Unlike many other "best-of" collections, this two-disc set gathers tracks from nearly all of the stages of Scruggs' career, from his early days as one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, through his genre-defining work with Lester ... see all copies from $21.91! new only from $21.91!
2	Can't You Hear Me Callin' - Bluegrass: 80 Years of American Music (2004) more music like this by Various Artists The title pretty much says it on this deluxe four-disc package from Sony's Legacy imprint. Here on four discs are 109 performances that cover the spectrum of American bluegrass, beginning with its pre-birth roots in Appalachian country string band music via the recordings of Gid Tanner, Charlie Poole & the Blue Ridge Ramblers, and the Carters in ... see all copies from $41.05! new only from $41.05!
3	Grassroots to Bluegrass (1990) more music like this by Mac Wiseman Grassroots to Bluegrass is a 22-track album which feature some outstanding vocals from Wiseman. A Grammy nominee and a tasty one at that. Chip Renner, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.55! new only from $12.55!
4	Classic Bluegrass Collection (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Although most people think of bluegrass as an old form of Southern mountain music, it's actually a fairly recent creation, gaining its shape at the same time as rock & roll in the late '40s and early '50s and making use of the same technology (portable microphones and electric amplification) as rock & roll did to catch on and spread. The new ... see all copies from $19.83! new only from $19.83!
5	Aged to Perfection (2000) more music like this by George Shuffler see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.75!
6	Guitar Pickin' Martyrs (2003) more music like this by Luther Wright & the Wrongs The success of Luther Wright & the Wrongs' 2001 release Rebuild the Wall may have been something of a mixed blessing for the Canadian alt-country act. While it won them a great deal of press and radio attention, and exposed them to a brand-new audience, the album -- a semi-acoustic, bluegrass-influenced interpretation of the songs from Pink Floyd ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.75!
7	16 Gems (1996) more music like this by Bill Monroe In 1992, Columbia/Legacy released The Essential Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys (1945-1949), a double CD that contained 24 of Monroe's 40 released recordings made for Columbia Records between 1945 and 1949, along with alternate takes of the other 16. The 45-minute 16 Gems contains the originally released versions of those songs, so that it ... see all copies from $5.27! new only from $5.27!
8	Bluegrass Beginnings (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Any album that includes bluegrass luminaries such as Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs looks promising. Add a few lesser-known performers like the the Lilly Brothers and the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers and the listener has Bluegrass Beginnings. Bluegrass has become more popular in recent years thanks to Alison Krauss and Dolly ... see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!
9	Bluegrass 1959-1969 (1991) more music like this by Bill Monroe For starters, the only reason this four-CD box didn't garner a perfect score was that the band Monroe led in the early '50s is a tough one to beat -- especially since it contained Jimmy Martin. Musically, the songs Bill Monroe recorded during this very difficult period for bluegrass music -- rock & roll was killing off country, as well as a host ... see all copies from $66.06! new only from $66.06!

11 view cover	Broken Hearts of Bluegrass (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Songs of love, or more specifically, disappointment in love, are a staple in bluegrass. These sad rural stories always find some young man in love with a married woman, a gal who doesn't love him, or a young girl who has gone to meet her maker. Broken Hearts of Bluegrass gathers 20 distressing songs on one disc from mostly first-generation players ... see all copies from $14.08! new only from $14.08!

14 view cover	Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 & 1947 (2008) more music like this by Ricky Skaggs/Kentucky Thunder Bill Monroe had already recorded some sixty songs with his brother Charlie Monroe for Bluebird/RCA Records in the late 1930s (as the Monroe Brothers), but while he was fronting his own group in the early '40s, he felt he wasn't quite getting the sound he was searching for in his head. Then in 1945 he added a singer and guitarist to his band named ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
