Any bluegrass fans?

Sam Hill out of Portland, OR
Loose Ties
Of course all the Tony Rice and Norman Blake you can stand.

One of the longstanding bandmembers of Union Station (which is the Alison Krauss group) is Ron Block. He has recently come out with his own CD which I highly recommend. It features the regular cast with all original material from
Ron Block. Inspirational!!

For some great harmonies, and maybe more modern subject matter, check out Hot Rize. They are excellent!!! My favorite of their CD's is "Untold Stories".

I agree with many of the obove answers........ go back to Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs etc. then check out some of the more modern stuff too Hot Rize, (Tim O'Brien solo as well), New Grass Revival, Tony Rice etc. Be well rounded, blue grass is great music especially if you dig a little (check out some of the old Vanguard or Smithsonian issues of Kentucky mountain music (Clarence Ashley etc.)).

Here's an interesting pick that I just purchased.

Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band-Mountian

A nice mix of one of todays top song writers (Earle) and todays best BlueGrass Bands (McCoury).

BTW, Steve Earle, Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs, NickelCreek, Lucinda Williams, EmmyLou Harris and more were in Cincinnati last weekend for the Tall Stacks Festival. I caught several of the acts "up-close and personal". It was a real treat!!!!

Enjoy,
