Today's show includes several bluegrass and country songs influenced by British folk-rocker Richard Thompson. The idea came to me as I realized Alison Krauss & Union Station had used Thompson's "Dimming of the Day" on their new CD, Paper Airplane. The show also includes the usual mix of old-time, bluegrass, and country. Hope you enjoyed it!
This week, I'm due to report my "top bluegrass" lists to Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Music Profiles. So, please, let me know what you think of the new bluegrass played on today's show: Survey for 4/18 show.
You can still let me know what you thought about the new bluegrass played on April 11, April 4, and March 28.
Well, on to today's playlist. Thanks for your support!
