona fide hit records -- nearly 60%, in this case, is a pretty impressive average.  So much of Hank's material has been recorded in the BG world through the years, so it was pretty easy to fill our two fill-in hours today with nothing but Hank.  Selections came from BG records, as well as classic country singers, and, of course, Hank himself. 

Happy New Year!
