Featuring songs penned by Martin, The Long Awaited Album is the second album that the 72-year old, comedian, actor, clawhammer-style banjoist, and multiple Grammy Award-winner has recorded with the Grammy-winning North Carolina-based bluegrass group. Their first album together, Rare Bird Alert, was recorded in 2010. Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers earned the bluegrass music industry’s top honor in 2011 when they were named Entertainer of the Year during the 22nd Annual International Bluegrass Music Awards.

“Wildflowers” is one of a dozen tracks on Bidin’ My Time, the first studio album in more than a decade by country-rock pioneer Hillman – a founding member of the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Manasas, and the Desert Rose Band. It was produced by the late Tom Petty, who also is featured on the album, along with former members of the Byrds and Desert Rose Band.

“For a relative late-bloomer to the folk scene, it feels really sweet to be recognized, and wonderful to share space with such amazing musicians,” says Soucy. “It inspires me to keep growing as a writer and a performer, and to keep engaging with the generous musicians and music-lovers in this community.”

As the songwriting competition winner, Soucy (joined by Stephen Murphy, who produced her CD) performed a short set on the festival’s main stage during the afternoon. She received a $150 cash prize and is guaranteed a performance slot in next year’s festival produced by the nonprofit organization CT Folk.

Soucy was also among the 24 artists/acts who performed in the Grassy Hill/ Falcon Ridge Emerging Artists Showcase during the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in August and was part of a NERFA Showcase co-presented by the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance, the Folk Music Society of Huntington (NY) and Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA earlier this year.

More information on Amy Soucy may be found on her website, www.amysoucymusic.com.

Editor’s Note: It was an honor and pleasure to serve as one of the five judges for this songwriting competition along with Rich Patchkofsky, Bill Revill, Kathy Sands-Boehmer and Steve Winters.

Boulder, Colorado-based singer-songwriter Rebecca Folsom’s “Better Times” was February’s most-played song, edging out Burning Bridget Cleary’s “Madam I’m a Darling,” January’s top song.

“This was my last show and now I am retired and Detours has ended,” Whitman wrote in a short note accompanying the playlist that he posted to the Folk DJ Listserv, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in all folk-based music on the radio.

The Miami Valley native, who joined WYSO in the early 1980s as the host of a program called Stories We Could Tell, has long been involved in folk music as a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter performing solo and with various groups. He trained in radio while serving in the U.S. Army during the 1960s, and years later was encouraged by another folk DJ at WYSO to become a program host on the station.

Following Stories We Could Tell, Whitman hosted Acoustic Alchemy and Alchemy and was the co-host of Midnight Ramble with his friend Ramblin’ Ray for more than a decade before launching Detours. For two hours each Saturday afternoon, Whitman presented an eclectic mix of Celtic, folk, singer-songwriter, old-time and early country music.

“If you’ve grown tired of marching to everyone else’s drummer, tired of others telling you what is good or bad, tired of following fads, and you feel like you’re wandering through a sterile desolate landscape of music that seems to lack purpose, relevance or any aspect of meaning for you, then you’re ready to take a journey with me — a detour,” he wrote in the program description for the station’s website. “We can avoid the fast lane and journey down back roads to places less known and less traveled. Along the way you might find yourself laughing, crying, singing along; it can be a time out, a break. Who knows what wonders, what adventures you might find along the way.”

In a fitting ending to Detours, Whitman closed out the Sept. 27 show with “Down the Road” by Bill Staines. “It was and always has been an honor to be at WYSO for these last 30 plus years, but now I’m looking forward to taking some time off and then going to look for new adventures,” he wrote in his post to FOLKDJ-L.

AcousticMusicScene.com wishes Norm all the best wherever the road leads him.
