Video Pick Of The Week
Bill Monroe was a towering figure in country music who invented bluegrass and reinvented the mandolin influencing countless artists he father of bluegrass. Beginning with his Bluegrass Boys in the ’40s, Monroe defined a hard-edged style of country that emphasized instrumental virtuosity, close vocal harmonies, and a fast, driving tempo. In celebration of Monroe’s 115th birthday on Sunday the 13th I would like to highly recommend the outstanding 1993 documentary Bill Monroe: Father Of Bluegrass Music which features archival footage and rare 1990s performances from Monroe’s final years, including many of the greatest songs from his seven decades of recording, among them Uncle Pen and Muleskinner Blues. In addition, it offers unparalleled access to Monroe, following him from the backstage of the Grand Ole Opry to his farm outside Nashville and on the road in his legendary Blue Grass Express tour bus. Interview subjects range from the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia to country music pioneer Roy Acuff in one of his final film appearances
