"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/7/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured a whole bunch of fine music, including some birthday celebrations, some new music, some classic favorites, and a remembrance of a Bluegrass veteran who passed in late July.

In the latter category, we remembered the late Dick Smith (October 4, 1943 - July 28, 2022).  We shared music from three different bands with whom Mr. Smith had worked over the years, including the Country Store, Del McCoury & the Dixie Pals, and the Country Gentlemen.  There is a Gents' video that was recently shared on YouTube which features the group's 1984 lineup of Waller/Yates/Gaudreau/Smith.  If you have time to watch it, here's the link:  https://youtu.be/XfocBkA9x7s

New and recent music was part of the mix on Sunday, and we included selections from Russ Carson, the Stoney Creek Bluegrass Band, Route 3, Darren Beachley, Corey Zink, Dave Adkins, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Laura Orshaw, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and the Tennessee Bluegrass Band.

Hope you were able to tune in on Sunday.  Also, hope to see you this weekend at the 25th edition of the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen, CT.  It should be a dandy!  

Have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/31/2022

Ninety-five years ago this week on August 1, 1927, A.P. Carter, his wife Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle (who was also Sara's cousin), travelled to Bristol, Tennessee to make their very first recordings.  During our Bluegrass Cafe, we spent over an hour celebrating the music of the Carter Family with lots of Bluegrass covers from many different performers, as well as music from two generations of this legendary family.

In addition to Carter Family music, there was a healthy portion of new music to share, as well.  To that end, we heard brand-new (or very recent) music from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Chad Darou, the Stillhouse Junkies, Ben James, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, the Lonesome River Band, Peter Rowan, the Gibson Brothers, Laura Orshaw, and the Po' Ramblin' Boys.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, and we look forward to having you along for the ride once again this coming Sunday from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week, and stay cool!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/24/2022

Dan Tyminski will appear at Podunk
on Saturday, August 13th.

On this very warm 24th day of July, we put a small focus on the upcoming Podunk Bluegrass Festival during our Bluegrass Cafe.  We played music from several performers who will be featured at this 25th anniversary edition of Podunk (August 11-14 in Goshen, CT), and we chatted via telephone with Kimberly Tierney who has been working with the Podunk Board this year.  Hope to see you in Goshen!

While celebrating Podunk, we figured we'd pull out another "alphabet spotlight" for a bit, and this week, in honor of Podunk, our selection was the letter P.  To that end, we heard music from Dan Paisley & the Southern Grass, the Price Sisters, David Peterson & 1946, Herb Pedersen, Jeff Parker, Perfect Strangers, Pine Mountain Railroad, and the Po' Ramblin' Boys.

And, of course, we had a bunch of new and recent music to share, too, as we included selections from Dale Ann Bradley (with Exile's J.P. Pennington), the Lonesome River Band, Gena Britt, Ralph Stanley II, Tim Stafford & Thomm Jutz, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, the Del McCoury Band, the Lost & Found, and Dan Tyminski.

Here's hoping you heard something you enjoyed during this day's broadcast.  We'll look forward to seeing you once again next Sunday afternoon:  4-7PM.

Have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/10/2022

Before it's time to post a playlist for tomorrow's Bluegrass Cafe, it's high time to share this playlist from last Sunday's jam-packed edition of our program.  We celebrated birthdays of two very important influences in the world of Bluegrass Music:  the late Charlie Louvin (July 7, 1927 - January 26, 2011) and mandolin legend and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Jesse McReynolds (born July 9, 1929).  We also had a nice telephone chat with Melody Williamson Keyes of Williamson Branch, who will be performing for two days at the upcoming Podunk Bluegrass Festival.  It was a super-busy show!  

Hope you were able to join us on July 10th, and we sure hope to have you join us tomorrow afternoon -- Sunday, July 17th -- from 4-7PM.

See you tomorrow!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/3/2022

For our July 3rd Bluegrass Cafe broadcast, we included a full hour's worth+ of patriotic songs performed in a Bluegrass style.  What else could you possibly expect on the day before Independence Day?  

Not only did we share songs to celebrate the 246th birthday of the USA, but we also celebrated several Bluegrass birthdays, including those of Keith Whitley, Dempsey Young, Charlie Monroe, Everett Lilly, Jesse McReynolds, Peter Rowan, and Jimmy Gaudreau.  

And, as always, there was a bit of newer music to share, with new or recent recordings from Irene Kelley, JR Williams, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Pam Gadd, Appalachian Road Show, Shelton & Williams, the Lost & Found, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Kathy Kallick, and Laura Orshaw.

Finally, we remembered in song two important historical events that took place in the early part of July:  the disappearance of the plane of Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) and the Battle of Gettyburg (July 1-3, 1863).

Hope you're all having a safe and happy 4th of July!  We'll look for you on the radio once again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/26/2022

As we do on occasion, for this past Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we chose to spend a little bit of time spotlighting performers whose surname or band name begins with a certain letter of the alphabet.  For no particular reason, this week's spotlight letter was an "S."  To that end, we included 20+ songs from several "S" performers, including Larry Sparks, Shannon Slaughter, Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, Special Consensus, Sister Sadie, the Larry Stephenson Band, Seldom Scene, the Spinney Brothers, and quite a few more.  

We also celebrated a couple of Bluegrass birthdays, including that of the late Hall of Fame fiddler Kenny Baker (June 26, 1926 - July 8, 2011).  We also belatedly celebrated the birthday of another super-innovative banjo picker and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Eddie Adcock (born June 21, 1938).

And we remembered James Reams, a musician who was a wonderful ambassador for Bluegrass both in the northeast and the southwest.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, but if not, you've got another chance coming up this Sunday from 4-7PM.  See you then.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/19/2022

We had ourselves an overstuffed Bluegrass Cafe on this Father's Day!  As you might expect, we included a few songs about fathers (not half as many as we could have possibly played!), plus songs performed by Bluegrass fathers and their sons and daughters.  In addition, there was a little bit of new music, and for good measure, we also celebrated the 108th birth anniversary of the one and only Lester Flatt (June 19, 1914 - May 11, 1979).  Phew!  

There are lots of Bluegrass families, and we heard from several of them, including those with the last names of Amos, Armistead, Cox, Dailey, Emerson, Feinberg, Harrell, McCoury, McGee, Monroe, Mullins, Paisley, Parmley, Pike, Reno, and Stanley.  

There was new or recent music, too, from Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Blue Highway, Kathy Kallick, Junior Sisk, Unspoken Tradition, and the Gibson Brothers.

And we remembered a wonderful lady who was a steady presence and wonderful supporter of Bluegrass promoters and performers, alike:  Etta Crawford (August 20, 1942 - June 11, 2022).  

Hope you dads enjoyed your Father's Day.  Please consider joining me once again one week from today from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/12/2022

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe playlist featured no particular plan, although we did play a good bit of newer music, along with a couple of songs about Flag Day, and four songs in honor of the 80th birthday of a true music legend, Sir Paul McCartney.

There was a whole bunch of new Bluegrass to share from long-time veterans and new performers, too.  To that end, there were new recordings from David Parmley, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, Marty Raybon, the Tim Raybon Band, Jeff Brown & Still Lonesome, Casey Penn, and Audie Blaylock.  In addition, there was music from recent recordings by Laura Orshaw, Authentic Unlimited, and the Tennessee Bluegrass Band.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, but if not this week, we'll look forward to having you join us for another new show this Sunday.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/5/2022

Nearly one-half of all of the songs we shared during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe were played in celebration of someone's birthday.  We also included some newer music during our three-hour program, so hope you were able to join us.

Most of the selections played during Hour #1 of Sunday's show were written and/or co-written by the late power couple of Tom T. Hall (May 25, 1936 - August 20, 2021) and Miss Dixie Hall (May 26, 1934 - January 16, 2015).  The songs they wrote together or separately are noted in green bold print on the  playlist below.  To say these two late members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame were prolific songwriters seems a bit of an understatement, and in truth, we could easily fill the whole three hours with songs written by only them.  On Sunday, we just limited ourselves to one hour.

There were lots of early June birthdays to celebrate, too, including those of Hazel Dickens, Suzanne Cox, Tony Rice, Clarence White, Charlie Cline, Jamie Dailey, and even the lead singer and main songwriter of the Statler Brothers, Don Reid.

Newer music was heard was heard, as well, from the likes of Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Laura Orshaw, Authentic Unlimited, Rick Lang, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, and Peter Rowan.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, but if not, you'll have another chance this weekend.  We'll see you at 4PM.

Enjoy the week!
