What it plays
Expect classic and contemporary bluegrass: driving three-finger banjo, fast fiddle and mandolin breaks, and high, close harmony singing. Older recordings from the music's first generations sit alongside today's bands.
New to the style? Our guide to bluegrass explains how it grew out of old-time and country music, and Man of Constant Sorrow and Old Joe Clark are two songs you are likely to hear.
