Join Caroline Wright in Kea‘au, Hawai‘i and Mike Kear in Sydney, Australia as they count down the 20 hottest bluegrass songs on the charts according to BluegrassToday.com.As always, Mike and Caroline will share some of this week's freshest, ripest bluegrass music. They’ll introduce three debut tunes (from Joe Mullins and his Radio Ramblers, Volume Five, and Darren Nicholson), reveal a pair of tunes tied this week at #6, and count down to a new #1! The latest episode includes an installment of PICKIN’ ON THE PLANET, in which we check in on the bluegrass music community in Barcelona, Spain! We sat down with Lluís Gómez and Joan Manel Hernàndez and learned all about AL RAS, Barcelona’s bluegrass association! There’s a vibrant, active bluegrass scene there, with jams, workshops and camps, and a big festival every fall.This episode also includes a wacky new installment of Mike & Caroline’s BIG BLUEGRASS TIME MACHINE! The Time Machine has been in the shop for a while – Harold’s Super Service comes highly recommended, and its temporal specialists have been working hard to tweak the Flux capacitor! The machine is finally ready to take Mike and Caroline all over the bluegrass timeline, from the birth of bluegrass and BEYOND! It’s a high lonesome melodrama you will not soon forget.  Coming Sunday, February 19th, 2023, at podomatic.com/podcasts/mkear or on iHeart radio, Apple/iTunes, Amazon Music, Player FM, Audible, or wherever you catch your favorite podcasts! Download the Podomatic app on your phone or tablet, search for BTTop20, and follow us so you never miss an episode!
