www.voyagerrecords.com/cd_cass.htm, catalogue #VRCD355
(shameless plug for me) :biggrin:
also check out VRCD359, Williams & Bray
Lots of good stuff in that catalogue.
AKPM, Go find this CD: "Home Sweet Home"
It is a CD featuring the music of Doc and Merle Watson, recorded at one of their early backyard shows. The tapes were then put away and never released until years later when Sam Bush, Marty Suart, T. Michael Coleman, and Alan O'Bryant found them and with the blessing of the Watson family, overdubbed their parts in to make the orginal recordings sound more complete.
Also I think you would like this guy:

... it's pretty trippy.
Old and In the Way!!!
Grishman Garcia- Shady Grove.
Bela- Bluegrass sessions
Yonder Mountain String Band
Sam Bush
South Catherine Street Jug Band
Alison Krause
Pick any 2orthreeof the above and you will not be disappointed.
Start with some Ralph Stanley and some Bill Monroe and go from there.
Just for variety sake, get some Hayseed Dixie and Jug (all cover stuff, but purty good).
Alison Krauss & Union Station: "so long so wrong"
Alison Krauss & Union Station: "Now that I found you". Collection of her best bluegrass adn gospel. More in the traditional vein.
Bela Fleck and Flecktones; "Left of Cool".
Grsiman and Garcia's "Shady Grove" seemed plodding, weak, and Garcia seemed tired to me. I sold it. I second: "Old & In the Way", Garcia and friends. Overall, a must better effort.
Oooooh - Old School. In that case I say damn the torpedoes and buy anything you can featuring Lester Flatt or Earl Scruggs.... or both.Quote:

I like John Hartford may he rest in peace. Check out Aeroplane and he's on Oh Brother where Art Thou and many others. Doc & Merle Watson, Gillian Welch & Alison Krauss & Union Station & lots more. Checkout www.ckua.org Fire on The Mountain for some good bluegrass

Pizza Tapes?
I've seen a lot of good bluegrass, but the band that recently left me in absolute awe was Burned Biscuits. They are young and amazing and currently call Asheville, NC home. The lead singer's voice is unbelievable -- I was puddy in her hands... Check 'em out, they blow most of the contemporary suggestions made in this thread clear outta the water.
Check out:
"The Open Road" Playing out of Colorado (Lyons?)...they tour all over...I saw an amazing performance at the Targhee Bluegrass Festival like 3 years ago. They have two or three CD's, one of them is called "Cold Wind on Fletcher Hill". Awesome album with a very old-school feel.
"The Reeltime Travelers" Out of the Southeast somewhere...maybe TN. Kinda a mix between bluegrass and oldtime string band music.
If you're Kazaa'ing (or similar) these guys here are some good tracks:
"Cold Wind" Open Road
"Eyes Like Cherries" Reeltime Travelers
"Halleluja" Reeltime Travelers"
Railroad Earth
Is it incumbent upon bluegrass singers to resemble office sex pests?
Pretty much, Union work rules, what can ya do?
"Old And In The Way" with Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan and Vassar Clements

Nickel Creek and Chris Thile are kind of folky, but shit that guy can move his hands quickly.
ricky scaggs recent stuff.
Cast Iron Filter.
Is it all right to dislike Alison Kraus? Anyone..... bueller......... buelller........
*ducks tomato flung by gathering horde.
why oh why?
do you have to hat Jerry Douglas too?
yes.....Quote:

The Stanley Bros., "Clinch Mountain Gospel"
Might be a little raw for a neophyte Bluegrass/O Brother type. But it is the real deal, Jack.
try a google on "Mission Mtn Wood Band", later just known as "Montana", long gone now... sniff...but some hot shit back in the day...try it -- you'll like it
Jimmy Martin! Drink whiskey and listen to Jimmy.
Good to see some bluegrass lovers on TGR.
I will send any maggots a free copy of my old bands release "Cabin In The Hills" as i have a bunch lying around.
It features myself on dobro, jon stickley (now with The Biscuit Burners) on guitar, Andy Thorn (now with Larry Keel) on banjo, Robin Davis (now with the Wayword Sons) on mandolin and Travis Book (now with the Stringdusters) on bass. Just shoot me a pm and ill ship you off a copy. I think you can still listen at http://www.brokemountain.com
Also, feel free to check out my new band The Wayword Sons at http://www.waywordsons.com
Its more jammy and folky than straight up bluegrass as we have added a piano. Burle, our bass player writes a lot of tunes for Yonder Mountain String Band and their last studio album featured all tunes by him. The Wayword Sons is a relatively new band and our new album ought to be out sometime this summer.
Cheers, Seldom Seen
String Cheese Incident has some Bluegrass stuff and of course Allison Krause and Union Station
Tony Rice.
Also, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle be Unbroken" - more than one sequel, but the original is a classic.
