...Animal Years” could just as easily have been released in the 1970s, if not earlier. He’s an adept, though plain, troubadour, who here treads the well-worn path of mostly-acoustic folk, fusing the singer/songwriter vibe with bluegrass and country-western. In this release, Ritter has built solidly from the down home sound of his earlier albums, and he has effectively expanded his lyrical and musical creativity without losing his distinctively homespun sound. His rendition of mellow folk music is reminiscent of early Johnny Cash; his lyrics, like Nick Drake’s, are literate...
...would be willing to pay to give their kids the same sort of experience. DuFine, a former Polygram executive who started her career at MTV, and her business partner, David Codikow, manage the rock band Velvet Revolver and helped put together the first two Down from the Mountain bluegrass and country-music tours.

Tuesday night showcases blistering bluegrass, and Wednesday and Sunday are open-mic blues jam nights. The Hotspot hit the club this past Sunday around 11, where, shockingly, the place was packed. Honestly, The Hotspot didn’t even know it was legal to have fun on a Sunday night in Cambridge. No one told...
...Crowe’s own cathartic return to Kentucky after his father’s funeral. According to Crowe, the genesis of the movie was “the elixir of Kentucky, the feeling that’s in the air there.” To create that authentic bluegrass vibe, Crowe even tapped Paula Deen—the Food Network’s maven of fried hoecakes—to play protagonist Orlando Bloom’s aunt. “She could cook and hug and talk and do everything at the same time,” Crowe...
