"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 6/7/2009

Hi Folks.

It has been a busy bluegrass week for us as we came off of the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival the weekend prior, and are now preparing for the Sam Tidwell Tribute Day next week. To honor Sam, I played a few tracks from the 1976 LP from Fred Pike, Sam Tidwell, and the Kennebec Valley Boys, "The Last Log Drive" (Revonah). That also comprised Part 1 of my Heritage Corner this week. (see photo)

Part 2 was a couple of tracks of the LP from Jimmy Martin with Paul Williams and J.D. Crowe, "Big Jam Session" (Old Homestead).

Also because of the upcoming Sam Tidwell Tribute Day, several songs featured two of the performers at that upcoming event, Jimmy Gaudreau and Moondi Klein.

We heard new music from Jeremy Garrett, Chris Pandolfi, and Rhonda Vincent. We heard recent music from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Steve Martin, The Gibson Brothers, Dailey & Vincent, Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa, Patsy, Donna, & Roni Stoneman, Lost & Found, Anne & Pete Sibley (recorded live at Merlefest in April), and Bobby Osborne.

Also included below Sunday's playlist below is the playlist for a fill-in I did last Sunday, May 31, the evening after the end of the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival. I used that time to reprise many of the artists who appeared at the festival.

Amy and I both will be at Sam Tidwell Tribute Day next Sunday. We are working on a bluegrass fill-in, so be sure to tune in at the regular time (if you are not at Sam's tribute!) to see what happens. Jim

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/31/2009 PLUS a Country-ish/BG fill-in - 5/21/2009

Here's a horrible "problem" -- there's too much great Bluegrass music right now to cram it all into 3 hours a week. We always like to play recordings that are new at WHUS, as really, the music is a living, growing thing, and new music really needs to be heard. However, we also like to weave in each week music from performers' earlier projects, as well as tunes from the pioneers. After all, without a Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Reno & Smiley....where would we be? On Sunday, I had a very hard time playing all of the music I wanted to play in three short hours, but I'm happy to know that there are always future weeks for Bluegrass programming at WHUS.

On Sunday's show, we unveiled some new tunes from projects by Barry Scott & Second Wind ("In God's Time" on Rebel Records), Phil Rosenthal (his own American Melody label's "A Treasury Of Bluegrass & Country Songs"), New Hampshire's White Mountain Bluegrass ("Oh So Many Years" on their own label), and Darin Aldridge & Brooke Justice ("I'll Go With You" on Pinecastle Records, but our copy courtesy of Irene & Ted Lehmann -- thanks to them!). We also listened to tunes from forthcoming projects by two great acts signed to Rural Rhythm Records: Lou Reid & Carolina and Randy Kohrs. We look forward to hearing lots more from all of these performers in future weeks....

In addition, we celebrated a couple of birthdays, most notably those of Tom T. Hall and his wife, Miss Dixie Hall -- born on May 25th & May 26th respectively. It's no secret that both of these fine folks have been writing up a storm in recent years, as it's hard to pick up a new CD by anyone and NOT find a tune written by either Tom T. or Miss Dixie or both. While we could easily fill several programs with tunes composed by these two, we limited ourselves to playing just six of their fine tunes on Sunday. Best wishes to them both for many more years of creativity.

Although it was a bit late, we also paid tribute to the "Singing Ranger" -- Hank Snow -- who would have celebrated his 95th birthday on May 9th. Through the years, many of Hank's tunes have been covered in the BG world, so we picked out just a couple of them to showcase on Sunday.

Last Thursday & Friday, I got to hear (and see) some great BG at nearby Strawberry Park in Preston, CT from the likes of Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, the Gibson Brothers, Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters, and Kenny & Amanda Smith. Jim shared emcee duties at Strawberry Park, so he'll be able to fill you in next time with info about the rest of the festival.

Along with this week's playlist, I'm also including a playlist for a fill-in I did at WHUS on the morning on Thursday, May 21st. I didn't stick to only BG, but there was a good bit of it showcased that morning.

Hope to see you all at the upcoming Sam Tidwell Tribute Day in Sterling, CT on June 14th. I'll post more about that fine event later this week....

Thanks for listening, and be sure to join Jim & Marti next Sunday as they play even more great Bluegrass for your listening pleasure.

Amy

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 5/24/2009 - Memorial Day Show

Hi Folks.

For the Memorial Day show I was able to find about two hours of material from my personal library that related directly or indirectly to honoring fallen soldiers. Much of the material was classic which fit well with my Heritage Corner, but there was some great new material as well.

The show was nearly four hours long because of some extra programming time prior to the schedule change for the summer, and that allowed some new material to air in addition to the Memorial Day tribute songs.

We heard new music from Jeremy Garrett, Chris Pandolfi, Bearfoot, Del McCoury, and Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. We heard recent music from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Steve Martin, David Davis & The Warrior River Boys, The Gibson Brothers, Alecia Nugent, Dailey & Vincent, Frank Wakefield, Nathan Stanley & Ralph Stanley, Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa, and Bobby Osborne.

There were many songs that qualified for the Heritage Corner including material from The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover, Carl Sauceman & his Green Valley Boys, The Louvin Brothers, Charlie Monroe, J. E. Mainer's Mountaineers (recorded in Concord NC, my hometown, in 1963), Don Reno & Red Smiley, and Red Allen.

A special Heritage Corner segment was a song appropriate to Memorial Day by Margaret Brixey titled "Captain Rosie". Moosup resident Archie Kneeland tipped me off a few years ago about this song, and because Marti and I had played it on our other show at the time -- Red Rooster Party, it found its way onto our on-line playlist. Margaret Brixey found that web site and corresponded with us. The following is from her notes and with her permission:

Hello Marti and Jim,

I recorded this song when I was 16 at the famous Bradley's Barn Recording Studio in Mt. Joliet, Tennessee. Ernest Tubb found the song for me for my first Decca session and Owen Bradley, my producer approved it. My Mom and I cried when we listened to the demo for the first time.

While having my website (www.ndnbabies.com) worked on, I happened onto yours. I was happy to see that someone was still playing that song, because I always liked it. Thank you for sharing it with your listeners.

Margaret Janeese Brixey Flanagan
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

After I asked some more questions, she sent this reply:

If you look on my website, ...on the Artist page, there is a website referrenced. It is down at the bottom of the page near the third picture of me. ( Tulsa TV Memories.) There is supposed to be a link there. It gives you the story of how I came to record for Decca Records in Nashville.

I do still sing today. I will always love to sing. However, I am now caring for my 86 year- old Father.... I want him to be happy in his last years and intend to see that he is. So, I do not get out much these days.

"Captain Rosie" was recorded in January of 1970 . I turned 16 in November of '69. It was the "B" side of "Before Charlie Gets Home" by Bill Anderson. But it received equal air play in some markets. Which is kinda unusual. It was sent out to radio stations by Decca Records in the same envelope with Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin' ".

I was ready to quit singing as a career by the time I was 18. I wanted to be happily married and to have kids. I had 6 children. When the youngest one was 14 my 28 year marriage ended, so I started singing again here locally. It helped me over the hump, and I met my fiance, who is a jazz pianist from New York. Don LOVES Country music and has given me an appreciation for alot of good ole standards and some Jazz.

Great to hear from you!

Take Care,
Margaret

I'll be doing some of the MC work down at the Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival in Preston, CT between Thursday and Sunday, so be sure to say "hi" if you are there.

Be sure to tune in next Sunday at 4pm ET when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring, but without the extra hour.

Jim

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 5/17/2009

We are once again in a between-the-semesters mode at WHUS. For us, this means a "bonus" hour of Bluegrass Cafe for a week or two, as we've been coming on the air at 3PM. We'll do it at least once more next Sunday (5/24), so be sure to tune in to Jim & Marti good and early.

So, in our "bonus" hour yesterday, I thought it might be fun to play a few classic country tunes, and then, find a BG equivalent. It's not surprising to pick up a new recording from a BG performer and find that he or she has chosen to record an old country song from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, or even the 1980s or later. Sometimes, that's a good thing. Really, we could fill up at least 3 or 4 hours with country songs and BG remakes (or vice versa, in some cases), but we limited ourselves to just one hour yesterday. I enjoyed it quite a bit, I must confess...

The remainder of the "normal" three hours was spent playing lots and lots of great Bluegrass, new and not-so-new. Among yesterday's brand-new was the fine Rural Rhythm debut for the newly-renamed Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. Russell's voice is as strong as ever, and it's pretty easy to hear why he's received two IBMA Awards for "Male Vocalist of the Year." Check out this band at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival on August 1st, and be sure to keep listening to BG Cafe, as I'm certain you'll hear lots more from this fine CD in future weeks.

Also included in Sunday's show were tunes from a couple of newer CDs released by Patuxent Music. Both of these CDs feature young talent -- the future of BG, perhaps? The Doerfels are a talented family band who've played at Maine's Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival, as well as lots of other places, and Angelica Grim is a 19-year-old Californian with a big voice and a fine new CD.

Jim & Marti join you next Sunday starting off at 3PM. Have yourselves a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, and be sure to take a moment to remember a veteran.

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 5/10/2009 Mother's Day

Hi Folks.

This show fell on Mother's Day, so that was the theme. I figured there would be plenty of mother songs to choose from, but was actually surprised at just how many there are. Mothers are a popular bluegrass topic. Judging from your calls, it was popular with the Bluegrass Cafe audience as well.

Amongst the mother songs, several artists have new music that debuted on this show including Alecia Nugent; Patsy, Donna & Roni Stoneman; and Nathan Stanley & Ralph Stanley.

We also featured very recent releases from David Davis and the Warrior River Boys, The Gibson Brothers, Dale Ann Bradley, David Peterson, Special Consensus, and Melonie Cannon.

In my newly-named "Heritage Corner" I had two features. The first was Mack Woolbright and Charlie Parker and their 1927 recording of "The Man Who Wrote Home Sweet Home Never Was A Married Man." Earl Scruggs has cited the three-finger banjo picking of Mack Woolbright on "Home Sweet Home" as an early influence, so we followed that tune with Earl's latest recording of "Home Sweet Home" on Jerry Douglas's "Glide" album to show the influence over 80 years later.

The second Heritage Corner feature was two original cuts of a 1984 LP from local bluegrass legend Bill Hall and Northwind Bluegrass (see photo) that featured Skip Gorman and Rick Starkey in addition to songwriter and banjo picker Bill Hall.

I suppose a third feature was my own mother describing her childhood ride in a mule-drawn wagon to Midland, NC, where her family got to hear Charlie & Bill Monroe perform in the two-room schoolhouse. Her mother (my grandmother) loved "What Would You Give In Exchange," so we followed my mom with that song.

Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring next Sunday, so tune in.

Jim

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 5/3/2009 - Wayne Taylor

There was excitement in the studio Sunday because we had the good fortune to have Wayne Taylor of Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa on the air with us live by telephone. Wayne has assembled a super band following his retirement from the US Navy where he was leader of the Navy's bluegrass unit, The Country Current. We featured a few songs from Wayne's new CD as well as a couple from an earlier Wayne Taylor collaboration with Bill Emerson. When you see Wayne, you must ask him about the time he performed for Bill Monroe.

We also played brand new music from two outstanding new CDs from The Gibson Brothers and Dale Ann Bradley.

With history in mind, we bookended Frank Wakefield's career (so far) by playing one of his oldest (from vinyl) and newest recorded instrumentals. It is amazing how consistent his tone is across 56 years.

Anne & Pete Sibley have a local concert in the area this coming Friday, so we played a fine song from one of their recent CDs.

We had short segments honoring Benny Martin (birthday this coming week), the Kentucky Derby (race horse songs), and Cinco de Mayo.

There was another cause to celebrate Sunday as James and Cathy Ward programmed their last one-hour segment of the show as trainees (their selections are in blue below). They did a great job, and we will now wait and see if they decide to pursue their own show. James' and Cathy's selections are indicated on the playlist in blue.

There is an astounding number of quality new releases lately, so I'll be eager to get some more of them on the air next week when Marti and I are back again.
