Playlist - 11/22/2015

Johnnie Wright and Jack Anglin
Hi Folks.

This was a one-hour show because of a sports preemption.  Joe Bussard's 7th show for WHUS Red Rooster Party aired on this show during the last half-hour.

Prior to Joe, we played some great 1950s country with Johnny Horton, Johnnie and Jack, and The Louvin Brothers.  Jimmy Murphy did a song from his later 1978 album.  We played four songs recorded on the questionable quality Paramount label including an early 1929 version of Been On The Job Too Long by Wilmer Watts & The Lonely Eagles which was later covered in bluegrass very successfully by The Johnson Mountain Boys.

For his 7th show on WHUS, Joe Bussard broke once again from his regular early country format to present an all-bluegrass show.  He hit on some relatively rare bluegrass recordings from the 1950s and ventured just a little beyond that with tracks from The Country Gentlemen and The Seldom Scene.  Outstanding tracks included Benny and Vallie Cain's first recording, a Jack Youngblood fiddle tune, and a very obscure gospel number from The Blue Ridge Buddies.  If you missed it, or want to hear it again, it is here for a while.
Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintock

Tune in next Sunday for another great afternoon of early country classics from both me and Joe Bussard.
