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. - Jessy TerryProgressive Bluegrassen720Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:20:29 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10500&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fjd-crowe%2Fplaylists.rss 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.
