Bluegrass Breakdown: Bones, Part Two

Light in weight but strong and built to last, they’re the living tissue that makes up our skeletons. In their absence, we couldn’t exist. Without them we’d also be devoid of some mighty fine bluegrass songs. Thanks to Roland White, the Frazier Band, Great Northern, and Doc Watson, we’ll be continuing our salute to high, blue and lonesome bones by paying close attention to drinking bones, hambones, jawbones, icy bones, and more.
