	Bluegrass music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bluegrass music is considered a form of American roots music with its own roots in the English, Irish and Scottish traditional music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants of Appalachia), as well as the music of rural African-Americans, jazz, and blues.
		Unlike mainstream country music, bluegrass relies mostly on acoustic stringed instruments: The fiddle, banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and upright bass are sometimes joined by the resonator guitar (popularly known by the Dobro brand name), and an electric bass or electric upright bass is occasionally substituted for the upright bass.
		Music from the Florida Folklife Collection (made available for public use by the State Archives of Florida) includes a live 1954 recording of "Black Mountain Rag" by The FFA Boys.

	Kentucky Folkweb Articles: Traditional Music in Kentucky
		The distinctive nature of Kentucky music lies in its "homegrown" feeling—music performed in the home, at church, in the community, played for and warmly appreciated by friends and family.
		The community-based aspect of Kentucky music has indirectly served to feed the myth of Kentucky's isolation from mainstream American society, especially in the mountains and hollows of the eastern part of the state.
		Although much religious music by Kentucky performers is movingly accompanied by instrumentation, both Anglo and African American traditions rely on the power of the human voice raised in prayer.
