Across the Blue Ridge #134 - Summer Listening: Bluegrass, New Recordings, Blue Ridge Music Center

Summer listening sessions continue with a wonderful selection of classic bluegrass and crossover bluegrass honky-tonk.  Hear Reno & Smiley, the Maddox Brothers & Rose and more.  Plus this week, new recordings from the respected Tennessee old-time fiddler Mike Bryant (with ATBR host Paul Brown on banjo) and a trio album of great songs old and new from Cathy Fink, Marcy Marxer and Sam Gleaves.  Finally, a moment with Richard Emmett of the Blue Ridge Music Center, considering upcoming shows with The Mountain Park Old Time Band, The Revelers, and Rhiannon Giddens.  Great music all the way through.
