No other genre of music produces a sweeter sound than Bluegrass. The songs the performers pick and sing touch the heart in many ways, especially the ones with inspirational roots.
Although Bluegrass singers and musicians are among the most talented in the business, most of them find it almost impossible to achieve the level of commercial success enjoyed by their counterparts who work in other genres. The few who have managed to break out and achieve fame and fortune have done it primarily by branching out into Bluegrass’ closest “relative”: Country Music.
Several of Country’s biggest stars began their musical careers in Bluegrass including Keith Whitley, Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Alison Krauss and others. Many of these fine performers returned to their Bluegrass roots after becoming Country Music stars.
The video below features Alison Krauss and Union Station performing “A Living Prayer” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
