While we spent the majority of our December 29th broadcast sharing music from 2019 projects, after the show, we thought of several recordings that had inadvertently been skipped. To that end, we played several more 2019 selections on Sunday, including music from Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, the Hot Flashes, the Garrett Newton Band, Nothin' Fancy, Edgar Loudermilk Band, the Cadleys, Johnny & Jeanette Williams, Louisa Branscomb, Jesse McReynolds, the Lonesome River Band, Alan Bibey & Grasstowne, Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, and a few others. January 6th marks the 94th birth anniversary of a true legend: Bluegrass & Country Music Hall of Famer Earl Scruggs. We shared several songs spanning several years in this banjo innovator's career. The music and life of this legend are so intriguing that there is even a new book recently published about one specific instrumental tune he wrote and recorded in 1949, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown. This book is in my "to be read" pile for 2020. Perhaps you might like to check it out, too?
Have a great week, thanks for listening, and we'll see you next Sunday!
