Does anyone know anything about the Osborne Brothers? After seeing Ralph and a bluegrass concert, I think I'd like to see another. My favorite CD I own is by the Osbornes - "From Rocky Top to Muddy Bottom". IMHO, there's not a bad track on this CD.
Has anyone else seen them? Heard their music? A friend of mine listened to the CD and said they sounded more country than bluegrass on certain songs. Is there a hybrid genre called "country bluegrass"? Bobby - the lead singer - can sing a country song but sure make it sound bluegrass just with his tenor voice. I heard him sing "When The Grass Grows Over Me" the other day (I downloaded from BearShare - one of the Napster alternatives) and it sounds bluegrass but only because of his voice. George Jones originally sang that song (downloaded his version, too) and for as much as I like George, I thought the Osborne's version sounded better. -christy Bluegrass Bulletin Board brought to you by the fan club of Dr Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys subscribe or unsubscribe at http://drralphstanley.com/
