<description><![CDATA[Alison Krauss was slated for greatness at an early age. At 12, the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America named her Most Promising Fiddler in the Midwest; just two years later, in 1985, she signed to Rounder Records. But even those honors barely foretold the success Krauss would eventually enjoy, breaking out of the bluegrass scene to become a bona-fide pop star with 26 Grammys to her name. Krauss' biggest record to date has been 2007's <I>Raising Sand</I>, which might have something to do with the participation of a certain Robert Plant. 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 <I>A Hundred Miles or More</I>, 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, <I>Like Red on a Rose</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Nickel Creek are a young power trio from San Diego who write devastatingly beautiful Bluegrass-inspired folk songs, sung by an angelic-voiced female singer. It's no surprise that Alison Krauss asked to produce Nickel Creek's album; their rustically-influenced accounts of moody folk songs are sung with textured, breathy vocal harmonies and seem like a gift from the gods. Although the music is a collective wash of otherworldly stringed tones, Nickel Creek blend a diverse cornucopia of instruments to create their ethereal woodland sound. Mandolin, Greek bouzouki, fiddle, banjo, upright bass, acoustic and electric guitars come together to create unique sonic layering that was seemingly created in some pastoral sound laboratory, rather than in a conventional studio.

<description><![CDATA[Rhonda Vincent is an Americana wonder who plays stellar Country Folk and Bluegrass. Whether Vincent is singing solo or three part harmonies it's evident that she is one of the most outstanding singers of her genre. Although she has been been known to perform and record the more mainstream Nashville Sound, Vincent shines brightest when her traditional musical heart and old-timey soul run free. Her twangy voice sings Honky-Tonk inflections like she was born to drown tears in beers.

<description><![CDATA[Singer-Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs started his career in Bluegrass playing mandolin and guitar with the Stanley Brothers in 1970. He kept developing his skills as both a sideman and a leader throughout the '70s, working mostly in Bluegrass. He was also a member of Emmylou Harris' Hot Band for a couple of years. In the early '80s, he had a streak of mainstream country (a genre plagued with pop gloss and overproduction) chart success. Skaggs and his sidemen's virtuoso country picking was heavily influenced by Bluegrass. That, when combined with his lean, no-frills production, makes Skaggs' gold and platinum success even more remarkable.

<description><![CDATA[Marty Stuart's road to country superstardom began at age 13 when he was hired as a mandolinist by Bluegrass legend Lester Flatt, with whom he played until Flatt's death in 1979. Stuart then spent quite a bit of time as a journeyman sideman playing acoustic and electric guitar for Doc & Merle Watson, fiddler Vassar Clements, and most significantly a long stint as lead guitarist for Johnny Cash. Stuart's own career as a leader didn't hit hard until 1989's "Hillbilly Rock" (1989), which pretty much sums up Stuart's traditionally minded, hard country sound. This record was a hit, as were many of the records that followed. Stuart is an inveterate collector of country memorabilia, owning several of Hank Williams guitars as well as Clarence White's original B-bender Telecaster guitar.

<description><![CDATA[Once a member of Canadian folk troupe the Be Good Tanyas, Jolie Holland set out to do her own thing, spawning a solo debut that won her the Best Americana Artist of 2003 award for the <I>SF Weekly</I> Music Awards. 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 <I>A Mighty Wind</I>. 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.

<description><![CDATA[Not only is Doyle Lawson revered as a prodigy of the mandolin, but he is also credited with popularizing the integration of gospel-style vocals in bluegrass music. He grew up singing gospel and taught himself how to play banjo, guitar and mandolin at the young age of 11. In the early 1960s he picked banjo for a stringband known as Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys before picking up his mandolin and joining J.D. Crowe & the Kentucky Mountain Boys a few years later. The early '70s brought Lawson a near-decade tenure with the Country Gentlemen, a stalwart traditional bluegrass outfit. In 1979, only he formed Quicksilver, a bluegrass outfit that was even more steeped in gospel tradition; by then Lawson had proclaimed himself saved by the Lord and was inflamed with a sense of mission. His love for God put a noticeable amount of feeling and power into his pristine harmonies, as heard on 1998's <I>Gospel Radio Gems</I>, which focused more on gospel and much less on bluegrass. The cool thing about that album is that it was recorded using the traditional approach of playing and singing live into only one (vintage) microphone. Lawson continues to record and perform spiritual-laden bluegrass with Quicksilver and also hosts the annual Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver bluegrass festival in Denton, North Carolina.

<description><![CDATA[Singer-guitarist Del McCoury's dedication to Traditional Bluegrass, manifested in an almost relentless touring and recording schedule, has made him one of the most popular artists of the genre. McCoury was a banjo player until he and his band were hired to back the legendary Bill Monroe in the early 1960s. McCoury switched to rhythm guitar and lead vocals while learning to lead a band straight from the source. His current band is a family affair, with sons Ronnie and Robbie on mandolin and banjo, respectively. The band mixes sizzling instrumental interplay with the kind of uncannily close harmonies that seem unique to those between family members.

<description><![CDATA[This band is made up of veterans of several high-profile Bluegrass bands, including Alison Krauss & Union Station and the Cox Family. They play straight-ahead Bluegrass and make some forays into country music; the instrumental work is frankly mind-boggling. The band can play at unearthly tempos and still retain a sense of subtlety and melodic invention. The singing is also exceedingly strong, even outshining the instrumental work with richly layered harmonies and soulful leads. Their original material has the familiar feel of instant classics.

<description><![CDATA[Featuring banjo player J.D. Crow, guitarist Tony Rice, mandolin player Doyle Lawson, fiddle player Bobby Hicks, and bassist Todd Phillips, this stiffly named combo is, in fact, a mega group of super pickers best known for playing Progressive Bluegrass. Despite the fact that nearly all of these musicians lead their own groups, they come together seamlessly. On several other records, they show off their more traditional side, playing songs that give the nod to Bluegrass granddaddies such as Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe and the Osborne Brothers.

<description><![CDATA[This group brought the same sort of passion and virtuoso picking to the Traditional Bluegrass canon that their more progressive contemporaries such as the Seldom Scene and Newgrass Revival brought to their more experimental stuff. This made the group a favorite of both Traditional and Progressive fans.

<description><![CDATA[Upon first listen, this Cowpunk Bluegrass band may seem novel, but upon repeated listening...well actually, they are pretty novel. Nasal, affected singing joins with fast-paced acoustic guitar strumming and white-lightning banjo picking. The bass thumps like a nouveau washbasin contraption.

<description><![CDATA[Years before the term (or even the notion of ) Progressive Bluegrass existed, the Country Gentlemen were pioneering it. Like many Folk Revival players of the late '50s and early '60s, the Country Gentlemen were turned on to Bluegrass via folk music. While their more popular contemporaries were stuck playing "Tom Dooley" in v-neck sweaters on college campuses, the Country Gentlemen dipped so deep into Bluegrass music that they became gifted Bluegrass musicians and singers. Although they've gone through more lineup changes than Deep Purple, the band still records and plays Bluegrass festivals.

<description><![CDATA[A staple of the Rounder Records roster since their inception in 1976, the Dry Branch Fire Squad is still a beloved act today, performing authentic mountain Bluegrass with a strong Appalachian flavor. Personnel changes have changed the face of the group, but the stellar playing and shotgun accuracy of their covers and originals catalog have remained a constant throughout the years.

<description><![CDATA[One of Country Rock's pioneers along with Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman's work with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers helped bring country to an audience that had previously dismissed it as hillbilly music. At the age of 17, Hillman hooked up with seminal string picker Vern Gosdin and a bluegrass outfit that came to be called the Hillmen after it was obvious that Hillman's exquisite mandolin playing was the prominent feature of the band. Following stints with the Hillmen, the Byrds, the Burritos, Manassas and the Souther Hillman Furay band, Hillman went solo before forming the Cosmic American musical outfit Desert Rose Band with Herb Pederson. With its open chords, his music rings brightly and evokes yesterday's spiritual, front porch twang, and his close, high-lonesome vocal harmonies can only be challenged by the Louvin and Everly Brothers. Hillman's songs are still ablaze with chiming, rustic instrumentation and soaring Americana passion.

<description><![CDATA[Louisiana's Cox Family weave Gospel harmonies into their already soaring Bluegrass sound and arrive at a distinctive and arresting sound of their own. The group, which comprises patriarch Willard Cox, his son Sydney, and daughters Eviler and Suzanne, are all excellent instrumentalists. But their uncanny harmonizing skills have brought them the measure of fame and fortune that sets them apart from much of the Bluegrass world. They were "discovered" by Bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss, who brought them to Rounder Records, as well as produced a number of their albums.

<description><![CDATA[Once thought as that little kid with the mandolin, Chris Thile has matured into a band leader (Nickel Creek) and now a solo recording artist who continues to develop his own unique style. On the heels of Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews and other neo-bluegrass fusion musicians, Chris Thile has expanded upon his early roots beginnings to include jazz fusion and indie/alternative meanderings. His fourth solo CD, <I>Deceiver</I>, while still on the independent bluegrass/country label Sugar Hill, carries a modern sound befitting someone in their early twenties regardless of their musical leanings. Thile's latest batch of lyrics are steeped in rebellious angst and emo romance, while still making a respectful nod to the sounds of the old traditional waltzes and reels of his youth. It's exciting to watch this virtuoso musician grow up, grab hair gel and leap between genres, heading toward becoming a neo-eclectic alt star on his own terms. Already a mature old-timer as a songwriter and performer, Chris Thile seems determined to sow his musical oats in new ground without letting anyone set any expectations on what he should be bringing to their ears.

<description><![CDATA[He began his career playing banjo with a variety of bluegrass bands, including the Sunny Mountain Boys, the Kentucky Mountain Boys and probably a few other bands with "mountain boys" in the name. But J.D. Crowe was no traditionalist -- though his playing could possess all the foot-stomping finger-ferocity of his main influence Earl Scruggs, Crowe was determined to expand the genre. When <I>J.D. Crowe & the New South</I> first came out in the mid-1970s, Bluegrass was permanently changed, for Crowe drew on rock, blues and jazz for a more richly varied style similar to what David Grisman was doing with his "Dawg" music. The New South became a launching pad for many of Bluegrass's most enduring stars -- the original lineup featured Jerry Douglas on dobro, Tony Rice on guitar and vocals, and Bobby Sloan on fiddle. Crowe is mostly a studio cat these days, but occasional concerts continue to prove his rolling mastery of the banjo.

<description><![CDATA[Laurie Lewis specializes in breathing new life into country music's old-timey sounds. By playing musical hopscotch with genres such as Western Swing Revival, New Traditional Bluegrass, Tejano, Old-Time Revival, and Cajun/Zydeco, Lewis' Americana is almost impossible to paint into a specific corner. Her elastic voice, however, can easily be pigeonholed into the category of "heavenly."

<description><![CDATA[Much like Doug Dillard, Bill Keith revolutionized Bluegrass music with his signature style of banjo playing. He is famous for approximating a fiddle's melody through various stringed instruments, which eventually led to his unique style of banjo picking. The "Keith" style is now used by many Bluegrass musicians who prefer to bust out of the genre's purist margins and into Progressive Bluegrass. Like Clarence White's B-bender playing or Chris Hillman's mandolin picking, Keith's instrumental style is virtuosic and pioneering. He began playing in the late 1950s with a college campus set of folkniks known as the Connecticut Folklore Society, and he continues to perform today with Alt Country/Bluegrass band Long Overdue.

<description><![CDATA[This band features former members of the Hillman (first musical home of Chris Hillman of the Byrds) and the Gosdin Brothers. Very popular on the Bluegrass circuit in the 1970s, the group is powered by dynamic vocal harmonies and tight, driven playing.

<description><![CDATA[Mutual Admiration Society are Glen Phillips (singer for Toad the Wet Sprocket) and the prodigious kids from Nickel Creek coming together to make bluegrass-tinged folk songs that thrive in the beauty of sparse moods, subtle textures and traditional acoustic musicianship. Listening to Sara and Sean Watkins and Chris Thile back up Phillips' introspective inflections with heavenly harmonies makes you wonder if he's getting something musically from them that his former band couldn't give him. Thile admits that in his youth he would listen to (and sing along with) Toad the Wet Sprocket CDs while mowing the lawn. His bandmates say they also grew up with an adolescent adoration for Toad the Wet Sprocket and that before Nickel Creek concerts they would jam out T.T.W.S. songs just for fun. During one of these pre-show warm-ups, a friend of Phillips' heard Nickel Creek playing his songs and consequently put them all in touch. The quartet recorded what became the Mutual Admiration Society sessions in Phillips' garage without any pre-production.

<description><![CDATA[Singer-songwriter and guitarist Morris has a rich alto drawl. Her music is a savvy blend of Traditional Bluegrass, folk and country featuring hook-filled songs and tasteful playing. The combination works well because Morris doesn't have the usual nasal twang associated with Bluegrass. She sounds more like a country singer fronting a Bluegrass band.

<description><![CDATA[Western Swing-leaning Bluegrass from a Rounder Records band who put out their first album in 1957. With a thirty-six year gap between records, Warrior River Boys may not offer the most voluminous catalog, but what they do have on tape is certainly worth hearing for fans of old-fashioned country and western music.

<description><![CDATA[The Freighthoppers are an old-timey quartet that keep the hobo musical torch (or tire, rather) burning brightly. Their toothless "Jimmy Crack Corn" antics surface in the combination of banjo, fiddle, stand-up bass, and guitar pickings that form a musical museum of old folkie standards and traditional American songs. Towering male/female vocal harmonies are organic and executed with the utmost finesse. From listening to these tracks, it's obvious the band are not performing this music for the sake of novelty, but for the pure passion of recapturing days long gone by.

<description><![CDATA[Known for their tight playing, stellar harmonies and adventurous song choices (they've covered Guns N' Roses, for example), this newgrass outfit has become a fixture on New York City's roots scene. In 2008, Astrograss released a family-friendly album that gained them currency among an entirely new set of fans: kids.

<description><![CDATA[This band is essentially a supergroup of West Coast Bluegrass and acoustic musicians doing traditional songs with an emphasis on hot picking and tight three- and four-part harmonies. Stand-out playing and singing from mandolinist David Grisman, banjoist Herb Pederson, and special guest the late Jerry Garcia on acoustic guitar and vocals.

<description><![CDATA[Fiddle player Kenny Baker, an A-list session musician, did a stint as one of Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys and was also a member of Nashville crooner Don Gibson's band. His playing reflects the gamut of country music, from rustic Bluegrass to sophisticated Western Swing.

<description><![CDATA[Martin is a Bluegrass and country fiddle player whose virtuoso chops earned him sideman positions with artists including Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and country star Kitty Wells. Martin, a member of the Grand Ole Opry, is a wonderful singer, with a warm baritone voice and a casual, laid-back delivery. Martin is at home with dazzlingly fast Bluegrass as well as country ballads. He is also known for inventing an 8-string violin which used doubled strings in a way similar to that of a mandolin.

<description><![CDATA[The Crooked Jades are a newgrass ensemble from the San Francisco Bay Area whose cast rotates around its central figure, guitarist/vocalist Jeff Kazor. Their focus has been spinning old and new sounds into a single cloth -- evident in the mix of traditional and original songs in their repertoire. Released in 2000, <i>Seven Sisters: A Kentucky Portrait</i> is the soundtrack to an award-winning documentary film of the same name. Their next two albums, <i>The Unfortunate Rake: Vol. 1</i> and <i>Vol. 2</i> -- released in 2000 and 2003, respectively -- were co-produced by songwriter and ex-San Franciscan Richard Buckner, whose own forays into Americana have been eclectic and varied. A self-titled EP followed in 2005 and <i>World's on Fire</i> a year later. Often compared musically to Gillian Welch and the New Lost City Ramblers, the Crooked Jades are well acquainted with roots and folk festivals the world over.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A classic Americana sound that effortlessly segues from Country-Folk to Bluegrass to some more Honky-Tonk inspired Americana. Gove's voice is exuberant and meaty. His back-line is composed of a comforting twang that seems to emanate from every instrument, especially his majestic sounding steel guitar player.

<description><![CDATA[Begun after he had served his Bluegrass apprenticeships under Ralph Stanley and J.D. Crowe, Boone Creek was Ricky Skaggs' first group as a leader. In this group, he expanded his definition of Bluegrass to include electric instrumentation and drums. Also notable is the fact that Boone Creek member/dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas has since gone on to become a player almost without peer.
