So, this is bluegrass: sad, lonesome, even vitriolic lyrics (like this
one) delivered with a joy that’s contagious and a driving rhythm (on top
of the beat, please) that’s irresistible. Listen to the way the crowd
responds to Del McCoury and David Grisman, and their
version of Jimmy Martin’s “Dog Bite Your Hide”.
Don’t know who the
fiddler is, since they're off camera, but that’s one tasty break.
BONUS:
Bluegrass clapping school, done to perfection on the off beats.
