Holy shit!!!

Ever since I saw Jerry Douglas at the MOD club, I have been freaking out on the bluegrass/newgrass vibe.

-peter rowan with rice or douglas rocks

-tony rice unit....woah - always knew they were amazing, but woah...

-combos of all players: rice, douglas, bush, fleck, rowan, o'brien, pure sickness

lots of torrents around on dime and bt.etree...for example:

For Bluegrass, there's a lot going around.

Topping the list in my opinion is Yonder Mountain String Band

David Grisman is a legend and a virtuoso

SCI suck; yes, it's on topic

Bela Fleck is amazing

Gillian Welch is an angel

John Hartford is a forefather

as is Bill Monroe and many others; brain fart

South Austin Jug Band are great

There's a lot of good bluegrass in Colorado; a feeding ground for collaborations of all kinds.

Bluegrass has definately taken a self-induced tangent or diversification of the genre itself over the last little while and things have gotten really interesting. Fusion is the future. I''m thinking drum and bass with bluegrass ripping overtop but that's just me.
