"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/14/2024

With a whole lot of the country being impacted by soaring temperatures during this mid-July edition of our Bluegrass Cafe, we opted to open the show with a few "cold" songs.  Not sure how much we succeeded in cooling folks down, but the thought was there...

A tiny bit of new music made its way onto the program on Sunday, when we heard brand-new music from Dan Tyminski, Alan Bibey, and Thomas Cassell.  There was also music from recent releases from Missy Raines, Daniel Grindstaff, Tony Trischka, and Junior Sisk.

Several mid-July birthdays were celebrated, as well, including those of Rhonda Vincent, Mike Barber, Richard Underwood, Ricky Skaggs, and Wayne Taylor.  In honor of the late Charlie Louvin (July 7, 1927 - January 26, 2011), we shared lots of songs from the Louvin Brothers Songbook.  Charlie was the shorter, younger, guitar-playing member of this immensely talented brother duo, and he and brother Ira wrote many of the songs they recorded over the years.  Lots of Louvin songs have been covered by Bluegrass performers over the years -- so many that we could probably have filled the whole three hours with Louvin tunes.  On Sunday, though, we limited ourselves to 14 covers of Louvin-penned songs.  Great stuff!

Hope you enjoyed the program!  I'll look forward to our next visit in the Bluegrass Cafe this coming Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.  

See you soon!
