Bluegrass Breakdown: Deep Things, Part One

It’s a word that can mean everything from extending far away from a point of reference to something that’s very intense, profound, voluminous, thick or hard to comprehend. It’s also word that has given rise to very intense and profound bluegrass tunes as well. With mighty contributions from the likes of Del McCoury, the Gibson Brothers, Crucial Smith and Alison Krauss we’ll be exploring the deep things of BluegrassLand.
