Not the kind of Country I like.......2007-05-14

I bought this CD for one song I heard and saw Vince Gill interprete
on the fantastic Grand Ole Opry at Carnegie Hall DVD. This bluesy song
called "If You Ever Have Forever In Mind" seemed the "utmost" to me
with a Ray Charles touch. For that reason I wanted a CD where this song
was on. However the rest of the songs are like most country songs since
the early 90's: it ain't country, it's POP except for another two fine
songs and that's the reason why I finally give it 3 stars.

Amazon.com essential recording

Fresh off their pioneering stint with Bill Monroe, guitarist-vocalist Lester Flatt and banjo master Earl Scruggs waxed 28 seminal cuts for Mercury between 1948 and 1950. All 28 appeared on the Complete Mercury Sessions, which has been replaced by this far-less-generous 12-song collection. Still, the duo and their Foggy Mountain Boys attack this music with an urgency that even Monroe's Blue Grass Boys were hard-pressed to equal. Scruggs's three-fingered banjo technique is as important to bluegrass as any other innovation, possessing a rolling quality that keeps the songs moving. "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Farewell Blues" are banjo tour de forces that will never be matched. Original gospel numbers find Scruggs applying his fingerpicking technique to guitar, à la Merle Travis, and feature sharp group harmonies. Most of the original secular songs have become bluegrass standards, even though the pair refused to call their refined mountain music bluegrass. --Marc Greilsamer

Best of Flat & Scruggs.......2007-01-16

If you are already a fan of Bluegrass, you probably don't need this review as you know these guys are amazing and you have most of these recordings somewhere else. If you are just getting started appreciating the music, this is a great cd to get. It has a good range of music and *all* pieces are absolutely stellar!
I got this for my kids as I know the material is good and they just love the positive energy of the music. "Flat & Scruggs", "Bill Monroe", "Old and In The Way", and Springsteen's "Seeger Sessions" are all big favorites in my house.

Classic Flatt & Scruggs.......2002-02-10

Even if you're only a casual fan of bluegrass music, this is essential listening. After playing their last dates with Bill Monroe in early 1948, Flatt and Scruggs began a two-year relationship with the independent Mercury Records. Between October, 1948 and October, 1950, they recorded 28 tracks over four separate sessions. The twelve tracks presented here include such originals as "My Cabin in Caroline," "We'll Meet Again Sweetheart" and the banjo showcase "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"--all of which have become classics. Unfortunately, this disc omits other originals like "Down the Road," "So Happy I'll Be," "I'll Never Love Another" and "Is It Too Late Now," among others. [1992's "The Complete Mercury Sessions" included their entire recorded output for the label, but it has since gone out of print.] The Foggy Mountain Boys at various times included guitarist Mac Wiseman, mandolinist Curly Seckler and former Monroe sidemen bassist Cedrick Rainwater and fiddler Art Wooten. Unlike on their recordings with Monroe, Scruggs' innovative three-finger style picking was pushed to the forefront on these recordings. In addition to being a stellar banjo player, Scruggs was a gifted guitar player as well. Listen to his Merle Travis-inspired playing on "God Loves His Children," for example. While Flatt and Scruggs would have greater commercial success after their switch to Columbia, these are essential recordings. And unless you want to shell out some big bucks for the Bear Family box sets, this--for now--is the disc to own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Definitely an essential collection of mid-1960s music from Mac .......2007-01-02

With over 50 years in business, Rural Rhythm Records has built a catalog that connects many dots from past to present. Since its 1955 creation, Rural Rhythm has released hundreds of classic performances by many legendary bluegrass and old-time musicians such as J.E. Mainer, Don Reno, Red Smiley, Mac Wiseman, Vassar Clements, Hylo Brown, Bill Harrell, Jim Eanes, and many others. This album is part of that archival catalog. The label owes its Arcadia, California start to Uncle Jim O'Neal whose vision was to release the music of many top bluegrass and old-time musicians in the 1950-70s, seeking success where Starday had failed by producing records of limited appeal by lesser known, albeit talented, musicians.

Mac Wiseman was born on May 23, 1925. He hails from Crimora, Virginia but lives on Percy Priest Lake, near Nashville. He was born in 1925, the same year the Grand Ole Opry started. In 1944, Mac began his career as a DJ in in Harrisonburg, Virginia. In 1946, he worked with Molly O'Day, then in 1948 an original member of Flatt and Scruggs' Foggy Mountain Boys, and then in 1949 with Bill Monroe. From 1952-1956, Mac with his band "The Country Boys" recorded several hits for Dot Records including "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy," "Love Letters in the Sand," "The Ballad of Davy Crockett." From 1957-1963, he was an A & R man (Artists and Repertoire) for Dot Records and ran the company's country-music department. While at Dot, he was instrumental in the success of Pat Boone's career. It was Mac who suggested that Pat record the song "Love Letters in the Sand" which became a smash hit for the young singer. In 1958, Mac one of the founders of the Country Music Association (CMA) and its first secretary. In 1965, he performed at the first bluegrass festival in Fincastle, Virginia. In 1966, Mac managed WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia. That was the year that he recorded this album for Uncle Jim's Rural Rhythm Records.He was in fine country voice for songs that also include some uncredited accompaniment with drums, jew's harp, Dobro, harmonica, autoharp, electric bass, and others.

In more recent time, Mac's kept busy with music. In 1990, he was elected president of R.O.P.E. (Reunion of Professional Entertainers) in Nashville. One of the goals of the organization is to build a retirement home for country music entertainers. In 1991, he worked at the revived Old Dominion Barn Dance, Richmond, Virginia. In 1992, he worked at the Willie Nelson Theatre in Branson, Missouri. In 1993, Mac was inducted into the IBMA's Hall of Honor. In 1997, he recorded with "The Groove Grass Boyz." In 2001, Wiseman recorded a duet with his old friend Johnny Cash: "When It's Reveille Time in Heaven."

Songcarriers and musicologists would be particularly interested in this type of archival material. This set of 25 classics is reissued in Rural Rhythm's "Heritage Collection." It contains original mixes from 1966 along with some bonus tracks from the Wiseman master vault archives. Liner notes were written by country music historian Colin Escott based on an interview conducted with Wiseman. For the price and volume, this is an essential collection of mid-1960s Wiseman music for your own library.

Don't expect to hear vocal harmonies, elaborate arrangements or the same level of clarion studio recording quality we hear today. Rather, just enjoy and relive a classic country sound of yesteryear. Most of the cuts span about 2 minutes apiece. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Album Description

The Autoharp, invented in the 1870s, a fad in the 1890s, became a virtuoso instrument among these and a few other players in the early to mid 20th century. Spirited breakdowns, sentimental and gospel songs — some played as instrumentals — and even a bluegrass song are presented here in this re-release of the only documentary of traditional Southern Autoharp players. Includes 14 previously unissued tracks. Recorded, edited and annotated by Mike Seeger. Song notes by Charles Wolfe. 30+ page booklet, 38 incredible tracks! 72 minutes of music!

Great Old-Time Music.......2006-11-18

Those of us who love the old-time country music, have heard loads of records with fiddle, banjo and mandolin, all wonderfull instruments. What is more rare is to hear a CD with the wonderfull autoharp as the main, and lead instrument. This CD is a great opportunity to hear how the instrument was treated by the, mostly self-tought, old time musicians. I especially enjoyed listening to Kilby Snow, who has his very own special way to play the harp.
I think anybody who have had the pleasure of playing the harpe, could benefit from listening to these skilled old masters.
It is highly recomendable. I give it 5 stars. Not because it is the best CD ever made, but because it is the best I've heard with the Old-Time Country Autoharp as the main theme.

The best Bill Monroe CD ever with his F-Style Mandolin!!!.......2003-01-08

That's probably the only CD I like, I guess or I might like other ones, never know.

Well, I like this one called "The Best of Bill Monroe" & he plays an F-Style Mandolin with the fancier scroll & he wears a cowboy hat.

Bill Monroe is a bluegrass mandolin player & I like him.

This is Bill Monroe's Greatest Hits CD saying "The Best of Bill Monroe".

The songs I like are:

1. Blue Moon of Kentucky
2. Footprints in the snow
4. Uncle Pen
5. In the pines
6. I'm working on a building
7. Gotta Travel on
8. Scotland
10. I'm Sitting on top of the world &
12. My Sweet Blue-Eyed Darlin' (with Ricky Skaggs)

Ricky Skaggs sings with Bill Monroe on song 12.

I hope everybody likes Bill Monroe & his mandolin picking?

I enjoyed it.

I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classics.......2002-04-05

These are classic songs. This is a great album to help anyone appreciate musical history, and a great introduction to blugrass music. It's not as rich sounding as modern bluegrass recordings, but it has a nice feel to it. It has a similar feel/sound to '30s Bob Wills.

Every track a gem.......2000-08-02

If you're already a Bill Monroe afficianado, then chances are you aren't looking for collections like this one (unless you want to take advantage of the clear sound resulting from the remastering on this disc -- not a bad reason to acquire this disc even if you already have all the tracks on it from other collections), but rather hunting down obscure recordings and rare tracks wherever you can find them, so I'll gear my remarks here towards the Bill Monroe neophyte. This collection is an excellent starting point, since every track on it is a gem. Bill Monroe is universally acknowledged as the father of bluegrass (which proposition is an understatement; he is also its grandfather, midwife, crazy uncle, and country cousin) and this collection lays out the reason why -- so if you don't like these songs, bluegrass ain't fer you. The version of Mule Skinner Blues on this track, something of a signature song for ol' Bill, has some of his best yodeling (if you can't like that track then _music_ ain't fer you); Uncle Pen is a real foot-stomper; these versions of the old traditionals I'm Working on a Building and I'm Sitting on Top of the World belong in every folk collection; and you won't find a better version of My Sweet Blue Eyed Darlin' anywhere else either.

Bill Monroe - High (Lonesome) Art.......2000-06-15

Listen to Mr. Monroe attack the vocal as the band comes out of the first instrumental break on "Footprints In The Snow" - the clarity, the energy, the staggering mastery and the resulting sense of joyous freedom, and you'll wonder for a brief second how anyone else would dare call themselves a singer of songs. This collection is where the old wierd America (to paraphrase Greil Marcus) meets the last exhalations of the Jazz Age. A rare synthesis of post WWII bouancy and hard scrabble life in green, remote hills. Amazing.

not just great banjo - it's great music.......2003-04-25

I got this CD when I was in high school and we were doing a video for an English assignment, and the climactic scene needed some redneck hillbilly music to accompany the characters' accidental discovery of Black Gold in their backyard while burying their cat. So my buddy Tom stole this CD from his dad so we could use "Let Me Fall" on the soundtrack, and it somehow ended up at my house after the dust had settled. For about 5 years it was a novelty CD, used only to elicit a laugh out of casual Case Logic browsers, but then one day I must have been [happy*]or something and I put it on and listened, and found out that it's a wonderful CD. I don't give it 5 stars though because I'm sure there must be better banjo CD's somewhere, because what are the chances that a guy like me would have just stumbled on the best one? That's what I thought.

And you thought the Banjo was only for Bluegrass ..........2001-03-07

Not on this collection. The styles exemplified include old time mountain music, parlor tunes, celtic and even African banjo! And yes, some bluegrass. All of the players are indeed masters of their styles, and all deserve much more attention. For the banjo fan, this is a must-have, but even the casual listener will find most of the tracks listenable and highly enjoyable.

Generous anthology of prime gospel bluegrass.......2005-08-16

Within bluegrass circles the Stanley Brothers have always been hailed as one of the genres leading and most unique proponents. Brother Carter is thought by many (including Bill Monroe) to have possessed the single greatest lead voice in the genre, and brother acts that followed (most notably The Louvins and Everlys), found Carter and Ralph's harmonies to be a nearly unreachable standard. In more recent years, with Bill Monroe having shuffled off this mortal coil and the popular phenomenon of "O Brother Where Art Thou," those outside the festival circuit have been drawn to Ralph Stanley as bluegrass elder statesmen, and with a little discovery the unparalleled brilliance, creativity and raw execution of the Stanley Brother's deep catalog of recordings.

This latest anthology cherry-picks 18 selections from a trio of gospel albums that the Stanleys waxed for King and Starday in '59 and '60: "Hymns & Sacred Songs" "For the Good People" and "Sacred Songs from the Hills." By 1959 the duo had been through three other labels (Rich-R-Tone, Columbia and Mercury) and was settling in for a fairly long stay at King. As they transformed their mountain string music into bluegrass throughout the '50s, they'd scattered songs of faith throughout their catalog, but upon landing at King they laid out full albums of sanctified material by William York, Bill Monroe, The Louvin Brothers, and the Stanleys themselves. The Clinch Mountain Boys lineups heard here includes the legendary Chubby Anthony, George Shuffler, and Curly Lambert. The true-stereo source tapes are crisp and provide a broad soundstage for the band's quartet singing. Bill Dahl's liner notes are informative, setting out these recordings place within the Stanleys' career, and providing rich song detail.

The Stanley Brothers are well represented in the CD era, with discs and box sets devoted to the various phases (and labels) of their career. Their work for King and Starday has been regularly anthologized, but Varese's 18-track collection fits perfectly between King's single disc 12-track anthologies and reissues, and their hefty 4-disc set "Early Starday-King Years 1958-1961." The latter, which includes all of the sides presented here, is a great buy for Stanley aficionados and bluegrass buffs, but those just wanting just a generous helping of the Stanley's bluegrass faith should start here. Those wanting an overview of their secular work for Starday and King should check out Varese's 2004 release, "The Essential Masters." [Review by redtunictroll@hotmail.com]
