Usually when you think of looping, you think jam bands (Keller Williams for example) or hip hop. What you DON'T think of typically is bluegrass or Americana, or at least I don't. That being said, if you haven't watched the video about, do so now. In it, Barbara Lamb demonstrates how she performs one of the songs, I Was Wondering, off of her new album Twisty Girl. Barbara is a master fiddler who's played for years and years and tries to push the accepted envelope for the instrument. Think of it as electro-fiddle music for the future. While admittedly most of the album has a more traditional ring to it, there's enough modern spice here to catch the ear.
