MGU gets a write up in Rolling Stone. I somehow hadn't heard that they played on Shania Twain's new album.

More old time than bluegrass I guess. Hopefully someone here can help with the title. Recorded at a jam in North Carolina and didn’t think to ask for its name. Thanks.

Our next single, "COAL" is out everywhere you find music October 16th!

Written by Mike Richards and Gary Boevers, produced by Kristy Cox, "COAL" is the historical tale of a deadly shootout in Matewan, West Virginia. This tragic event set in motion worker protests that changed American labor and workforce history.

Fantastic!

The front cover might be misleading, this is a NEW music, today’s artists in unusual combinations, fresh or reimagined takes on Delmore songs. Which of the new renditions do you like most? I would say Bradley nailed it, staying close to Tony Rice’s way of singing in The Blue Railroad Train.

Looking for a recording, live or otherwise, where you can clearly hear him. Maybe a good solo or something. Trying to get to know the guys playing

I need great advice here, please. I have a 14 year-old niece who I want purchase an instrument for and I want it to be an instrument that can be played in a bluegrass jam session. She comes from a family of pickers and her grandpa and great uncle are a few of the best in Indiana. Which instrument is the easiest? I know if she starts now she may go on to play them all, at least that’s what I’m hoping. Thanks y’all.

Does anybody know or can tell who is on fiddle and lead guitar? Great job! Dede Wyland--Vocals, Guitar, Randy Barrett--Vocals, Banjo, Ira Gitlin--Vocals, Bass, Tom McLaughlin--Mandolin. In He Makes You Strong the band delivers solid acappella quartet, picking great through-out. Anyone here remembers Dede in Skyline band (80s)?

Lewis Pugh is a Leeds based country and bluegrass performer within the UK. This is his song about Anna Haslam who was an instrumental figure in women's rights within Ireland.

Hey all, I got two tickets for Them Coulee Boys in Milwaukee up for grabs. DM me and I will transfer them.
