Free Music Notes for Best Of Bluegrass 1959-66

Free Music Review: Bluegrass Heads North
Hit: 5 Stars

The Newport Folk Festivals were wonderfully eclectic in their definition of "folk', exposing music from the electric blues and folk-rock of Paul Butterfield and Bob Dylan to the high-lonesome acoustic sound of bluegrass, as documented on this first-rate collection. Newport, R.I. was not exactly home turf for bluegrass, but most of the all-time greats are here, performing at or near the peak of their powers, from Bill Monroe (long before the decline of his voice in later years), to the Stanley Brothers (not so long before Carter Stanley's alcohol-fuelled death), to Flatt and Scruggs (shortly before their artistic-philosophy-fuelled split-up: Earl wanted to plug in, Lester didn't). Come to think of it, this could be, serendiptitiously, the single best representation of the early giants of bluegrass. And Flatt and Scruggs even do their smash-hit, the "Beverly Hillbillies" T.V. theme song(!!) Very highly recommended.

Best Of Bluegrass 1959-66 Poster

Although the college kids and liberal urbanites who flocked to the first Newport festivals may have romanticized bluegrass as traditional mountain music, at least they knew great pickers when they heard them. In the early '60s, most bluegrass artists were struggling to build a new audience in the wake of rock & roll and Nashville countrypolitan, and Newport gave them both a venue and a community. The Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Hylo Brown, and especially Bill Monroe responded with a palpable energy and joy. These three discs document some uniformly excellent performances, many never released before, and even those familiar with the Lilly Brothers or Jim & Jesse McReynolds will treasure these rare, live, and exhilarating moments from a pivotal period in American music. --Roy Kasten
