Hi David; I've never been able to get into mainstream bluegrass, but such country greats as Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton have done a fair amount of "blue grassy" music that I like, and that's where their roots are.
But lately, I've been listening to a lot of Alison Krauss and her Union Station Band-- essentially a bluegrass band. But here too, the music of hers that I really like is a mix of bluegrass, country, folk, and pop-- hard to classify, but really nice. I especially like her "Forget About It" CD and haven't been able to get it out of my transport for long lately. Another long time favorite is Emmylou Harris' "A Cowgirl's Prayer"-- again not truly bluegrass, more country, pop, folk. Just my 2 cents worth. Cheers. Craig.
