On this last Sunday of June, we shared songs about Mississippi and celebrated a few of its wonderful contributions to the world of music, and we paid belated birthday tributes to two wonderful members of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame: Eddie Adcock (born June 21, 1938) and the late Joe Val (June 26, 1926 - June 11, 1985). In addition, there was even a little bit of newer music to share. Yay!
Our Mississippi "tribute" included songs about Mississippi (the State and the River), as well as a few songs from the song catalogs of some important Mississippi-born performers including Jimmie Rodgers, Elvis Presley, Marty Stuart, and Carl Jackson.
Newer music came to us from the long-awaited solo outing from Jesse Brock, as well as recent releases from Stoney Creek Bluegrass, the Kody Norris Show, Tina Adair, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Larry Sparks, Williamson Branch, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" recording.
Hope you'll be sure to join us for a (partially) star-spangled Bluegrass Cafe on July 4th!
Until then, have yourself a wonderful week!
