"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/9/2014

This was our first post-Radiothon edition of Bluegrass Cafe, and our intention was to play LOTS of music.  However, the UConn Men's Baseball game went into extra innings after the other team tied up the game with 2 outs in the 9th, so that didn't allow the show to start until about 4:40PM.  Still, we tried to squeeze in as much music as possible -- and a whole bunch of it was brand-spanking new to our WHUS airwaves...

What a terrific reissue for Rural Rhythm!

Daylight Savings Time began on Sunday, so that gave us the perfect opportunity to play Grandpa Jones's lament about Daylight Saving Time, as well as a few other "time" related songs from the likes of the Kathy Kallick Band, Lou Reid & Carolina, the Del McCoury Band, and a couple of others.  

The Boston-based Reunion Band
has a new CD on the way...

For the last two weeks of programs, we've mostly played recordings that were available as premiums for Radiothon.  While that was fine, on today's show, we had some opportunity to play a few recordings that have been received over the last couple of weeks.  There is a whole lot of wonderful NEW Bluegrass music to be heard, and we were pleased to be able to play some of it today, including newer projects from the Special Consensus, Matt Wallace, Dave Adkins, Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie, and three New England-based bands, Evergreen, the Reunion Band, and Connecticut's own ShoreGrass.  There is also a fabulous new reissue of a Jim & Jesse & the Virginia Boys 2-record set from the 1960s:  "Radio Shows" on Rural Rhythm.  This is a fantastic recording from what is, perhaps, one of the most underrated brother duos in country and Bluegrass music history.  Great stuff!  

John Denver doesn't seem "Bluegrass-friendly,"
but his songs work well with Special C & Friends

Once again, we like to say THANKS to everyone who generously supported WHUS -- and, of course, Bluegrass Cafe -- during Radiothon!  Our listeners are always the best , so thanks so very much!

Jim will join you for next Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, but if you're in the mood for a classic country and Bluegrass fill-in kind of program, join me on Friday morning (March 14th) from 7-10AM.  

Have a good week!

Amy
