Song Review: My Bluegrass Heart with Jerry Douglas - “Boulderdash” (Live, 2022)
Packing a 15-string punch with a triple-banjo attack and a guesting Dobro master Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart wasn’t messing around when it rolled out “Boulderdash” at the 2022 Grey Fox Bluegrass festival.
An instrumental played with wildfire intensity, it features solos from fiddler Michael Cleveland, Douglas, Fleck, guitarist Bryan Sutton and others all packed into six minutes of lighting-fast sawing, sliding and picking.
And while such sonic shenanigans might be too much of a good thing in lesser hands, Fleck’s Bluegrass Heart pumps just enough oxygen to keep up the pace without risking palpitations. No balderdash in this “Boulderdash,” which was just released on video.

Day Eight Hundred and Twenty Two
The one thing I know that when I, I turn out the light
Visions of you dear, dance in the night, I've been
Put down pushed around, apprehended and led downtown and I
Can't help it if I'm out of sight, 'cause I'm restless tonight

Albumtober Day 7: Alison Krauss + Union Station Live
(Prompt: An album from your childhood)
Alison Krauss + Union Station Live (2002)
When I was a kid, my mother would play a lot of CDs on road trips to prevent me from getting too bored. One that got a lot of play was this phenomenal 2-disc live album, featuring bluegrass standards, love songs, and even a few originals. Alison's voice is angelic and her fiddle playing is excellent, and the rest of the band (Jerry Douglas on dobro, Dan Tyminski on guitar and mandolin, and Ron Block on the banjo) are equally impressive. Anyone who's seen O Brother, Where Art Thou will likely recognize the band's renditions of "Man of Constant Sorrow" and "Down to the River to Pray", and both are performed here. I knew those songs, as well as the others on this album, long before I saw the movie.
Favorite tracks: "The Lucky One", "Down to the River to Pray", "The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn".

On The Jukebox: Shania Twain - "Come On Over (Super Deluxe Diamond Edition)"
Featuring guest appearances from Bryan White (on "From This Moment On"), Chris Martin (on "You're Still The One [Live From Las Vegas 2022]"), Alison Krauss and Union Station (on "From This Moment On [Live]" and "I'm Holdin' Onto Love (To Save My Life) [Live]"), Elton John (on "You're Still The One [Live From Miami 1999]") and Backstreet Boys (on "From This Moment On [Live From Miami 1999]") as well as remixes from Cheat Codes, Synchrologic, Frank Walker and Tempo.
This is the biggest deluxe edition re-release of this album from Shania. It includes the full US version of the album (remastered), the full International version of the album (remastered, different track order and arrangements that lean more to pop than country) and a third disc of bonus material.
Some notes:
The International version of the album is interesting for the purposes of comparing how it sounds compared to the US version. I chose the Diamond edition to listen to because I always tend to go for the biggest available deluxe edition but I wouldn't call the International version of the album a necessity.
The Bryan White situation is...weird to me. White was Shania's duet partner on the US version of "From This Moment On"...and then, for reasons I've never felt made a ton of sense, there seemed a concerted effort to erase all trace of the version of the song with him on it. The video is just Shania, the International version of the song has his vocals stripped completely. The song *is* a duet (the Backstreet Boys/Shania version uses the arrangement for the Shania/Bryan version) so the whole attempt to act like the version with Bryan White never existed always felt kind of ugly to me.
Bonus materials: the standard deluxe edition of this album has a bonus track that this edition does not have...and one that I don't understand why it was on the standard deluxe edition to begin with. That track was a live version of "Party Of Two" with Nick Jonas. Which is fine in and of itself...but a baffling inclusion since "Party For Two" is not on "Come On Over" (it was a new track added to her Greatest Hits compilation). Thankfully, it's not on the Diamond edition.
Final note: this album is certified sales wise at 2X Diamond. For those out there who don't know what that means, it means certified sales of *20 million* copies. There's no way of overstating just how *huge* Shania was at the peak of her popularity.

“Jesus, Hold My Hand” performed by Alison Krauss & Union Station
__________________________
Jesus, Hold My Hand
Songwriter: Albert Brumley
As I travel through this pilgrim land
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely through the sinking sand
It is the Christ at Calvary
This would be my prayer, Lord, each day
You help me do the best I can
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Jesus, hold my hand
For I need Thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land
Protect me by Thy power
Hear my feeble plea
O Lord, look down on me
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet You there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Let me travel in the light divine
That I may see the blessed way
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine
And sing Redemption's Song some day
I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever firmly take a stand
As I onward go and daily meet the foe
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
Jesus, hold my hand
'Cause I need Thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land
Protect me by Thy power
Hear my feeble plea
And O Lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet You there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet You there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand

Song Review: Béla Fleck - “Unidentified Piece for Banjo”
The Library of Congress found it and Béla Fleck got the first crack at George Gershwin’s “Unidentified Piece for Banjo.”
A solo piece, it finds Fleck demonstrating his peerless playing style - three distinct parts are audible from this one guy - while allow the composer’s personality and environment to shine through the decades-old music.
It’s out to announce Fleck’s Rhapsody in Blue, which arrives Feb. 12, 2024, the 100th anniversary of the title piece premiering in New York City. It contains three versions, “Rhapsody in Blue(grass),” recorded with My Bluegrass Heart; “Rhapsody in Blue(s)” with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas and Victor Wooten; and a traditional performance with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Fleck handling the piano parts on banjo.
“I had never heard anything like it – it was love at first listen,” Fleck says of his first exposure to “Rhapsody.”
Fans might feel the same way about “Unidentified Piece for Banjo,” which rounds out the LP alongside “Rialto Ripples.”

⛓️ IF YOU WERE A GANGSTER, WHAT WOULD YOUR GANG ROLE BE? ⛓️
If you were GANGSTA, what kind of GANGSTA would you be? This PICK-A-PILE is for you
Pile 1
Pile 2
Pile 3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pile 1: The Messenjah
The Messenger - 8 of Wands
- highly observant and aware of surroundings
-knows the intell about everything and everyone
-if a message needs to be delivered, you are the one to count on.
-can go anywhere undetected and unnoticed. Often used as a Trojan horse going undercover into enemy territory to gain information to be used for leverage
-calculated risk taker but highly stealthy and skilled
-courageous and usually on the front lines for war
-brotherhood/sisterhood mentality
-loyal gang member and team player
You are the Messenjah! The messenger is the most trusted member of the gang. Because of your inviting nature, it is easy for people to open up to you and reveal their darkest secrets and emotions. You are like an enormous cauldron of space. You've learned how to expand the space within that cauldron and share it with others so they can express themselves fully and freely. You are highly trusted because people trust your judgement of character. If you stop trusting someone, the whole gang stops trusting them. If you are willing to give someone a shot, the whole gang would be on board with your instinct. You move in silence which makes you the best investigator. You carry yourself in a way that commands the utmost respect even from those in a publicized "alpha" position.
You are the gang member that shows up unexpectedly but always at the right time, in the right place with the right things to say. In a way, you are a part of the gang yet you wonder alone often. People question your loyalty because of your independent nature, but those who really know you, knows wassup. You can't be tied down because you operate best when you feel free. You have a great poker face so you would be the gang member trusted to handle the debates and negotiations. You are able to create a win win situation for everyone because you are usually the only one who sees the perspectives from every angle. You are the gang member that cannot be controlled but the gang member that they cannot lose either. You may be described as someone of little words but with many things to say. You operate as an individual but by doing so, you make the gang stronger.
You are the gang member that no longer uses a sword to fight. You use your intellect, and outsmart your opponents. You are always ten steps ahead of your enemies. Untouchable. Unstoppable. Undeniably great.
Channelled Song: "When You Say Nothing At All" - Allison Krauss
Pile 2: The God Father
The God Father - 7 of Pentacles
- final decision maker
- leader of the pack
- head honcho
- the "brain" of the gang
- the intimidation factor of the gang
- "when I move, you move....just like that"
- the wolf of wall street
You are The God Father of the gang. You naturally have a very regal and leadership like aura to you. The way you walk, talk, daydream, etc. Everything about you screams, "Follow me". You might naturally be very popular and well liked amongst your community. You tend to find yourself in leadership positions by accident because you were placed there by those who admire you. You are a very loyal person so in turn, people naturally become very loyal to you. People want to always be on your good side. When you win big, you make sure everyone connected to you wins big too. People feel safe and secure around you. Many people want to be connected to you to feel that same safety and security that you provide. You never seek attention and that's why you naturally get it. You never seek recognition but you are always being bombarded by fans who are inspired by your life.
You may be slow to react to things which makes you very intimidating. You move slow. You act slow. You take your time in everything you do. You are so slow to react and calculated in all that you do that it becomes very intimidating to those in power. They cannot pinpoint your next move. They cannot read you or your body language. Very emotionally controlled and stable. I'm getting very much Batman vibes from this pile. Very stoic, immovable, emotionless but has the biggest heart and is a mastermind genius. Not many people are able to break down to your walls or your boundaries. You know many people, but not many people truly know you and you like to keep things that way. If people knew the real you, I don't think they would be able to handle the weight of that responsibility. You are okay with wearing a mask and it never comes down for hardly anybody. But this is what keeps you great and this is what keeps you unstoppable.
Channelled Song: Unstoppable by Sia
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pile 3: The Grim Reaper
The Grim Reaper - The Sun
- the demon slayer
- walk the talk and gets shit done
- the hulk of the gang
- BEAST MODE ON STERIOIDS
- titanium
- warriorlike - undefeated
- fearless
-blunt
-outspoken & out of pocket 🤣
Whoever chose this pile, gahhh dayummm dawg, yall is brutal AF 🤣🤣 not just with your fists but with your words!!!!
"Didnt they tell you that I was a SAVAGE." -Rihanna
You can turn someone's whole world upside down with your words. You can make a happy family situation go completely sour. You are the devil's child. The Bringer of Karma. A Man Eater. Yoooooo, y'all's fucking energy is explosive right now, imma need y'all to tone it down a notch 🤣 ZAYUMMMM.
You are the gang member that is first to the scene handling business straight on. Y'all really don't bullshit or beat around the bush. It is straight to the point with you folks. You may be known as someone to be feared. You are the type to hunt someone down if they cross you and you do not stop until you have found them 🤣🤣 bitchhhhh, what the fuqqqqq LOL y'all ain't afraid of nobody and y'all never back down. #TeamNeverFold, PERIODT. Might be a lil on the blood thirsty side. You might be a little aggressive and hot tempered but it's fine. The gang loves that about you. You are a very necessary part of the gang. You may be the one everyone loves having on their team until they are on the receiving end of your wrath. You are very passionate and feel very deeply. You are driven by a cause and the greater good of mankind. You are the BEAST of the gang. It's giving very much Naruto vibes. Innocent and naive but is nurturing his Nine tailed fox beast from within. If shits about to go down, you are ten toes down and all in. A true ride or die member of the gang. The one that will be most remembered of the gang even after you've passed because you never broke character. A walking contradiction. An angel but a demon.
Channelled Song: Sweet but Psycho by Ava Max
