im just wondering if i could get a few suggestions from some people about some new folk/roots/bluegrass music. i dont really know much so im looking for new stuff. any help would be appreciated, so far i have some blind willie johnson, rev. gary davis, robert johnson, chatham county line, charlie parr, old crow medicine show, does boxcar willie count? suggestions on anything else would be great.
 
i forgot about those gypsy stylings, thanks. still need more. i have to fill up an mpx player i got as a gift.
 
The can kickers, counter clockwise, and the pine hill haints are all great folk / bluegrass bands currently out there. Then there's always bill monroe, the stanley brothers, charlie patton, leadbelly, guthrie ect. for older shit. I used to have a ton more before my music collection was stolen a couple years back, if I remember any more I'll be sure to post it.
 
also check out charles manson (yes, he made music, and i love his messages) and the violent femmes

(these are the closest things to folk/bluegrass that i listen to)

labea, that music is fucking great
 
a few good bands out of the northwest for jugband/folkie type stuff..

the dandelion junk queens
the blair street mugwumps
inkwell rhythm makers <---- my favorite
water tower string band
bad mitten orchestre
conjugal visitors

there's more in the area but i forget.. I don't know how to find these bands online or anything but if you like folkie jugband stuff they are super
 
wow, thanks everyone, this is a good start. if you think of more please post. the mp3 player is 30g so the more the merrier. im also on the hunt for some gritty punk,(against me, crass, destroy everything), but i guess im open to all suggestions. my main goal however is, as stated above folkie or blugrass or dustbowl era type stuff.
 
public domain has alot of old blues and old time music for free downloadin. i think its just publicdomain.com if its not you can just bust a search
 
Doc Watson

Defiance Ohio
Pat The Bunny (or) Wing nut Dishwashers Union
Armed Metropolis (or) Whatever The Folk It Takes
Counterfeit Matt


 
speaking of Doc Watson, isn't he playing in Mesa, AZ in a few weeks? I really want to go but I heard tickets are spendy. Anyone know the details of this show or want to make a trip down there from the NW if tickets aren't rediculus?

Oh man, I'll go look up that information and edit this post. I'd love to go see that madman live. Also rumor has it Leonard Cohen is coming out of retirement, excited for that as well.
