Here are three more favorites of mine...

"Orange Blossom Special" by the Stanley Brothers. Some of the sickest banjo and fiddle playing you'll ever hear.




"Dooley" by The Dillards. This is basically the appalachian version of a narcocorrido which is interesting from sort of a sociological standpoint. The fact that the banjo melody is so gorgeous doesn't hurt either.




"Will the Circle Be Unbroken" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The album version of this song is better but this was all I could find on YouTube. Still pretty good. I'm rarely ever moved by religious songs but this is one of the that really does it for me.
