| Roy Claxton Acuff (September 15, 1903 - November 23, 1992) |
This coming Thursday evening, two individual acts (Mike Auldridge and Bill Emerson) as well as one band (the Kentucky Colonels) will be inducted into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. We shared music from each of these performers who have been such a vital part of the Bluegrass community over the years.
Last Sunday (September 15th) was the birth anniversary of Roy Claxton Acuff, the King of Country Music. The music of Roy Acuff has been covered numerous times in the world of Bluegrass music, too, so this week, we shared a dozen Roy Acuff songs in belated celebration of what would have been Roy's 116th birthday.

And if all of that wasn't enough, we included brand-new music from fiddler Jason Barie, as well as the Mosley Brothers, and Donna Ulisse. Other 2019 releases we heard were by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, No Time Flatt, Johnny & Jeanette Williams, Blue Highway, Audie Blaylock & Redline, and Hammertowne.
I'll be heading down to North Carolina this week to check out some of the annual World of Bluegrass events down there, so hope you will join James & Cathy Ward sitting in for our Bluegrass Cafe next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.
Have a great week!
