4 out of 5 stars + 1/2 stars..A Bluegrass Treat.......2003-01-02

This 1987 anthology and its companion release (ROUNDER BLUEGRASS TWO)are technically out of print. However, volume two has been repackaged in its entirety as the 2002 release BLUEGRASS MOUNTAIN STYLE, and volume one has ten of its tracks (4, 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 22) included on the 2002 collection TRUE BLUEGRASS.

Rounder has long been one of the premier bluegrass labels since its inception in 1970. As such, there are several reasons to get your hands on a copy of this release:

1) Half of these songs come from albums that Rounder has let go out of print. Among them are mandolinist Jack Tottle's gorgeous "Wildwood Mandolin" and Boone Creek's heartfelt reading of Bill Monroe's "Dark As the Night."

2) There are two previously unreleased tunes: Joe Val's performance of Bill Monroe's "Along About Daybreak" and the Bailey Brothers' "Blow Your Whistle."

3) "I'm Gonna Put You Down (And Leave You There)" is perhaps the rarest song in the Rounder canon. Written by fiddle player Tracy Schwarz and performed by his band The Old Home String Band; this song was released on the only bluegrass EP Rounder ever issued.

When all is said and done, this is 66 minutes of first-rate bluegrass music. Get this one while you still can. RECOMMENDED
