Can someone suggest the names of popular bluegrass tunes that hear the bass walking four to the bar (rather than playing 2-beat)?

MTIA.

Best regards to all,

Lots of vintage country has 4 beats to the bar, but in terms of
Bluegrass, try "Foggy Mountain Special". I believe the guy is playing
2 beats to the bar until the solo. Also, try "jump the Missippi"
which can be done as a BG tune. Also, check out "Setting the Woods On
Fire" by the Dillards.

If you want some crossover country to BG, write to me off list, Bill.
