might as well mention some good bluegrass, since it's often my genre of choice.

for some good old-timey stuff, try:

and for some different/newer sounds, try:

and finally, for a man in a class by himself, checkout the following John Hartford albums:

"some day my baby, when I am a man
and others have taught me the best that they can
sell me a suit, and cut off my hair
and send me to work in tall buildings

cause it's goodbye to the sunshine,
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I mustn't be late,
I'm going to work in tall buildings.

now when I retire, my life is my own
I've made all my payments, it's time to go home
I wonder what happened, betwixt and between,
when I went to work in tall buildings

cause it's goodbye to the sunshine,
goodbye to the dew
goodbye to the flowers
and goodbye to you
I'm off to the subway, I mustn't be late,
I'm going to work in tall buildings." --John Hartford, "In Tall Buildings"

RIP John,
