A study of Bill Monroe's contributions to American and world music. Spanning over 1,000 separate performances, this work presents a chronological list of Bill Monroe's commercially released sound and visual recordings.

Beginning with the musical cultures of the American South in the 1920s and 1930s, this title traces the genre through its pivotal developments during the era of Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys in the forties. It also describes early bluegrass' role in postwar country music, and its trials following the appearance of rock and roll.
