Bluegrass Breakdown: Wolves, Part One

With their intimidating looks, spine-tingling cries, cunning intelligence and other-worldly adaptability, these animals inspire adoration, fear, controversy and some tolerably fine bluegrass. With the help of Tony Rice, Junior Sisk and Chris Jones we’ll be living with, dancing with and howling with the wolves.
