Produced by T-Bone Burnett, the unlikely project turned out to be a natural pairing, with the singers' voices hanging sweetly together over an easy, supple backdrop of rootsy Americana. The album, a critical and commercial success, followed shortly after A Hundred Miles or More, a collection of Krauss' collaborations with artists like Brad Paisley, James Taylor and Sting. Beyond singing and songwriting, Krauss also produces other artists' records, such as Alan Jackson's acclaimed 2006 release, Like Red on a Rose. - Philip Sherburne]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42555&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Sat, 19 Dec 2009 10:51:08 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.42555 art.42555 John Denver art.42555 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42555&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.42555&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61796&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss New Country Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:24:21 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61796 art.61796 Dixie Chicks art.61796 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61796&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61796&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Wide Open Spaces, knew that the band had already been together for almost a decade, playing the folk and bluegrass circuit. The group was started by champion fiddle player Martie Seidel and her banjo-playing sister Emily Irwin. They went through a succession of lead singers before settling on Natalie Maines in the late-1990s. Maines' country pedigree is impressive, beginning with her father Lloyd Maines, a legendary pedal steel guitarist and studio luminary who has produced and played with Uncle Tupelo, Richard Buckner and Joe Ely, among others. With Maines in place, the Chicks dropped some of their bluegrass trappings in favor of a more conventional New Country sound. The fine-tuning paid off. Wide Open Spaces rocketed to the top of the charts, as did its follow-up Fly. But 2002's aptly titled Home found the girls returning to their bluegrass roots (despite the pop-friendly cover of Stevie Nicks' "Landslide"), which was a well-timed choice considering that by then, country music fans were caught up in old-timey fever thanks to the O Brother, Where Art Thou phenomenon. Top of the World Tour: Live was released in November of 2003, perfectly capturing the unstoppable energy and undying love for country music the Dixie Chicks exude on the live stage. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed and even boycotted by many media outlets after Maines test-drove the First Amendment on a London stage when she stated: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas." Following the short-lived Dixie Chicks boycott, the band released "I Hope" in 2005, a hit single recorded to garner charity funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Their seventh studio album, Taking the Long Way, was released in late May of 2006. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2718&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Classic Rock Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:52 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2718 art.2718 Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young art.2718 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2718&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2718&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Deja Vu, but they still manage to stamp their signature vocal style on the sound, traversing from melodic pop to acoustic folk to Hard Rock. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4323&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Folk-Rock Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:31:01 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4323 art.4323 Crosby, Stills and Nash art.4323 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4323&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4323&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Country Pop/Cosmopolitan Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:24:49 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4802 art.4802 Dolly Parton art.4802 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4802&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1172&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Folk-Rock Wed, 16 Dec 2009 11:55:18 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1172 art.1172 The Byrds art.1172 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1172&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1172&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59784&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss New Country Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:24:25 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.59784 art.59784 Vince Gill art.59784 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59784&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59784&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Turn Me Loose.

John Mellencamp was in that movie, and McMurtry slipped him a demo tape. Impressed, Mellencamp signed on to produce his new labelmate's debut, Too Long in the Wasteland. From the outset, McMurtry was heralded for his lyrical astuteness and keen character-building. He recorded regularly throughout the '90s, releasing critically acclaimed efforts in 1992 (Candyland) and 1995 (Where'd You Hide the Body). Toward the end of the decade, McMurtry switched to the Sugar Hill label and released 1997's It Had to Happen, 1998's Walk Between the Raindrops and 2002's Saint Mary of the Woods. After releasing a live album for his new label, Compadre, McMurtry released Childish Things in 2005, his first overtly political release, which reflected his dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq and the companies profiting from it. Three years later, McMurtry returned with Just Us Kids, a biting snapshot of the social and political state of the country in 2008. - Linda Ryan]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68971&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss New Traditional Bluegrass Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:38:28 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68971 art.68971 Ricky Skaggs art.68971 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68971&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68971&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68439&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Country-Folk Sun, 6 Dec 2009 09:55:34 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.68439 art.68439 Rosanne Cash art.68439 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68439&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.68439&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Seven Year Ache that the twang really becomes her. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4202&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Bluegrass Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:40 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4202 art.4202 Bill Monroe art.4202 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4202&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4202&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44140&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Bluegrass Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:51:07 -0700 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44140 art.44140 Doyle Lawson art.44140 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44140&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44140&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Gospel Radio Gems, which focused more on gospel and much less on bluegrass.

Her songs are haunting, ashen, pastoral folk musings that make Gillian Welch look like a smiling member of the New Main Street Singers from the film A Mighty Wind. Originally from Texas, Holland's prairie-sweet voice emits a deep southern drawl providing a contrast that works beautifully when set to the dark and desolate instrumentation of her recordings. Holland's stark songwriting paints pictures of a somber kind of Americana by pulling influences from Carter Family murder ballads and bucolic tones that would even wow Greil Marcus. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2646&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Progressive Bluegrass Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:46 -0800 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.2646 art.2646 David Grisman art.2646 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2646&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2646&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss The David Grisman Quintet and his work with Stephane Grappelli and Jerry Garcia have earned him legendary status.

Songs more honest and moving than "Sweet Forgiveness" and "After You're Gone" are rarely heard: the emotional stingers they leave deep within the listener burn worse as time goes on. It's Dement's gift to convert tiny packages of painful experience into vocal honey so it's easy going down, but these songs pack one heck of an emotional hangover. Dement's no Nashville hothouse flower to whom tick mattresses and gingham dresses are as foreign as distant stars -- she's got the scrappy tough voice and sensibility of a woman who's faced poverty and personal loss and keeps a piece of them within to remind her of where she's been. My Life (1993) and The Way I Should (1996) proved Dement is an artist capable of consistently releasing albums as remarkable as her debut. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44783&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Progressive Bluegrass Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:41:58 -0700 Top Country-Folk/Bluegrass Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44783 art.44783 Norman Blake art.44783 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44783&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44783&variant=data&rws=%2Fcountry%2Fcountry-folk-bluegrass%2Fartist-chart.rss Nashville Skyline album. Blake launched a solo career that made him a star on the Bluegrass and folk circuit, though he maintained a high profile as a session player. Although he is most often identified as a Bluegrass player, his style over the years has evolved into something much harder to label. His sound ties Old-Time String Band music, Bluegrass fiddle tunes, Country Blues, Early Jazz and even Tin Pan Alley pop together with a combination of technical virtuosity and lyrical melodic invention. - Tom Heyman]]>
