Mothers Day Friday!... if you still got yours, hug her neck and thank her for bringing your ass into the world! If not, go to where she rests and pay respects.

That said, by an odd set of how things work in this world, i got an invite to "come jam" with some bluegrass folks! yea...i know... so i've been listening to BG this week... sounds hard, but the jam sessions sounds like fun (lack of time, aside from some skillset shortfall, makes this difficult).

So here on this rather hardened group, i spin for you: (I don't know if this is "authentic" BG, but it's what i'm rolling with)



Of course there's always this:

Good fucking luck man :lol: I’ve been around bluegrass my whole life and I wouldn’t dare stick my nose in a session. There are a lot of players around here. Any nice weekend day there will be a gaggle around the old courthouse in town and there’s just nothing they can’t play with seemingly little effort. Old men with knobby finger joints somehow with way more dexterity than me just blazing away on those nonstop rolling reels and jigs.

I have however been playing a lot of acoustic lately since I picked up a new one I’m super happy with, so I’ve also been on that country and bluegrass kick. Doing some chores right now letting Cuttin’ Grass play through.

Yeah playing that kind of stuff is a different world, not just from a skill standpoint but these guys develop an encyclopedic knowledge of this catalog of folk tunes over time that I’m positive I’d be lost in. It all makes it look very intimidating from the outside. But hell he sounds like a nice guy, maybe it’ll be fun.

I think how well so many of Sturgill’s songs did with the stripped down bluegrass treatment (some are much better than the original versions IMO) is a testament of what a good songwriter the guy is.
 
Just received this one

^^Love me some Diver Down - brings back a lot of early teens memories

^^^dig me some Bluegrass
 
New Crowbar, it's got a great guitar tone to it, the old school Randall sound that I love, but Kirk's vocal delivery and lyrics lack on this album... maybe I just need to give it a few more spins but you can tell his voice is not what it used to be.

Kenny Rogers’ original version sounds like something you’d hear in a 70’s porno, but this version Tyler Childers does live kicks ass.
 
I've been listening to the Warning . Pretty weak but I can't figure out if it's their choreographed Halestorm clone music or just staring at young chicks ??

They do hit it pretty good though energy wise !!

I always thought one of my favorite Plini solos was in this song (I'll time stamp the solo). Then one day I read the liner notes...Stephen Taranto. :ROFLMAO:
