My first exposure to Bluegrass was one Sunday night driving into the office (I was on call) and hearing a little girl with a band called Nickel Creek on the Prarie Home Companion radio show. I got on Amazon and purchased the LP that night. They have some fantastic recordings out including an SACD of the self named album. It is utterly fantastic.

I also love Alison Krauss + Union Station and Jerry Douglas.

If you like Bluegrass another genre to listen to is Hawaiian music as popularized several years ago by Iz. I know it sounds odd but lots of steel guitar and ukulele - great stuff.
