The Osborne Brothers - I Can Hear Kentucky Calling Me (1980/2018) [Hi-Res]

It has been said by some that bluegrass is not bluegrass when it’s all dressed up. We have to disagree, since the Osborne Brothers with strings is just that, and it’s just fine. Their beautiful yet simple sound is complimented by a suit of strings. Sometimes wild, sometimes smooth, and always interesting, this album all adds up to bluegrass magic.
