I'm always impressed to find music here on PR that Spotify has not discovered. This is why I listen.



I don't find that surprising at all. Spotify does not have the incentive to find good music however obscure. Spotify is just about serving more of the same stuff that you already liked.

I only tuned into RP during the last 45 seconds or so of this cut, but having worked on a documentary about the history of Appalachia, I can attest that there are indeed some Appalachian sounds in it, especially the dominant violin melody at the end. 

As for violins, all violins are fiddles but not all fiddles are violins.  


Isn't that reversed; all fiddles are violins, but not all violins are fiddles? The meaning being in the style of play?

A distinction without any meaningful difference.

You're right; this has almost nothing connecting it to bluegrass or "Appalachistan".  I like it, though.

Gangstagrass does have the Appalachia influence, however.

I m writing a comment "what would Harry Manx" say about this, when who comes on but Harry Manx, the Hindu Blues man extrodinaire. Thanks RP for your diverse universe. Keep mixing it up.

Hailing from Appalachia, I can personally attest to the music from at least my corner of that area.  It sounds nothing like this. 

That doesn't mean it's any better...  just not like this.

Keep in mind, Athens, Ohio has never, to my knowledge, produced any famous musicians.  Except perhaps The Rarely Herd and Red Wanting Blue.  But neither of them would make it here, or even commercial radio for that matter and clear channel will play any crap.

Hindugrass?
One of the many new law-abiding drugs?
In my book Hindugrass is from KERALA
or Jammu & Kashmir - not the BLUE MOUNTAINS!

Had this tune been a Beatles tune on 'Sgt Pepper's' it would have been rated a "9". Hmmm...

It is an interesting and effective mixture of styles.  I think one of the guys from this band teaches music at NCCU in Durham - or used to.

What have we here? I thought it would be Harry Manx (one of my favorite performers) mixing eastern instruments with American blues. Appalachistan...this is pleasant!

Very interesting combination that seems to work. I like it.
