There is some great Bluegrass Music on mp3.com: http://genres.mp3.com/music/country/bluegrass/

Bill Monroe, the man who's music came to be known as a whole new Genre never once dreamed his original sound would be on the Internet for all the world to hear. When Flatt and Skruggs Recorded their first Bluegrass Tracks, there was no Internet. Now Bill Monroe along with Flatt And Skruggs are known world wide.

The Internet is taking some great Bluegrass Music by unsigned artists to people all over the world. There is as much professional Bluegrass on the Internet for free download as there is in the Retail CD Shops. The unsigned artists in Bluegrass run the full gamut from amateur to very professional. Many amateurs, as well as the professionals, have a fresh style and sound that is very enjoyable. Bands on the Internet are free to experiment, and they often come up with some sounds that are really neat to listen to.

The First mp3 music files I downloaded were of Bluegrass Music. Even in the earliest days of mp3 music on the Internet, there were many great Bluegrass artists who had their songs up for download on the mp3.com Web Site. More and more Bluegrass artists are placing their music on mp3.com and other mp3 web sites. There is some great Bluegrass Music out there for free downloads. You can also purchase CDs of this music from the mp3.com Web Site. Bluegrass CDs are among the top sellers of all Genres, on the mp3.com Web Site.

If you are a Bluegrass Guitarist, then you should have your music on mp3.com and other mp3 music web sites - see this extensive GNW article:

This will increase your popularity and make your music known world wide. If you play your cards right, put your music on the right mp3 web sites, you can make a few bucks from the downloads. But the promotional benefits will be greater than the money you will receive from downloads.

Many Bluegrass Groups already have CDs recorded. If a Bluegrass Band will put just one song up for free download, you can get a link to your band page where you sell your CD. mp3.com also give you a band page, where you can post your songs and sell a DAM CD, which mp3 com will burn and ship when your fans order one. Your mp3 com band page will get more hits than you have ever dreamed of getting on the Internet. My mp3 com band page gets an average of 131 visits each day. There have been some days when I got 300 Visits to my mp3 com band page. The promotional benefits are great, and should help you book better jobs, after you become well known on the Internet for your Bluegrass Music. Just being on mp3.com should help you sell more of your CDs!
