I've enjoyed this thread. Here a couple of my bluegrass favorites.

Chuck thanks for posting those.  Gotta love the Osborne Brothers and Seldom Scene is great as well.  Me, I'm still on a Jim Mills kick for some reason.

Yet another one with Steve Martin on the banjo.  I went ahead and bought the album this comes from - The Crow - and I cannot get over how incredible he is throughout the entire CD.  Literally every song is awesome.  The album features heavy hitters like Dolly Parton, Tim O'Brien, Earl Scruggs, Tony Trischka, and Vince Gill.  Highly recommended.

ETA: The name of this track is Clawhammer Medley.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will the Circle Be Unbroken is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Can't talk about bluegrass without mentioning Ralph Stanley. And, just to tie him in here, he did a couple of ads promoting 0 for the election  :banghead: , and to further tie him in here...

Hawkgirl, from what I understand, it's been fairly recent that percussion and electric instruments (save an electric bass or two) have been incorporated into the bluegrass genre, and it's still rare.  They are not shunned as a rule - among my favorites is Andy Hall's rendition of Deep Elem Blues, which features some good drum work - but bluegrass tends to remain "that ol' string music."  With that said, far be it from me to cast aside such fine fiddle playing as featured in that equally fine and classic hit.  Great post.

As for Mr. Stanley, being among the founding members of bluegrass music, and one of the originators of the clawhammer style, I am more than willing to let bygones be bygones.

Here here he is with his distinct vocals alongside the big pipes of one Ms. Patty Loveless.  She lets loose at about 2:45 and his reaction is priceless.

Lovin' all of it.

Just found out a few months ago that Steve Martin is a helluva banjo player.

And a silly one.

He's actually up for two IBMA awards this year, unfortunately in the same category: Best Recorded Event.  Apparently that leads to vote splitting.

One more Christmas song for the day.  I'll admit, I may have a slight crush on Ms. Loveless.   :shucks:

I'm not sure if this is the right venue; I'm sure a mod will help if needed.

I'm a bluegrass fan, but new to the genre (started listening maybe a year and a half ago).  So if you're fan, post some videos of your favorites.  Or links.  Or just tell me name and artist.

I'm gonna get it started with a newcomer, Sierra Hull.  I heard her track-by-track on XM14 of Secrets, and I was hooked.  Then I found this (she and Carl Bergrren playing Roanoke:



Bluegrass is meant to be played, not listened to.  :p  Grab yourself a guitar or a mando and start banging it out!

That Sierra Hull is quite a flatpicker. I'll have to keep a look out on her.

Here is a video of a dear old friend of mine. We used to go to the Strawberry Bluegrass Festival together before she became famous, trying to hawk her songs to established musicians. She sold her first song (Orphan Girl) to Tim O'Brien at one of those campground jams.

Thanks for all the great music; Seldom Scene is my favorite. I was going to bed 3 hours ago but what the heck.

Crockspot where ya been??   :cheersmate:  Your friend has a beautiful voice, glad to hear it.  Sierra Hull's debut album, Secrets, is a solid collection of bluegrass.  As good as she is on the guitar, the mandolin is her prime instrument and she can really get going.  You're spot on that bluegrass is meant to be played.  I've got an itch to try my hand at the banjo if I can find a good used one.

Side note, why is it that bluegrass festivals are attracting more and more dirty hippies?  Is it just my neck of the woods?  As an early Christmas present I got a documentary that covers a 1972 (IIRC) multiple day bluegrass festival, complete with a teenaged Ricky Skaggs coming into his own on the mandolin.  Nearly all the people in attendance are decent, civilized, polite, respectable folks.  Nowadays, if I'm at a festival, it seems I can't take 3 steps without tripping over some drooling half-a-moron laying in his or her own vomit.  What gives?

You can blame it on the death of Jerry Garcia. No more Dead shows to keep them occupied.

Garbage.  I wish they had stuck with Dave Matthews instead of screwing up the enjoyment of good music.  At any rate:

Cumberland Gap by Snuffy Jenkins.  One of my favorite banjo tunes.

I got Songs My Dad Loved by Ricky Skaggs for Christmas.  Heckuva album.  Mr. Skaggs performs the entire thing solo, laying instrumentals and vocals over one another for what ends up a really great album.

http://skaggsfamilyrecords.com/index.htm?inc=80&prod_id=3933&sid=11702

I had no idea he was so gifted on, well, nearly every stringed instrument there is.  He shows off his skill on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and banjo equally.
