This past Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe happened to air on a day that was highlighted by a visit from Tropical Storm Henri. While the majority of the area fared well as far as power outages from Henri's visit, at my home in eastern CT, there was no power or Internet until Monday. As a result, I didn't get a chance to post the radio playlist until later in the week (obviously). Better late than never, I guess...
For our show on August 22nd, we shared a healthy portion of newer Bluegrass music, with selections from Merle Monroe, David Peterson & 1946, Unspoken Tradition, Jeremy Stephens, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Balsam Range, Fast Track, and a new gospel single from the one-and-only Dolly Parton (with a backing quartet of Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, Jerry Salley, and Bradley Walker).
We also had a lengthy birthday tribute to the late Carter Stanley (August 27, 1925 - December 1, 1966), and shared birthday songs in honor of Bluegrass Hall of Famer, J.D. Crowe (born August 27, 1937) and Country Music Hall of Famer, Connie Smith (born August 14, 1941).
Hope you had a great week, and we'll look forward to joining you again this Sunday, August 29th!
See you then!
