When dealing with legendary musical pioneers--whether Louis Armstrong or the Beatles or Bill Monroe--all of their recorded work is worth hearing, to say the least. This rousing May 1989 date from Charleston, West Virginia, features the wily veteran Clarence "Tater" Tate on fiddle and hits all the essential stops of a Monroe show: glorious gospel harmonies ("Beautiful Life," "Working on a Building"), fierce mandolin showcases for the master ("Southern Flavor," "Rawhide"), and a selection of Monroe's signature tunes ("Uncle Pen," "Blue Moon of Kentucky"). Sure, Monroe's high tenor may not be what it was in his heyday--he was nearly 78 years old for god's sake--but try listening to his falsetto moans and wails on "Muleskinner Blues" without getting the gooseflesh. --Marc Greilsamer

Like a fine single-malt scotch, age has only made Bill Monroe better and better. Live From Mountain Stage is a great introduction to the work of this master of the high lonesome sound, and the way it captures the energy of his live shows makes it a valuable disc for longtime fans, too.
