I did a quick check of the jukebox archives and saw that is woefully short on country and bluegrass. That ends now.
First one of my favorite standards. JD Crowe and the New South featuring Crowe, Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas. These guys all went on to become legends in the bluegrass world.

This one is just brilliant. A remake of Loudon Wainright III’s ‘Swimming Song’ by the Earl Scrugs Revue.

And of course I would be remiss if I didn’t share the one bluegrass song that mentions the ‘hometown of my heart’.

What year was that JD Crowe performance? I’d put it somewhere in the late 70s. Gotta love the hair and the shirts. BTW, Jerry Douglas is the MAN.Report
I’m guessing from the clothes it’s roughly 1975. Looks like how my dad’s friends all dressed when I was a little kid.
Jerry Douglas is indeed the man. I saw him with Allison Krauss when she recorded her live album here. He’s ridiculous.Report
