"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/18/2016 -- THE (MOSTLY) CHRISTMAS EDITION

With just one week to go before Christmas Day, it seemed quite appropriate to
play mostly Christmas music on Sunday's
Bluegrass Cafe.  Not only did we include some newer and older Christmas tunes from a bunch of your favorite (we hope!) performers, but we also snuck in a few Christmas songs from some classic Country Music performers.  Hope you enjoyed the mix!  

While the majority of the music heard on Sunday's show was Christmas-themed, there was also an eight-song interlude of songs found on some of our favorite Bluegrass releases of 2016.  Among these were favorite 2016 selections from several performers, including Lou Reid & Carolina, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, Corrina Rose Logston, the Earls Of Leicester, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, Travers Chandler, Balsam Range, and Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show.  This was my last broadcast of 2016, but during the January 1st edition of Bluegrass Cafe, we'll share more favorites from 2016, I'm sure.

Join Jim for the Christmas Day broadcast next Sunday, as it is certain to be a dandy!  

Warm wishes to you all for a very Merry Christmas, and I will look for you again on January 1, 2017!
