5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner for any Bluegrass Fan, February 13, 1999

This review is from: Bluegrass Masters: Newport Festivals (Audio CD)

The CD has raw live recordings which have not been heard in other formats. The cut "Cotton Eyed Joe" is one of the best available and features Monroe and Tex Logan in a mandolin vs fiddle duel which grows in tempo as it stretches to over 4 minutes. Also Scruggs breaks a string in "Foggy Mountain Chimes". I loved the uniqueness of the recordings.
