What did the Wikipedia article on bluegrass music mean when it said that bluegrass never was folk music under a strict definition?
Bluegrass music was developed in the late 40's by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who provided Bluegrass' hard driving sound. Bluegrass was a refinement of 'Old Timey' music which was a evolution of folk music brought by immigrants to the Appalachian mountains. As time went on songs that came from such countries as Ireland and Scotland became the basis of songs that were sung and played with instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Eventually, new songs would be written in the manner of which we know as Bluegrass Music today.
How did bluegrass start?
Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music. It has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants in Appalachia), as well as jazz and blues. In bluegrass, as in jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic instrumentation not using electrical instruments of any kind except for the electric bass guitar.
