      @ ….. Thankyou ! It’s 0530 in my morning and what a great way to kickstart my day. Andreas has a voice to rival Joe Cocker (don’t know how old you are - but that’s good). Thanks for a heads up on a great singer and the band on his video is no slouch either.

      I'm a banjo player. A lot of what he was doing were using pretty standard bluegrass rolls for banjo. But assembling them into order for songs like this in a cover...he basically had to reverse engineer the song and teach himself to play it. Not easy. And all of the musicians had to do that. Using runs they are familiar with, but reassembling them in a way that adapts to how different a song like this from bluegrass. These cover and pickin' on guys are pretty much the peak of musicians. It's not at all easy, and I couldn't do it like this I don't think. Not without a LOT of work.

      Kris Nelson Kentucky bluegrass has its background influence mixed from Irish, Scots, European, And African blues music. But it's a very young American genre of music from around the 1940's. Yeah, there's always been music from the immigrants that came to the mountains around here, but that's not bluegrass. Bluegrass is purely American, mixed from everything.

      Yeah… I hate bluegrass!!! Well… NOT so much the music but the “bluegrass musician”, if you will, due to the simple fact that my wife left me because a “bluegrass musicians” was “fingering the holy F out of her g-stringed instrument” one night, thus she NEVER returned home to me after that one night of fingered ecstasy that he provided her with!!! So, if you take away anything from my story, PLEASE just let it be, “do NOT let the lady you love around nobody that plays in a bluegrass band!!!”. Your relationship may very well suffer the same exact fate as mine!!! I still cry like a big ol’ baby every time I hear a bluegrass song!!! 😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪💯💯💯

    I hired a gentleman to remodel my log house several years ago in North Carolina. He was very polite and a great at his craft. I was a pharmacist at the time (now retired) and on my days off he and his helper would be in another room working and listening to nothing but bluegrass on their radio. At first it drove me crazy, but after a couple of weeks, I kinda looked forward to hearing it. Then the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou came out and well I've been listening to and loving bluegrass ever since. This is a wonder cover.

      I think what he means is this is music they are performing from raw talent. No computer generated over tracks. No voice altering technology. Just some talented guys playing music how they enjoy playing it. one does not need to be a bluegrass music fan to appreciate the quality with which they play.

    • @scotttaylor5997
      @scotttaylor5997 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bluegrass has not been around that long by name but it's rooted in what they call old time music. the appellations was first settled by the Irish so if you lesson close you can hear Irish folk music in it. I like the older bluegrass that is in three four time. Some times just how a song is played can change the sound. example: Mountain Heart playing whipping post. They are a Bluegrass band but some songs they mix a little old style Blues with it.
