I just got done watching The Edge of Country on GAC. The episode was devoted to all things Bluegrass. I loved it because I all too often leave Bluegrass off my list of CD’s to buy or artists to look up. This is strange considering that any time I’ve caught a live Bluegrass act, I have jammed like there’s no tommorrow (not a pretty picture, just ask my wife). One of the top concerts of all time for me was when I caught David Grisman with Cadillac Sky opening up for him. One of the videos that was shown on Edge was “On The Road – Live” from Sam Bush. It’s a fantastic song, plus the man can sing and play anything with strings, including my shoes, most likely. You may have noticed that I have videos posted on the left side of your screen. I typically just put clips there that I like and think you might as well, with no real format or thought beyond being random. In this case, I am making it an (almost) all Bluegrass strip o’ clips. Please check them out (no, Chad Vader is not a new act from Kentucky or N.C., it’s just funny). I went with live videos because I feel that Bluegrass jams are best in the live format vs the studio. Enjoy….
UPDATE: CMT.com’s blog has a post about a recent trend in the bluegrass world. He seems to be forgetting about the folks in the videos over to the side of this page that show a very different trend than what he is detailing.
