The Yolo County Breakdown

Rocky is joined by a special guest - Queen of California Bluegrass - Laurie Lewis. For 50 years, Laurie has been creating timeless masterpieces of bluegrass music. She is appearing at the Father's Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley, CA June 12-15, and she and Rocky chat about her plans for the fest, her latest album, Trees, and much, much more!

Rocky is joined by a very special guest - the one and only Flux himself - Jerry Douglas. They celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the most important bluegrass recordings of all time - the J.D. Crowe and the New South album better known as Rounder 044. Jerry is one of only 2 surviving members of the band that created a new standard of excellence in bluegrass when they released this album back in 1975. In the 50 years since, Jerry has cemented his place in music history as the greatest dobro player of all time. He has won 16 Grammy Awards and appeared on thousands of recordings in a career that is unmatched by any other resophonic guitar player on planet Earth. Jerry reminisces on the legendary New South recording sessions, playing alongside Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs, Bobby Slone and J.D. Crowe.

More great songs and tunes courtesy of Rocky. The new side of things includes Billy Strings, and Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland. The old side of things includes Reno & Smiley and Clarence White. One guarantee - all the things are worth a listen!

Rocky gives you more great grass. Ralph Stanley, Andy Leftwich, Alan Bibey, Alison Krauss and lots more. Summer is in full swing! Stay Cool!

If Dolly Parton and Doc Watson are played on the show, then it must be a good one. Rocky spins them, plus the latest from John Cowan, the Lonesome River Band, and Mason Via. Happy listening!
