Ditto to the Three Pickers with Ricky Skaggs, Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson. The "Road to Spencer is a great instrumental, as well as, Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza. Also, Broke by King Wilkie.

For some older stuff that's less known that I discovered and flipped out over:
Wyatt Rice and Santa Cruz - Picture in a Tear
A little known Instrumental Album (excet by banjo players), that is easily in my top 2 or 3 ALL time favorite Instrumental CDs, pick up "TEAM FLATHEAD - The Huber Banjo Sessions".
For "new" stuff, pick up any of the Chapman's stuff or Kenny & Amanda Smith Band CDs. Very good instrumentation and harmony. Ronnie Bowman's "Starting Over" is also a winner.
Also, Lonesome River Band's "Window of Time".

I've enjoyed "Travelin Band" by Bluegrass Etc.. with John Moore lately.
Has anyone heard about Ricky Skaggs new one coming soon? I think it's called "Brand New Strings".

Just pulled out the Kentucky Colonels "Livin in the Past" CD. Classic.
Roland White and Clarence White's vocal harmonies were beautiful. Clarence White is a flatpicking legend, and Roland White a mando legend.
Great bluegrass.
