The name taken in 1984 by the Nashville Bluegrass Band was obvious, even audacious. But the quintet more than lived up to it, helping to define the sound of their namesake genre like few other bands of the 80s and 90s, propelled by the compelling lead vocal pair of Alan O’Bryant and Pat Enright. This week in Chattanooga, the NBB will be formally inducted into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, but Enright won’t be there, as he passed away in August. Craig offers an appreciation of the singer and the band.
