| A most excellent autobiography from 80-year-old Whisperin' Bill |
During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we shared some newer music, some classic tunes, and this week, paid special Bluegrass tribute to an important member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Whisperin' Bill Anderson. Mr. Anderson came to fame as the songwriter of Ray Price's big 1958 hit, "City Lights." After that, he was signed to a recording contract of his own, but throughout the decades, Bill Anderson has remained a well-recorded songwriter. Our Bluegrass tribute in honor of Whisperin' Bill's 80th birthday (born November 1, 1937) consisted of fourteen Bluegrass covers, plus one song sung by ol' Bill, himself.
There was a bit of newer music shared on the program, too. To that end, we heard songs from the likes of the Grascals, Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, the Darrell Webb Band, Shannon Slaughter, Big Country Bluegrass, the O'Connor Band with Mark O'Connor, Mike Barnett, and Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of the week, and we will look for you again on Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.
