The New York Times combines Kentucky Bourbon and the wonderful music of bluegrass to bring us a multimedia feature with photographs by Susana Raab.

The accompanying article is by Steven Kurutz who fashioned the itinerary "in the style of a bluegrass song: a defined structure but with ample room for improvisation."
