A number of times in the past year, my searches on YouTube have led me to this massive collection of bluegrass albums, audio files ripped from the vinyl:
There's so much material here, with an emphasis on the releases from the 1970s and 1980s. Many are new to me, or in some cases forgotten. It's way too much material for me to sift through, so I thought I'd open it up to the hive to find the 'good stuff.'
Try to keep it on the positive and light side, if you don't mind. It was a period, where I think some dubious productions decisions were common in the bluegrass recording world, but there are some undisputed treasures, and plenty of projects of special relevance to the time they were created. And it's nice to have LP-sized chunks of music, in a 'singles only' world. I'll lead off with an LP that I think about everybody on this thread will consider a 'treasure'.
