I can jam to it sometimes, but to me a lot of it sounds like some drunken hillbilly just pluckin away on a banjo. i hate to stereotype, but tahts totally what it reminds me of!!
Wayfaring, I'm offended by that... I happen to have friends who are STONED "hillbillies" who play BG... they are called Yonder Mountain...lost in the woods with the munchies? oh, no, not again.... drumminmama no the BG players don't let me drum with them.... snobs ;P
i love me some bluegrass, mostly high energy stuff. i heard a lady try to turn rocky top into a long slow ballad once and i hated it....................... i am trying to learn banjo now, it is hard as fawk
I used to hate bluegrass with a passion. Then a friend convinced me to attend a ymsb concert. Now I love it.
I love how fast it is!!!!!! I recently got a record of a band that started out doing bluegrass in the 60s and I have thier first live album and its excellent!!!!!! Anyone like The Dillards? Live!!!! Almost!!! They played bluegrass on thier first 3 records then sadly changed and a later album I have from them (1972) isnt as good........
