Another naughtybilly song from Courtney McClean and the Dirty Curls, this time about ... um .. a self-evident subject.

Suck a Ring by Astro Zombie

An old-timey, shitkicking, jug-banding, bluegrassy number about oral sex from Courtney McClean and the Dirty Curls, a band in which I play jug, jew's harp, harmonica, and sing harmony vocals.

I love this song! Upbeat, dancy, kind of weird.

This is the soundtrack to a movie about Leonard Cohen going on a rafting trip in rural Appalachia.

First track off our new album, "Heirloom." I'm playing fiddle an jawharp.

Bluegrass song about what sometimes happens with sons and dads. (In a bluegrass/country world.)

All Day Long by snsranch

Very short and perhaps sweet. I've been working on this kind of music for a while and this is a good example of where I'm at with it right now. Two Chord Challenge!!! ENJOY!

Man of Constant Sorrow by jtoth

Standard bluegrass ala The Soggy-Bottom Boys. I thought the song might be cool if I darkened it up a bit. It began life as a 12-string and vocal live track, then I flew in some harmonies, extra guitars and bass. This was recorded in my living room on a cheap laptop. I'm not a guitar player or singer. Enjoy!

Wheel in the Sky (bluegrass cover) by cortex

cortex — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:06:43 -0800

As requested by uncleozzy. I'd like to think this is a song sung by a hard-travelin' man dreaming of his girl—a girl with beautiful long black hair, and a high, soaring voice; Old Man Perry's daughter, Stephanie.

Three merged takes showing (hopefully) the evolution of a song

Whiskey Pearl by mediocre

Mostly an experiment in banjo, trying to apply the clawhammer style to a more bluegrass style song.

St. Anne's Reel by kjell

A classic. On mandolin. What more could you want? Nice and short to boot.

Trego Mountain by chiefbluefeather

chiefbluefeather — Sat, 24 May 2008 00:15:33 -0800

My first attempt at country/bluegrass. Timing is a little off here and there. Based on many trips out to the Nevada desert. No banks were robbed. Send me a note if you like. Peace.

My Bones by Baby_Balrog

Recorded at O'Duffy's pub on that infamous night.

Further Than a Stone by Baby_Balrog

Baby_Balrog — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:56:49 -0800

Written by the mando player, Hamdog. I'm playing fiddle - everyone had a blast with this.

Janie in the Lake by Baby_Balrog

More banjo / fiddle stuff.

Blessed Every Day by snsranch

I was fooling around with a dropped "D" and found this little thing there. Ended up writing some kind of lyrics and sang a little bit. Enjoy!

Fume [Beck] by erikgrande

erikgrande — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:49:05 -0800

I've seen a few covers recently and decided to dig up this bluegrass version of Beck's Loser B-side masterpiece. Warning: contains the word "fuck", stark depictions of inhalant abuse, and piping hot banjo rolls.

Sailor's Psalm - 5-piece acoustic by Baby_Balrog

Baby_Balrog — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 13:25:34 -0800

I wrote this awhile back. This is the band performing it at our buddy Todd's house (I'm the fiddler player). I was trying to go for something like a ballad, early 19th century U.S. south, maybe. I think it's pretty. He's singin about drownin hi'self, if you were wonderin.

You Are My Sunshine by cortex

cortex — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 06:52:25 -0800

Let's call it EMOldtimey. Or, really, let's not. It's not a damned clean rendition, but with this old heartbreaker you don't have to be. My pre-verbal niece was purported to love it, and that's good enough for me.

Banjo Lullaby by snsranch

snsranch — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:10:13 -0800

On preview, this sounds at least 1/4 slower than it should be. Posting anyway. It's my best so far.

LIttle Birdie by snsranch

snsranch — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 19:54:56 -0800

Played by my Grandpa. Super Crap recording and he was a bit out of practice, but this is real old timey music from long ago in Western Appalachia. Please overlook the pops and cracks, this is the real deal.

Flatpickin' by snsranch

snsranch — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 18:28:54 -0800

As I'm still in learning/practice mode, here's something I recorded to help me practice banjo, harmonica and jew's harp. Anyone interested in bluegrass/old-timey (or whatever) music feel free to add tracks to this and post them. This is such an open-ended practice piece that it could really go anywhere, so be my guest to use it anyway you please.

Abraham Holmes by Jofus

More low quality, drunken Bluegrass with The Failsworth Pilgrims. Recorded the same night we recorded Diamond Joe - only slightly more sober. We always opened our shows with this one because it lends itself to soundchecking so well. Another rough mix, although we did go back later (drunker) and add the super-camp backing vocals
