Answers: It sounds like it might be C&W musicans.
Rowland Salley composed Killing the Blues, and recorded it on an album produced by Happy and Artie Traum in 1977, Mud Acres in the Woodstock Mountains on the Rounder label.
Yes, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have a version on "Raising Sand", but it sure doesn't sound like the TV add.
A much nicer version of Killing the Blues was recorded about 5 years ago by Hit and Run Bluegrass out of Ft Collins, Colorado, now in Nashville on their Beauty Fades album.
Killing the Blues was recorded by the original members of Hit and Run: Rebecca and John Frazier, Todd Livingston, Erin and Aaron Youngberg.
