Bluegrass appreciation thread

[Marktwang]

I love bluegrass music. Not a lot of people out there know much about this great form of music. So feel free to share videos/ music / stories or whatever in this thread. Its only appropriate we start with Bill Monroe.....

I love bluegrass but can't stand country music except for the old stuff.

If you have Time-Warner, there is a channel called Blue Highways that has some old school bluegrass.

i will have to check that out. i have xm radio, but its full of a bunch of 'nash' grass stuff. as in its a little tame for my taste. there is so much good bluegrass out there that does not get played on satellite radio. they refuse to play a lot of these up and coming artist because they break the boundaries that have been set by the bluegrass fore fathers. not that i don't like that stuff, but in my opinion they are better aft focusing on the FUTURE of bluegrass as well as the history. bands like the infamous stringdusters, greenski, yonder ect. ect. are the ones that are keeping this genre alive with the young generation.

Also the steeldrivers need to be recognized, even though the lead singer has left hem in shambles.

Come to North Carolina. Visit Brevard...Steve Martin has a condo there from the folks in the "know." He plays with Steep Canyon Rangers and people fucking love it around there.

Here's a site for some real deal Bluegrass in North Carolina... I got some blueberry/haze and some other strains growing that will be done in August. If you wanna meet up and smoke out, listen to some live music, I'm with ya bro.

Good stuff. I have been meaning to get down to Merlefest for the longest time. Thats next on my list of places to go. My main problem being I make annual trips to Telluride, Delfest and Harvest Fest (Arkansas) already. But sooner or later I want to make it down there. Much love brotha.

Here are the Dreadful Snakes. A 'Super' Group of sorts from the early 80's featuring Bela Fleck. They only put out one album and never did a tour. Nice stuff on this album. Im generally not one to pirate music, but to my understanding this album is out of print (not sure if you can get it on iTunes) if theres any interest PM me and I will see what we can do to get ya a copy. Mine came from a used record I found while in Colorado a few years back. Cheer's!!
