Review
Not only is this one of the best bluegrass albums you ll hear in 2012, it s the best bargain you ll find. Thirty-nine songs performed by a total of 139 artists in a two-CD set. And it s for a good cause. Musicians Against Childhood Cancer stages a summer festival each year outside Columbus, Ohio, to raise money for St. Jude Children s Research Hospital in Memphis. --Keith Lawrence Bluegrass Notes
Musicians Against Childhood Cancer stages a summer festival each year outside Columbus, Ohio, to raise money for St. Jude Children s Research Hospital in Memphis. Performances at the festival are recorded, edited and released as CDs to help raise even more money. In 2006, the International Bluegrass Music Association named one of those albums, Celebration of Life, as its album of the year. The newest effort, an album titled Life Goes On, is thirty-nine songs performed by a total of 139 artists. On it is this incredible track by Chris Stapleton, the former lead for the bluegrass band The Steeldrivers. It s a cover of a classic George Jones and its perfection in sound. Do a good deed and buy this one at ruralrhythm.com. --That Nashville Sound

Article first published as music review on Blogcritics - Back in 2006, Skaggs Family Records released "Celebration of Life: Musicians Against Childhood Cancer (MACC)," a two-CD collection with over two hours of live music that drew from the 2000-2005 MACC Festival in Columbus, Ohio. It became one of bluegrass music's top ten releases in 2006 and won the International Bluegrass Music Assn.'s Album of the Year Award. On the Rural Rhythm Records label, "Life Goes On" is the 2012 sequel to the original release and draws material from the 2006-2011 festivals.
Like the first album, Darrel Adkins, Bob Kelley and Jack Campitelli are its producers. After Darrel and his wife Phyllis lost their beautiful 22-year-old daughter, Mandy, to a brain stem tumor on November 25, 2000, the inspiration for MACC was born. While "Life Goes On," the memories and reflections only grow stronger from festival to festival. The charity was formed, and the festival was launched to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tn. where treatment is dispensed for children with terminal illness.
All 139 artists donate their performance for this project, and all are big names in bluegrass music. It takes seven pages of the CD jacket just to lay out the pickers and singers on the 39 songs. Like the 2006 release, this collection offers a few duos, trios and even band configurations we don't often hear play together regularly. One example is the song, "Paul's Ministry," that includes Paul Williams, Doyle Lawson, J.D. Crowe, Carl White, Jason Barie, and Mike Rogers. Another example is "Memories of Mother" with James King, Dudley Connell, Russell Moore, Adam Steffey, Marshall Wilborn, and Ron Stewart.... Read more ›

139 musicians band together for this benefit Bluegrass double-CD set to help kids with Cancer
March 28, 2012
Format:Audio CD
This follow-up to the 2006 benefit album - "Celebration of Life" - features a wide variety of modern bluegrass performers (139 of them if you count each member of the "groups"!) performing 39 songs on this jam packed double-disc set, with each disc clocking in at about 70 minutes. It was recorded live at a benefit concerts for Musicians Against Childhood Cancer from 2006 through 2011 and all the net proceeds are going to St. Jude Medical Center in Memphis. With a cause like this the album gets lots of Amazon "stars" from me.
But, even if this wasn't a charity album, the music here recommends it. I'm familiar with many of the performers (Rhonda Vincent, The Grascels, Doyle Lawson, Tony Rice and The Lonesome River Band to name a few) but discovered a few new to me (Randy Kohrs Band, Bradley Walker and Danny Paisley). SIX different labels came together to allow this comp to happen (Compass, Rounder, Rebel, Rural Rhythm, Mountain Home and Vincent's own Upper Management Music) and it deserves the support of bluegrass fans.
Cancer strikes every age group but for kids who haven't even experienced much of life, it's a real tragedy. Hopefully sales of this CD will help ease the suffering and provide research for a cure.

"LIFE GOES ON: MUSICIANS AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER"
(Rural Rhythm, 2012)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
An amazingly good bluegrass benefit album features a dazzling lineup of top talent from today's truegrass scene, tilting firmly towards the traditional end of the spectrum. Great fiddling, picking and high harmony singing from folks such as Blue Highway, The Grascals, The Johnson Mountain Boys, Doyle Lawson, JD Crowe, Rhonda Vincent, Sierra Hull, Paul Williams, Tony Rice, Bradley Walker and many, many more. A strong mix of secular and gospel material, and all of it as twangy and acoustic as you could want. All the profits from this collection are donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a worthy cause if ever there was one. Recommended! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Country Music)

I just lost my Dad may 31st at 95 years of age, the song Life Goes On was very inspiring for me and I investigated about the album and musicians and had to support such a worthy and significant cause. This is the most splendidly performed songs as a whole that I have ever heard.... Great titles and musicians!
