Bluegrass Thank You for Letting Me Be Myself Again

Not the first time I've seen a banjo player called a "turkey!"I don't know about you, but every yr, Thanksgiving ranks college and higher on my list of favorite holidays. And every year, equally Christmas seems to come earlier and before, it frustrates me more than that Thanksgiving continues to be pushed aside.

Thanksgiving is the but major holiday without a strong sense of commercialism attached to it, which is what makes it so corking. Like few other holidays, it has managed to stay unblemished in the face of a guild that is ever looking to "cash in."

The sole purpose of Thanksgiving is to reflect and appreciate what nosotros have, rather than focus on getting what we don't accept. Spending the day eating corking food with family, and maybe even watching a niggling football, is mighty hard to beat. I really enjoyed spending my day with family yesterday, and I think I'grand yet feeling the effects of a adept ole turkey hangover.

In lodge to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, here are some bluegrass songs to assist yous count your blessings.

> Cheers – Becky Buller
A new vocal from Becky'south solo album,'Tween Earth and Sky, I had this song stuck in my head as our family unit prepared for our Thanksgiving feast. Becky is a triple threat in this manufacture with her singing, songwriting, and fiddle playing. The melody forGive thanks You is addictive, and I'm certain you lot'll discover yourself humming this one in no time, just as I have.

Thank You lot World– Dailey & Vincent
This former Statler Brothers song was included on Dailey & Vincent's Grammy-nominatedDailey & Vincent Sing The Statler Brothers album. Giving the vocal a state-grass treatment makes this old favorite a lot of fun. The extreme vocal talent of the group is in the spotlight, equally to be expected from the three-fourth dimension IBMA Vocal Group of the Yr.

Thank You Lord – Larry Sparks
An old gospel song from the early days of Larry Sparks,Thanks Lord shows why Sparks is considered the Male monarch of Bluegrass Soul. His powerful voice is absolutely captivating, and few singers tin provide a more emotional delivery than this future hall of famer.

Thanks Again – Ricky Skaggs
Although from his country days,Cheers Again'southward acoustic arrangement makes it loved by state and bluegrass fans akin. With this song, Skaggs thanks his parents for everything from flying' his kite and tannin' his lesser. Y'all'll want to hug your parents a little tighter after giving this one a listen.Thanks Again is easily one of my favorites from Ricky'southward state heyday.

Thankful For Each Solar day– Junior Sisk & Rambler's Choice
Clocking in at merely under ii minutes, this a cappella selection from Inferior's honour-winningThe Eye Of A Song album is straightforward gospel vocal of thanksgiving for not just this earthly life, just for an eternal home in sky.

Thanks A Lot– IIIrd Tyme Out
This one-time Ernest Tubb standard popped up on IIIrd Tyme Out's debut album. In addition to Russell Moore'due south killer lead vocals (every bit to be expected), this country classic kicks off with some of Russell'due south nether appreciated guitar playing. Alan Bibey'due south mandolin and Mike Hartgrove's land dabble are sure to lift you lot out of your seat every bit well.

Give thanks God For Kentucky – Bill Monroe
The Father of Bluegrass was ever proud of his Kentucky dwelling house. He tips his famous lid to "The Bluegrass Country" withThank God For Kentucky, sure to cause all Kentuckians to identify their easily over their centre.

Norman Rockwell's 'Freedom From Want'Thank you, Dear God – Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
From Doyle's latest album,Thank  You, Dear God is such a blessing. This song reminds us to exist thankful for the simple beauty all around usa and for God'southward divine providence, no affair how toilsome our life may seem. Doyle and his mandolin have been touching hearts for decades, and this new song follows in the great tradition of Quicksilver gospel music.

Cheers For All The Yesterdays– The Osborne Brothers
The country-grass files of the Osborne Brothers are some of my music of all time. The timeless sound of their powerful vocals backed with a lonesome steel guitar is every bit skillful as information technology gets. While being the saddest song on this list, I think we can all concord that we need to be thankful for the music of the Osborne Brothers.

Thanks– The Isaacs
The Isaacs have been 1 of the most successful bluegrass gospel groups of the past twenty years. The beautiful family unit harmony from Ben, Becky, and Sonya Isaacs can touch fifty-fifty the nigh draconian heart. This early on striking of theirs reminds usa be "thankful for the things that I never thanked you lot for" — a message of which we all need to exist reminded.

Thank God For Mama – The Lonesome River Band
Who doesn't love a skilful Mama vocal? Nosotros are all due to show more appreciation for our mothers. Every bit my mother (Love you, Momma Tam!) says, "He's a skilful boy, simply he certain wasn't built-in that mode!"Give thanks God For A Mama helps reminds us of that. Ronnie Bowman sings his center on this LRB classic.

Thank You Lord– Paul Williams & The Victory Trio
The first song I think hearing from Paul Williams & The Victory Trio isThanks Lord. Not to be confused with the aforementionedCheers Lord from the Larry Sparks catalog, this vocal has served as a swell reminder of all of God's blessings in my life e'er since I was a little male child. I'm thankful that I can remember learning this one with my sister and singing it equally children with Dad in church. (We quickly learned that she was a much meliorate than I, so I have since been demoted to singing this one in the machine.) The words of this unproblematic song come to mind a lot around this time of year, and I wish I pondered on this song's message more oftentimes.

I Just Want To Thank Y'all Lord– The Marshall Family unit
In my opinion, I Just Want To Thank Y'all Lord is one of most powerful songs in the bluegrass gospel canon. While Larry Sparks' version is very close to my center, no list of "thankful" songs would exist complete without the original recording from The Marshall Family. Judy Marshall wrote this classic, and her vox is then beautiful. It'southward nearly impossible to listen to her sing this song and non get goosebumps.

I merely desire to thank you, Lord
For every time y'all heard me pray.
I simply want to thank you, Lord
For always being there.

When I was so down and out
You came forth and fabricated me want to shout.
I just want to thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord.

This song has touched people's hearts for almost forty years, and I don't retrieve information technology'southward going to stop blessing people any time soon.

Hopefully, you lot enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving, eating your fill and spending time in fellowship with friends and family.
