I wonder how many people truly understand what a truly amazing fiddle player Alison is? No wonder her entire band is composed of musicians of the highest caliber.
Im not american but i am proud of my celtic roots, and this true bluegrass gets the hairs standing on the back of my neck. My mates think of me as strange, I brew moonshine, play the piano and hunt deer with a 45-70. some of them call me a red neck, I say no. I love the tradition of my motherland, and enjoy the culture of others
Very much so, Bluegrass stems from the North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky (mainly). During the founding of the nation, land in the mountains and around these areas was given to Irish and Scottish criminals to clear and work. That is why bluegrass has such a 'celtic' ring to it. On another note, the banjo comes from Africa, where early versions have been traced back to Egypt. When slaves brought banjos to North America, slave owners picked them up, too.
Good point about the African origins of the banjo. This article (with audio & video) about Rhiannon Giddens, and her group The Carolina Chocolate Drops, goes into that history: banjonews.com/2016-02/rhiannon_giddens_old-time_innovator.html
The true spirit of Bill Monro and Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs with the added delight of Alison Krauss. The best band on the planet! And that's from a Brit!
I enjoy most types of music, but there is nothing else that gets to me like bluegrass when its played right and this is definitely played right. Alison Krauss and Union Station are the greatest.
…listning to "Valerius sin lille sofakrok" on Radio Nordkapp Thursday 3. November 2016, kl 19-20 (7-8 p.m.) (Norwegian time) 9 tracks with Alison Krauss & Union Station in my music program on local radio in Norway. «Baby Now That I've Found You», «Bright Sunny South», «Tiny Broken Heart», «Cluck Old Hen», «Stay», «Faraway Land», «The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn», «A Living Prayer» and «Every Time You Say Goodbye» .
I can't imagine why some of the junk on youtube has so many hits and real talent like this has only 71000; maybe that says something about what we are turning into.
Many Appalachians were descended from so-called Scots-Irish, that is Protestant settlers who were moved from the Border region when the Scottish & English Crowns merged in 1603. They were sent to Ulster to replace "disloyal" Gaels". These Ulstermen later moved to the American colonies and settled its frontier zones. Their music has links to English, Scottish and Welsh traditional music as well as "celtic" Irish.

Alison is a talented women... The other a commercial slut flash in the pan who will be meaningless as soon as her "sex appeal" fades. Alison will be loved to her dying day for her talent
Zach, surely you aren't implying that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War because this song says nothing about it.... On another note, love this song, it's one of their best.

God Bless the South and the men, women, and children that died for her.

Many of the southerners I hear are of Scottish, and some Irish heritage That's Celtic I believe.
Isn't a 45-70 kinda large for deer?
Makes me proud to be a Southerner 🇺🇸
Southern by the grace of God!
I'm a teenager from SoCal and I love this song, their other songs and just bluegrass in general!
Still listening I hope?
Haunting and beautiful at the same time. True poetry.
Gives me goosebumps. Especially as a Southerner.

I feel sure that many a young Johhny Reb, went to his death, with these sentiments in his heart.
For the Bonnie Blue and those that loved Her so dearly that they gave their all.
Absolutely stunning performance!!

To all of those misinformed Yanks out there, (I used to be one) did you hear one thing in this song that mentioned "keeping our slaves?"
not in there
Are not the roots of bluegrass "celtic"?
the overwhelming majority of the 17th and 18th century settlers were of Scot/Irish/British origin, so that seems pretty reasonable.
Very much so. That's where it originated.

What type of music would this be?
Xris Carter bluegrass
Alison Krauss is the bluegrass equivalent of Furgy.

Civil war song
