		His album, The Missing Years is named after one of its songs, "Jesus: The Missing Years", Prine's bemused take on what Jesus Christ did in the decade or two between his childhood and his ministry, a time the Gospels do not record.
		This album won Prine the Grammy Award he had long wanted, and established him as one of the leading voices in contemporary folk music.

		The album has meditative, melancholy sound, typified by the opening track, "Wayside Tavern," a brilliant piece of evocative, lyrical writing.
		The album was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
		Much of this album was recorded in Fleck's living room with an honesty and unpretentious style that will make you wish all music could be this way.

		But despite a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album and album sales topping 700,000, the album's first single, an instrumental with the enigmatic title "Smoothie Song" is just beginning to get limited airtime on a few daring contemporary popular music stations.
		Sure, the picture on the back of the album featuring the band modeling in vintage clothes with Chris Thile and Sean Watkins looking discontented may seem like an attempt to play up the hipness factor, but the band's bluegrass-revival sound never cracks.
		The sound of a plucked guitar is mostly absent from contemporary guitar-oriented music.

		Earle's most recent album release, 'The Revolution Starts Now', is a politically charged and scathing commentary on current world events, released while he was performing at rallies across America in support of the Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry.
		With the re-election of George W Bush to the White House, Earle continues the revolution, bringing the voice of minorities to the stages of the world.

		Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are marketed to by record companies, the most widely-recognized Grammys tend to go to either well-established artists or those being hyped by the recording industry.
		Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligiblilty period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Grammys begins October 1, which results in September being considered the Christmas sales period for the music industry (in which artists generally release big albums to qualify for the next year's Grammy).
		So, for example, John Lennon & Yoko Ono's album ''Double Fantasy'' was released in November, 1980 in music1980, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year/).

	Tom Waits Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The 1975 album Nighthawks at the Diner, recorded in a studio but with a small audience to capture the ambience of a live show, captures this phase of his career, including the lengthy spoken interludes between songs that punctuated his live act.
		His trio of albums from the mid-1980s, Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs and Frank's Wild Years, all featured eclectic instrumentation to some extent (Waits' self described "Junkyard Orchestra"), often marrying soul music horn sections to avant-garde percussion reminiscent of Harry Partch's, or the distorted guitar of Marc Ribot.
		The last of these albums, an off-broadway musical co-written with his wife and the later collaboration with William S. Burroughs on The Black Rider both demonstrated the increasing interest in theatre, which has resulted in a somewhat successful acting career as well as soundtrack work.

		Although her 22-year career is speckled with critical applause, Grammy nominations and undisputed artistic integrity, finding sure footing with a record label has never been an easy task for Lucinda Williams.
		Add to that creative-control disputes with American and RCA, which circumvented the release of her material altogether, and Williams’ career appears to be as stymied by label difficulties as it is riddled with all-around success.
		The 48-year-old and her scattershot label experiences were hardly an issue when she won sweeping critical raves for Car Wheels, nor did they surface when the album garnered her a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1999, and a nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance that same year.

		Their contemporaries included Rank and File, X, Jason and the Scorchers, and scores of others, and while most of those bands have been lost to time, the torch continues to be carried by a new generation of overall-wearers who gave it a new name--alt-country.
		(While he was still in The Blasters, Alvin also recorded an album of acoustic country and folk songs with members of X as The Knitters, largely influential in their own right.) As a solo artist, he's tackled everything from the gritty roots-rock that made his name, to blues-rock, straight-up country, and acoustic singer/songwriter fare.
		His 2000 album Public Domain: Songs From the Wild Land, landed him a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and he's also produced albums by artists such as Tom Russell, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, and The Derailers.

		His last album, "Mule Variations" (1999), sold a million copies, charted higher than any of his previous releases (No. 30 on the Billboard album chart) and snagged his second Grammy Award, for best contemporary folk album (which sounds like yet another failed attempt to categorize an essentially uncategorizable artist's music).

		There are a few tracks sprinkled throughout the album that nod to the band's beginnings, and in these (particularly the evocative version of the traditional "House Carpenter" and the sprightly instrumental opener "Smoothie Song") a possible future for bluegrass may be glimpsed.
