"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/11/2023

This day's Bluegrass Cafe included lots of fine music, end of story.  :)  To be slightly more specific, we included new music, classic tunes, our "Letter of the Week" spotlight, and a few tunes recorded by Jim & Jesse 71 years ago this week.

Jim & Jesse made their first recordings for Nashville's Capitol Records on June 13, 1952.  Amazingly, they recorded a total of EIGHT "sides" (songs) that day -- just about unheard of these days.  And these songs turned out to be classics featuring wonderful harmonies from these brothers.  We listened to three of the eight songs on Sunday.

Our feature "Spotlight Letter of the Week" was the letter E, so we heard songs from "E" performers with a band name or last name beginning with that letter.  The "E" performers included Bill Emerson (with several different partners), East Nash Grass, Jim Eanes, Dave Evans, the Earls Of Leicester, and a few others.

New music was part of the show, too, with selections from Rick Faris, Nothin' Fancy, and Carson Peters & Iron Mountain.

Hope you'll consider joining us next Sunday afternoon starting at 4PM.

Have a good week!
