This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best of Bluegrass: The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

A quick glance at the huge back catalog of fab bluegrass owned by the Universal corporation (which includes MCA-Decca, among other labels). As with many MCA-Universal reissues, this disc is a bit too short (only 12 tracks), but it's still full of good music, and could serve as an adequate introduction to the genre. The musicians range from old-schoolers Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers to young 'uns like Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill. Also nice to see the Osbourne Brothers and the Stoneman family getting their propers. Good for anyone curious about this music, but a longer, more in-depth collection woudl also be nice..
