March Madness!

Sunday Bluegrass Breakdown entered into the fray of March Madness with a show spotlighting the work of Alison Krauss (see previous post). The 36 year old, 21-time Grammy Award winner has had an amazing 28-year career. Understated.

Other than songs by Alison and her usual suspects (Union Station), the show kicked out tunes by newer artists like AJ Roach and old favorites like Benny Martin's "Wabash Cannonball," Bill Monroe's "Y'all Come, " and The Country Gentlemen's "Fox On The Run."

First played among the non-Krauss songs was "Revelation," the title track by Virginia artist AJ Roach. This release has hit #1 in England, yet I've really not heard much press about it in the US. Maybe I should listen to more radio.
