While I thought Telluride missed the boat two years ago when Tom was touring with Mudcrutch, I saw them three weeks earlier at Summer Camp in Illinois, great show. Tom had said that they had invented psychedelic bluegrass but I don't think they knew about Old and In the Way or Newgrass Revival. Or listen to Flatt and Scruggs Nashville Airplane album. The Planet has had a couple of "bluegrass rendition bands" Hayseed Dixie, the Cleverlys, The Earls of Leister, the Hillbenders doing Tommy. Either way it is likely that we will hear some of Petty's music this summer.
