Top Newer Bluegrass Songs for the period ending 7/22/12

Reported to Bluegrass Unlimited (top 12) and Bluegrass Music Profiles (top 20)

I love summer--so many great new CDs come out as artists go on the festival circuit. In particular, two new CDs caught my attention this month: Rhonda Vincent's Sunday Mornin' Singin' and Bob Amos's Borrowed Time. Because when I heard Bob Amos's "Where the Wild River Rolls" I immediately bought the entire CD on line, that song gets my vote as number one this month. Rhonda Vincent's "Blue Sky Cathedral" is a great Gospel song that I've been telling people about all month. Two great songs: getting my vote for number one and number two.

  2. Rhonda Vincent, Blue Sky Cathedral
  3. Lou Reid & Carolina, Carolina Moonshine Man
  4. Dailey and Vincent, Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord
  5. Darrin & Brooke Aldridge, Lonely Ends Where Love Begins
  6. April Verch, Guide Me Home
  7. Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Moon Magic
  8. Freeman & Williams, When Halley Came to Jackson
  9. Steep Canyon Rangers, Reputation
  10. Mike Scott, Aubrey Haynie, Mike Compton, Bryan Sutton & BenIsaacs, Road to Columbus
  11. Donna Ulisse, Let it Rain
  12. The Missy Werner Band, I’d Rather Love a Memory
  13. Ronnie Bowman, The Story in your Eyes
