Any bluegrass fans?

For a lesser known band try Special Consensus. Greg Cahill is a fantastic banjo player and the band, which changes members frequently is always tight. They play alot in the midwest and some areas in the east. Not much out west unfortunately. A really good live band.

Try Steve Earle and the Del Mcoury Band "The Mountain". You will not be dsiappointed!

Try “Should Have Seen It Coming” by Split Lip Rayfield. They have been called the Metallica of bluegrass, they can flat out play. As a plus, they have a good sense of humor. They put a new spin on traditional music.

Doc Watson, The Seldom Seen, Flat & Scruggs, Jerry Douglas.

J. D. Crowe & The New South - "flashback"
A Rounder release "Bluegrass Mountain Style"
Not true bluegrass but nevertheless there's Doc & Merle Watson's "pickin' the blues" (well recorded CD from Analouge Productions)
The collaboration of David Grisman, Vince Gill, Herb Pederson, Jim Buchanan, Emory Gordy, Jr. on "Here Today"
I've liked Vince Gill's voice since he was with Pure Prairie League.
