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:

I would start with his live "Ice Caps: Peaks of Telluride" CD. It came out in 2000 on Sugarhill Records.

**iceman** · 08-26-2005, 07:51 AM

Start with some Ralph Stanley and some Bill Monroe and go from there.

**trainnvain** · 08-26-2005, 08:11 AM

Just for variety sake, get some Hayseed Dixie and Jug (all cover stuff, but purty good).

**Lostinthetrees** · 08-26-2005, 10:13 AM

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.

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?

**Rusty Nails** · 10-24-2005, 08:01 PM

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.

**ANON-505** · 10-24-2005, 09:06 PM

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"
