42. Dan Tyminski (Allison Kraus and Union Station, plus "Man of Constant Sorrow" in O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU).

With most rock, you get one 'solo' per song..with Bluegrass, you get one after each verse! :)

(If you want to skip to Dan's short guitar work on this song, it starts around 4:45 or so).

43. Norman Blake

His "Live at McCabe's" is considered one of the great acoustic guitar albums. His version of "Nine Pound Hammer" smokes. Here's an excerpt from the 30 second mark: "Nine Pound Hammer" (unfortunately only a little soloing in the clip).
