Here's to any bluegrass fans out there. name some notable bands that have shaped your appreciation to this wonderfully uplifting genre.
I dunno any bluegrass, but I'm interested in getting to know some killer bands, so I want to see some suggestions. All I know is that John Butler was influenced by the genre in his playing.
alright i'm just going to run down my itunes and grab some random ones that I think you should get to know; bela fleck and the flecktones - jazzy but with hints of bluegrass ;banjo; Cornmeal - newgrass or jamgrass Earl Scruggs - traditional bluegrass Goose Creek Symphony - traces of bluegrass The Gourds - jamgrass Hackensaw Boys - jamgrass Jerry Garcia and David Grisman / Old and in the Way - Garciagrass haha Hot Buttered Rum String Band - jamgrass Leftover Salmon - newgrass jamgrass New Grass Revival New Monsoon Old Crow Medicine Show Railroad Earth Ricky Scaggs String Cheese Incident - small traces of bluegrass more of a psychedelic jam feel though. Tea Leaf Green (Coffee Bean Brown) Trampled By Turtles Yonder Mountain String Band Peter Rowan
Listened to some on youtube.. The Flecktones, damn good from what I've heard. David Grisman.. and Jerry Garcia. Awsomeness. "The thrill is gone!" Not that bluegrass-y tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-rUKp4lsos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U67PVvO7WI&feature=related Goose Creek, good too. Quite country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0nAkLPA9o The Gourds. Really good. I liked Burn The Honeysuckle, and Gin & Juice (cover of Snoop) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCAM3C3dpIA&feature=related lmao too good. Okay enough for now, I'm stick on the Gourds, damn good music.
