They’ll spin five debut songs today, including… ●      A song from a prolific songwriter who isn’t shy about recording other songwriters’ material ●      A song from an absolute GIANT in the bluegrass world,  with a guest artist who is a giant in the country music business, but successfully straddles the line between country and bluegrass ●      A song that’s the first recording in over a decade by an artist who came to the USA from Europe and ended up marrying and settling down right in the heart of bluegrass territory.   ●      And a song from a legend in the bluegrass world,  who’s recorded an album with just himself and his guitar and his son on the bass.    And today’s show is peppered with personal insights from Mike Mitchell, who lives and breathes in the midst of the bluegrass action in the mountains of Virginia Available 21 May, 2023, at podomatic.com/podcasts/bttop20 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!
