for any bluegrass fans...

"Hardly Strictly Bluegrass" festival in San Francisco this weekend. Just FYI for bluegrass fans.

Just picked up Ricky Skaggs newer release titled Mosaic. Different twist on bluegrass than anything up to this point for Skaggs. Definitely recommended.

Ricky Skaggs' recordings with Kentucky Thunder are state of the art Bluegrass! Also, his record with Bruce Hornsby is actually quite good, with the most killin', different take on Rick James 'Super Freak' you'll ever hear!!

These guys sound great. Thanks for posting. I love the recent batch of bluegrass bands: Railroad Earth, Infamous Stringdusters, Old Crow Medicine Show, Yonder Mountain String Band, Chris Thile, and others. They are stretching the boundaries of the genre with interesting arrangements using traditional instrumentation. I recently read that Billy Payne, keyboardist for Little Feat, just joined Leftover Salmon which is another bluegrass oriented band. Happy listening.

Mofimadness: Yes, I try to watch that show. Really cool! I actually saw Ricky Scaggs there around a year ago. Some really cool acts. If available, check out the Ben Solee show. After watching it, I ordered all of his stuff on vinyl.
