Bill
Monroe: Father Of Bluegrass Music (DVD)
-
Bill Monroe was inarguably the single most important and influential
figure in the history of bluegrass music. Fusing the fiddle and madolin
sounds of the Eastern Kentucky Hills with the guitars of rural blues and
adding a streamlined speed and emotional passion to the music, Monroe was
truly the father of bluegrass and a brilliant musician by any standards.
This program features performances by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys,
with interviews and performances from a host of special guests, including
Dolly Parton, Lester Flat, Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs, Jerry Garica,
John Hartford, Marty Stuart, Del McCoury, Peter Rowan, Tim O'Brian and
noted bluegrass authority Paul McCartney. Mark Deming. Own
