Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Catfish John

[@ryan6500]

Pure gold! Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band should all be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Quite right. Back in the old days Johnny Russell did far too much twerking when he sang this. Very distracting.

She also performed it at the 50TH anniversary of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the Ryman Auditorium. It was fabulous as well with Sam Bush in the band.

Alison Krauss with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is exquisite. Who else will keep this music alive?

[@EchosLens]

Oh my, there are so many musicians, singer-songwriters, out there but in relative obscurity. A bunch of those people are women who have been redefining bluegrass, and country. I don't know where to start with a list, but let me know if you are interested and I will point you in the direction of folks playing some badass songs and such. One thing, have you ever seen Sierra Hull play mandolin and sing? She was helped up into the music industry by performing with Alison Krauss when she (Sierra) was in about the 2nd grade. Alison was brought up and out into prominence in the same way; very young. Sierra Hull is all grown up now, still playing mandolin with her band, performing, and blazing new trails for women, in bluegrass and mandolin playing. Both of those fields have been male dominated for a very long time.

Then you get it my friend. This was written in '72 and obviously meant to bring unity. I live in Vicksburg, I am a white male and don't subscribe to any form of racism. Slowly things are changing. I live in Vicksburg, MS and see a lot of love between whites and blacks. I also see a lot of ignorant people stuck in backwards mentalities, both black and white. Like I said, things are changing slowly but surely. Actions speak louder than words, and as long as some of us continue to bring love, that backwards thinking will dissolve.
