It's December! That means it was time to feature some of the Christmas tunes on our Bluegrass Cafe this week! We did just that, sharing seasonal classics from the Country Gentlemen and Stanley Brothers, as well as brand-new Christmas music from the Kody Norris Show, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Crandall Creek. We'll continue to share Christmas music during each broadcast leading up to Christmas, so look forward to hearing it.
The month of December also inspired me to dig out some music from "D" performers -- those whose last names or band names begin with the letter "D." Those from the "D" list included Dailey & Vincent, David Davis & the Warrior River Boys, Deeper Shade Of Blue, Detour, Diamond Creek, Bob Dick, Joe Diffie, the Dillards, Dry Branch Fire Squad, Matt Dudman, Stuart Duncan, and a few others.
And if all of that wasn't enough, we also shared nine IBMA Songs of the Year from the very first one in 1991 ("Colleen Malone" by Hot Rize) to the most recent recipient (Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway with "Crooked Tree"). Great music, all of it.
Hope you enjoyed the show, and also, please join me once more this coming Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM for another Bluegrass Cafe!
Enjoy the week!
