Members horseman1 Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 The soundtrack from "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" The Soggy Bottom Boys doing "Man of Constant Sorrow" brings a smile to my face every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soul Shakedown Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 Dan Tyminski is the voice of "The Soggy Bottom Boys". And as Justsomeguy pointed out, he is currently with Alison Krauss and Union Station... a band which also features the fantastic Jerry Douglas on slide guitar. Jerry Douglas is my bluegrassy recommendation. A few other quick picks for bluegrass/newgrass musicians: -Psychograss (including Mike Marshall-mandolin, Darol Anger-fiddle) -Pat Flynn -Mark O'Connor ...but DEFINITELY check out Jerry Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangerrick Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 I saw a feature film once said that Grisman and Garcia met at a Bill Monroe festival. each went their seperate ways but ended up a few miles apart and put out some great bluegrass alblums I suggest the Pizza Tapes which includes Tony Rice, these were not finished in a studio but recorded in Garcias house. they were called the Pizza Tapes because a Pizza Delivery guy stold them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jimmy Chaos Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 I quite like Old Crow Medicine Show... Their album 'O.C.M.S.' is a good record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One_Dude Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I can't believe that no one has mentioned Rhonda Vincent. I think her band is called the "Rage"; check her out, great Bluegrass. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One_Dude Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Whoops, just thought of another one; Doyle Lawson. Don't remember the name of his band. Also, Jim Lauderdale has done some things with Ralph Stanley that are excellent. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TN.Frank Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 There are so many great Bluegrass bands here in the South it's hard to mention all of em'. The Cherryholmes story is really a great one. Basically, mom and dad started the band and as the kids grew up they each learned to play and joined, now it's one of the all time great Bluegrass bands.

Members Greymuzzle Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Does Tom Russells Ballad of Jimmy Martin count as Bluegrass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TN.Frank Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 I think of Jimmy Martin as more "Roots Country", i.e. Country BEFORE drums. That's one nice thing about Bluegrass, you don't have to waste your time looking for a drummer,LOL. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tag Posted November 28, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Man this thread is golden, thanks to everyone! I should have my fill for a few months now at least... That's one nice thing about Bluegrass, you don't have to waste your time looking for a drummer,LOL. :poke: Ha, maybe that's why I'm getting so into it...the wife plays bass and I rock the guit and we both sing, and we unsuccessfully searched for a suitable drummer for a long time before finally just deciding to play as an acoustic duo...

Members TN.Frank Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 You'll need a mandolin player to provide the "snar" part of your rythem section, add a banjo and a dobro and maybe a fiddle and you're in buisness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guit30 Posted November 28, 2008 Members Share Posted November 28, 2008 Frank, That is neat that you and the wife play together, when I was married, my wife played piano with me and also guitar. If I still lived In Knoxville, I'd come up and jam!!!!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get her to give the guitar a try but it's a bit hard on her fingers. I was thinking that maybe an autoharp would be easier.

Members AZMLII Posted November 29, 2008 Members Share Posted November 29, 2008 To add to the excellent suggestions already give... For an overview of traditional bluegrass I recommend giving the CD "Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics" a listen. As the name implies it's a compilation of classic bluegrass songs. It's what got me started on traditional bluegrass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
