  • Updated names in bluegrass lyrics, or I mean… it’s 2018

    May 2, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    There are some who believe, mistakenly I think, that bluegrass music hasn’t received its due recognition in the mass marketplace because the song lyrics no longer speak to the condition of the average listener in 2018. Others believe its mass

  • Hey… can you help an artist out?

    April 25, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    Several weeks ago I wrote a column about bluegrass financing (save all your oxymoron jokes for another time!), and we got into an interesting discussion in the comments section below, which I’d like to pick up on, expand upon, then

  • Studio tips and pop psychology – part two

    April 18, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    Last week we were discussing the psychology of the studio experience, and we’ve come now to the critically important matter of the engineer. When we last left the studio, our engineer was mixing an album with 6 different self-producers surrounding him,

  • Another look at life in the studio

    April 11, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    The Night Drivers and I are in the studio this week in North Carolina, recording new material for Mountain Home, so I figured this would be a good time to offer up an “encore presentation” (rerun) of a column I

    April 4, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    As I mentioned last week, after my 300th column, Bluegrass Today has generously given me a few weeks off. I thought this might be the ideal time to dig up my tax tips column from a few years ago. Tax laws

    March 28, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    This is, according to my count (I at least waited until I came up with the same number twice), my 300th column for Bluegrass Today. On the occasion of my 200th column, I gave a quiz, and I didn’t think

    March 21, 2018 | by Chris Jones

  • Thoughts on returning from the Emerald Isle

    March 14, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, and we opted to end our band’s Ireland tour just before the rush. I thought this would be a good time for some random observations related to the tour, but first a word about

  • Did you really invite these people here?

    March 7, 2018 | by Chris Jones

    Greetings from Ireland, where I’m currently on tour. Have you ever housed a bluegrass band? You know, put them up in your own home after a show, or maybe en route to one? I was musing on this subject while on this

  • Can you feel the excitement?

    February 28, 2018 | by Chris Jones
