Sam Bush Interview – Circles Around Me
While at IBMA last week, we were able to get a few minutes to sit down with Sugar Hill recording artist Sam Bush.
Our good friend Doug McKelway conducted the interview. He and Sam spoke at length about Sam’s new CD, Circles Around Me. The CD is due to be released on October 20, on Sugar Hill Records. They also spoke about the digital age of music, recording a duet with Del McCoury, Sam’s place in the mandolin world, and more.
Thanks to Donica and all the folks at Sugar Hill Records for making this interview possible.
The interview lasted close to 15 minutes, and we’re bringing it to you in full. Enjoy…

I first met Sam in the late 70’s and quickly became a newgrass revival addict. I had the opportunity to see him again many times in the States and in France (as the leader of The Nash Ramblers in 1988 with Emmylou at the Olympia in Paris) To me, this guy is not only one of the best mandolin player in the world but is also a fantastic human being. I love every music he plays ( saw him after KFC Festival in Louisville in 1981 playing the electric guitar in a blues jam-band in a tavern) might be reggae, old-time, rock, jazz, newgrass, irish, folk, bluegrass, etc, etc … I am definitely Sam Bush number One French Fan !!! I am looking forward to get the new CD, especially after I saw the interview. Bravo !
Only one bad point : he doesn’t come enough to Europe (probably due to his great “love affair with planes”

[...] A great interview with Sam Bush about his new CD “Circles Around Me” which will be released on Sugar Hill Records on October 20, 2009. I already pre-ordered the autographed copy (because I love Mr. Bush and his music), so believe me, a review of my own will be forthcoming. Check out the interview. [The Bluegrass Blog] [...]
