AVID Country presents the latest release in our Five Classic Albums series with a 2CD set featuring five Bluegrass Legends, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.
"Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs: Country Music"; "The Louvin Brothers: A Tribute To The Delmore Brothers"; "The Stanley Brothers: Country Pickin' and Singin'", "Bill Monroe And His Blue Grass Boys: Knee Deep In Bluegrass" and "Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper: The Big Wheel".
Developed in the Appalachian region of America around the 1940s bluegrass music was a near relation to country music and was given its name by the band formed by Bill Monroe and named Bill Monroe & The Blue Grass Boys. Its roots were formed from a hybrid of American blues, jazz and gospel with a large dose of Celtic and Scottish folksong, jigs and reels and Irish dance tunes. Bluegrass music is meant for dancing with many opportunities for the musicians to take solo's and really whoop it up! Acoustic fiddles and banjo's feature heavily in the bluegrass sound again derived from its celtic origins. Our five selections feature the absolute pinnacle of bluegrass musicianship; The Louvin Brothers with their legendary album dedicated to The Delmore Brothers. Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs join the party with "Country Music" while The Stanley Brothers get to "Country Pickin' and Singin'. And that leaves Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper to complete the programme with "The Big Wheel". Prepare to get dancing and whooping!
