Our mailbox sometimes contains CDs for us to review. Here is where you will find reviews of the CD’s Central Texas Bluegrass Association receives as well as reviews of live performances or workshops. CTBA has its Annual Band Scramble - Good fun!! Steep Canyon Rangers Nobody Knows You (2012), Rounder Records. Together for 12 years, the Steep Canyon Rangers are most noted in recent years for backing comedian Steve Martin. The Rangers stated goal for this CD was to “sep- arate themselves from the pack,” which they manage to do with their strong ar- rangements and top-notch production. Definitely con- temporary grass, nothing Rose in the Tall Grass: Elise Bright (fiddle), Russell Holley-Hart (mando), Tony Kamel (guitar), Lenny Nichols (bass), traditional here. Following Greg Lowery (dobro), Lyndal Cannon (banjo) in the Nickel Creek/Union Station vein, this collection of originals is full of rhyth- mic punches; time and me- ter shifts, which are com- monplace among today’s top groups. Their vocal har- monies are stellar. “Easy To Love” (Tr 3) has a nice Celtic 6/8 feel. Other songs have a swing feel (“Between Mid- night and the Dawn” Tr 4), a ballad (“Natural Disaster” Tr 6) and rocking acous- tic country groove (“Long Shot” Tr 12). All cuts are strong, so pick one and en- joy. -Eddie Collins The Lost Band: Sheryl Sultenfuss (fiddle), Roy Wilhite (mando), Georgia Canfield (guitar), Aaron Upham (bass), Ben- Sorrells (guitar), Lyndal Cannon (banjo) 3 COPYRIGHT © CENTRAL TEXAS BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION Carry Me Back-OCMS Proving once again that they aren’t just one hit wonders known only for “Wagon Wheel”, the Old Crow Medicine Show re- leases Carry Me Back. This CD has a little more diver- The Downing Family: John Downing (fiddle), Jay Del-Mier (mando), Chris Beine (dobro), Doug Sultenfuss (bass), Sharon Sandomirsky (guitar), Mat Downing (banjo) sity than their last release as is proven by the vast differences between the waltz “Ain’t it Enough” and the hard driving drinking song “Mississippi Satur- day Night”. My personal favorites are “Levi”, “Ain’t it Enough”, and “Ways of Man”. These New York boys were lucky enough be traveling around and while in North Carolina they were heard by Doc Watson who immediately signed them to play Mer- lefest. A year or so later they played the Cactus Up, Up, & Away: Amy Collins (flute), Micah Upham (fiddle), Tracie Upham (mando), George Rios (guitar), Steve Man- in front of Doyle Law- gold (bass), Mike Hollern (guitar), Tracy Sloan (banjo) son & Quicksilver.

It was held indoors in the South Shore Harbour Resort for the second year in a row. Before this venue, Fire on the Strings was held at a KOA campground. It was a great idea to have a festival indoors so that everyone could get away from the heat. Summer festivals are usually outdoors and hot, but everyone seemed to love the fact that this one was air-conditioned. Local bluegrass band Third Rail played twice over the course of the weekend, and were, as usual, a big hit with the audience. Right after Third Rail, The James King Band took the stage and delivered an awesome performance, with lots of meaningful songs. Since I had never heard him before, I did not know what to expect, but I was very impressed with Mr. King’s singing and the overall sound of the band. About halfway thru the show, I realized why I liked his voice so much -- he sounded just like Carter Stan- ley! Probably my favorite band of the night was Special Consensus. Their songs were all energetic, they had great vocal harmo- nies, and they all kept a very tight rhythm through- out the set. Several gospel songs they did in amazing four part harmony that blew me away. Greg Cahill, the leader of the band, is much older than the rest of the band, so they often poke fun at his age. Rick Ferris, the mandolin player, joked that the other origi- nal members of the band had tragically died in the Civil War. They played well, but the sound was just too loud. I also noticed that all their singing 7 COPYRIGHT © CENTRAL TEXAS BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION songs were in B. Literally, the first ten songs were all in B. I especially liked one of their instrumen- tals, “Danny’s Dance,” which sounds more like an Irish tune than bluegrass. Chris Jones and the Night- drivers closed the festival both nights and did a great job. It was disappointing to see them perform for so few people on the last night. At- tendance in general wasn’t that great. The Nightdriv- ers did a good job of featur- ing each instrument/artist at some point during each set. Chris Jones did a 1970’s truck- er song called “Wolf Creek Pass.” The Nightdriver’s man- dolin player, Mark Stoffel, per- formed a bluegrass version of “Edelweiss,” from The Sound of Music. They also used humor very well. Most of it came from Ned Luberecki who sang several funny songs including a John Hart- ford song, “Boogie,” which he sang both forwards and backwards.

    JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER Submitted to the Graduate School Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Center for Appalachian Studies JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER May 2018 APPROVED BY: Sandra L. Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

  • GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013
    DESERT BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013 Editor’s Note: The following article is reprinted with permission from Desert Leaf Magazine (Vol. 27, No. 4, Apr. 2013, pp 41-43.). The article was written by Karen Smith, a local freelance writer. BLUEGRASS IN THE DESERT by Karen Smith When you think about Tucson, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Believe it or not, for lots of people the answer is bluegrass music! Like our gorgeous sunsets and stately saguaros, bluegrass is a major part of the personality of southern Arizona. How bluegrass became so popular in Tucson is a mystery today. From the oldest bluegrass songs and melodies, we know that early English, Scottish and Irish settlers brought their instruments to America and played the tunes of their native countries. Banjos, fiddles and mandolins were part of their immigration journey. In some cases, washtubs and washboards, and even spoons became part of their sound. The term “bluegrass” specifically refers to the genre of music that evolved from this immigrant music and was championed in the 1940s by American musician Bill Monroe (1911-1996) and his band, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, named for Monroe’s home state of Kentucky. In a bluegrass band, traditionally one or more instruments carry the melody, and then each of the instruments, individually, takes a turn playing the melody, with improvisations. These are called breakdowns, and the best of them feature musicians playing faster than water drops dancing on a hot griddle. The breakdown portions of bluegrass songs encourage musicians to develop speed and improvisational skills.

  • Kevin Welch & Dustin Welch
    At Sunday July 16th 4:00-6:00 p.m. "When we first heard these two artists play together at Woody Fest, we were so impressed. Each presented his own kind of writing and image, but together they were like water and fire. Kevin wore white flowing clothes and his song, 'Come a Rain', created an aura of wisdom that can only come from a seasoned songwriter. Dustin wore black jeans and a hat and his song, 'Two Horses', unleashed Kevin Welch & the youthful need for both a wildness and steadiness that must dwell in each of us." ~ Faye Wedell and Scott Lipsett. Dustin Welch Iconic Father + Gifted Son = Dynamic Duo We've been trying since 2013 and have finally booked these two singer-songwriters extraordinaire. Kevin — After one semester of music school in Edmond, Oklahoma, Kevin joined a bluegrass band, dropped out of school, and hit the road. He traveled a honkytonk circuit for five years. Then he got married, moved to Nashville where he wrote songs for ten years, starting in 1978. Kevin made two records with Warner Bros — 'Kevin Welch' in 1990 and 'Western Beat' in 1992 — before he and some of his buddies (Kieran Kane, Harry Stinson, Mike Henderson, Tammy Rogers) started their own label, Dead Reckoning Records. They released 21 records over the next seven years, toured individually and also together as a collective called A Night Of Reckoning (with Fats Kaplin and Allison Prestwood) through the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Europe, and Canada. Starting in 2000, Kevin teamed up again with Kieran Kane and Fats Kaplin, recording and touring.
