It makes me think of a pirate ship making port in a shanty town. Maybe a young sailor swinging about in his hammock playing his lute but then more of the crew shows up carrying the assorted instruments adding to the complexity of the melody.
Yo Yo Ma uses his musical celebrity and contacts like a true artist. To bring together the best and explore new ground. An endeavour that is always more than just its own reward, and our great benefit. I wish there were more like him, musicians willing to escape their comfort zones, and egos, to make great new music.
@ionvkch People complaining about how the commercialization of music, and how it makes music less enjoyable, are the reason why I enjoy music less.
Also, I will GLADLY be a human product, you're talking like some company just takes over people's minds, no. People support company's, the kind of human products people become are those that the apple fanboys reflect, something that makes them happy. So shuut up, and stop contributing to the youtube stereotype.
@ionvkch WHY does it fucking matter? Not every body is going to stumble upon great music. So what if they got it from Colbert Report? I did. Does that mean I have any less right to listen to it then you do? You selfish ass. Quit acting like the music belongs to you. Be happy that the album is getting all of this attention and quit bitching. Smoke a blunt and relax.
I think this song shows off more of the Celtic roots of Bluegrass than being Bluegrass. I'm not a fan of BG, but I dig this. I also like the Eastern tinge added in the beginning with the mandolin and a little bit of the cello later on.
I am very grateful to have been surfing through radio stations in my car last night when I stumbled upon this. I looked them up as soon as I got home. Absolutely love it.
Just to clear something up, a 'goat rodeo' technically means an "especially chaotic situation, typically in a corporate or bureaucratic setting." (quoted from Wikipedia) :)
It's funny. When Yo Yo Ma said that this was totally American, I was like "No way, dude. NOTHING is TOTALLY American BUT the Flag, the song "I'm Proud to Be an American," and the national anthem and then I heard this and I was like "OMG, THIS IS TOTALLY AMERICAN!!!!"
