2009 Lineup

[ilovethelorax]

 
...I've actually already purchase one album by an artist that I knew nothing about before seeing them mentioned here.  Right on...
 

I'm curious who you dove in for and how you liked the water.

peace, kym

Oh man.  If Planet Bluegrass announced the 1992 AKUS lineup I would probably have a heart attack.  That would be absolutely incredible, beyond words.  Here's to hoping for AK in any musical formation!!

Ha ha, I see we're on the same wave length 
I think I'd faint of sheer happiness if this happened...
Any other magical band formations anyone can think of that they'd like to see back on stage?

I'd vote for Livewire, with one of my favorite banjo players: Scott Vestal
Can't recall the names of the rest of the band, but their only released album (as far as I know) "wired" is probably my favorite bluegrass album ever!

Here! Here! Auntie. Didn't realize she was an AK fan. TP is the only place for this gal in her first year and any after. Have a feeling she has the voice to join in on some of the jams. Get Lalagay a ticket, please! Do like her style.

I'd love to see another Tony Rice and AKUS set.  That is still one of the best sets I've heard in all my Telluride visits.

I'd love to see Sarah Jarosz get to do another set, perhaps with Tim O'Brien.  Hmmm... could make a good opening set for 2010.

Tony Rice & Alison Krauss.... I've been kicking myself ever since the day I realised I was missing out on this tour    It's pretty much my most cherished dream that they'll do it again...
I can't believe Tony can't sing anymore!  I grew up listening to albums like Manzanita, Church Street Blues or Cold on your Shoulder and I just loved his voice...I only discovered from recent footage the situation and it really broke my heart to think that I'd never see him perform in all his glory...
But hearing Alison sing songs like Early Morning Rain along to his guitar... now that's a sight I'd like to see!

Now that's got me started on male vocalists! Here's my top favorites:
Tim O'Brien
Alan O'Bryant
Marshall Wilborn
Harley Allen
Dan Tyminski
Lead Third Tyme Out singer...what's his name?!?
Lead Livewire singer ?!?
Paul Adkins (anyone remember "Reflections of Love"?)
and the list goes on....

Well I don't want to rub it in Lalagay but the TRAKUS show was quite amazing.  I had the opportunity of seeing it in Atlanta and Merlefest.  It is still the best show I've ever seen.  When just AK and Tony performed "Streets of London" I almost lost it.  So beautiful.  It is quite a shame Tony can't sing anymore, he had my favorite voice in bluegrass or just period.  Since it's Jerry's 25 this year at Telluride, and Tony has be so influential to him, maybe there will be a surprise appearance. Hey I can dream can't I?

Go to the site tapers.org/zips/ and find the TRiceAKUS2007-6-23 folder and download it.  It's probably my most listened to set from that year.

As for my favorite vocalists...

Tim O'Brien
Luke Bulla
Sam Bush
Drew Emmitt
John Cowan
Darrell Scott

Oh man... well you are rubbing it in aren't you! 
TRAKUS, now that is hilarious! me & my dad think these abbreviations are sooo funny, there like, total bluegrass geeky, who would of thought that existed eh? Ooops, I might be one myself actually...
You actually saw it twice?!? Wow you are sooooo lucky... that tour didn't make it across the Atlantic sadly...I think I would have been crying my eyes out if I'd seen that...It's so good you can't believe it's happening, it's almost too much... well that's how I felt and I didn't even get to see them!
Tony on stage with Jerry at Telluride?!? I'll second that! it would be incredible!!! What I love about Jerry is his style totally sparks off whoever he's playing with, and I particularly like what Tony brings out in him, some of my favorite JD breaks are on TR albums so...
I say me make that dream come true!

Jambase just sent me an e-mail informing me that SAM BUSH will be playing at Telluride Bluegrass Festival!    WooooHoooo!  They are in the know.

Sam Bush at Telluride Bluegrass = the "given" in mathematics

It's nice to know you can still count on some things remaining the same.
I have a standing date with Sammy, Tim , Bela, Jerry etc. This is my point of reference for the entire summer....

Why of course! I'm always happy to and generally terribly chatty & over enthusiastic when it comes to talking about music in general, bluegrass in particular 
What kind of knowledge are you looking for exactly?
