"We Bid You Goodnight"
Category: music
How funny that (e:mrmike) would post that title... The Grateful Dead version of this American traditional has been on an inaccessible edge of my consciousness since posting all those bluegrass tunes.

The video on this is terrible but the sound quality seems to be better than average. Alpine Valley, 1989.

I love that song, too. It does stay with ya.

I enjoy seeing Sonic Garden and was kinda annoyed to have missed that St. Paddy's show. Dark Star Orchestra @ Canalside this summer... It may be the closest I get to Dead show until fall.

Love the song,especially their version of it. sonic garden did it on St. Pat's day and it's been in my head ever since

tinypliny - 05/26/11 20:22

A completely different music...
Category: music


My bff, her hubby & I are considering the DC show of this festival

If I've turned you on to bluegrass, you might want to consider the Hickory Festival (HickFest for short) Aug. 19-21 in Tioga County.

More bluegrass
Category: home
Uncle Pen is another classic. Here's a 1956 Bill Monroe version.


And a 1990 Phish version (using rock instruments)


A nice description of the difference between bluegrass & country and how they developed:

I think this old country tune nicely illustrates the difference: Buck Owens played I've Got a Tiger by the Tail on The Dukes of Hazard. (This is one of A's favorites and he always makes his bands play it.)


Midnight Moonlight (Old & in the Way version 1973 - Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, John Kahn.)


A more modern style: Ain't No Bugs on Me, Garcia & Grisman, Not for Kids Only [(e:enknot), (e:lilho), (e:hodown), (e:metalpeter) - you need this album for all the little ones!]


Another Garcia/Grisman, Grateful Dawg, live 1990.

They're more genre-defying while using the instruments of bluegrass. Amazing artists. What's really fun is tracing all the traditionals that the Grateful Dead covered. I know a lot more old country than I want to admit.

As I side note I have the digital music that everyone gets but most forget about with cable and I have looked for a blue grass station but never found one..... To me country (before the same producers and writers starting working in multiple genres) I didn't like cause of how they sing but they don't sing like that in blue grass or rockabilly or hill billy rock and roll.................
metalpeter - 05/04/11 19:27
Yes.... When I think of Rockabilly and I'm sure this is kinda wrong cause I can't split music up very well I think of all that sort of music in movies like kill Bill and pulp fiction....... I get that there is a lot of cross over..... The only and some would beg to differ blue grass I know is like o' brother where art thou and then I never got it but I heard They came out with a female version called o'sister or something like that with no movie tie in.....
heidi - 05/04/11 18:23
Are you thinking of rockabilly?
metalpeter - 05/04/11 17:11
That link was interesting ..... Some music is called like Hillbilly rock If someone has a guitar and Banjo and base what is it? Or something that looks like a base with strings and some kind of base to it....
