If you were listening last week, you'll know that my interview with Trey Hensley about Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie Hall was the 500th episode of Bluegrass Jam Along.
To celebrate I thought I'd put together an episode with a few of my highlights and favourite moments from those first 500.
You'll hear from:
- Alison Krauss, on two different car journeys with Tony Rice
- Wyatt Rice, on recording Church Street Blues
- Bryan Sutton, on the journey all musicians go on
- Gabe Witcher, on leaving Punch Brothers
- Brittny Haas, on joining Punch Brothers
- Chris Eldridge, on Bela Fleck's Drive album
- Bryan Sutton (again), on Doc Watson and his influence
- Sarah Jarosz, on her album Blue Heron Suite
- Sara Watkins, on I'm With Her's Wild and Clear and Blue
- and Mike Marshall, on playing with Tony Rice and what he learned from other musicians
This journey has been a lot of fun and I can't wait to get stuck into the interviews I already have lined up for the next set of episodes.
Thanks to all my guests and to all of you who've listened over the past four and a half years.
If you want to hear a bit more about my journey with the podcast, check out this interview I did with Daniel Patrick from the Mandolins and Beer podcast.
Finally, if you know anyone who you think would like this episode, please share it with them!
