You can’t get music any more quintessentially American than bluegrass, and the Stanley Brothers are at the top of the heap when it comes to bluegrass musicians. This week’s free MP3 comes from salon.com and features “Rabbit in a Log.”
As David Marchese of salon.com says,
“Rabbit in a Log” comes from a new Smithsonian Folkways compilation, “Virginia Roots,” and features breakneck banjo, fiddle and mandolin playing that would put many a heavy-metal shredder to shame. But as much as I enjoy the virtuoso bluegrass musicianship, my favorite thing about the song is Ralph and Carter Stanley’s close, clear harmony singing.

That tune is utterly incredible! I like it!
Thanks for stopping by A Prodigal’s Blog. I am glad you liked the song by the Stanley Brothers. Let me say that I love your eclectic music as well and consider The Roots one of the best parts of The Jimmy Fallon Show.
