Answer: Absolutely YES! In fact every time I listen the the Friday and Saturday Night Opry's over 50% of the music presented consistently falls into that category... I guess Nora Jane Struthers' stint with Bearfoot moved her squarely into a bluegrass / old timey string band mindset! I'll have to check out her new album when it becomes available as the sound from that live performance leaves more than a little to be desired. So Sarah darling has gone from being a mannequin in the first Big and Rich music video to being the new face of Moon Pies! That's quite a career trajectory!

I have to say though, my #1 musical experience last year was watching Ralph Stanley hush a rowdy crowd foll of punks and rednecks singing "O Death" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOzgEwoD-vA The Bluegrass Situation’s “Past Their Prime” article is a good read.

But of course, their are many, many talented and deserving artists who never attain widespread, or even limited commercial success-- and the sky is also blue.
