Can someone recommend recordings of good bluegrass groups who played
together and developed apart from the music industry and media scene? So
far I seem to find that most bluegrass recordings or DVDs are of famous or
big name groups who sometimes appear more interested in making a name for
themselves and complimenting one another than in the music. For example,
are there any recordings of good groups that worked together in small
towns in the Appalatians, Kentucky, etc.? Or, has anyone made recordings
of groups playing in backwoods or remote areas? If not, your
recomnendations of "city folk," not associated with Bill Monroe, who are
making good recordings. Thanks for any suggestions.

Is this the wrong newsgroup to ask questions such as this? If so, which
would be appropriate?
