Bill Monroe & the Bluegrass Boys - Blue Moon of Kentucky
Blue Moon Of Kentucky
"Blue Moon of Kentucky" is a #waltz written in 1945 by #bluegrass musician #BillMonroe and recorded by his band, the Blue Grass Boys. Some think the origins may trace back to "Roll Along, #Kentucky Moon", a similar waltz recorded 15 years prior by #JimmieRodgers. The song has since been recorded by many artists, including #ElvisPresley and #PaulMcCartney. The song is the official bluegrass song of Kentucky. In 2002.

John EckmanBill Monroe, Bill Monroe & Friends, 1983 on MCA Records
Bill Monroe sometimes gets called the βFather of Bluegrassβ β no doubt heβs a pretty foundational figure and his Blue Grass Boys may be the source of the genreβs name.
This is a great collection of later Bill Monroe (he passed in 1996) doing duets with performers who admire him and his legacy. The guesting βfriendsβ here include:
- Oak Ridge Boys
- Willie Nelson
- Ricky Scaggs
- Johnny Cash
- Emmylou Harris
- Barbara Mandrell
- Larry, Rudy, and Steve Gatlin
- Waylon Jennings
- John Hartford
- Mel Tillis
Each song is preceded by a little spoken word intro.
My copy is a Gloversville US pressing with Masterfonics mastering from 1983 β via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA.
