"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/30/2017

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was not planned at all.  That is, I always figured on hosting the radio show today, but this week, I didn't prepare for even one second of it.  Pretty dopey, I know.  Still, every once in a while, programming on the fly can be an enjoyable method of show prep.  I didn't think the show turned out too badly -- hope you agree!

The final nominees for 2017 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards were announced this week, and we shared a few songs from several nominees, including Balsam Range, Rickey Wasson, Shawn Camp, Molly Tuttle, Michael Cleveland, the Gibson Brothers, and the Earls Of Leicester.  Congratulations to all of the nominees -- and good luck!

In addition to the IBMA Awards for 2017, there will be three inducted acts (total of four people) into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame.  This time around, we included several songs from 2017 inductee Roland White, as well as one song each from Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard and Bobby Hicks.

For new music, we played a couple of songs from the very brand-new recording from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers:  "The Story We Tell," as well as a song from the forthcoming Rural Rhythm recording from Feller & Hill.

And we didn't forget our Letter of the Week, either.  This time around, the letter was "C."  We missed a whole bunch of "C" performers this time around, but perhaps we will have another session of "C"s on another day.  The "C" performers included acts as varied as California, J.D. Crowe, the Carter Family, Russ Carson, the Case Brothers, Michelle Canning, Cherryholmes, and, of course, the Country Gentlemen.  

Hope you have a fabulous week!  We'll see you once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM!
