Southern Expressions 1991

More from Southern Expression Bluegrass Band. This band was also known as Southern Knights. They no longer play together, a sad loss to the bluegress genre...
Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music which has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants of Appalachia), as well as that of rural African-Americans, jazz, and blues. In bluegrass, as in jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic, rarely using electric instruments. In popular culture bluegrass has an image as a form of folk music. However, it was mostly developed by professional musicians.
