Bluegrass is Bill Monroe's baby, and many of his finest recordings are in this stellar collection. In 1950 he signed with Decca, and began by cutting classics like New Mule Skinner Blues, I'm Blue I'm Lonesome, Uncle Pen, Gotta Travel On, Roanoke, Molly And Tenbrooks, Footprints In The Snow, and Blue Moon Of Kentucky. The Blue Grass Boys on this set include Jimmy Martin, Carter Stanley, Sonny Osborne, Gordon Terry and Kenny Baker. Unavailable for years, this is haunting, intense and passionate music.
Ultimate Bluegrass!
