Replay of The Folk Brothers from Aug. 31, 2022: More songs about minersMon, 12/15/2025 - 11:00am | Jim BuchananLast week, we played a few sets of songs about coal mining. Then the folk music police saw our playlist and informed us that we needed to be more inclusive, so this week we've diversified a bit and included a few songs about hard rock miners too. But mostly more songs about coal from the likes of Jean Ritchie (pictured), Jez Lowe, Caroline Herring, Doc and Merle Watson, Merle Travis, and Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard. |

Bill-
I was looking at Garth Hudson's long, long list of apearances/studio work on "Credits" for Garth at All Music online. I'm wondering if Garth ever played w/ virtuosi like Yo yo Ma or classical -cross genre giants, jazz greats?? or beyond- bluegrassers like Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Vassar Clements ...etc. You know of any odd bits of his musical history in this vien?
very local neighborhood KDRT-supporter,
