5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Lose With Bill Monroe, February 12, 2004
This review is from: The Father Of Bluegrass: Early Years 1940-47 (Audio CD)
Plain and simple, this is a great CD. In fact, just about any Monroe album you buy will be worth the moolah. I picked this CD at the store because I was getting into bluegrass and wanted some Monroe. The packaging looks kind of dated, but the music is fantastic. Driving through the mountains on a cross country trip, there's nothing better than listening to "Blue Moon of Kentucky", "Bluegrass Breakdown", and all the different incarnations of "Blue Yodel."
If looking for nothing other than an introduction to some great bluegrass and the genius that began it, this would be a great CD to start off with. But for serious bluegrass fans or those who know their Bill Monroe, I would suggest a more comprehensive collection or a box set. Either way, you're getting good music that Britney, Justin and 50 Cent can't touch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not Great, June 16, 2002

This review is from: The Father Of Bluegrass: Early Years 1940-47 (Audio CD)
I thoroughly enjoyed the songs which Bill Monroe made popular such as "In the Pines", "Kentucky Waltz". "Blue Moon of Ketucky", "Footprints in the Snow", Etc. Other less known bluegrass music you would have to be an absolute purist to enjoy.
