This 75-minute collection captures Monroe with Peter Rowan, Bill Keith, Tex Logan, Bobby Hicks, Del McCoury, Hazel Dickens, Roland White, and many, many others. Includes rare photos and extensive notes by Ralph Rinzler. "...[C]ulled from both concerts and picking parties, [this recording] reveals what a holy terror [Monroe] was in front of an audience-even of friends, at 4:45 a.m." - Newsweek

If these harmonies don't make you feel something . . . That just means we have different tastes in music, and there's nothing wrong with that
There might be "nothing wrong with that" on a moral and ethical level, but this music is a fundamental part of my being, which means that "that" still makes a big difference to me.
They have always made me feel something and touched my soul...
Born and bred in my geans...
I Miss You Do Daddy, He left this plane 1year ago this past Christmas Eve 2022..I Love you the Most Dad!
He loved Bill Monroe....
I got him a CD a few years back from the Hall of Fame Museum in Indiana. Our people is from Kentucky and our people settled this land, starting in the east. Even before the Mayflower and even after....
May he rest in peace, he sounds like a pure Appalachian soul
@@gavpow11
Yes he was....
Will be 3 years this Christmas Eve...
All of my ancestors on both sides are laid to rest in family cemeteries in the mountains....
Except for my parents they are in my living room in Beautiful containers ( That is what they wanted) but they also wanted to be put in my coffin and so they shall be and I will be buried beside my baby son and my husband of decades, When the time comes...
I am still young and still to see 10 grandchildren grow up and hope to see great grandchildren.
God willing and the creek don't rise....
Also, my grandparents, on both sides are laid to rest, Not in the mountains, That was also their choice.
They were the first out of I can't tell you how many generations, but they moved because they had to, They wanted to stay with their children as they journeyed on, As parents will do to try to help and support.
I do long to see the resting places of my ancestors, some of them I know where they're at, some of them have been moved, some of them I know not where they rest....
But I know their names and I say their names, some I have pictures of and others there were no pictures to be made, some rendering some drawings, sketches of sorts. Descriptions possibly.... But the names are said and they are remembered.
For they do live on....
Among the most beautiful of the thousands of songs Monroe recorded. Bone chilling
Some songs help sooth a sorrowful brain, this is one of them.
Sent here by Nashville ❤️
Mr. Bill Monroe
The Father of Bluegrass....
R.I.P
my brother was 19 when he left this world, what a beautiful song this is.
kirk ballard j
Pure genius. And in the sacred rambling outlaw tradition, with the touch from the Divine on every word and note.
love it My Grandma went to all his concerts in West Virginia back in the day
Melody Dent I'm listening because my grandma from WV died yesterday....
I saw him sing this song as a child in Beanblossom, IN. It was one of the great honors of my life to hear such a master sing from the heart.
Delightful rendition of a wonderful tune!! I am so lucky!! I have a photo Bill Monroe shaking my hand after hearing me play his tune "Gold Rush" and telling me it was a great job!!
Boy this sure is missing the Appalachian fiddle of Kenny Baker. He and Bill played this tune at a festival near Berea, Kentucky and I have yet to hear the like of it done since. It was the truest mountain spiritual I have ever heard.
Was it in Berea?
Yes Kenny Baker was awesome
Western Kentucky born and bred...bill was the best
Love This Song
My Grandmother And My Miom Use. to Song To Me
will always love this song , best song that was ever done, throughout time, it will always be the greatest song that ever was when Bill Monroe sings it
Played at my grandma's funeral. God bless the ol timers.
my sister ellen gozion, does a killer version of it on her first album, "awake awake" & i myself love johnny cash's version.
someone just turned me on to these guys today.
This song stalks me.
"Super hillbilly spiritual;" TOO AWESOME
Beautiful song, No One could sing it like Bill Monroe could....Awesome!!!...Thank You for sharing it!
This song was one of the songs frequently used on a '60s show on tv called "Then Came Bronson" about a man drifting from town to town on his motorcycle. Michael Parks stared as Bronson. A great tv show also.
i used to watch that. i liked michael parks.

same. i live in new york now and yet these songs follow me
wow.. this song is dope.
As pure as music gets....
Listen to the Hayde bluegras band version.😊
Of all the instruments in bluegrass the mandolin was the one that really grabbed my attention. Always loved to listen to Bill play it.
I got to meet Peter Rowan last night. It was a very surreal moment for me. He is extremely down to earth and one of the nicest people I've ever met
So poignant & wonderful...Love & miss you always Vinny...
all the Bluegrass that has been sung in this world Bill Monroe has it beat I hope you're listening bill I hope you're an angel in heaven and I know that you are leading that Angel Band on God's green earth thank you for your music bill you will always be remembered and when I get there can I join your band your friend Jeff

The bluegrass founder. Good stuff
Love This Song My Grandmother And Mother Use To Sing It’s To Me
Yup. I was sent here by "Nashville" too.
Juan Luna Same 😂
Me too
I miss you dad
thank you
great upload and quality
Sure does make me long for my long departed great granny, b.1916 d. 2002
itsameman almost 100
I thought I would check to see how the Stanleys and Osbournes did with this song. THEY NEVER RECORDED IT. How is that possible?
Anyway, Yana from 'Voice of Flanders' talent show is so good she brings tears to my eyes.
Kenny Baker was - still is- my favorite fiddle player!!
miss you ma. miss you pa.
RIP POP
The Grateful Dog movie thankfully put me on to this gem🤪
We lost A real original when he went home.
Real American music......
Wow!!!
Can anyone help me with the lyrics? I can't make out all the words of the last verse...
Mr. Bill with a young Peter Rowan on guitar (Pete didn't know Monroe's version when he played this one). I believe Richard Greene is on fiddle.
If it's good enough for sturgill Simpson, it's good enough for me!!!!
I accidentally found this, and this was the best mistake I have made
aye
A little taste of bluegrass for you Vinny...
Oh my goodness Vinny, I just realized the date this was uploaded was only 2 days before you had to leave us : /
that's deep stuff, em but good
I listen to this when I wrestle bears and fight bobcats as nature interned
Op 👌
Anyone 2025
So too was I.
is there a woman background singer as well as the bluegrass boys?
Anyone here b/c of Sturgill Simpson?
Just watching the interview now. And went to look for this. Continuing the interview now.
wait if this record is nonprofit I can just torrent it right? I mean I pay taxes to keep smithsonian running so don't I already own this record?
LeFruFru
Just give it credit if you use it for anything
I do love to hear Bill Monroe, but he was not Old Regular Babtist. They have no musical instruments in the church.
I love the song for the most part, BUT we should be most excited to go home to see our Savior, not our earthly parents. To which will not be our parents any longer, it will be different in the Spiritual realm. If your looking forward to getting there to see your "parents" or a person,,,rather than the Yehovah God or his Son Yehosuha, (Jesus), then maybe your salvation is in man, instead of the Savior, the one who died and shed his BLOOD for you!! :(
sue cordes That's a sad take on things, indeed.
Jacob Moore But it's the truth Jacob. Call it what you will. Maybe just think about it for a while, and you may realize that it is the truth.
who really knows what happens on the other side anyway be cheerful bro
Not my savior, thank you very much. I also don't believe in the Easter Bunny.
@@klasicnaifolklor I believe JW. Use a J. Anyway I am searching for his true name, I humbly say I no longer believe his name is Yehovah. I apologise.. I now believe it to be Yah. Still searching for truth, but at least I'm praying and searching. Many never go beyond their man made boxes.
