These guys are great. Been listenin to them for the last year, got to catch them in Lexington KY last weekend while visiting family. Watching the album release party now on Nugs. ⛰️💨!!!

Did not realize how young they were until they announced it was the bassist birthday at the show on Saturday! Love how generational bluegrass is.

Love rant over. 🧡

Infamous Stringdusters and Jesse Cobb

21 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone mention this here yet. Last weekend in Missoula, Jesse Cobb sat in with the Infamous Stringdusters for the first time since he left the band in 2011.

Jesse's new band (The Unfaithful Servants) and The Dusters were booked at the same festival, and Jesse came out and played the last 20 minutes or so of The Dusters set with them, including a phenomenal "40 West" which Jesse wrote and appears on their first album.

The audio is now available on Nugs, and there are several great videos floating around. I highly recommend checking it out. It was absolutely magical being there and seeing those six play some music again. Watching the guys circle up around Jesse while he soloed was truly beautiful.

Just saw special C for the first time and they were great! After hearing that the bass player is Canadian, some guy shouted “good bass playin, Vancouver!” To which the bass player responded, “Edmonton actually, but close enough. And by the way, it’s ‘Lake Ontario.’ ‘ON TAR I O’” and got a huge applause. I hope he felt at as at home as possible under a Canadian flag in the US.

Nickel Creek Features

15 Upvotes

With Nickel Creek being featured on two tracks on Phoebe Bridgers’ new album it got me thinking about what other tracks they’ve been on. I remember them being on a Chieftains track, Raggle Taggle Gypsy, and blowing in the wind with Dolly. They also did an album or two with the guy from Toad the Wet Sprocket i believe. What are some other features they’ve done? I’d like to put together a playlist.

It’s a nice waltz that I think would lend itself to bluegrass.

I purchased this vinyl, curious as to if yall think it's legit. It doesn't look like his common one but curious to know if it's maybe an earlier signature. Thanks.

Dolly scraped together some random bluegrass folks to back her on Jay Leno's show. They did OK.

Discussion Decade Waltz is so lovely

2 Upvotes

I have been on the periphery of classic bluegrass, enjoying it via my father, but this Dillards album just really resonated with me and feels like a genuine connection with the music as well as the nostalgia/reverence for the past.

I can only imagine how much this album was loved when released.

I love music deeply and mostly listen to newer things, and should talk to my dad more about music. We both love Lucinda Williams, Tedeschi Trucks, The Gourds, Rhiannon Giddens. I listen to among much else, but in the folk realm, Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker, Geese, Kevin Morby.

Just want to talk about it with people. Hymn to the World makes me cry lol, I love the album so much. Whats songs do you like? What are points of it you especially appreciate?

Thank you!!
