Had never given them a listen until this slow, snowy afternoon...And I am loving them! Really great pickin', lots of instruments, rich sound and soulful lyrics.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Oh man! They get down!
They are one of the main reasons I want to go to Wakarusa this year!

I found out about them by looking at the Wakarusa lineup (which is awesome).
They are coming to a bluegrass festival in my state in May...might have to check it out.

I've heard them a few times at various festies, I never remember what they sound like cause they aren't really my type of music, but they are still fun to listen to.

Yeah, I was surprised to hear they're NJ-based.
If I was a Boss or Bon Jovi fan I would argue with your statement...but I am not so

they have all kinds of killer songs dude. plus they can take you wayyyy out there if they want. I always looked at RRE as kinda whiney, rainbows and unicorns type of bluegrass. Same with HBR. some of my favorites of the top of my head though? Dawns Early Light, Snow On the Pines, King Ebenezer, Holding, 2hits, Out of the Blue. Actually they performed out of the blue on craig ferguson a month ago.

I'm drawing a blank on who HBR is.

Nice dude! You should def. check them out. This may be sacrilegious, but a couple of their songs have had subtle instrumental things that reminded me of the Dead, and I think their lead vocalist sometimes channels Jerry a little bit in his style.

Good stuff, I love bluegrass. Some others you might want to check out, might have heard of some of them:
Old Crow Medicine Show Chatham County Line The Devil Makes Three The Avett Brothers Madolin Orange Iron Horse - they cover Metallica and it's amazing
-------------------- Did he dream about dragons? Did he dream about deer? Did he whisper he names of friends who were near? What songs did they play, and how far away? Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.
