In this video, I'm joined by a legendary bassist from the world of bluegrass, country and acoustic music: Barry Bales. We discuss his influences, favourite bassists, and recommended listening for those who want to learn more about bluegrass bass. Of course, there are numerous bassists we didn't reference as this is not a definitive list, but rather some of Barry's key influences. Also, make sure you watch to the end to catch the band performance of Wild Bill Jones, featuring Justin Moses and Jeff White!
