Mark Clark Genealogy of Bluegrass (111* d) RE: Genealogy of Bluegrass 10 Nov 09


Nice list, Amos. But a lot of those albums are reissues so the dates are the dates of the reissue, not the recording. For instance, Bill and Charlie Monroe never recorded together after 1938 and many of Bill's pre-bluegrass recordings have been reissued as well. Remember, Monroe had named his band "The Blue Grass Boys" long before he'd established the music that others labeled bluegrass.

We all know that creative musicians have "big ears" and can absorb a great many influences. But saying that Charlie Poole influenced bluegrass because he was earlier doesn't really establish causation.

It's nice to see new faces in this thread. It's been going for over nine years and contains a lot of good information.
