I love the music and play it as well (mandolin). I grew up around it and it is by far my favorite. I love the drive, the energy, everything. I'm not into the "old-timey" sounding stuff (the typical stereotype of bluegrass). I like the more modern bluegrass. Artists like Del McCoury, Ronnie Bowman, IIIrd Tyme Out, The Rarely Herd, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Lonesome River Band, Rhonda Vincent, Johnny Staats, Ricky Skaggs, Aubrey Haynie, and The Gibson Brothers, appeal to me. The list could go on. Anyone else into this stuff?
