Lyrics:

I heard my neighbor's rooster crow early in the day
I heard his axe beyond the hill and now I'm bound away
Fiddle and a bow in the firelight's glow
Can't you hear that lonesome sound?
I leave behind my trouble in mind
Go the whole world round

Now some men like the city life, some men crave the town
I'm bound away for the Arkansas woods, where I'll settle down

Fiddle and a bow in the firelight's glow
Can't you hear that lonesome sound?
I leave behind my trouble in mind
Go the whole world round

The grey squirrel leaves when the red squirrel comes, the eagle nests alone
A hundred miles from a wagon track is where I'll make my home

I've seen the old men whittling wood, I've seen the streets of town
I'll pack my goods for the lonesome woods, and there I'll settle down

Fiddle and a bow in the firelight's glow
Can't you hear that lonesome sound?
I leave behind my trouble in mind
Go the whole world round

Being under 3 minutes makes it just bearable

It's like all "roots" music, when you comprehend the convergence of Appalachian / Gypsy / Celtic / etc etc  cultural/musicological streams. There's only one friggin' song- it goes "Di-dee-di dee-diddley-di"  and is totally boring.


 
A lesson in logic errors and unsupported assertions - dumb as a sack of rocks

I hear a tremendous amount of bluegrass and old-time music in North Carolina and Virginia and I'm sure it's pretty widespread throughout Tennessee as well.

{#Yes} Bluegrass and its fans are everywhere. This band is from Colorado, and I bought this CD at a show in Montana.

 
WAMU has played bluegrass one way or another for the last 30 yrs in this area
now at 105.5 FM in the DC area
bluegrasscountry.org online 
I think we're just spread out all over
Thank god it's not too popular, music labels would ruin it

Mrs. Xtal's  uncle is from the Kansas/Oklahoma border and is one of the best known bluegrass fiddle players out there.

That word, "comprehend."

You don't hear much bluegrass outside of Kansas, my home state.   Thanks Bill for being open to the genre.  There's a lot of folks who dismiss it outright.   Happy to report I am not one of them!  This is nice.

You do now, thanks to the Coen Brothers and "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", a fine film and a fine soundtrack. Cured me of bluegrass ignorance, for sure. If this track is indicative of modern bluegrass I'd like to hear more of it.
