Bill Monroe used to say that when he was a boy, he would go out into the woods in Kentucky and sit near a stream or walk a trail and just sing to himself... a little shy and afraid no one would like his voice... Later, a love for the blues and his childhood experiences with gospel music led to the development of his awesome falsetto range combined with touching lyrics and the same kind of raisin' like Mr. Holcolmb...

that's the "high lonesome" sound.
