Check out “Cover Laydown” — a hip blog about who’s covering what songs….
Cover Laydown focuses on “folk covers of familiar songs and re-imagined versions of folk songs
because in the folk tradition, music belongs to the community.”

In this edition, blogger BoyHowdy previews Grey Fox 2010 artists’ recent recordings.
FYI, BoyHowdy is a long-time fan of bluegrass and attendee of Grey Fox.
