Progressive bluegrass takes the original “melting pot of American music” and infuses it with strains of punk and rock, often giving rise to
performances of intense musicianship. Some of the tunes might be familiar to you, such as
Crooked Still’s cover of Johnny Cash’s Ain’t No Grave, featured on the
True Blood soundtrack, or their
aching, gender-twisting rendition of Robert Johnson’s Come On In My Kitchen. Some might be entirely new, such as
Seven Story Mountain, by Railroad Earth, or
Codeine, from Trampled By Turtles.
