Episode 133: Bluegrass Today Weekly Top 20 Countdown 10/Aug/2025

This week’s Bluegrass Today Weekly Top 20 Countdown is packed with great music — including a brand-new #1 from Ashby Frank, multiple debuts, and a few big returners climbing back toward the top. We’ve also got a listener request from Tasmania featuring the Bray Brothers & Red Cravens, plus new singles from Wyatt Ellis, Alison Brown & Steve Martin, and more.

Along the way, I share stories behind the songs and artists, a snippet of the original version of an Alison Krauss & Union Station track for comparison, and some deep cuts from my own library to round out the hour.

Highlights include:

• Highest debut of the week: Junior Sisk with The Devil’s Train
  
  
• Former #1s making another run
  
  
• Listener request: Blue Eyed Darling (1961)
  
  
• Extended cut: AJ Lee & Blue Summit’s Glendale Train
