Songs and Tab
|
This site is a compilation of songs. The user chooses an artist, Earl Scruggs, for example and the site plays song after song of the same genre though not necessarily the same artist. Using this site is a good way to be introduced to blue grass artists and songs that the user might not know about. |
|
Higly recommended site -- the name is self explanatory. |
| Bluegrass Lyrics |
A great site to get documented bluegrass lyrics by artist, genre, and all songs. |
| Banjo Newsletter |
MP3's available on this site as well as tab, archives, and most things of interest to banjo players. |
| The Idaho Project |
A compilation of songs known to have orginated in Idaho. In 2007, Gary Eller held a grant from the Idaho Humanities Council to collect historically-based songs of the Snake and Salmon River region. Songs about actual Idaho people, places and events provide a unique window into the region's rich heritage. To date, Gary has collected about 1000 songs related in some way to Idaho, of which about 100 predate 1910 and about 200 are historically rooted. These songs ranged widely and included somber event ballads, stage songs, hilarious parodies and operas. The early songs are being preserved in written and recorded forms that are accessible to present and future generations, and in public performances. |
