North Branch Bluegrass Festival
2008-05-09 13:45:00 Yay!! A new bluegrass event in Vermont! And one that is traditional bluegrass, not just a bunch of kids experimenting with bluegrass sounds. I am not saying I don't appreciate that as well, but there is something about watching more seasoned folks play from tradition in the back of a local farmer's barn that just twangs at your soul and makes you want to dance without your shoes and keep an eye out for moonshine.Promising "nine hours of quality music," Bridgewater Corner couple, Randy and Heather Kennedy, are holding the First Annual North Branch Bluegrass Festival on Bud Jenne's Fields in Bridgewater Corners. How can you not love how that sounds??? The festival is happening, rain or shine, on Saturday, June 21st. No camping this year, but maybe in years to come, no dogs either which is good because it can be a pain in the arse when everyone brings their dogs. The event is family friendly and workshops will be offered throughout the festival. People are encouraged to brin...

2008-01-09 04:15:00 Rhonda Vincent has recorded excellent albums in both the bluegrass and country genres and infuses her bluegrass work with country elements. Her tendency to incorporate country instead of pop elements into her bluegrass may explain why Vincent has not achieved the same widespread acclaim as Alison Krauss, for she is at least Ms. Krauss?s equal ...

The best bluegrass song: Rank Strangers- Stanley brothers
2007-11-19 10:57:00 I'd never been exposed to bluegrass music beyond what bits popped up in movies so my first hearing of Rank Strangers was an exciting revelation, opening a whole wilderness of unexplored music for me. I chose this as my first song in this section hoping it will do the same for you. As far as the music itself: The guitar is great, of course, and the singing has a wonderful nasal twang. The stop and start between the opening and the brief guitar solo is understated and effective. => Read more!

Senate Watch: Bluegrass Battle Looming
2007-11-05 19:41:00 Mitch McConnell is minority leader in the Senate, the top-ranked Republican in Congress. He is a four term incumbent with a massive campaign chest to the tune of $6.8 million. After winning his first election by the thinnest of margins in 1984, he has increased his victory total each cycle and won in 2002 by nearly 30 points. McConnell doesn't even have an opponent yet, but he could be one of the most vulnerable Senate incumbents in 2008.Democrats are hoping history repeats itself in 2008. Four years ago, it was their minority leader, Tom Daschle, who was knocked off in South Dakota. Daschle was doomed because he had become the figurehead of a national party that had become unpopular in his home state. Now it is McConnell who finds himself the figurehead of a national party that is increasingly unpopular. Though President Bush carried Kentucky by 20 points in 2004, his popularity in the state has fallen sharply since then. Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher is nearing the e...

EL "DOCTOR" DE LA MÚSICA BLUEGRASS
2007-05-05 22:09:00 RALPH STANLEY Y LOS CLINCH MOUNTAIN BOYS.¿Conocéis la música bluegrass? Sí, ya sé que se traduce como "hierba azul". Pero más va a sonaros a música de vaqueros y de pelis del oeste. Cosas del cine, porque esta música se desarrolló más bien en algunos estados del sudeste de los Estados Unidos, como Kentucky y Virginia. Da igual, porque en el fondo sus raíces llegan de bien lejos: parten de las tonadas que ingleses y sobre todo irlandeses llevaron con ellos a América. Por eso, suena algo a celta, aunque recuerda mucho más a la música country. De esta mezcla proceden los instrumentos, el violín, la mandolina, el banjo o las guitarras... mucha cuerda como veis.Pues bien, si hay un verdadero doctor del bluegrass ese es sin duda ninguna el veterano y venerable Ralph Stanley, con más de 55 años de profesión a las espaldas. En sus actuaciones con su grupo (los Clinch Mountain Boys) suele usar un típico sombrero virginiano (vaquero, diríamos) y acostumbra a iniciar cada canción con una ciert...

Merle Haggard Going Bluegrass And Alan Jackson Teams Up Wth Brooks & Dunn
2007-03-02 11:31:02 Can you think of a bigger badass than Kris Kristofferson? Yea, me neither. He’s had an accomplished career as a songwriter, singer, and actor. He is a Rhodes scholar and could have had a promising career in the military had he not turned it down for doing something he’s passionate about. Star-Telegram.com has an article about his career, his plans for the future, a tour he’s going on (that unfortunately doesn’t include Texas), and Johnny Cash. Early in his Nashville days, before the hits started coming for one of America’s most accomplished songwriters, Kristofferson received a stern epistle from his mother. It was cleanly typed, single-spaced and to the point. She was admonishing her son, no less than a Rhodes scholar, for scrapping a promising military career to write songs in Music City. Somewhere in the body of the letter was a reference to Johnny Cash that was not the least bit flattering. … “I was in the old studio at Columbia one day,...
