Y’all Wire lists top bluegrass videos

YallWire.comY’all Wire, a large country music video web site, has announced their Top 8 Bluegrass Videos for 2008 to date.

Here’s how this measurement system rates bluegrass videos for 2008:

  1. Rhonda Vincent, Heartbreaker’s Alibi
  2. Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Sadie’s Got Her New Dress On
  3. The Grascals, Me and John and Paul
  4. The Gibson Brothers, I Got A Woman
  5. Sam Bush, The Rivers Gonna Run
  6. Lori Willcuts, Black Eyed Susans
  7. Ryan Shupe and The Rubberband, Banjo Boy
  8. 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.
