"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 9/16/2012

Hi Folks.

What a day!  We had Bob Bond, the promoter of The Last Green Festival, visit by phone, and we had local favorites Nick Anderson and Monty McClanahan visit with us in person in the studio to talk local bluegrass history, upcoming events, and to play several songs with just guitar and mandolin, reminiscent of the Charlie & Bill style.  Monty may be known outside of our listening area by his song, "Walk Away," recorded by Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike.  Of course we played the VS&LP version on this show.

Nick Anderson & Monty McClanahan at WHUS

We played some brand new music on this program, including songs from Darrell Webb, Nu-Blue, The Roys,  The Grass Cats, and Del & Dawg.  Recent music included songs from Audie Blaylock, Bob Amos, Travers Chandler, Nightflyer, Karl Shiflett, Balsam Range, The Earl Brothers, and Eddie & Martha Adcock with Tom Gray.  We called on our Heritage Corner to work all eight sides into the show that Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys recorded on this day 66 years ago with what is now considered the First Bluegrass Band - Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Chubby Wise, and Howard Watts (a.k.a. Cedric Rainwater).














Amy and I both will be attending the IBMA World of Bluegrass which will keep us away for the next two shows.  James & Cathy Ward have graciously offered to fill-in for us during our absence.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/9/2012

Sixteen years ago today, the BG world lost its father, William Smith Monroe.  As you might expect, we remembered Big Mon today by starting the show off with four songs of the many that have been written in tribute to Monroe in the years since his passing.  We also played a few tunes from Bill Monroe's pen and his recording catalog throughout the show.

In addition to September 9th being the anniversary of Bill Monroe's death, we also celebrated the birthdays of both Paul Adkins (born 9/9/1952) and James King (9/9/1958), as well as those of Bill Monroe (9/13/1911) and Lou Reid (9/13/1954).  

There was plenty of music to play from releases recently received or made available to WHUS through downloads by bands like Delta Reign ("Calm Before The Storm" will be released by Mountain Fever Records), as well as the Yankee Rebels ("Flight Of The Phoenix" on their own label), the San Francisco-based Earl Brothers' fifth recording called "Outlaw Hillbilly," "Pick It Brother" from the teen-and-preteen Moore Brothers Band, and the latest from Ricky Skaggs is called "Music To My Ears."  We also had a couple of "singles" released from forthcoming projects by Nu-Blu (their all-gospel "Nail By Nail" is soon to be released on Pinecastle Records) and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, whose "They're Playing My Song" comes out on Rebel Records on October 25th.  There was plenty of music from 2012 releases, too, by folks like the Special Consensus, Balsam Range, the Boxcars, Jeff Parker, Freeman & Williams, the Spinney Brothers, Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, Richard Bennett, Bob Amos, the Lonesome River Band, and Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show.  

Hope you enjoyed something you heard at some point on Sunday's show.  Be sure to join Jim next Sunday for another addition of Bluegrass Cafe.  Remember, too, that you're cordially invited to visit our Facebook page anytime and give it a "like," if you're so inclined.  There, you'll find information on various BG happenings in the area, and those pesky sports preemptions and things that might cause slight modifications to our programming at WHUS.  Find us on Facebook by clicking here:  www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe.  

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 9/2/2012

Hi Folks.

We had the pleasure of hosting local bluegrass musician Monty McClanahan for a good portion of the show this Labor Day Sunday.  Monty was here to tell us about a great three-day music festival coming up at the end of September in Brooklyn, Connecticut, called The Last Green Festival.  There is an amazing and varied list of musicians performing at this event, including Ricky Skaggs, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, and local favorites Nick Anderson & Shady Creek.  Monty plays mandolin with the latter.  Monty also provided three tickets that we gave away on the show to a couple of lucky callers.

While Monty was visiting, he played us a couple of his own songs using his new Martin D-18 Golden Era guitar, and we played several more from an album he released back in 1998 titled "The Road Less Traveled" as well as a Nick Anderson & Shady Creek song that Nick wrote and on which Monty picked mandolin and sang harmony.  Monty stuck around for a while and helped pick the playlist for a good portion of the next hour, too.  Listener response was great, and we hope to do more of this kind of in-studio performance in the future.

Our homage to Labor Day was "Workin' End Of A Hoe" by Larry Cordle.  Much of the rest of the show was 2012 releases from Balsam Range, Larry Stephenson, The Earl Brothers, Audie Blaylock, Bob Amos, The Grascals, Travers Chandler & Avery County, The Lonesome River Band, Jeff Parker, Richard Bennett, Rhonda Vincent, Karl Shiflett, Mickey Boles, Larry Gillis, and regional band Monadnock.

The Heritage Corner (my name for pioneering bluegrass music on the show) included songs from The Stanley Brothers (1956), J.D. Crowe (1968), Delia Bell & Bill Grant, early Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (soon to be in the IBMA Hall of Fame), Carl Story, and rare Lilly Brothers & Don Stover live in Japan (1973).

Be sure to tune in next week when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring.

Another mixed-up fill-in -- 8/31/2012

As it does three times a year, the schedule has changed again at WHUS.  While the majority of the schedule is filled (the new schedule can be seen here), but there are still a couple of blocks marked, "TBA."  I'm sure the permanent fill-ins for the semester will be determined soon, but in the meantime, I found myself once again on Friday morning doing a bit of a fill-in radio show from 9:00-11:00AM.  As you probably know, when I do these fill-ins I really like to mix up the music a bit by playing a healthy portion of what I like to describe as classic country music with the Bluegrass.  Today's show was really no exception, but, as always, I enjoyed mixing things up on the airwaves.

It's Labor Day weekend, and so, the proverbial "no-brainer" found me playing a number of tunes either with the word "work" in the title, or with "work" as the subject of the song.  The singers of these songs ranged from the First Family of Country Music -- the Carter Family to the Monroe Brothers to Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, to name just a few.  It would have been quite impossible to play country work-themed songs without playing Merle Haggard's 1969 classic, "Workin' Man Blues."  Fortunately, I was able to find an LP in the WHUS music library with that song, as I had completely forgotten to bring a CD with the song to the station this morning.  

Wrap yourself up in George Jones -- this throw available
at www.GeorgeJones.com

The rest of the show included a bunch of great cowboy songs, several duet records, various other favorites, and music from the one and only George Jones.  It seems like the man formerly known as "No-Show Jones" is a great inspiration for countless BG and country singers, and today, I just had a hankering to hear some of his classic tunes.  After 50+ years of touring, George Jones has recently announced that in 2013, he will have his final "Grand Tour," so his fans will only have so many more chances to see him live.  As astute listener called in today to remind me that the George Jones Tour was appearing this very night -- Friday, August 31st -- at the Calvin Theatre in not-too-far-away Northampton, MA.  Maybe someone in the listening area got a chance to go see George?  I sure hope that's true...

Hope everyone has a pleasant remainder of the Labor Day weekend.  Be sure to join Jim once again on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of the "Bluegrass Cafe."

A (mostly) non-Bluegrass fill-in, 8/24/2012

As I'm writing this, Jim is playing all sorts of great BG music on the radio from some BG performers who are celebrating birthdays this week, including folks like the late Carter Stanley as well as banjo legend J.D. Crowe.  He'll be posting today's playlist later on this evening, no doubt, so keep your eyes open to find it...

This past Friday morning, I got to do what turns out to be my final fill-in show for the Summer at WHUS.  It was a fun, fast two hours, and since it was the first filler program I'd done since the death of Kitty Wells in July, I thought it would be quite fitting to play a bit of music from the Queen of Country Music.  As you most likely know, Kitty's biggest hit was 1952's "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels."  That song was an "answer song" to Hank Thompson's hit from the same year, "The Wild Side Of Life."  Answer songs were very popular in country music throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, and it seems that Kitty Wells recorded at least two others others after having such great chart success with "...Angels."  We included those other answer songs from 1953 on Friday's show, as well as the two tunes they "answered" -- hits from Webb Pierce and Carl Smith.  Neither of those songs quite reached the popularity that "...Angels" hit, but they were -- and still are -- worth a listen from time to time.

Early Jim Reeves

August is a busy birthday month for quite a few of the classic country performers I like to spotlight in these fill-in shows, so I also made sure to play songs from a few of them:  Webb Pierce (born 8/8/1926), Porter Wagoner (8/12/1927), Buck Owens (8/12/1929), Jim Reeves (8/20/1924), Carter Stanley (8/27/1927), Kitty Wells (8/30/1919), and two of the Statler Brothers (baritone Phil Balsley born 8/8/1939 and bass Harold Reid on 8/21/1939).  

Early 70s Statlers with Phil & Harold in front

Throw in a bit from the song catalog of the one and only Hank Williams -- a couple of songs sung by Hank, as well as a cover or three from others -- and you've got the kind of WHUS fill-in show that I really enjoy putting together a couple of times a year.  

Hope you'll join us each and every Sunday at the BG Cafe on Sundays, 4-7PM, and we'll be sure to let you know when/if you'll find us on the air at other times throughout the year.  That info is generally found on our BG Cafe Facebook page, which can be looked at by anyone, regardless of whether or not they are Facebook members.  Find the show here:  www.facebook.com/WHUS.Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/19/2012

Howdy - 

This was my second week in a row joining you at the BG Cafe, as Jim had another commitment this afternoon.  Even if we didn't receive any new recordings this week to play on the radio, we still had plenty of great music and information to share, so I'm hopeful you heard something you enjoyed somewhere along the way...

The big news in the BG world this week is that the final nominees for the 2012 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Awards were announced on Wednesday.  The awards will be handed out on Thursday, September 27th in ceremonies at the Ryman Auditorium during IBMA's annual World Of Bluegrass week.  Most of the nominees come as no surprise, but there are a couple of relatively (to me, anyway) notable absences.  The biggest nominee for 2012?  Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, with 9 overall nominations for band members individually and as a group.  On the show today, we played music from some of the actual nominees, as well as a couple of songs from performers we thought should have been remembered in this final round of nominations.  Better luck next year!  If you'd like to see the full list of 2012 nominees, click here.  

In 2011, Doyle Lawson won a couple of IBMA Awards
with old pals, Paul Williams & J.D. Crowe.  In 2012, he's
going into the Hall of Fame!

Another big bit of news announced this week is that Doyle Lawson is going into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame.  Is there a bigger honor in the BG world?  I can't really think of one.  Doyle Lawson has been an incredible bandleader, talent finder, musician, and singer in a professional career that spans 50+ years.  We shared just a little bit of Doyle's music today in his own band (Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver), as well as a track from his Country Gentlemen days, and a song from the Bluegrass Album Band.  Great stuff!  




After last Sunday's show, I realized that I had somehow missed the fact last week that August 12th was the birthdate of one Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr.  Even though Buck Owens recorded a "Bluegrass" album in 1971 ("Ruby") and sometimes had a banjo-playing Buckaroo, the fact is that Buck was not a BG singer.  That fact, though, certainly hasn't stopped numerous BG performers from covering Buck Owens material over the years, so we always like to try to remember some of the country singers whose material is so BG-friendly.  Throughout Sunday's program, we included 10 Buck Owens songs recorded by some mighty fine BG performers (Buck songs in RED in the list that follows), including Lost & Found, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Terry Baucom with the Gibson Brothers, the Virginia Squires, Dailey & Vincent...even a live tune from Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys which featured Bill's daughter, Melissa, on the lead vocal.  No doubt, Buck's fun songs will continue to be covered in the BG world for years and years to come, and that is just fine with me.

While there wasn't any real "new" music to share on the show, there were still several songs from 2012 recording projects, including material by Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show, Bob Amos, the Boxcars, Lonesome River Band, the Spinney Brothers, Special Consensus, Audie Blaylock & Redline, and Kevin Richardson & Cuttin' Edge.  

Be sure to join Jim in the BG Cafe for the next two Sundays, as I'm sure he'll have plenty of terrific music -- old and new -- to share.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/12/2012

The Spinney Brothers at Podunk -- 8/4/2012

Surprise!  It was another busy week at the BG Cafe, with most of the "busy-ness" happening behind the scenes.  If you listen to the show online, or have visited our WHUS website (www.whus.org), you probably know that we input our playlists into a computer as the show progresses, allowing the listener to see on their own computers what's playing.  It can be a bit challenging to engineer a radio show while simultaneously updating the computer with playlist info, finding music to play, and answering the phone, as necessary.  This week, there was an additional challenge, as we also had to do a periodical BMI tracking report, and that one was actually handwritten.  Yikes!

BG Hall of Famers Eddie Adcock & Tom Gray recount
stories of BG life "in the day," while Martha Adcock looks on

As Jim did last week in his post-Podunk program last Sunday, we featured a bit of music from some of the performers who entertained at the 17th annual Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Norwich.  It was a great festival (even if the August humidity might have been a bit over-the-top).  If you missed the festival...well, next year you just need to be at Dodd Stadium in Norwich for Podunk.  We played tunes on Sunday from a few Podunk performers, including the Special Consensus, Travers Chandler & Avery County, the Lonesome River Band, Eddie Adcock & Tom Gray, and the Spinney Brothers, as well as a song from the winners of the 2012 Podunk Band Competition:  Three Tall Pines.  

Other music from newer releases that we played on Sunday's show came from projects by LRB's Randy Jones, Dailey & Vincent's Jeff Parker, Jimmy Gaudreau & Moondi Klein, Bob Amos, Nightflyer, Balsam Range, Town Mountain, Chris Brashear, Paul Williams & the Victory Trio, Mickey Boles, and the Boxcars.  There was also a brand-spanking new recording on Mountain Fever Records from Kevin Richardson & Cuttin' Edge, and a song from a forthcoming project by a band that will be called American Drive (currently, 4/5 of the band are known as "The New South," as they'll continue to work with J.D. Crowe until his retirement comes at the end of 2012).  

Earlene Pike with dad Earl (left) and uncle Fred, with
Sam Tidwell on bass, brother Gordon Pike with a drum,
and guitar picker, Dave Papuga -- early 1970s

We also took a few minutes today to remember a couple of folks with southern New England ties who are no longer with us.  Bluegrass Pioneer Sam Tidwell would have celebrated his 76th birthday on August 11th, so it seemed only proper to remember Sam with a song or two today.  Another singer no longer with us is Earlene Pike -- a young lady from northeastern CT who died on August 11, 1972, a couple of months before reaching her 19th birthday.  Earlene worked with her family band -- the Pike Brothers & the Pine Hill Ranchers -- and the family released at least three albums for Rebel Records in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  

Hope you enjoyed something you heard on the radio today, and that you'll be able to join me once again next Sunday for another edition of the BG Cafe.  

Have a good week!

Amy O.
