By now, you’ve probably gotten a sense of what I like in terms of bluegrass. High-level instrumental prowess, creative and outside-the-box songwriting, and an excellent ensemble sound are what I look for in my bluegrass favorites. Those things all apply to this list! The Steep Canyon Rangers, Dolly Parton, and Country Gazette feature on this playlist of some of my all-time favorite cuts from my all-time favorite genre. Enjoy this list of Dave’s Faves!”
