Theater quality acoustics & the leanness of brevity in lineup, added up to a version of this tune which burned every bit as bright!

    Sierra's been one of our favorite mandolin players (she kills a guitar as well) since she was a teenager but her vocals have improved steadily and her singing confidence has grown to the point the voice is equal to her playing. She's one of our favorite female musicians. And Molly...what else can you say. Unbelievable voice and guitar. Their voices really work together. Billy's been at the top of our playlist since before Covid. Took a huge talent to knock off Samantha Fish. LOL. What talent on that stage. Some of the best musicians in Nashville (or the planet for that matter) of the last 50 years. For fun search for a clip of Sam Bush and Sierra as a 10 year old, maybe 12, playing together on the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, a weekly show from Lexington, Ky. featuring a wide range of music. Sierra was a young guest in the audience and Sam was her hero. Sam, being the wonderful human being he is, invited her to play a tune with him. Here they are together maybe 10 years later making incredible music together.

It broought back memories of Bela, Sam, Jerry, Tony and Mark playing together. This generation has their own stars, but it's nice to see the overlap. Brian Sutton took over for Tony, but Billy might be the best yet. My life has had an awesome soundtrack.

    • @trankdart
      @trankdart Рік тому +1

      Justin Moses, one of the most gifted and under-recognized talents in contemporary bluegrass (and Sierra’s husband), plays fiddle with Michael Cleveland on the first tune and then picks up a Dobro which he modestly plays behind Jerry Douglas on the second tune. He is a virtuoso on *all* bluegrass instruments, and has been at least IBMA Dobro player of the year; maybe other awards like that. In both tunes, Justin stands at the far end of the group, mostly out of camera range. He’s the only person on that stage who could play those tunes all by himself by overdubbing, because he can play every instrument as well as anybody else. He sings, but not like Sierra and Molly and Billy Strings.
