No Bluegrass stations on the radio in my area, but here's a good one online.https://bluegrasscountry.org/Hit the listen tab on the right.
Yup, wanna be banjo picker. I like guitar as well but not in a bluegrass vein.
No ads and the real deal.https://www.wmmt.org/Pete
Hey Pete, Thanks for that link. Not many play Bluegrass, they're missing out. We are too.The other station doesn't do ads either. Both rely on donations
One of my favorite bluegrass albums circa early 1970's was "Will the circle be unbroken".A younger group called the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band teamed up with bluegrass legends to produce a 3 record set.Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Roy Acuff, Merle Travis, Vasssar Clements are a few of the musicians that participated.Gives me an idea for a gift, thanks.https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/nitty-gritty-dirt-band-an-unbroken-circle/
So I think I need clarification. I've been gradually adding to a playlist that (I think) crossed the line from bluegrass to folk (acoustic) and back again. When I was a young man I loved "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and IIRC it had elements and performers from the genres of folk, bluegrass, and country.I am wondering what kind of music on I am focusing in on my playlist. I've got flatpickers like Doc Watson, Billy Strings, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas,and Molly Tuttle. Banjo players Bela Fleck, Alison Brown, and Ralph Stanley, Mandolins by Sara Jarosz and Sierra Hull, and Mark O' Connor and Sara Watkins fiddling.There is also a fair Austin contingent represented with Blaze Foley and Guy Clark, et al. I thought it was country, then decided it was folk, but after reading this post, think that much of it may be bluegrass.So, how do folk and bluegrass differ?? Are they both a subset of country? Or is it the other way around?
Well I suppose she is not considered bluegrass but I like her music. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FikZwgj89HIhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nlaoR5m4L80
