A little ways back I got distracted & neglected a thread on bluegrass reccomendations
Here's some of the Bluegrass, Americana, Folk, and Blues acts that have been keeping me moving lately
Horseshoes & Hand Grenades are lots of fun. This is "Whiskey"

The Possum Ridge String Orchestra's album "On The Road Again" is the one that got me really enthusiastic about banjos in general

I understand that some people do feel fatigued by Old Crow Medicine Show because of that one overplayed song.
But in my mind, the album "Big Iron World" will never get old.

I'm new to Holy Locus but I really like their "Fever Dream" album

Gangstagrass carefully combines Bluegrass, Folk and Americana influences with Hip-Hop and are unmatched in their niche style.

The Bridge City Sinners are a band from the Pacific Northwest who were also brought to my attention today via DM. Their genre was reported to me as "Murder Folk" which sounds pretty cool. https://open.spotify.com/artist/67koLjNJIwd3at8sM8EAkt?si=mIgdTvfBTtaVYVIsCCVBiw
Never heard of "Murder Folk" before but I'm pretty sure this Johnny Cash song should qualify

State-Sanctioned-Murder Folk:
Johnny Cash's version is more famous but I prefer this performance by the song's writer (and my personal hero) Shel Silverstein. https://open.spotify.com/track/5vZrcad1uM8DwxVcamlRA1?si=MNH8e0TtSlehNaczqM2WiA

This Dr. Hook album is loaded with songs written by Shel Silverstein. If you are unfamiliar with Uncle Shelby's adult material, I feel like you are missing out big time.

Most of the time I avoid "Best-of" compilations, but "The Best of Shel Silverstein" is a notable exception.

Finishing this thread with a reminder that John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd were musical icons as well as groundbreaking comedic actors and writers.

Listen to their performances. Watch The Blues Brothers at the very least weekly
