You won't go wrong with anyone on that list!!! Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver are really good. So are Alison Krauss and Union Station! Ricky Skaggs rules!! Of course, Flatt and Scruggs are legends! As is Mac Weisman (not listed there). One group glaringly missing is The Seldom Scene!! Good luck!!! :buddies:

Charlie Waller and the Country Gentlemen

Lost and Found

James King Band

Charlie Moore

Seldom Scene

Seldom Scene (with John Duffy)...that's older. Charlie Waller with the Country Gentlemen...Country Gentlemen with Duffy and Waller. Bluegrass Cardinals. Ricky Scaggs, Flat & Scruggs.

IMO, best ever pure voice in bluegrass is Charlie Waller.

This is awesome!! Thank you so much! I've already downloaded enough music (with 3 from each group mentioned) for 2 CDs! He will be so excited!!!
