BTMP Bluegrass revival in the USA? (40) RE: Bluegrass revival in the USA? 16 Jan 03


I have been playing Bluegrass since the early 60s when I was a teenager. I liken the 'Brother Where Art Thou' craze to the 'Bonny & Clyde' craze of 1966 when Foggy Mt Breakdown could be heard as B&C raced away from a heist. Hey, Bluegrass has been around for quite a while and always will be, I try to tell people. But they just want to hear 'Man of Constant Sorrow' ...   It's a great song, but there are a lot of other great Bluegrass songs!

I think the person who should be thanked for 'reviving' Bluegrass is Ricky Skaggs. He gave up a lucrative country career and returned to what he loved to do, and many others have followed his lead.
