"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/19/2020

Apparently, January 19th is a great day for a birthday if you want to be a top-notch singer, as we celebrated a few birthday celebrants during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, including Jimmy Haley and Phil Everly, and, of course, two folks who are super-important to the World of Bluegrass:  Charlie Waller and Dolly Parton.

the Louisiana Hayride by Joey Kent (Pelican Publishing, 2019).

Bluegrass Hall of Fame member Charlie Waller was born January 19, 1935 and died August 18, 2004.  Before becoming one of the founding members of the legendary Country Gentlemen, Charlie was a sideman with Buzz Busby & the Bayou Boys on the Louisiana Hayride (KWKH) in Shreveport.  It was with the 1957 formation of the Country Gents, though, that Charlie Waller cemented his future as a superb vocalist and guitar picker, and his 47 years with the band were the most of any member.  In truth, we could have shared the music of the Country Gentlemen and Charlie Waller for the full three-hour program, but we did pick out quite a few selections to share.

Country Music Hall of Famer Dolly Parton is a star of many things, and she has even recorded a Bluegrass-flavored album or two.  In celebrating her birthday (born January 19, 1946), we included a whole bunch of songs written by Dolly down through the years, as there have been many of her songs covered in the Bluegrass world.

There wasn't any brand-new music to share on Sunday, but we did include a few newer selections from recordings by Jason Barie, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, Donna Ulisse, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and the South Carolina Broadcasters.

Enjoy the week, and we'll look forward to visiting you again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.
