    Got a bunch of Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass boys on the ipod!

    Favorite 'Newer' bluegrass/old-time music would have to include Old & In The Way, and Dave Rawlings Machine/Gillian Welch. Good stuff!
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Another great newer bluegrass band is the Puch Brothers. I saw them do a whole set of radiohead covers! :D

    I almost went to see Doc Watson at the newport folk fest this year. I really should've gone just to see him, he woun't be doing it much longer. :(
    I did see Pete Seeger (91) though at his festival in NY. He didn't play much but to see how happy he was on stage with kids was priceless.

    Try KUMD radio, from Duluth Minnesota. There's often old-time music on there.

    Don't miss him if you get another chance. He was unbelievable. And he is funny as all hell.

    Newer (kind of) bluegrass- Felice Brothers. Can't get enough of them. Fucking great and they have so much fun when they play.

    yeah, mookeywrench you owe me as well my mind is blown. I saw the lp in the store but had no clue what type of music it was. I just ordered a copy of the newer album.

    Another great band...punk/grass like.

    First time I've seen Pete Seeger play the mandolin and he rips this great tribute to the great Woody Guthrie.

    Check out this band, Carolina Road. My Dad plays banjo and wrote some of the songs on this record:

    That sounds great! Very traditional stuff, I would enjoy listening to them. Has he taught you anything on the banjo? I picked it up about a year ago and it is a tough insturment. I can play clawhammer style but I haven't gotten the hang of playing with picks just yet.

    Thanks Dude! :D
    I just got the newer album Palomino and I dig it. It's got some fast ass fiddle as well as slower ballads, which I tend to enjoy more.
    I noticed the second to last track on the first side, "separate" has a "wishlist" type rhythm in parts. Maybe it's just me hearing a little pj in everything.

    I'm a fan of Nickel Creek (Sean and Sara Watkins, Chris Thile). I catch the Watkins Family at Largo in L.A. alll the time. The Watkins Family is hosting a Christmas show on the 21st. I've seen them play with Jackson Browne, Fiona Apple, semi-regular Benmont Tench, Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, John-Paul Jones and Greg Leise.
    The Punch Brothers have also made appearances. I've seen Chris play along side Bela Fleck.
    I saw Noam and Critter play with Ed Helms (yup... Andy Bernard from 'The Office').
    If you get a chance, catch the Steep Canyon Rangers who sometimes appear with Steve Martin.

    Their "before the frost...until the freeze" album is one of my favorite and it is very old timey. They recorded it live for very few fans in levon helm's barn recording studio. Two thumbs up for this album

    For some great old time vinyl ...http://www.folkways.si.edu/searchresults.aspx?set=1&sPhrase=LP&sType=format

    I got the Dock Doggs, a Lucinda Williams, Elizabeth Cotten, and Roscoe Holcomb. I would suggest any of them. It's great company as well.
