Steve Martin
With regard to Steve Martin's small discography, "the worst of the four" is how The Steve Martin Brothers is usually tagged, which isn't so harsh when you consider two of the other albums are classics and one is just plain old good. It's an oddball release for sure, with half devoted to standup -- very loose and stream-of-consciousness standup -- ...

The Chieftains
In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep ...

by
Various Artists
John Fahey was one of the most influential acoustic guitarists of his generation, and his impact was felt even by people who never heard his music. Fahey's championing of rural blues masters such as Charley Patton and Bukka White before the "blues revival" made such things fashionable helped save an entire school of music from the scrap heap of ...

In the post-millennium, bluegrass players are categorized as progressive, retro, or contemporary (which is somewhere in between). A few players, however, play traditional bluegrass without self-consciousness. A veteran of Ricky Skaggs' Kentucky Thunder, Jim Mills plays the music of Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt with an honesty that reveals a ...

So much has been said about the founding father of bluegrass music that it would be nice if there was an all-encompassing collection of Bill Monroe's music to accompany the legend. Although the almost -correctly titled Anthology comes close, there is still a wealth of Columbia and RCA-Victor recordings missing from this Decca-centric collection, ...

For most listeners, until the release of this CD, the easiest way to partake of Eck Robertson's fiddle playing was to catch his appearance in the documentary Festival, about the Newport Folk Festival, where he played in the middle 1960s.
