"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/6/2021

As this 59th pre-recorded edition of our Bluegrass Cafe was recorded on June 1st, we felt it was appropriate to share several songs in memory of a member of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame who also happened to be a wonderful songwriter, and one of the first female performers to front her own band:  Hazel Dickens (June 1, 1924 - April 11, 2011).  We included eleven fine songs written and/or performed by her, and one Bill Monroe classic recorded by Hazel and her musical partner, Alice Gerrard.  Fabulous, heartfelt music -- hope you enjoyed it!

In addition to lots of Hazel Dickens songs, we also shared quite a few Bluegrass favorites, and just a few songs from recent (2021) projects, including two songs from a new solo recording by Tina Adair, as well as selections from the Goodwin Brothers, the Lonesome River Band, the Larry Stephenson Band, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Larry Sparks, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and two songs from the "Industrial Strength Bluegrass" recording.

Hope you're staying cool on this very warm Sunday, wherever you might be.  Please consider joining me once again one week from today from 4-7PM for another three hours full of fine Bluegrass music.

Enjoy the week!
