Any one recommendations?

"Old and in the Way"- Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, some great banjo and mandolin. Check out the song "Catfish John"!

Not sure if they actually use banjo's but wouldn't be suprised, check out '.357 string band' they're pretty good I know they have a myspace page.

Robert Crumb played the banjo in his band R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders that you might like. They played old-timey music durring the 70's and 80's with an awesome 20's string band vibe. Definitely give "My Girl's Pussy" a listen.
