Dear Tax-chick,
Many Thanks for your message. I just read it. Well, if I say any more you will really get confused. Although, I was born and raised in Bombay, India and I still do live in Bombay, India at the moment-- you could consider me a transplant or a Pseudo-Southerner since I lived for quite some time in the Southern United States and I long to come back.
I guess that's the best way to put it. I have heard of Ricky Skaggs who is a Blue Grass Gospel Great.
But my all time favourites are:
1)Jesse Lee Campbell.
2)Alison Krauss
3)The Soggy Bottom Boys-- They are Blue Grass but I am not sure whether they are Blue Grass Gospel.
I just love their favorite hit "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow".
See Y'all Tomorrow.
In Christ,
P.S.- You won't believe this but in North Georgia I had a Friend who was a Baptist Pastor and sort of led me back to the Catholic Faith. That Story will be kept for Tomorrow.
This is all fascinating! I think Allison Krause is the best female vocalist in country music. Have to say that I don't like "Man of Constant Sorrow" that much, though, even with Ralph Stanley singing it! I loved his recording of "Oh, Death."
Have a good night in your far-off time zone!
