re: if anyones on here

Yes, I sure remember that one. But there is much better bluegrass out there. Listen to some of the following artist, I sware you will be amazed.

 

Artist:

Yonder Mountain String Band (new age bluegrass)

Bill Monroe (One of the Founders of Bluegrass)

Earl Scruggs (Famous 3-finger style banjo player)

New Grass Revival (One of the first new age bluegrass bands, honestly one of the greatest bands that came out of bluegrass)

Doc Watson (one of the most famoust flat pickers still living today, and he's blind, not like it has anything to do with it).

Old & In The Way (Great band member, Jerry Garcia, David "Dog" Grisman, Perter Rowan, Vassar Clements, and John Kahn, this band was such a inspiration to the public, they were only around for a few years and didn't get popluar until they broke up)

Hot Buttered Rum (Great also new age bluegrass, they try to stick to there own original sounds but also the traditional bluegrass)

Pete Seeger (Fantastic folk musician, this guy is amazing. Get some of his music, you'll never go wrong with Pete)

Allison Krauss (What can I say, she won 21 Grammy's, thats all you need to know, just came out with a cd with Robert Plant from Led Zep. really good check it out)

 

There are many many many other's but I think everyone should check at least one of theses artist out, expand the music of your life. Bluegrass is one true American made music.

re: if anyones on here

all of what you listed is great.

i especially listen to the "raising sand" cd with robert plant and allision krauss.

i suppose i've drifted into what i traditionally was raised in ,but i do attend folk/bluegrass sessions at a local guitar shop downtown.

Two thumbs up for Younder Mountain String Band!!!! Saw them a few years ago at the Big Wu Family Reunion, had no idea who they were, but by the end of their second song I was hooked!!!

Thanks for that list! Doc Watson and Pete Seeger were two of the first artists I downloaded here, and you gave me some other great reminders. Of course, at the moment I'm listening to the "Folktronic" album by Momus, so my entire vision of folk music is currently been spun into funky cotton candy wordplay on an electric loom. Wheeee!!!

Anyone who likes the New Grass Revival is alright. You are right.
