they never really bounced like you thought they would when bottoming out. 


right now Jamey Johnson and Alison Krauss are singing Seven Spanish Angels on u-tube, good version

Never heard that version, I remember watching TV when my Dad was still alive and Willie and Ray Charles debuted their version of it, love it instantly.

You can find some really good Steve Martin stuff on YouTube, too.

INCREDIBLE banjer player !!!

That he is, did not know that til a couple of years ago. He does a lot to help keep the old time music alive.

Check out Take's Bluegrass Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3HEfPXzoNc1dH-QMjlAGbQ). He's got all sorts of great albums on there. You've gotten some good suggestions so far. A couple names I would add would include Reno & Smiley, Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys, JD Crowe & the New South, Jim and Jesse McReynolds, The Osborne Brothers (note: NOT the Brothers Osborne), and The Country Gentleman. If you like guitar picking, check out Tony Rice. That man is probably the greatest guitarist to ever live. Another great guitarist to check out would be Norman Blake. He and Tony Rice have a could albums out (Titled: Blake and Rice) that are great. Some more recent groups (still active today) that still fit the classic bluegrass sound would include Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Dailey & Vincent, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Blue Highway, Russel Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and Terry Baucom & the Dukes of Drive. One cool thing I've found on YouTube is when you find an artist you like, search their name plus the word "topic". This usually brings up a channel for the given artist and often times you can find most of their albums.

Thank you very much for the names and the tips, getting to every bodies suggestions as fast as I can.

The Kruger Brothers are great. Jens is a monster banjo player. I think it's safe to say you touched on my true passion. I am banjo picker first and foremost (Don't hold that against me) Turkey hunting has quickly taken a hold of me though. But in all honesty, bluegrass banjo is my true addiction. Going off what Yoder said, Steve Martin has done a lot of great things for the banjo. He offers the Steve Martin Prize for Banjo Excellence where he gives the recipient $50,000! Last year's recipient, Scott Vestal, is truly a phenomenal musician. Check out the Bluegrass '95, '96 and '97 albums on YouTube. His banjo work on there has set the standard for the modern banjo picker.

Who knew the jerk could play?! Yes he does quite a bit for them, first learned of his involvement on either Leno or Letterman. I have to head to bed, taking my trapping course in the morning, I will check more out when I get home late in the day, it is an eight hour course. Thanks again.

Do you stream music on Pandora, or other music apps? If so, do a search for bluegrass stations and gospel stations. You'll find some of the tunes you are looking for, and likely some others that you like but hadn't heard of before. Plus, if you're not familiar, you can thumbs down the music you don't like, and thumbs up what you do like, and fine tune your station to your likes. Good luck!

I have done some with I heart radio but not much. Thanks.

If you like using I Heart Radio, check out 98.1 WBRF out of Galax, Virginia. They're a classic country and bluegrass station. If I remember right, there's a bluegrass show on air every night from 6:30-10:30 pm called the Blue Ridge Backroads.

You can sign up for free on Spotify and Pandora online with an email address. Have to listen to a few commercials but its not obtrusive, and the free part is the best part.

Both online streaming services have lots of bluegrass channels dedicated to the older stuff your akin to, including gospel bluegrass channels. I like it too, and introduced me to many new bands.
