Since this is my 6,000th post, will y'all listen to some bluegrass with me?

"I'll Fly Away" by Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch (video from the film that reminded us what REAL country music is)..

Emmylou Harris & Ricky Skaggs - "Hello Stranger" (Oh my. This is one of those youtube discoveries that makes my day. From a long time ago, and introduced by The Man in Black)

A great medley from Ricky Skaggs and The Chieftains ... nice singin', great playin' and some joyous dancin!!

1977 Emmylou... "Making Believe" (maybe not bluegrass, but is it's damn purty!)

Fair warning: if ya don't like Gillian Welch (with David Rawlings), ya won't like the rest of this post much. Here's "Annabelle"..

1. I love Gillian...

almost everything she does is magic. And David is killer in his own right.
Do you care for any early Blue Grass?
My favorite: Bill Monroe. He and Hank Williams are my dog's personal favorites. :)

AND.. Congratulations on 6,000! :woohoo:

2. Thanks! I love Gillian too, obviously.

And yes, I like early bluegrass a lot as well.

I'm listening to the "Down From the Mountain" CD as I write this. Great stuff! :thumbsup:
