"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/30/2021

On this Memorial Day Sunday, it seemed proper to populate the majority of our 58th home-made playlist for Bluegrass Cafe with lots of songs about soldiers who didn't make it home -- the true meaning of this somber holiday. 

In addition to Memorial Day songs, we also included a few newer releases from Audie Blaylock & Redline, the Kody Norris Show, Greg Blake, Donna & Roni Stoneman, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Carolina Blue, Williamson Branch, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.

Please consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/23/2021

On this gorgeous May 23rd, we celebrated what would have been the 95th birthday of Country and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Mac Wiseman (May 23, 1925 - February 24, 2019) with a whole lot of his music.  What better way to remember "The Voice With A Heart?"  

We also celebrated the birthdays of husband-and-wife Bluegrass Hall of Fame members, Tom T. Hall (born May 25, 1936) and Miss Dixie Hall (May 26, 1934 - January 16, 2015) with a full hour's worth of music from their creative minds.  Of course, we could have filled several shows with the music of these two amazingly talented folks, but we limited ourselves to just one hour's worth on Sunday.

There was a tiny bit of newer music to share, as well, with selections from Balsam Range, Lou Reid, Eddie Sanders, Linda Lay, Nick Chandler & Delivered, Deanie Richardson, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, and the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" collection.

Hope you had a lovely Sunday!  We hope you'll join us once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/16/2021

For Sunday's radio show, we remembered the music of a fine country music duo of the 1950s, celebrated the shared birthday of three members of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, and included new music from two fine Bluegrass gospel recordings.  Hope you were able to join us!

Brothers-in-law Johnnie Wright (May 13, 1914 - September 27, 2011) and Jack Anglin (May 13, 1916 - March 8, 1963) performed together as a duo called Johnnie & Jack.  Their music was fun, and several of their songs have been covered in the world of Bluegrass over the years.  

There were selections from several Bluegrass birthday celebrants, including from three Bluegrass Hall of Famers who were all born on May 17th:  fiddler Paul Warren (with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs & the Foggy Mountain Boys), Red Smiley (of Reno & Smiley), and Rodney Dillard of the Dillards. 
 

And there were two new Bluegrass gospel recordings added to the mix this week with selections from both Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers ("Somewhere Beyond The Blue" on Billy Blue Records) and Larry Sparks ("Ministry In Song" on Rebel Records).  Other 2021 music on the show came from Jay Armsworthy & Eastern Tradition, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Deanie Richardson, Jesse Brock, and the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" collection.

Have a fine week, and we hope you'll consider tuning in once more next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Take care -

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/9/2021

Mother & Daughter at Opryland, 1985

Hello, and Happy Mother's Day!  On this day devoted to Mom, hope you were able to enjoy some kind of celebration with your mother, if that is something you like and are able to do.  :)  During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we celebrated both living mothers and mothers who live on in memory with twenty-seven tunes, so hope you heard something you enjoyed among those tunes.

Today also happens to be the birth anniversary of Clarence Eugene Snow -- better known to the Country Music World

Hank Snow (May 9, 1914 - December 20, 1999)

as Hank Snow (May 9, 1914 - December 20, 1999).  Though he had a pretty wretched childhood while growing up with an abusive stepfather in Nova Scotia, Canada, Hank Snow certainly made his mark in the world of Country Music with a nearly 50-year-membership at the Grand Ole Opry, enshrinement in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and dozens of hit records which have become classics.  Hank Snow songs are still often covered by Bluegrass performers, too, so we heard a whole bunch of them in our extended Hank Snow set.

There was a tiny bit of newer music to share, as well, with selections from Matt Dudman, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass.

Thanks for listening!  Hope you'll consider joining us once more next Sunday afternoon - 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/2/2021

Here it is:  "home-made" show #54 of our Bluegrass Cafe!  It seems I was off by one number when I recorded this show, but who's really counting anyway, right?  :)  Sunday's show featured the usual mix of classic and newer Bluegrass, and we even showcased a few songs for blue-eyed listeners.  

There wasn't too much brand-new music to share this week, but we did include a couple more selections from the hot-off-the-presses Pinecastle debut release for the ever-popular Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass:  "Bluegrass Troubadour."  In addition, there was a track from a new fiddle recording by Deanie Richardson, and recent music from the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" recording (from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and Mo Pitney with Merle Monroe), the Kody Norris Show, and Marty Raybon.

There's a slight possibility our show will air slightly later on Mother's Day (May 9th), but we'll be sure to let you know.  Until then, enjoy the week, and thanks for listening!
