Artist: Various Artists Title: Bluegrass Early Cuts 1931-1953: Classic Recordings Remastered Info: 96 tracks over 4 CDs providing a potted history of the roots and development of Bluegrass music. Most forms of music change to the point where in the course of time they become almost unrecognisable. Contemporary Jazz Blues and Rock styles for instance bear little relation to earlier forms of the genres. There is much more continuity in Bluegrass a style of music in which modern groups and musicians still pay homage to the recordings and music of their predecessors. This collection highlights the recorded works of pioneer Bluegrass artists and also those who may have influenced them. It is basically a journey back in time but where most collections choose to commence with the earliest items and work forward this one does things the opposite way round. The first two CDs and a part of the third concentrate on bluegrass recordings from the 1940s and early '50s; the remainder of the set covers artists from the 1930s and early '40s who many scholars consider to have been an influence on the earliest Bluegrass performers. A detailed accompanying essay tells the story with biogs of the featured artists. Label: Jsp This item was added to our catalog on Friday 27 October, 2006
