I want to burn a CD or two for my boss's kids aged 11 and 14 who are into bluegrass mostly. I'm looking for some good song recommendations that feature guitar and/or mandolin and in the bluegrass/folk punk genre. Tunes to inspire them but also maybe some songs that are a little simpler, that they could learn themselves. Help me out guys?

I don't know about the folk punk scene, but as far as bluegrass:

"The lighthouse tale" - Nickle creek
"Fly away" - Alison Krause
"Foggy mountain breakdown" - various artists
"You are my sunshine" - various artists

Artists:

The steeldrivers
Alison Krauss and Union Station
Tony Rice
Nickle Creek
Sam Bush
Jerry Douglas

Many more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
