Dub Modal Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 2 hours ago, HutchFan said: 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. Nice! I've been a couple of times even though I don't consider myself a bluegrass fan. It's a nice festival they've got there. The down home feeling they cultivate due to the entire community being involved is pretty unique. Quote

Ken Dryden Posted May 31 Report Posted May 31 I have an extensive bluegrass collection, including a lot of Tony Rice. I got to see him twice with Norman Blake, though it was after his voice turned gravelly. He was a fine singer and he died too young. How many bluegrass instrumentalists record something like "Nardis," very few, I would bet. Quote

Well - OK then! 👍 Quote

Rabshakeh Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 Randall Stephens – The Music I Love Is Gospel More a gritty instrumental funk record than a gospel one, although there's a bit of the latter on the vocal tracks. Quote

soulpope Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Margie Joseph "Hear The Words, FeelThe Feeling" (Cotillion) 1976 .... another proof, that (aside Aretha Franklin) Atlantic couldn`t handle female soul singers properly .... sometimes it just helped switching to a subsidiary label (aka escape the clutches of Arif Mardin) .... Lamont Dozier was a capable producer and the lady had a good voice .... Quote
