Roots Music,
By Happily Retired (VFW) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonesome Valley (Audio CD)
The liner notes describe this music as the roots of country rock, but this is music that is coming into its own. The host of a local radio program recently claimed that bluegrass is the fastest growing musical genre in America. It's growth that is no doubt helped by sales of the soundtrack mega-hit, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Well, if you liked that and have an appetite for more of the gritty, yearning, "high lonesome sound", here's another collection of Old-Timey music that you'll want to check out. These recordings span every decade from the '40s to the '90s, but all are faithful to the earthy, traditional bluegrass sound. Credits for the earliest recording are for Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys in 1947. The compilation is arranged chronologically (roughly) with the Carter Family providing bookends. There are a couple of pleasant surprises in here. Alison Krauss sings a wistful lead in her clear voice on, "When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart" and if you like Jerry Garcia and David Grissman together, you'll find them on, "Old & In the Way". Good stuff. |
