I love bluegrass. We have been listening to band called cornmeal as of late. And they are awesome. its a shame how some people call it country...well old country is a very different thing than new country. I guess.
went and saw them again last night. cornmeal in the kitchen. kick ass bluegrass, w/ drums....almost a psychedelic style of bluegrass. great energy, always a fun time. wish you and lexi coulda been there!
They are showing Summer Camp live all weekend. Cornmeal is on right now! Check em out! http://www.iclips.net/summercamp_stream.php Lots of good bands this weekend if you have nothing else to do!!
Not trying to get off of the bluegrass subject, but I\'m anxious to hear what Blind Melon is sounding like these days.

one of the saddest and most cathartic shows i\'ve ever witnessed was the first official LoS show after mark\'s passing. they did a couple late night jam sessions the friday of and saturday just after, the next sunday they played at jp\'s in valdosta, ga with rev mosier sitting in on the banjo. there was a lot of energy being screamed during river\'s rising but by zombie jamboree vince was finally smiling again.

if you haven\'t heard any leftover salmon, find anything from 97-99. you will be dumbfounded! i still believe them to have been THE best band of 1997, but i don\'t expect most other folks to agree. they\'re all wrong, but its ok, i know better. i\'m assuming, however, that everyone has heard salmon and loves them as much as they should.
Quote
I agree 100%. I saw them multiple times in 1997 and was blown away every time. They were one of my favorite bands until the passing of Ban-Jovi... have not seen them in a while, but am glad they have reunited and hope they come somewhere close to me soon.

But I wish I could find some live shows by Furnace Mountain - that vid is FUN!
i have spoken to fiddly dave about the serious lack of live shows and they\'re on the fence about it. they like the idea, but they\'d rather get paid. can\'t blame \'em considering they still teach lessons to help augment their rent checks. but i\'d still love to get some of their stuff on disc!
forge mountain diggers are great! they played at watermelon park (with furnace mountain) this year. also see if you can find the carolina chocolate drops\' album. they are youngish players who studied from a true old timer. however they also take some modern tunes and old timey them up! some really great stuff from them!
also check out Tim OBrien and Darrell Scott. they play together a lot and really comlpiment each other well. personally, scott is one of my all time favorite players. his style is exactly what i\'d like to be able to play acoustic like, but alas... his shows are around, but tough to find. obrien\'s shows are somewhat easier. but one of the darrell scott shows i\'ve seen (at ashland coffee & tea co in 05 or 06) ranks among the best shows i\'ve ever seen. great pacing, phenomenal playing, intimate setting... too bad there were no tapers there that day!

I walked by this spot in the LES the other night and CHris Thile was picking with a guitar player. I always thought Nickelcreek was super cheese but he\'s actually a real good player when he performs real music. Im more into old timey **** these days, guys like the skillet lickers from the 20s who play fiddle tunes. There are also these guys in NYC now from SW Virginia called the Forge Mountain Diggers who are fantastic old timey sounding. Reno and Smiley play some DIRTY dirty bluegrass and of course flatt and scruggs. and ahh the legendary doc watson...

Alison Krauss & Nickel Creek are two of my current favorites, though they\'re a bit more modern than old-school. It\'s sad to say, but bluegrass has become a lost art form around here. It\'s a rare occasion to hear any good live bluegrass around here, unfortunately. :(

i\'m so jealous. they f\'in rock!!!
if anyone has never listened to doc watson, do it! this guy is blind and one of the fastest flatpickers ever. there is a cd of doc watson with bill monroe that is insane. check it out
tony rice, as mentioned before, is also really grimey. i haven\'t listened to him in a while, but those albums with grisman, garcia, and rice are to die for. genuinely original music and a real treat to the ears. i\'m getting all pumped up now. wahoo!

Change the title of this thread to Bill Monroe gets no respect. W/O him their is no Bluegrass.
Come on only tyzack in his first post even alluded to him.
Some great bands mentioned though.
Yes, I agree, Monroe is definitely the godfather of modern bluegrass, but things have moved on to include the new generation of pickers - even Rowan is pretty old hat now (though he is still an excellent performer).
I, for one, am a pretty recent convert to bluegrass so have appreciated this thread a lot. Seeing people, whose tastes I respect, enthuse over players of whom I have only heard, has made me go out and download a whole folder DVD of stuff from etree. (But I wish I could find some live shows by Furnace Mountain - that vid is FUN!)
Mention bluegrass to many these days and it will only be these new acts that people know - some might even think argue the future of bluegrass lies with Hayseed Dixie! ;)

also, fiddly dave vanderventer (mcgraw gap, david via & corn tornado, furnace mountain) is a younger guy who, to me, has all the potential to be this generation\'s vassar. here\'s furnace mountain (and guests) doing war pigs! the version the night before was some of the most smoking playing i\'ve ever seen. this version is still a blast, but not quite the same... also, if you know tha musement, their singer aimee shares time with furnace mountain.
there\'s a bunch of good clips of these guys on you tube...

In the UK, the term bluegrass doesn\'t mean much to most people - only that piece of music in Deliverance. At least Hayseed Dixie have raised awareness of it now - they sell out most places they play.
I have to admit to being a bit of a recent convert to bluegrass. Always liked the Old & In The Way album (bought twenty-odd years ago when I was going through a major deadhead phase) and guitarists like David Bromberg, who I have sometimes seemed labelled as bluegrass (seems more like what we would call roots to me). The acoustic stuff by sci was always my favourite stuff - Black Clouds remains my favourite song of theirs, but I hadn\'t really ever checked out much by other, more \'respected\' old school bluegrass guys other than Peter Rowan, whom I saw last month, due to his performances with Jerry and sci.
However, I went to see an acoustic show by Banana and David Nelson in March after downloading a duo show of theirs and since then have been investigating pickers like Sam Bush and Tony Rice - always lots of shows on bt.etree - and can honestly say I haven\'t found anything not to like.
IMHO, not one (c)rap artist can hold a candle to any of these guys, either technically or creatively. Full marks to you joe for getting out the old flat-top and educating those morons blasting out unmelodious noise!

I haven\'t been exposed to much Blue Grass but I like the above. I don\'t like it all but there is something about the music that touches a very primal Americana spot in me.

for a newer, but more traditional bluegrass band, you simply can\'t go wrong with the infamous stringdusters!! these guys are great! not new/jamgrass, but straight up bluegrass. they either won or were at least up for the best bluegrass album of the year this year. it was their first!
cornmeal is also really good!
but if y\'all aren\'t familiar with john hartford, let me know. if you\'ve ever listened to any letfover salmon show, you\'ve most likely heard at least one of his tunes. if you haven\'t heard any leftover salmon, find anything from 97-99. you will be dumbfounded! i still believe them to have been THE best band of 1997, but i don\'t expect most other folks to agree. they\'re all wrong, but its ok, i know better. i\'m assuming, however, that everyone has heard salmon and loves them as much as they should. but i digress. if you\'ve never heard steam powered aeroplane, it is now out of print. i can probably find a way for you to hear it, though...

its a shame that so many kids have so little clue... rap (like techno) has its time and place. around a campfire is never the right time or place, however.
Rap can be played at a Bonfire on a beach with mad honeys dancing, drinking and smoking though.

Now maybe this is just my taste is music talking, and to plagerise Satre, "One mans music is another man\'s hell"...but I was at my friends house the other night, hanging out, playing wii/ps3, and we had just built a fire. However, someone\'s iPod full of listenable mid-90s rap was playing and I though to my self "Pretty fire with rap?" What? So at the first chance I got I slowly qued up a random list of bluegrass ****. No one noteworthy, but noone bad.
It took people about 10 minutes to realize what was going on, then an emediate outcry about "country music" "what is this ****?" errupted and the rap went back on.
Whatever, but given a choice of what is good fireside music, loud bass and a synth board, or the high lonesome sound of a fiddle and a mandoline...for me the choice is a no brainer.
