Y’all Wire lists top bluegrass videos
Y’all Wire, a large country music video web site, has announced their Top 8 Bluegrass Videos for 2008 to date.
The video ratings are based on the site’s Multivariate Audience Meter, which measures a video’s popularity of “audience engagement.” In addition to online views, this measure includes how often a video is selected as a favorite, forwarded to others, embedded elsewhere, tagged, receives comments and is rated by Y’all Wire users.
Here’s how this measurement system rates bluegrass videos for 2008:
- Rhonda Vincent, Heartbreaker’s Alibi
- Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Sadie’s Got Her New Dress On
- The Grascals, Me and John and Paul
- The Gibson Brothers, I Got A Woman
- Sam Bush, The Rivers Gonna Run
- Lori Willcuts, Black Eyed Susans
- Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband, Banjo Boy
- Yonder Mountain String Band, Classic Situation
Y’all Wire also publishes a weekly list of the top 7 bluegrass videos, and you can browse all of them on their site.
Artists or labels who would like to see their videos appear at YallWire.com can register online.

This past week's American Idol had the various contestants interpreting the music of The Beatles, and one competitor, Chikezie, started his version of She's A Woman with a banjo and a fiddle.
