Foggy Mountain Baroque Down
A few months ago, I entered a phase in which the only kinds of music I really wanted to hear were classical and bluegrass.
If you are in such a phase, or even if you are not, your new hero is Edgar Meyer. I’ve been listening to Appalachian Journey over and over, and exploring related classical-bluegrass hybrids. Listening to this stuff is like watching a ballroom full of people in tuxedoes and silk dresses suddenly break out square dancing: exuberant, democratic, and fantastic.
