What does /mu/ think of Bluegrass? I've never seen it talked

I enjoy The Infamous Stringdusters, Sarah Jarosz, and all of Chris Thile's projects.

Check out the early Bluegrass Boys records, Reno and Smiley, the Lilly Brothers with Don Stover, and the Stanley Brothers.

I grew up with bluegrass d00d, it's a shame it never gets discussed here. I really dig Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Tony Rice, David Grisman, and in terms of Newgrass, how could you not like Chris Thile's projects.

Insufferable garbage, but I can see why it is liked.

Thile's approach to bluegrass is humorless prog-wankery and does nothing for me.

Don't mind me, just being the most entertaining Bluegrass album of all time here

I mean I can understand how you might think that about his Kid A covers, but he still makes music with a wide range of sounds from more traditional bluegrass, to poppy tunes, to rockier tunes. In my opinion he's got a little something for everyone. But yes, the fact that he's such a technically skilled mandolinist can make some of his songs sound robotic and wankish.

>>68984086
That's a good 'un

>>68984102
I see what you're saying, but his playing just doesn't do it for me. For the new school progressive kind of stuff I prefer someone like Andy Statman.

>>68984086
those were some funny guys

>I really dig Doc Watson

Doc was a fucking genius...saw him play 3 times and he ruled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-oTuPADMMg

Yeah man, I got to see him at the Philly Folk Fest one year, he was really old and had someone playing with him, but it was still awesome.

>>68981640
bullshit ive been posting bluegrass generals for the past week

welcome though

Doc also played rockabilly and straight-ahead old time music when he felt like it. He was a good banjo picker and harmonica player too. This tv recording of him, Fred Price, and Clint Howard playing something between bluegrass and old time music is worth watching.

Check out Hank Williams I'd say it's pretty blue grassy. Definitely worth checking
