Description

My guest this week is Bob Minner. Bob has been the acoustic guitarist for country icon Tim McGraw for almost 30 years now, and he's also a fantastic bluegrass picker.His latest project, 'From Sulphur Springs To Rising Fawn : The Songs of Norman Blake' is a wonderful tribute to the music of Norman and Nancy Blake, featuring duets with people from the worlds of country and bluegrass, including Tim Stafford, Ron Block, Vince Gill, Chris Eldridge and Dale Ann Bradley.We chat about Bob's love for Norman's music, how he came to meet his hero, the part George Gruhn played in that (as well as his incredible generosity when it came to his collection of vintage guitars), plus much, much more.I could easily have chatted to Bob for another hour! It was such a cool conversation to be part of - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Links to stuff we talked aboutBob's websiteCollings guitars

The podcast for anyone and everyone who plays bluegrass. Every week we feature a different fiddle tune and give you three brand new backing tracks: Backup 4 times through (you play the tune or improvise breaks), Tune 4 times through (you play backup) and ‘Jam Along’ (4 complete run throughs, alternating backup and tune). They work with any instrument - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass, banjo…even if you’re a bluegrass cellist (I have actually met one!). For more info and chord charts, visit https://bluegrassjamalong.com. Hope you find these tracks useful (and thanks for listening!) - Matt
