Sharing a bit of true country (bluegrass) music I'm fond of

Absolutely love this video which shows a little slice of folk music. It's just a pair of brothers playing an old song on a guitar and a banjo. I've watched it many times and it's among my favorite renditions of this song.

It's good to see (hear) others have the same appreciation for good music!

This kid may not be everyone’s style, but he can pick a guitar or a banjo like nobody’s business. I’ve seen him live a couple of times

He did some great work with Marcus King!

Here is one of the best versions of "Summertime" I've ever heard! Doc Watson and his son Merle putting on an amazing show.

Here is another fun folk song I really enjoy:

Billy Strings is an amazing artist. He’s the best flat picker guitarist since Doc Watson IMO. He has a wonderful singing style too.

When I was nine or ten we were visiting my aunt and uncle in East Tennessee. One evening we went to eat at a local barbeque place where a banjo player and clogger were doing exactly this sort of blue grass and dance. Extraordinary. Thanks for posting.

Hillary Klug has been really popular the last couple years. She is good. I have been following her on FB and You Tube for awhile now...

She is terrific. Her more traditional Irish is also superb.

Billy Strings played in Nashville during SCI last year. I took my son. We were both absolutely amazed by how good he and his band can play.

Some musicians, when they begin to play, seem like the hand of the Divine is involved.

I am watching for her to play at the Opry one day soon...

Here is another rendition of "Hook and Line" that's fun to hop around to, after a couple strong drinks.

Here is a complete Ralph Stanley and Jimmy Martin record that I highly recommend!

My 3 year old and I were driving a few days ago and he started singing Long Journey Home out of nowhere...I figured I got a gold medal for parenting that day.

Speaking of good bluegrass, my wife and I are going to see Nickel Creek this spring and I can't wait.
