Anyone have any suggestions for some Bluegrass to go out and get? Something with some sick guitar and banjo...preferably a little better on the sonic quality side. Don't know where to start.
I'd rather be anywhere or doing anything |

second bill monroe for old school, true bluegrass.
del mccoury follows bill monroe's style
ralph stanley is another giant of old good bluegrass
ricky skaggs is his disciple.
but you absolutely need to get some Flatt and Scruggs. of course their most famous hit (after the Beverly Hillbillies theme), Foggy Mtn. Breakdown, is a classic. |

I've got their last one, Big Iron World. I like their name too, it comes from the popular nickname for the government in Russian and Eastern European countries.
One band I've never heard but would love to just from their name: Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers.

I got into them for a while - I tended to like the slower and medium tempo ones more than the big hoe-downs
great harmonica playing too which you don't usually hear in a bluegrass band |

I like "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medicine Show. I haven't heard
anything else by them. |

my guitarist is a bluegrass maniac. He likes Old Crow Medicine Show a lot.

Mrs. Coastline and I listen to Allison Krauss & Union Station quite a bit. (Union Station were the "Soggy Bottom Boys" in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou?") Otherwise, I'm not that much into bluegrass.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

How about Mark Lemhouse? Hasn't he dabbled?

My favorites are
Bill Monroe (of course)
Jimmy Martin - (gotta hear Freeborn Man and You Don't Know My Mind)
Vern Williams Band -
Doc Watson
Doc might not be considered "bluegrass" really but he is an amazing picker - it's close enough. He did one with David Grisman called "Doc and Dawg" that is really really good |
