Bluegrass meets Irish Celtic

I became seriously interested in bluegrass about 10 years ago. Over the past few years, the Chieftains have teamed up with some of the bluegrass greats and created some outstanding music. The videos below is a wonderful example, with the Chieftains joining Earl Scruggs on Sally Goodin. Below that is the Chieftains and Ricky Skaggs performing Cindy and Cotton Eye Joe. Both these songs are from the CD "Down the Old Plank Road" and is a very worthwhile purchase. These videos were taped in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry.

A good mix! Seeing that lots of Irish Music is folkish.
I really liked the second vid, step dancing to Celtic Bluegrass!
