It’s common for artists to “cover” songs that were huge hits for other performers, but only rarely does the cover version do justice to the original.
Well I’m about to share one of those rare instances with you right now…
Travis Tritt singing (and picking) ‘Little Georgia Rose’
If you enjoy Country music you’re likely quite familiar with the music of Travis Tritt.
But you might be surprised to hear that Travis’ musical background expands far beyond Country.
In fact, he has performed as both a singer and musician in several musical genres, including Bluegrass.
Remembering Robby Steinhardt
“And all your money won’t another minute buy…“
-–”Dust in the Wind” (Kansas)
Like many teenagers back in the day, I enjoyed listening to Rock music.
And during that period of the 1970’s American Rock was anchored by the group Kansas, a close-knit group of singers and musicians whose vocals and instrumental work blended together on a level that seemed to approach perfection.
“The Cry of The Heart”
“You know, there’s really only three female singers in the world: Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. The rest of us are only pretending.“
-–Dolly Parton
That’s some pretty high praise right there, especially coming from someone who is a Country Music giant herself.

Watch these ‘Cotton Pickin Kids’ perform the ‘Foggy Mountain Breakdown’…
If you’re a fan of Bluegrass Music you’re surely aware that most Bluegrass musicians play multiple instruments, and they play them all extremely well.
I’m always amazed at the mastery these talented men and women display while playing whatever stringed instrument they happen to have in their hands at the time.
But what amazes me most of all is the way some youngsters take to music like a fish takes to water.
Today’s inspiring video features a prime example: The Cotton Pickin Kids performing their own rendition of the Bluegrass classic “Foggy Mountain Breakdown”.
