I enjoy a lot of different music, but I have to say that the finest Bluegrass musicians are truly beyond belief. Everyone's heard of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, etc, etc, but the likes of Tony Rice & many, many, others are a match for anyone from any genre of music. I was introduced to BG via David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, but that's not quite the same as hearing Dan Tyminski & Co. performing "Carry Me Across The Mountain" for the very first time! Ricky Skaggs & KY Thunder have always blown me away as well. "Sally Jo" was the first song I ever heard along with "Wheel Hoss". Just a treat to watch these people sing & play. Wish I could move back to Kentucky. Thank you for the great upload!

Wow. That's it. Just, "wow." These men and women put out Bluegrass music that must be experienced to be believed. I am new to Bluegrass and I am enjoying the wholesome melodies that, looking at some comments here, I agree are a profound expression of what it means to be living in America. Each song tells a story that I find unique, fun and culturally relevant. The talent and professionalism on display here is impressive, to say the least. Not long ago, I happened to see a few videos of the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys on the David Letterman Show, Willow Osborne performing on Country Tonite at Pigeon Forge and then I happened to stumble upon JD Crowe and the New South. Watching the performance here tops the cake...I am hooked on Bluegrass.
@bobgroff13286 жыл бұрын
If you stumbled on JD check out the New South in 1975. Many new grass lovers have never heard of Tony Rice, you need to hear him and there was also Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas. After that listen to some Ralph Stanley from 1970-1974. That was his All Star band with Roy Lee Centers, Keith Whitley, yes the same Keith Whitley that went on to become a superstar, there are some country music fans that do not know about his bluegrass history and again Ricky Skaggs. Hope you enjoy!
@christopherthompson33876 жыл бұрын
Great recommendation, bob! Bluegrass keeps impressing me. A simple search took me to the New South 1975, where I was able to experience Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas. Boy can they all sing and harmonize, or what? Top shelf bluegrass music! Thanks for the recommendation...I would urge any bluegrass fan to see these gentleman perform. What a treat. Tony Rice just blew me away with his singing. I'm going to look up the others you mentioned a bit later...I am soaking all this great New South music up at the moment. Thanks, bob!

Okay, I gotta say it: 1. Thanks for uploading this. 2. Having said that, there is something *severely* wrong with the audio. I'm guessing that either the original source-material source material was "digital native", or that you digitized it off of VHS tape (most common analog format). 3. At any rate, you bypassed any DRM (if digital) or "copy protection" (if analog) built into the source material by *playing it back*, and *recording the playback*. 4. Problem with that is: the resultant audio ended up sounding somewhere between "phase shifted" and/or very short duration reverb" - most likely because whatever recording program you used inadvertently recorded *two* audio sources, at fractional delay from one another. Not so much a "complaint", as a technical observation, for future reference.

If it was ambient reverb from the hall, you would only hear it *during the performances* (and not during the sit-down interviews, which obviously took place in a diferent setting). 2. The same weird reverb/flanging effect happsn on the voiceover narration at the beginning of the video - which was *not* done by an announcer at whatever concert-hall where at least some of this was recorded. Now that I think of it, the audio processing might be *deliberate* - and specifically intended to bypass KZbin's copyright-infringement scans. Just some observations/possibilities.
