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.
Although it is too soon to see definite trends, the most notable fourth generation musician to emerge so far is probably Chris Thile, who released solo bluegrass albums at age 13 and 16 (Leading Off and Stealing Second respectively), before reaching wider fame as a member of the bluegrass-influenced acoustic band Nickel Creek.
In addition, around this same time, a number of mainstream country artists, including Dolly Parton and Patty Loveless released bluegrass albums, bringing the music to new audiences who'd not previously listened to it.
