Music Of Bill Monroe (hardcover)
Book (Item 604890) University Of Illinois, 2007 — Condition: New Copy
A massive hardcover tome to the enduring music of Bill Monroe – the Father Of Bluegrass! Of course, bluegrass roots and traditions go a couple hundred years deep, but there's no overstating the mandolin player and Blue Grass Boys leader – and this book is really all about the music. It’s essentially the full discography of Monroe's recorded repertoire with extensive annotations. What makes the book great, though, is the biographical notes that go along with the discographies. Essential reading for lovers of bluegrass American acoustic music in general. Hardcover, 347 pages. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
