Customer Reviews:

CD is perfect Complement for DVD..........2005-08-22

I read the review warning to not buy the CD and skip straight to the DVD. Fortunately, the DVD/CD set was already bought for me as a birthday gift before I could act on the review and bypass the CD. Simply put, the CD has some great songs by some incredible artists. The sound quality and performances are excellent. If you attended the 2003 TBF and had to pick 13 tracks I'm sure most of us would come up with a different mix of songs than the next guy but these tracks do well in capturing my experience. Plus... this CD is listener friendly (which I appreciate)and if you play it in fornt of people who aren't into bluegrass they may begin to understand why you are. (DVD is excellent too)

Buy the DVD instead!!.......2005-07-21

I think that the choice of music on this CD is poor in comparison with what they had to choose from at the festival. The selections on the CD are few in number and shallow in depth. One would have thought that with four very long days of music to choose from, they could have come up with more tracks and better choices. The DVD has better music and as a bonus you get to sit right in front of these great musicians as they play and get a real feel for the wonderful personalities behind the music. Better yet....make the pilgrimage to Telluride and endure the hail and rain and brutal sun. It's worth it every year!

Rounder Records presents "TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL: 30 YEARS", featuring the top Bluegrass artists around today...located in a box canyon, surrounded by the lush and snow-capped peaks of the San Juan Mountains - Telluride Colorado...mixing old and new material alike digging into the Americana roots with unique, tender pickin' on the instruments and lyrics that are fresh today as they were decades ago.

Appearing with all the gusto of the genre were Boomchicks, Sam Bush & Friends, Kasey Chambers, Hackensaw Boys, Horse Flies, Nellie Kane, Nickel Creek, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tim O'Brien Band, String Cheese Incident, The Waifs, Keller Williams and Yonder Mountain String Band...wowed the crowd with heart-wrenching selections and crowd pleasers.

Several highlights are "FISHIN' IN THE DARK", featuring the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, always up for any of the festivals..."MOLLY AND TENBROOKS", with Sam Bush & Friends bringing in a Bill Monroe tune.."CLUCK OLD HEN", featuring The Horse Flies with the old traditional song from them thar mountains.."I WISH", featuring The String Cheese Incident with Martin Sexton on vocal solo, the wonderful Stevie Wonder classic tune..."WHEN I DIE", with The Waifs featuring Donna Simpson and Vikki Simpson on vocal harmony, great job!
