Sorta, yeah, but it's ultimately a good record, and obscure enough that it will be a battle I will pick. Just play the damn record!!! Hell yeah.

Very good - the album itself is great, and the extra disc has a couple of instrumentals, remixes, live tracks, and covers - pretty much what you'd expect, but it sounds good and the music is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love bluegrass. I like to think of it as the jazz of country music.   I'm most drawn to players like Bill Monroe and Doc Watson who incorporated a big ol' dose of blues feeling into their music.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bit of a risk that bluegrass can be repetitive. It needs that feel to really raise it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 If you dig bluegrass I can't recommend Merlefest high enough. Definitely check it out at some point if you're able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Latter-day "hidebound" bluegrass can get really monotonous. In jazz, there's an expectation of (more or less) innovation. That's not the case with bluegrass. In fact, in bluegrass, adherence to tradition is considered a virtue. In that regard, bluegrass has more in common with the Blues (the genre, not the form), rather than jazz.  36 minutes ago, Dub Modal said: If you dig bluegrass I can't recommend Merlefest high enough. Definitely check it out at some point if you're able. Agreed! I was there last year.   My daughter Elena and me at Merlefest.   Edited May 31 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
