Firefly music

Cafe Society
1

Ok, I got into Firefly, not too long ago. I really like the music in the show, too, but I had some questions on it.

  1. What’s the style of music they’re using? Is it country or bluegrass or something else? Is there a difference between country and bluegrass?

  2. What are the instruments they’re using? I picked out a guitar and a fiddle, possibly a banjo. What else? Also: what makes a fiddle a fiddle instead of a violin, or is there a difference?

  3. Does anyone know of any good music in this particular style? I’d love to hear some more of it.

Thanks!
