This review is from: 25 Bluegrass Classics: Vintage 60's-Songs (Audio CD)

While this is not as wonderful as the same company's "Outlaws, Renegades and Rogues" (Songs of the Badman), as a sample of some fine bluegrass from the '60's by groups that mostly did not make it on the crossover charts, it still is worth hearing. As with the other Rural Rhythm disc I mentioned, Hylo Brown's tracks are one of the highlights here. However, none of the artists or songs are really weak. If you like bluegrass and do not feel your collection of it is large enough, this is a worthy addition. However, if you like traditional country and folk music, the "Outlaws" CD is simply a sensational value, and holds up well under much repeat listening.
