By the late Fifties, bluegrass had nearly lost its audience, but, thanks to the fledgling folk revival, bluegrass musicians suddenly found themselves playing their supercharged string band music for large, enthusiastic audiences on campuses and in urban folk clubs. A new generation of young people was inspired to pick up the banjo, fiddle, or Dobro. Almost overnight, the bluegrass "scene" sprang into existence. In time, some of these players, like Bill Keith, David Grisman, and Mike Auldridge, began to bring jazz, blues, even rock into the music; such experiments helped spawn an exciting new movement in bluegrass. Among the first recorded evidence of these new ideas was Mike Auldridge's 1972 album Dobro, paired in this reissue with Blues and Bluegrass. Featuring guitarist David Bromberg, fiddler Vassar Clements, and members of Auldridge's band Seldom Scene, they were instant classics. Stately, smooth, polished, even elegant, this music swings like crazy.
