Well ive always loved bluegrass. Ive seen a few small time (but very good) bands play at our church and parks and just love it.

But no one in my family really listens to it and i dont know of many bands that play bluegrass. An im wanting to put some bluegrass on my ipod to listen too.

So! If yall could post some of your favorite bluegrass fans and maybe videos of them so i could find some ones i like, that'd be great!

Thanks

I'm learning how to play the banjo now, I've always loved bluegrass, you'd never know it because I also love AC/DC, and Ozzie Osburne...Hmmm Thunderstruck on the banjo... ;D

Check out Trampled By Turtles. Good Stuff!!

Cherryholmes, Blue Highway, Doyle Lawson, Larry Cordle, Chris Thile

I play upright bass and acoustic bass guitar, as well as electric bass and harmonica in my classic rock/blues/swing band.

A very good bluegrass album is "Will the Circle be Unbroken "by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and a cast of famous bluegrass musicians . More great albums; Tom T. Halls "Magnificient Music Machine" ;D; "Old and in the Way" featuring the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia on banjo 8-). I also like Allison Kraus and Claire Lynch .I played in a bluegrass band in Pittsburgh in the late '70's .     Happy fishing.

I don't know much about real bluegrass but I like Old Crow Medicine Show.

Goosecreek. They played at a vineyard around here a few days ago. Charles Stanley. Local dude, hes like the father of bluegrass in this area or something. A lot of his stuff was on "Oh brother where art though"

Ralph Stanley?

Yes, Ralph Stanley.  He lives about 20 minutes from here.  See him in the grocery store about two or three times a year.

I'll second old crow medicine show.  Also here's a short list of my favorites.

Tony Trishka (Check out the "Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular" album)

Yonder Mountain String Band

David Grisman

Bela Flek

Definitely get yourself some Earl Scruggs if you don't have some already.

Del McCoury

Those are all my "go to's" as far as bluegrass goes.  If you want me to upload some music for you have plenty of live stuff that is legal to freely exchange I can send you.  Also check out archive.org and search Bela Flek or Yonder Mountain.  Tons of live concerts from both of them are on there to stream or download.

I figured that's who he meant. Ralph Stanley is a legend in bluegrass, is he not?

Aye

Gibson Brothers

my mistake. Charles Stanley is the church guy on channel 5 around here :

no problem. I knew what you meant.

I can listen to the title track to Brother Where Art Thou, over and over.

I don't think there is a title track to that movie but if you mean "Man of Constant Sorrow" then I agree. The whole soundtrack is pretty darn good.

Gotta love a bluegrass concert outside in the summer, lounging on the grass... There's a lot of great bands out there, some well known others not so much. There's also different types/genres of bluegrass, the old timey traditional and some of the newer stuff (acid grass is a name that comes to mind) and every mix in between. A couple of the classics you need to have are Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley and Flatt and Scruggs. Ricky Skaggs and Alison Krauss and Union Station are two very popular bands/artists. Old Crow Medicine Show and The Seldom Scene are two others that come to mind. I could keep listing them, there are a lot out there. Check out some of their music and pick your favorites. In my opinion there isn't bad bluegrass out there

Some of may favorites are

Jim & Jesse

Mac Wiseman

Don Reno

Ronnie Reno and the Reno Tradition

Osborne Brothers

Flatt & Scruggs

Mr. Monroe

And,

Nashville Grass

I don't know much about what constitutes good Bluegrass music, but I love the "Cold Mountain" soundtrack.
