Songs have been in my head for a few days. I love bluegrass and for the other, maybe one, person on DP who likes bluegrass I decided to post a few.

Hot Rize ~ Just Like You





Rhonda Vincent ~ Little Angels

 
My favorite-heard it live many many years ago

Jerry Garcia on banjo vocals
Peter Rowan vocals guitar
Vassar Clements fiddle
David Grissman Mandolin and vocals
Joe Kahn bass


 
One of my 'modern' favorites:

 
I tend to like the odd or "progressive" bluegrass.





 
Larry Cordel and Lonesome Standard Time ~ I'm Not That Good At Goodbye

A clip of Vassar at The Lone Star Cafe in NYC (now closed)

 
this guy was actually a camp counselor at a camp I went to in Jackson Hole about forty years ago. I last saw him on my way to the Olympic trials. I was waiting in St Louis for a flight and he was playing his guitar at a gate waiting for plane to join up with John Denver in Colorado. We each wished the other guy good luck he came to cincinnati a few times but I was either unable to attend or was out of town. He goes between country and bluegrass and folk.

 


Cotton Eyed Joe was once thought to be the Texas National Anthem :lol:

Risky, I've had a mad musical crush on Ricky since the mid-'80s and also The Whites. Love them. Love bluegrass gospel too--Doyle Lawson (on Ricky's label) and the Forrester Sisters.

Meanwhile, here's Bela Fleck with Earl Scruggs:

 
Not my fave duet (not much is out on YouTube), but here's Ricky with Sharon White:

 
pretty much a classic
