The Redbucks: A Stompin’ Good Ole Time

I used to think I hated country music. It was the one genre of music I could not stand to hear.  I swear it made my ears bleed. OK, I’m being just a little dramatic, but the point is that I am not a country music fan…or at least I thought I wasn’t.

All my preconceptions of country music changed when I went to see the The Redbucks perform live at Jiangjinjiu 将进酒 酒吧 last month.   Not only did I love every minute of their performance, I found myself dancing around the room, buying their CD “All That Glitters” and then going home and playing it on repeat for two days straight.

Have I been converted to country music?  I’m not so sure, but I do know I am now a massive, die-hard fan of The Redbucks. An ensemble of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, upright bass and “soul-wilting” vocals, The Redbucks are a mix of bluegrass, old-time, and country (or Americana if you will), and they may be my one special exception to country music.
