    I'll agree with DocH, and JDJohn...simple in simple out....

    Even at NPR's Tiny Desk recordings published on YouTube can produce good sounds of folk and bluegrass

    Example Sarah Jarosz...also go to 7:15, Fuel The Fire ;)

    If you like her, listen to I'm with Her.Sarah, Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins. Also Crooked Still which Aoife is the lead singer for.

    If you like Blue Grass--
    Cara Dillon is more of a Celtic Folk but she records well under the same concept

    Yes, very, very very good stuff.
    I am/we are big fans of Aoife O'Donovan.
    As an aside, she's the daughter of WGBH radio's (Boston) long time "Celtic Sojourn" host, Brian O'Donovan (and his wife, too, of course).

    Fortunate enough to meet Ricky Skaggs after he performed at The Palladium in Carmel IN. Super gracious, chatted with my girl and I for almost an hour.
