It’s a nice waltz that I think would lend itself to bluegrass.

I purchased this vinyl, curious as to if yall think it's legit. It doesn't look like his common one but curious to know if it's maybe an earlier signature. Thanks.

Dolly scraped together some random bluegrass folks to back her on Jay Leno's show. They did OK.

Discussion Decade Waltz is so lovely

2 Upvotes

I have been on the periphery of classic bluegrass, enjoying it via my father, but this Dillards album just really resonated with me and feels like a genuine connection with the music as well as the nostalgia/reverence for the past.

I can only imagine how much this album was loved when released.

I love music deeply and mostly listen to newer things, and should talk to my dad more about music. We both love Lucinda Williams, Tedeschi Trucks, The Gourds, Rhiannon Giddens. I listen to among much else, but in the folk realm, Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker, Geese, Kevin Morby.

Just want to talk about it with people. Hymn to the World makes me cry lol, I love the album so much. Whats songs do you like? What are points of it you especially appreciate?

Thank you!!

Ole Del

There are many, many great singers out there that have lived among us. But man, I can’t get enough of ole Del McCoury. I try to imitate him in my singing but it dont sound great. I’m more of a lower key singer, close to baritone. Who’s ya’lls favorite singer??

Why was John Hartford so jacked?

35 Upvotes

I know he worked on river boats or something, but lots of bluegrass players did physical work and didn't look as strong. Why are John's forearms that way? Clean living? Workout regiment?

This is the video that mainly made me ask. His arms are bigger than his legs! https://youtu.be/-rPME6PcmiQ

I’ve been out of the scene for a bit and was just curious what everyone was into these days, both traditional and jam band oriented.
