Does Bluegrass Belong On Southern Gospel Radio?

Today on New Music Monday I'm featuring a CD from The Primitive Quartet entitled, "Thank You For The Roses". The Primitive Quartet has been traveling and performing together for many years. They have a huge following coast to coast. Yet I have very seldom aired their music on The Morning Show. Why?

Why? Because they are predominantly a bluegrass group. It was my belief that they didn't quite fit the format. Lately I've come to reevaluate my position on this.

One of the reasons I have begun to think that maybe, perhaps, there is room for groups like the Primitive Quartet on the Morning Show is the way that you have embraced Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. Doyle's latest song "Help Is On The Way" is a seven time winner on King of the Mountain. It's still going strong after knocking off the Kingsmen last week. It's a very good song by one of the legends in Bluegrass music.

The Isaacs have always had a home on the He's Alive Radio Network - they are Bluegrass. Perhaps they made the grade because of their connection with the Bill Gaither Homecoming Tour and Series? I don't know. I do know that I really enjoy their music.
