So fantastic. They met when she was just 9 yrs old - and he became one of her mentors. Now she's all grown up and married and everything - and they share stages together. What i love about every genre of Roots music (Folk, Bluegrass, Country, etc.) - the way the older folks reach a hand back to the youngsters - and bring them along - up into the community. It's a joy to see their delight in - and regard & affection for - each other.
It is Americana music cultural tradition Once you get ‘good’ you start playing with young players to stay up to date and in the movement. Gordon Lightfoot Neil Young Alison Krauss Marty Robbins on the BIG stage at early youth and so on all these veterans spend their careers striving to play with the youngest yet most talented around. Us morals play 30 years or more to start to get as good a Sierra or Sam at birth..
@@drltcrw I think maybe Marty Stewart (guitarist and mandolinist for Bluegrass bands when he was really young) - not so much Marty Robbins. Both Lightfoot and Neil Young were pure Canadiana - and that was especially reflected in the imagery of Lightfoot's lyrics - as he went off on canoe journeys throughout the Northern part of Canada all his life. Neil Young was born in Toronto - but grew up in Winnipeg - the R&R "capital" of Canada in the 1970s. And his music reflects that whole scene. I grew up in a logging camp on Vancouver Island - and my brother and I both became professional musicians in the 1960s. And we learned from our elders - my Dad had his own band that he played in - as well as the family band. That kind of musical legacy is hard to beat.
Folks this is great stuff. Sam Bush, the father of progressive mandolin bluegrass joins Sierra and some of Nashville's young great musicians here. Must say at age 71 Sam is still high energy hasn't lost a beat and can still play up a storm.
Not only splendid playing but superb sound. Whoever is responsible for this should be giving seminars to sound men and musicians alike. Unfortunately it’s rare to hear sound this outstanding.
OMG! Channeling musical energy from the Universe - it just flows from their Core out through their fingers and to our hearts! I am so inspired! ... and I am just trying to pick out the melody, note by note, on my mandolin and I'm having to think my way through it... I will keep practicing, hoping to reach a point some day when I'm not "thinking" music consciously, but I'm letting it flow through me like these amazing musicians. :-)
Go back in time and watch Jethro Burns. What he played with Homer and Jethro was jazz and not bluegrass. I'd add Tiny Moore and Johnny Gimble as well. Both played with Bob Wills.
Amazing playing! There are no better players than these. And for trying to follow what she's playing, the red nail polish makes it lots easier to see where her finger tips are.
