Since the discussion of bluegrass came up here, this is an interesting piece I came across recently. This is considered to be a bluegrass band, but it's very modern and artsy bluegrass.



I even ended up using the song for a video I made recently.

Spent most of my time exploring music in 2015 focusing on the roots revival of the late 60s / early 70s, the reincorporation of southern American styles into rock and roll post-Beatlemania / British Invasion. The early collaborations of Duane Allman and various R&B musicians in the 60s, the dazzling complexity of blues and jazz fusions by The Allman Brothers Band, the amazing country flavored soundscapes produced in Nashville with The Beau Brummels, the weird crossroads of traditional country and psychedelic rock explored by The Byrds, the fast paced and precise jams of Poco, the thick acoustic textures combining folk rock, old western styles, and blues by America, the nostalgic and playful nods to New Orlean's ragtime, blues, and country by The Band, CCR, and Dr. John, the bizarre combinations of funk, soul, gospel, blues, and country by Bobbie Gentry, the massively thick fuzz injected jams of Canned Heat, the incorporation of country and blues styles into Humble Pie's boogie rock. This thread is for examples of rock and roll pulling inspiration from traditional blues, country, gosepl, R&B, soul, bluegrass, western swing, and jazz.

Wow, I heard Gene Clark's No Other for the first time yesterday and I'm blown away, so much so that I listened to it once more front to back immediately after it was over, and then again front to back this morning. I don't know a whole lot about Gene Clark yet, but I am a big fan of The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark, and I was pleased to hear at least some elements of Clark's rootsy delivery resurfacing in this album. The vocal lines (both lead and backup), pedal steel and piano lines, songwriting, and production are all so focused on this album, every note counts and every minute of the album is beautiful, it's a sprawling, trippy, cosmic masterpiece of mid-70s Americana. Excellent early morning or late night listening, hard to imagine that Fleetwood Mac didn't take at least some stylistic cues from this album when they were producing Rumours the following year.

I took this moniker for a reason. This version isn't the best imo, the best is just him and his guitar but sadly it's no longer on youtube/
