Style and Sound

"She is newgrass in the truest sense of the word, in that she uses bluegrass instruments to create new original music: it's music for now. As a fiddler, she could be from the 1940s or from 2010; it's timeless. As a singer, she knows the rules of bluegrass and how to sing in her own voice. She's probably one of the few female singers who really knows the nuances of the Ralph Stanley vocal style." —Sam Bush, founder New Grass Revival

Famous quotes containing the words style and/or sound:

    A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows it’s a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourself—or at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.
    Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)

    “Obedience” and “law”Mthat is what one hears in all moral sentiments. But “caprice” and “freedom” might yet be the last sound that morality makes in the end.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
