Skibas: first thing you have to do is run, don't walk, to your local record store and pick up a copy of the Grass is Blue by Dolly Parton. I'm serious. You'll thank me.
Other bluegrass albums I love:
- Bean Blossom by Bill Monroe: a recording of around half a dozen different top-notch bluegrass bands each performing short sets at the 7th Annual Bill Monroe Bluegrass Festival in 1973.
- I've Got That Old Feeling by Alison Krauss. Krauss's more recent albums introduce more traditional folk elements, but this one is straight-up bluegrass. Wonderful musicianship, gorgeous singing.
- The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From the Acoustic Planet, Volume 2 by Bela Fleck. Top-notch playing from all concerned.
The Mountain by Steve Earle and the Del McCoury Band. Steve Earle's songwriting backed by an ace bluegrass band. Great stuff.
These are all pretty modern bluegrass albums (except Bean Blossom) - if you want a more old-style bluegrass sound check out some more Bill Monroe, or Flatt & Scruggs. Enjoy!

Oh bloody hell, yes! I saw them live last month and a couple of months prior and will see them again next month when they open for The Reverend Horton heat! I fucking love those guys.

You didn't stand right in front, did you? Nothing's worse than going to a concert and ending up with pubes all over your face.
