This week’s featured CD is TRAGIC SONGS OF LIFE, a classic 1956 collection of traditional music by the legendary Louvin Brothers, whose vocal blend has never been equaled, in or out of bluegrass.  If I can convince you to pledge $75 or more to support the hard work that goes into preparing and presenting the music you love on BLUEGRASSCOUNTRY.ORG, you’ll treasure your copy of this wonderful set for years.  I welcome your pledge and support–either on line or BGC’s toll free number, 1-877-448-2242.

With best wishes,

Dick Spottswood
