The Best Of Bluegrass - Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms

[peregriiine7]

This is one of the best fucking things I ever heard... we don't have this in Brazil =/ Esta porra é umas das melhores coisas que ja ouvi! =)

[KonigNick]

Skip to 2:40 if you don't want to hear the bullshit

[Applebaum]

Blues, jazz, gospel, folk and country had a baby and they called it Bluegrass

[Patriotpride60]

Excellent.

[sergioramiz]

WoW!! this is the coolest thing ever!!



[irgendwas4]

I see about 10000 instruments I cannot hear

[Catmando2022]

Blugrasd heaven......i could play the spoons

[John55son]

What an amazing aggregation. I dreamed I was there in Bluegrass Heaven!

[bluegrassnutt]

Yah!!



[656200]

go alison krauss!!!

[TheTongapuss]

I just came on here to enjoy some good music. All I find is stupid bloody comments about racism. Just don't mention it, or is that too much to expect.

[oblivion234brown]

Song starts at. 2:40

[DeefexNYC]

Are these guys racist? Are the people who listen to this kind of music racist?

[cornubian]

@DeefexNYC - Are you being ironic or sarcastic?

The Scotti / Irish left Britain and Ireland due to poverty. They were so poor that many became 'white slaves' to the rich English plantation owners early in the history of USA. They were called 'endentured labour' but they were basically slaves. In the circumstances truth and history it is always more complicated than we want it to be.

[DeefexNYC]

@cornubian I'm talking about here in the US. This runs with the same genre as country does. And everybody knows, the south is one hell of a place for a black man. I was just wondering if bluegrass was any different. because all the country music loving people here in the US are racist.

[fredkyle23]

@DeefexNYC this is not country music, this is bluegrass, ist more about strings and is less mainstream than country. asking if the people that listen to this music are all racist is like asking if people that listen to rap music are all black gangsters drug addicts and criminals. the answer is obviously no. most people that listen to this music listen to it more for the skill of the musicians and for the more backwoods feel of music that originated in appalachia

[DeefexNYC]

@cornubian Yeah, I'm sorry. That was a stupid comment by me. I was in a weird mood that day.

[MartinD28V1]

@DeefexNYC  Are You A Dumb A/H??

[ironmaiden947]

I want to live in this world.

[findthemonthefloor]

SO MANY FAMOUS PLAYERS! This was so great to see.

[dumont624]

j'aime bcp !!!!!

[nipperken]

Rubbish !!

[RonAck01]

Near as I can tell this video was shot in 1991. These are truly some of the greats of Bluegrass. Yes there are Irish roots in Bluegrass, although you don't hear much these days but when you listen to a lot of Bluegrass you will definitely hear it especially in the fiddle. Bluegrass is perhaps the fastest growing genre today. John Hartford died in 2001.

[TheHager1]

pathetic

[willpatmac]

Please read the letter

[Alejandro4891]

not sure if this is one hell of a hootenanny or a hoedown

[AlashBatyr]

GREAT!!! GREATEST!!!

[3bwchristopher]

I dont like this.

[vcp430]

@4:50, one of the greatest teachers for banjo there is, and a great guy to be around, Alan O'Bryant. Seriously, he is a better picker than most people think, plus his singing is great, too.

~Craig

[electroneticTV]

[terryseconds]

So if you play an instrument in bluegrass you're player of the year? Should've taken my triangle to this get together ch'all

[hipeople873]

[ksb78]

Well goddamn! How many folks is he gonna introduce?! That took up half the video! LOL!!

[DevinRobinson18]

Fuck the introduction to much talkinf

[rockenroll7]

richtig gut !!

[UBERMonkeyButtface]

American culture is characterized by it's history of immigration, and it's music reflects this beautifully.

[yeloprwlr]

this is beautiful... no fancy equipment, no autotune, no pyrotechnics, just good musicians having fun

[bakeruk87]

I wish people made music like this, 'I'm in fast company tonight'...where's the comaraderie gone?! I want to see Jimmy Page with Billy Joel and Elton john.

[Megpie909]

Why so much hate? what a legand!

[antonyport]

thanks beardyman!



[HeavyMetalBluegrass]

I never get tired of watching this vid. All super pickers indeed!

[tonybribie]

[travisimoto]

Half the video is filled with presenting the band. The music is still great though. My thumbs r up for this stuff.

[irishroverandthecrew]

Irish, Blugrass & Country - we come from the some heart !

[lordoftheriffs79]

bluegrass is almost as hard as jazz

[Shimmeringwind]

Speed metal country style. Fantastic!

[LALMCGatorsfan]

Correct if I'm wrong but it's called Bluegrass cause it started in Kentucky?

[RamsesGommers]

@LALMCGatorsfan Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass, was born in Kentucky. So you're right.

[ESETAndy]

The first three people that were introduced have more talent between them than the entire sum of all MTV VMA awards winners.

[Augalv]

@ESETAndy I couldn't agree with you more

[kalmanizer]

I'm from Brooklyn, NY and I got into Country Music when Brooklyn, NY used to have a Country Music Station and now I live in Dallas, TX and met some people that REALLY enjoyed Bluegrass Music and now I gave Bluegrass Music a chance and I LOVE it ALMOST as much as I LOVE Country Music. :)

[koradan]

BLUEGRASS!! \oo/ ( >< ) \oo/

[caryg666]

American music. Pure and simple.

[Rao665]

you can hear the scots/irish roots in it. 

[luissousa59]

@Rao665 yeah bluegrass is very irish based its great

[Saoirsegodeohf]

@luissousa59 not irish based at all dunno where u yanks are comin up with this shite. As a fan of both I see no similarities

[58coltrane]

@Saoirsegodeohf are you trolling? If not, you´re ignorant!

[StaciMarie333]

@Rao665 That's why I figure I like it lol

[Saoirsegodeohf]

@Rao665 Bullshit

[Rao665]

@Saoirsegodeohf Bulldong

[coguitarcompany]

The amount of talent on that stage is amazing. Nuff said!

[Baptista955]

Country and Bluegrass the same?!!?! Thats like saying Ghandi and Hitler had the same goal.

[Needstosleep]

That dude was slappin the SHIT out of that bass!

[MisterHuskey]

@Needstosleep Yes he was! :)

[AGW626]

Haha this is great!

[Joobalooboo]

That stand up bass solo made me wanna slap my mama.

[TetrapakProdzekt]

and whats the difference between bluegrass and country music ?

[Joobalooboo]

@TetrapakProdzekt Can you really not tell the difference??

[TetrapakProdzekt]

@Joobalooboo i guess only americans can tell the difference because its your native music, i am from europe and the rest of the world dont have any connection with this kind of music, thats like i ask you "you really dont knwo the difference between turbo folk and folk music"

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@TetrapakProdzekt

Well, it's hard to explain. Bluegrass is more primitive than mainstream country music, relying more on acoustic (non-electric) instruments. Also, bluegrass bands do not use pianos or drums. Country and bluegrass have a common ancestor, though; namely, the music that early Scottish and Irish settlers brought to North America.

[thepurplecrystalz]

@TetrapakProdzekt There ae MANY differences. Country has been soiled and it's turned into something it's not. it's fake, but used to is was good. Bluegrass will never be spoiled by the mainstream.

[BarbaraJaneP]

what, no bass player of the year? and yet at the end the bass solo rocks.

[MisterHuskey]

@BarbaraJaneP The very beginning of this video is cut off where Hartford announces Roy (bass player) won the award.

[BarbaraJaneP]

@MisterHuskey good to know. Bass players have to stick up for each other. Almost as many jokes as banjos.

[astral5ram]

great!

[diazconias]

I thoug blue grass was a style of blues; like harder or something.

[capnlumps]

old alison krauss just blows new alison krauss out of the water

[Tarald2911]

This is very unfamiliar music for me, since i am a prog rocker, but still the "folkish" tone is something that Jethro Tull has picked up quite a bit. I do find it veeeery red-neck steriotypical (in a good way), and from a person who prefer music of the seventies; that is one AWESOME bass solo! :-)

[Coolio170]

Smokey Mountains of NORTH CAROLINA!

[jasonlammons]

OF THE YEAR BAND:) BAD ASS ROCK STARS!!!!

[djchristrent]

This is the music and voices of of our ancestors and what they came over here with. Add a little church and also a little love talkin and you have the different types of blugrass. I ike the gospel on Sunday and the others talkin on the other days. My family is from Wise county Virginia and Bluegrass is a mandatory.

[MNAATTYY]

Damn!! Another gerne in my itunes list!!!!!!

[australianfan]

Great stuff ..enjoyed thanks for posting  :)

[zhimchilla]

I'm from Europe and haven't visited the US yet but when I close my eyes and imagine what it would be like, I hear this kind of music. Awesome!

[czenic]

68 people still think that grass is green

[htmldude]

BASS SOLO. :D

[rocmaven]

ricky skaggs comes to watseka theatre watseka illinois on aug 26

[JARRODandSTUFF]

68 people must be born and raised in ATL or NYC

[Westernwayofwar]

This is so awesome I need a cold shower followed by a hot bath followed by a whiskey followed by more of this!

[gypsiecat1]

blue grass is part of what makes america so good its pure soul music. It's like going home after a long journey.

[grafikfeat]

Wow.

That's all I got.

[dixielandfootie]

So weird to see Alison Krauss with the 80's friz. Still love this video.

[Reaperandslayer]

First time listening to Bluegrass, and I must say this sounds darn good. I mostly like metal, but darn it this is damn good.

[kaysandesses]

@Reaperandslayer I like a lot of different types of music. If you want to find out more about bluegrass then do some looking around at the people mentioned in the video description. It's a veritable "Who's who", though not an exhaustive list. Listen and enjoy!

[Reaperandslayer]

@kaysandesses Thank you for your respond. I will make sure to look up for more.

[666euronymous]

@Reaperandslayer Metal people usually recognize true music from bullshit, this is good stuff

[MetalCake166]

@Reaperandslayer I hear yah. I came here after hearing Edguy's "Pandora's Box." Damn good music indeed.

[NoobAssassins]

@Reaperandslayer Same on everything, except the first time part :P

[1madeintheimage]

@Reaperandslayer I know what ya mean! I grew up w/ this kind've music,then I heard "Van Halen" in 6th grade and got into rock and metal! But I always knew the rawpower in this deceptively simple music!

[FrenziedNarwhal]

@Reaperandslayer People really don't realize the technical skill that you need to play bluegrass. It's fantastic. Just don't relate bluegrass to country...country is shit.

[mascafe18]

@FrenziedNarwhal

YOU ARE A HILLBILLY

[cellopwns]

@FrenziedNarwhal im sorry im new to bluegrass as well but what is the difference between the two?

[Ravalat]

@Reaperandslayer sorry you weren't introduced to bluegrass earlier.. Im a metalhead myself, but i grew up in a bluegrass town so i've seen alot of this throughout my life. some bluegrass players melt my face just as good as some metal solos.

[Tarttelinknot666]

@Reaperandslayer dude i'm like you i love punk and metal but hell yeah this bluegrass is pretty awesome :D

[4ccur4acy]

@Reaperandslayer Why say "darn" twice, and then digress to "damn" in the very same sentence?

"Darn it this is damn good." If there is any good left in this world, try not to damn it.

[sgtscream1291]

this is so good!

[Kulopto]

I loved it when people get owned in the comments.

[wankatronic]

gotta love Stu Bob's mullet

[AnimeEyes143]

I am not too much into bluegrass, but this just makes me want to clap my hands be happy : )

I mean come on who can say no to a banjo?

[jastanger]

Does anyone know what year this is from?

[vin1919]

@jastanger From what I can see, I would guess 1984- 87, somewhere in those years. That is the best I can offer.

[donnyaldridge]

@vin1919 This was in 91'..

[MsVenabili]

@KanyeTroll bluegrass ain't a band, it's a music genre. Fucken coon.

[feh2]

@JimmyDeLocke

Oh lord here we go..

[2HVe]

The bass solo is awesome!!

[TBrewer64]

It is totally dark and there is only sound.

[TBrewer64]

[RonnieBrewerFan]

Good lord at all the introductions.

[HunterKage]

@RonnieBrewerFan Thats bluegrass for ya

lol

[Digityus]

When i first heard Jimi Hendrix, i asked my dad to buy me a Fender electric. But before that, I had a Gibson acoustic because I watched Hee-Haw. Now I have both and learning the Sitar because I listen to Ravi Shanker. Now i can't imagine a life without playing. All because of bluegrass.

[tigtig33]

I grew up Country,... but noticed I like Rock and Roll...Then realized I love music...

[pontyfaxjr]

Madolins look really uncomfortable to play!

[sliknutzzzz]
