"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 3/17/2013

Hi Folks!

Not only were there no sports preemptions on the day of this show, but the game before the show ended early and we were able to pick up about 15 minutes of extra time.  There was lots of new music and lots of classic bluegrass from my Heritage Corner.  I'll tell much of the story with photo captions.  The actual playlist is at the end:

Rare Buzz Busby 45 played on this show

Rare European Charlie Moore LP played on this show.
Charlie recorded two albums in Europe in 1976 with 

European musicians, and this is one of them.
Walter Hensley LP played on this show

Peter Tork, local Connecticut musician and Monkee, plays banjo!
We heard three of his banjo tunes on this show.
The Daughters of Bluegrass -- a collection of some of the best female bluegrass musicians in existence, have a fourth effort out now that includes three CDs of new material in a box that includes the third CD in the series for a total of four CDs.  It's a great bargain with some excellent music.  This set made its debut on the show.
This new CD from Dave Adkins and Republik Steele 
has been making lots of younger bluegrass fans.
Toshio Watanabe














I was surprised to meet Toshio Watanabe, a founding member of the groundbreaking Japanese bluegrass band Bluegrass 45, at a 2012 IBMA storytelling session for Everett Lilly.  Toshio has a new CD by "Fiction Twins" which is aptly named since Toshio performs and sings all the parts on this disc of old-time country duet songs.  We heard a track on this show.

Doyle Lawson always makes great records, 
and his latest is no exception.
We had some great laughs from this new CD from the VW Boys.

 This young lady from North Carolina has recorded a beautiful CD.  Emily Kirsch -- you'll probably hear more from her.

 A new CD from the gospel bluegrass group Mountain Faith.

This new CD from the Steeldrivers made its Bluegrass Cafe debut on this show.

From Ashville, North Carolina, Town Mountain has a great new CD.








We rounded out the Heritage Corner selections with tunes from the Camp Creek Boys, Clint Howard and Doc Watson, J.E. Mainer Jr., Ralph Stanley from his early Rebel years, Carl Story, and a rare 78 from obscure old time singer Pappy "Gube" Beaver (no relation).




Tune in next week when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring.
