二十世纪80年代中期,第三代蓝草音乐家将蓝草推向鼎盛。期间的蓝草音乐和以往相比有了不少显著变化,音乐家们对主流蓝草重新做了诠释。高质量音响设备使得每个乐队成员都可以单独表演,“wall of sound”风格也开始形成。仿效Tony Rice的音乐模式,吉他领奏也逐渐普遍起来。电贝司替代传统原声贝司也开始为大众接受,而其他电声乐器则继续遭到激进派蓝草圈以外的抵制。非传统的和音也为更多人所接受。另一方面,这一代人通过新的演奏方式使得更多的传统歌曲重新焕发生机。
Contemporary Bluegrass developed during the '80s, when traditional bluegrass had incorporated the innovations of progressive bluegrass. It isn't as jazzy or experimental as progressive bluegrass — sticking to familiar traditional forms — but it is slightly less classicist than traditional bluegrass. Essentially, it is an updated and fresh version of bluegrass for modern times.
