Bill Monroe
So much has been said about the founding father of bluegrass music that it would be nice if there was an all-encompassing collection of Bill Monroe's music to accompany the legend. Although the almost -correctly titled Anthology comes close, there is still a wealth of Columbia and RCA-Victor recordings missing from this Decca-centric collection, ...

The Chieftains
In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep ...

The Kentucky Colonels
Appalachian Swing! by the Kentucky Colonels (featuring Clarence White) is one of those records that has simply refused to die. Issued without any promotion in 1964, it nonetheless went on to become one of a handful of contemporary standard bluegrass LPs, right up there with Flatt & Scruggs' Carnegie Hall live album. It survived being chopped down ...

by
Various Artists
Like its companion volume (Bluegrass Mountain Style), this compilation offers 22 tracks of classic bluegrass culled from the enviably deep Rounder catalog, but unlike the other album, this one focuses mainly on strictly traditional material and performances, with only a couple of departures into progressive territory. There are great contributions ...

Revenge of Blind Joe Death: The John Fahey Tribute Album

by
Various Artists
John Fahey was one of the most influential acoustic guitarists of his generation, and his impact was felt even by people who never heard his music. Fahey's championing of rural blues masters such as Charley Patton and Bukka White before the "blues revival" made such things fashionable helped save an entire school of music from the scrap heap of ...

Tom Adams/Michael Cleveland
Tom Adams and Michael Cleveland, two fans of honest fiddle and banjo music, casually pulled together a list of their favorite traditional bluegrass tunes, borrowed a PA from the nearby Presbyterian church, and set up in the back corner of their local coffee shop. The plan was to record the show onto mini-disc, and use that recording to listen back ...

Bluegrass and Old Timey Music

more music like this
by
The Charles River Valley Boys
One has the tendency to relate certain types of music to certain record labels. Prestige, for instance, is known for its jazz roster. It comes as a surprise, then, to the post-millennium listener when the label reissues roots music recorded during the 1960s. But it shouldn't. Once upon a time, Prestige worked side-by-side with Vanguard and ...

Byron Berline's Fiddle & a Song is a star-studded affair with numerous guests, for the most part recorded in 1995. It's hard to beat "Sally Goodin," a traditional bluegrass favorite, with veterans Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs prominently featured. But there are other worthwhile tracks as well; ex-Sundance member Vince Gill sings lead and plays ...

With music such as this there is always the conflict between the desire to insure optimum recording sound by working in a studio environment and the urge to capture live excitement by setting up the microphones right in the club. In the case of an artist such as fiddler Stoneman, who fits in the category of beyond fabulous but under-produced, the ...
