Any bluegrass fans?

Saw Bryon Sutton last summer when he was touring with Chris Thile. Awesome player, wonder why Chris changed up his current touring group?

Many, many good websites for bluegrass but one that I have persnally enjoyed is acousticdisc.com.

A few that stand out are:

THAT HIGH LONESOME SOUND
Old and In the Way

This is a very cool and young all star band that includes Peter Rowan, David Grisman and Jerry Garcia. Despite these musical giants, the musician who stands out and I begin my worshipping, is Vassar Clements. I get the sence that the other band members know that Vassar is in the zone, like a basketball player with the hot hand, and they set him up and get out of his way. Just a great band with phenominal musicians who don't let their egos get in the way.

Everything with Grisman and Garcia is excellent.

"Doc and Dawg" Doc Watson and David Grisman... need I say more?

Not exactly all bluegrass, but two more suggestiosns who like music of this ilk are: The whole tone poem series and "Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live."

Lots more good stuff at this site.

I agree with Scramman on Railroad Earth. I like the two disc live set "Elko." I also recently picked up "The Steeldrivers" debut after reading about it in all places-The Wall Street Journal. They are all session players from Nashville with impeccable musicianship. The lead singer's whiskey soaked gravelly voice is not to be missed. The Steeldrivers are the most exciting band to hit the bluegrass scene in quite a while.

If you don't already have the self-titled "Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby," you need to at least listen to it. I would also very highly recommend Tim O'Brien's "Cornbread Nation" and anything by Nickel Creek. Their album "Resons Why: The Very Best Of" is a great start to the new sound of bluegrass.

If you're anywhere near Cincinnati, there is a super band called the Bluegrass Allstars that play at The Comet in the northside of Cincinnati.
