Bluegrass Music on the Internet

The world has changed forever - music is distributed by downloading, and the days of going to your local record store and picking up a few albums are long gone. There are literally millions of songs available on the internet and Amazon.com is an excellent source for music in both the old fashioned form - CDs, or the more modern MP3 format. Clicking on the picture above will take you to Amazon.com, where you can buy Ricky Skaggs tribute to the fathers of Bluegrass - way to easy.

When I was younger, I loved buying a new record and bringing it home to listen to. This was a ritual for me, no there isn’t any sacrifices or anything involved; I would tear the plastic open, pull the inner sleeve out and put the album on the turntable. Now the fun starts - sit back and listen to side A in it’s entirety, that’s right the whole side - no skipping songs. The nature of a record dictates that skipping tracks was difficult, so it was easier to listen to every song. While I enjoyed listening to my new find, I occupied my visual senses by reading the liner notes, learning about the instruments they used, the producers name, where it was recorded - information that gave me a feel for the recording. I would stick with one side for a while and when I was ready, and no sooner, I gave side B a listen.

Like I said earlier - those days are long gone, and now you can download one song for less than a buck and avoid the ritual that I love so much. Progress - I think not. Anyway, if you wan’t to check out an endless list of music in both Cd and MP3 format - follow the links below, but beware there’s a lot of good music out there.
