Well, I can't let a topic like this slide by without saying that I LOVE the Dixie Chicks. I love the mandolin on their "Home" album, and like the fact that Thile and Steffey back them up on there. It...

Thanks Alan! I really appreciate it!

Could I get the music for Bury Me Beneath the Willow too?! I love that song. My email is ksw723@truman.edu
Thanks in advance!

I wish I could go. I did go to the Midwest SPBGMA show last night and saw Rhonda Vincent and other groups. Rhonda rocked! That was my 3rd time to see her live; she's just really great. Not only did...

Yep, he's married! They're all married except for Alison. (Oh, and I don't know about Larry, the drummer. I don't think he is, but I don't know.) To me, it kinda seems like Jerry's eyes are looking...

I got it right after it came out. My favorites are Ralph Stanley's, Rhonda Vincent's, and Alison Krauss's. Sam Bush did a wonderful job on his. It sure is nice to have a mandolin track on there!
...

^ that is true.

Those are some interesting theories! I, too, have wondered why Dan went from being a mandolin player to a guitar player, and now rarely plays mandolin. I would like to see him play the mandolin more....

I'm not going to the national one, because I'm in college, but I am going to the midwest one in Missouri in January. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I don't know if it's been mentioned before in other topics, but you can listen to the whole album at cmt.com before you buy it:

Do you have the cd? If you don't, and you want to hear the other songs on the album, you can go here:

CMT has a "listening party"...

I got the cd the day it came out, and I love it. "Restless" and "If I Didn't Know Any Better" are my favorite songs on there. "This Sad Song" that Dan sings is really good too, in fact, Alison...

Wow! That is awesome! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I went to the concert in Columbia, MO last Sunday and it was amazing, of course!

You don't have any AKUS cds? That is a crime! Yes, Every Time You Say Goodbye is a great album to get. Well, they all are, but a lot of people recommend that one because of the mandolin. ...

Thanks for starting this topic, cam. I was wondering the exact same thing tonight when I was playin my mando. I hold mine just like you do in that picture. My left hand did start to hurt some, but...

When Rhonda Vincent and the Rage played at my University, the school newspaper had a picture and article written about it. The girl had incorrectly identified Rhonda's mandolin as a banjo and also...

Sierra Hull! Though she's gaining recognition as we speak, on the Great High Mountain Tour with Alison Krauss and others.

I also like The Martin Family, from Missouri. I saw those local...

So true. The old Chicks music rocks (in a bluegrass way, lol). They still rock at all the bluegrass instruments they play: fiddle, mandolin, Dobro, banjo, guitar, bass, and more. Besides my favorite...

Exactly one month from today and I'll see the Great High Mountain tour from the front row in Branson! I hope they let me in with my mandolin, because Sierra's going to sign it at the show!...

She did surpass Aretha Franklin. Alison is the female with the most Grammys ever. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hmm, well, as a youngin', I really don't know much about the older female singers. But I can tell you that Alison Krauss is who got me into real traditional bluegrass when I bought her earlier...

My instrument names:

Mandolin= Sierra (after Sierra Hull; Sierra will sign it on June 10th!)

Fiddle= Alison (after Alison Krauss)

Dobro= Jerry (after Jerry Douglas)

Banjo= 5-String Pile...

Renée! Hey! I didn't know you came here! Good to see a familiar name. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Hannah comes here occasionally too.

Yeah, I'm so excited...

hehe... I doubt Sierra would have much time right now to peek at the board, 'cause she's packing for the tour! #I can't wait to meet her when I see the Branson, MO concert. #She's going to sign my...

So, your name's Hannah, huh? I feel like I know you somehow. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Congrats to my twin (again)!
