Free Music Review: Every track a gem
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're already a Bill Monroe afficianado, then chances are you aren't looking for collections like this one (unless you want to take advantage of the clear sound resulting from the remastering on this disc -- not a bad reason to acquire this disc even if you already have all the tracks on it from other collections), but rather hunting down obscure recordings and rare tracks wherever you can find them, so I'll gear my remarks here towards the Bill Monroe neophyte. This collection is an excellent starting point, since every track on it is a gem. Bill Monroe is universally acknowledged as the father of bluegrass (which proposition is an understatement; he is also its grandfather, midwife, crazy uncle, and country cousin) and this collection lays out the reason why -- so if you don't like these songs, bluegrass ain't fer you. The version of Mule Skinner Blues on this track, something of a signature song for ol' Bill, has some of his best yodeling (if you can't like that track then _music_ ain't fer you); Uncle Pen is a real foot-stomper; these versions of the old traditionals I'm Working on a Building and I'm Sitting on Top of the World belong in every folk collection; and you won't find a better version of My Sweet Blue Eyed Darlin' anywhere else either.
