Try an audiobook, a film &c that you know practically by heart so you don’t need to engage your brain for the story. Alternatively, an audio blog or story you can get lost in without analysing anything lucidly.
Bluegrass actually has a really diverse background and a lot of the songs are about protesting and the hardships faced by people at the time. It also has a lot of influence from the Mississippi blues and Irish and Scottish folk music. "White noise" would be more like kid rock or pedo ted nugent
bluegrass pulls its history from lots of influences, blues, jazz, Scottish/Irish folk ballads, field hollers, traditional appalachian mountain music, did you know the banjo may have originally came from Africa?
Yes, and bluegrass is not easy to play. The musicians have to play their instruments as both melody, harmony and rhythm, at the same time. It requires talented and skilled musicians.
Correct. 'Bluegrass' as we know it was defined and codified by Bill Monroe and a his Bluegrass Boys in ~1935, drawing from traditional Appalachian fiddle music and early string band recordings that all drew from the traditions mentioned. It doesn't always appeal to the 'sophisticated' mindset....🥴
Why not both :) but yeah I definitely lean more into the newer "progressive" style like Greensky & Trampled. Steep Canyon and Steeledrivers for more traditional. Can't say I was ever a big Bill Monroe style fan, blasphemy, I know :P
I've played the old-time stuff from all kinds of genres for years and years, and my tastes are centered there, but I certainly appreciate musicianship of any kind. I like it all, but my heart pulls me irrevocably to the rhythms, synchopation, drive, and melodies of the old tunes. 😉
Use the other setting, it's the sound of a blender making store bought margherita mix, mayonnaise being spread on wonder bread and the sound of the neighbor kid trying and failing to do a kickflip off the back porch 900 times in a row.
Tabernacle choir is in there too sometimes. "Mohammed's radio" some folks call it - pareidolia for the ears. I'd avoid listening to the voices too closely though...
I had a similar experience at an archery tournament after the 9/11 disaster.
We stayed at a state run lodge in Bumfucked Oklahoma.
The local band at the boat dock only knew one song.
They played Rollin In My Sweet Baby's Arms until the park ranger mercifully shut them down at midnight.
White Noise!

If you try “crunchy granola” you get distant farmers market, Birkenstocks on gravel, and proselytizing about veganism.
You forgot the washboard and the guy playing his spoons.
