5.0 out of 5 stars No, not the greatest collection ever created...., March 7, 2010

Though, musically speaking, it's still merits five stars! Anyway, this is just a reissue of The Very Best of Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys (2002), which means it contains only his Decca/MCA recordings - and none of his earlier, seminal RCA or Columbia sides. For a full career retropspectve you have to track down the out-of-print boxed set, The Music of Bill Monroe (1994).

This is not something I would buy for myself, but the person I gave it to seemed pleased with it although he told me he's more a fan of the Monroe brothers. Oh well. My best evaluation is that it's a fine recording for those who like this type of music.

Wow, Bill Monroe was highest caliber of talent in Bluegrass. All of the songs of this collection are awesome. Bill Monroe demanded and got perfection from himself to his band.
