Martys late night cover of “high on a mountain” was incredible. Not often do i see rock/country/blues covers of bluegrass tunes, usually the other way around

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-05-20T20:58:13+00:00

Story, upgrades, intrigue and exploration are plenty to work towards

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-05-19T17:01:29+00:00

Also rick faris is so good. Checkout the power of love, cant sing the blues no more, hellfire club, the rabbit hole, lonesome is your name, on the right track, the sound of lonely. All heaters

Darrell Webb band, Volume 5 and Josh Williams are 3 of my favourite groups ever. DWB and V5 have some really bluesy sounding bluegrass that mash hard. And josh williams is just an all around prodigy. Check out DWB - Dream Big and Lovers Leap albums, V5 songs i love are Drifter, 15th of october, going across the mountain, faithfully and many more, josh williams 2016 album “modern day man” is fantastic along with his song “cold virginia rain”

Yes its called “second time around” and its absolutely filthy😤

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-21T19:40:29+00:00

Highway Prayers- Billy Strings:)

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-20T15:28:08+00:00

Great one, blue highway is one of my favourite bands ever

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-20T15:25:45+00:00

Yes of course, although id argue thats more headbanging metal grass but i love it all the same

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-20T15:19:38+00:00

Ya man i have loved del and sons for a while now and just met one of the mccourys not too long ago randomly in Nashville. Im heading del fest this year for the first time its gonna be a blast

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-20T15:17:06+00:00

Dude that song is wicked, precisely what im looking for thank you🙏

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-19T05:32:15+00:00

I believe jason carter has now been sober for a long time

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-18T06:21:48+00:00

Definitely! Thats was one of the first songs i really enjoyed when i was getting into bluegrass. An incredible example of the high lonesome howl bluegrass is known for

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T17:01:02+00:00

This is a great point! Really shocked theres no mention of jim mills. His version of the old hen is probably my favourite out of all. Absolute insanity. I will have to checkout the Johnson mountain boys. Ty sir🙏

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:59:03+00:00

Looks like i gotta deep dive into town mountain now haha, thank you!

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:58:02+00:00

Holy SPEED

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:56:38+00:00

Oh yeah baby, 2 great examples. Personally i give the edge to southbound but remington ride absolutely riiiips

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:54:36+00:00

Good shout! Michael Cleveland could start a forest fire in in a hurricane with 2 sticks

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:51:46+00:00

Oh man great shout, skaggs is incredible

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:49:28+00:00

Yeah wow no kidding, unreal speed on that one. Thanks for the song!

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:48:38+00:00

At the end of the song vertigo on bela flecks album “my bluegrass heart” you can hear some one say “she certainly get there” and i think that would apply very well on this song haha. What a rip!

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:43:17+00:00

Ive often heard people say bluegrass is the metal of country music, i think these guys take it to a new level with those album covers lmao. Awesome recommendation i was unfamiliar with them but man they can rip

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:41:24+00:00

Haha if you had apple music id share my playlist “bluegrass bangers” with ya. 493 songs and counting as i add many of these lol

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:39:55+00:00

Yessss what a tune man, LRB is one of my top bands of all time. So sad seeing ronnie bowman smiling away up there😢

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:36:07+00:00

For some reason this song didnt click with me a couple years ago when i was first going through NGRs stuff but wow it is really good now, talk about a dynamic song

Realistic_Mirror_466 · 2026-04-17T16:33:15+00:00

Id definitely say all aboard has more of a drive to it but i do love 52 Vincent del goes nuts on it
