Looking for Bluegrass

I took a peak at the Billboard Bluegrass charts one day and realized I need to catch up. Although it gets scant play on television, GAC's Grand Ole Opry does showcase a lot of these artists. I was particularly interested in Rhonda Vincent. She started in the early 90's as a straight up Country act, and when she didn't hit big she crossed over to Bluegrass. You could say she's in direct competition with Alison Krauss and both have good voices. Vincent sounds an awful like Patty Loveless, but that's not a bad thing. Her latest, Good Thing Going, is almost Bluegrass and a little Country. Kind of like what Krauss and the Union Station put out. I don't hear anything revolutionary for the genre, and Vincent is too close to Country than Bluegrass.
Her brother, Darrin, coproduced her album and his debut with Jamie Dailey. The surprise is that this is the best Bluegrass album I've heard in 2008. A fresh, joyful take on sorrowful songs. Two other Rounder releases: Blue Highway's Through The Window Of A Train is from a band that adds some Rock elements to its sound. They stretch Bluegrass with songs of War and rhythm guitars. The Steeldrivers' debut is more Bluegrass and gets by on strong vocals and songs.
The genre is in good shape, even if it gets treated as Classic Jazz: an antiquated genre stuck in the past. But there are some moving it forward.
