Somebody send me a list of playlists for songs in the Hal Leonard Real Bluegrass book. I listened to one, and really enjoyed it. Anyone else have playlists to share?

Hi Joe,

I hope and trust this year is treating you well. We spoke last year about Rise Up Singing and Rise Again playlists. I’ve compiled a new set of playlists for the Hal Leonard “The Real Bluegrass Book” with arrangements by Matt Finner. Like the others, I’ve chosen 1-3 good examples of all the songs in the book, with emphasis on finding original artist, well-known versions, exceptional playing etc. Good just for listening, or music study, or for a really good overview of bluegrass music over the past 80 or so years.

Here’s a copy of all the links to the individual playlists:

I use Spotify playlists more as a "tag" rather than as artfully constructed entities for playing in sequence.
So they're best played on 'shuffle'.
fwiw here are a few

folk - accompanied voice 

folk - instrumental 

folk - a cappella 

folk - shanty\sea 

and non-folk
for putting myself to sleep "Dreamy" 

and to wake myself up"Might make you smile"

Favourites are in a dozen lists titled "cocktails" but they're not particularly folky.

Christmas Instrumental, Folky
https://open.spotify.com/user/headey/playlist/0K70zE9NCL1Wj7DXepErQp?si=1bZ2WYAXT_CxMgt5i21laA
Quite a lot of tracks I wouldn't have associated with Christmas but they must be in somebody's culture.
Intended as background music, not intense listening!
