That Hot Club of Cowtown stuff was really cool! Very smooth trio there. I'll have to look for Peter Ostruski.

I was getting an absurdly long download estimate at the RnB Boys site, I'll have to try again when I'm not already downloading something (Los Mocosos -their hype says they are a fusion of ska salsa and punk).

Kraus has been getting a lot of love lately from the CandW crowd as folks get tired of the hats. Ricky Skaggs has a bunch of bluegrass out now, having escaped the evil clutches of his antibluegrass label he's set up his own shop and is making up for lost years under an inflexible pop country contract. As I'm typing this I'm listening to Bela Flecks Bluegrass Sessions. Bela is simply an awesome banjo picker who has done a ton of work in jazz, probably because bluegrass is too easy for him. I think I'm hearing Jerry Douglas' dobro in the background so in stream of conciousness writing I should mention Jerrys appearance on the Transatlantic Sessions album blending bluegrass with celtic along with too many other artists to mention. Oh no! Now I have to mention Dan Ar Bras a spectacular acoustic guitarist from Brittany who plays in the celtic style, the album I have of his has a wonderful cover of Sheebeg an Sheemore. enough! gotta go
