Born out of the tradition of the old Southern ensemble string bands of the 19th
century, bluegrass is no older as a genre than rock & roll is, and both were
born when the amplification of instruments became widely available in the 50s.
What gives bluegrass the feel of being an older music form is the continued use
of the old string band tunes, speeding them up, giving them lift, and
reinventing them over and over again, so it probably should come as no surprise
that two of the biggest highlights on this set of bluegrass performances are
versions of old traditional songs, Peter Rowans take on Man of Constant Sorrow
and Sam Bushs rendition of Diamond Joe. All in all, this is a very pleasant
playlist.
