Banjo picker J.D. Crowe was one of the leading lights of the 1970's "newgrass" scene, taking the New South band from triumph to triumph, shepherding numerous talents and collaborating with other top-flight pickers, young and old. Starting out as a teenager, Crowe apprenticed in the 1950's edition of Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys, then set out on his own in a decade's long run as one of bluegrass music's most respected bandleaders. The core of his sound has been closely tied to Martin's canny mix of plangent mountain music and bluesy country, but he was also open to the poetic strains of the "progressive" bluegrass movement... Here's a quick look at his work.
