   Harold,  country and southern gospel cannot compete with bluegrass head to   
   head and they know it!  So they avoid direct competition like the plague :)   
   For example Carl Jackson put out an album, a tribute to the Louvin Brothers   
   called Livin Lovin Louvin.  The title cut is "Cash on the Barrel Head".   
   Anyone who has heard it knows that it would be impossible to play it on the   
   radio and then follow it with "Garth".  Even the old country masters like   
   "George" would sound three days dead in comparison.  The corporations do not   
   like bluegrass, it cuts into their monopoly.   
      
   Get to know the bands you like and buy their albums on ebay.  Easiest way to   
   get good grass, or pick them up at concerts and festivals.  For me it is the   
   older stuff.  I can't get away from the sounds of Jimmy Martin, Seldom   
   Scene, The Country Gentlemen, and Skaggs.  For you it may be others.
