It's also a "jazz" record.

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.

It's funny how this thread went from rock to bluegrass, though the recordings cited are terrific, especially the Tony Rice Unit.

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.

Same. There is a bit of a risk that bluegrass can be repetitive. It needs that feel to really raise it up.

If you dig bluegrass I can't recommend Merlefest high enough. Definitely check it out at some point if you're able.

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.

Agreed!  I was there last year.    

My daughter Elena and me at Merlefest.

This thread seems to really be for any non-jazz music that people are listening to, despite the thread title...
