The Third Generation does Classic BG!

[Bernie Daniel]

Well.......except for some of the breaks....

But some great BG by a truckload of third generation players:
The Old Crossroads with:

Mandolins galore: Thile (vocals), Jesse Cobb, and Jason Norris;
Fiddles: Phoebe Hunt, Brittany Haas, and Odessa Jorgensen (vocals);
Dobro: Andy Hall!
Guitar: Mike Mickelson

And loads more -- nice performance IMO.

BRILLIANT ! - Chris Thile never ceases to amaze me when he gets away from the stuff he normally does to play good Bluegrass Mandolin - when i say GOOD,i really mean it doesn't get any better & he sure likes the 'broken headstock' look.
I understand that for a musician of his stature,being 'confined' to Bluegrass music limits his musical exploratory nature - that's fine by me.But like AKUS,i wish that once in a while he'd really cut a good Bluegrass album out for us. Thanks for the clip - it's now downloaded to my PC & i'll be 'playing along with it' later today ,

Nice picking and funny to see Thile desperately trying to do Monroeisms. He´s getting close. Lacks some punch, though. He has a good mandolin, needless to say.

It´s the Infamous Stringdusters on stage too.

Bernie, on guitar is also Andy Falco, the Stringduster´s guitar player.

I liked his guitar playing best. It´s original and not a Rice clone (you can´t get better than Tony Rice when you try to play like Tony Rice, so it´s best to stick with your own stuff).
