LOL - ever heard of Al Munde? Noam Pikelny? Bela Fleck? JD was instrumental (!) in reviving interest in Bluegrass music but he was never very inventive or imaginative compared to others and even got rather boring with the same old riffs. Never really grew and developed but plateaued and stagnated for the latter half of his career. It helps to listen to a LOT of banjo players before making such big statements.
@@mandolin8297 I think he was referring to traditional "Scruggs Style" pickin, the artists you referred to are "progressive" and in their own way are stagnant and repetitious.
@@mandolin8297 Also, if you think about it, you never heard any of the banjo players you mentioned, in any band that had anywhere near the balance of vocals, instrumentation, or timing this man had. I played banjo, mandolin, flat top and upright base for almost 50 years, so I'm not just talking without knowledge on the subject. And in my opinion, the original commenter on this thread is correct, outside of maybe Ron Stewart, who incidentally is playing fiddle on this very video.
@Hugh Jarse Awe, did him find a typo to ridicule? 😏 Poor little feller. Here, I'll leave you another one, "dic hed", There, that ought to keep your immature mind busy for a few hours. 😏
That was a fine band
The best new south group of all time
not by a longshot, but rickey is my fav singer for JD
One awesome outfit right there
Awesome. I was there 12 foot from the mans banjo. Amazing sound
Travis
Never again can you go hear a banjo played like that.
