Although you can likely trace the history of bluegrass back to 17th century settlers, who arrived on American shores with the musical influences of their homeland (especially Ireland and Scotland), modern day bluegrass first became a recognized musical force in the 1950's. A combination of Celtic folk music, blues, Southern spiritual/gospel music and eventually pop/rock, bluegrass conjures up images of the rural lifestyle, especially in the Appalachian Mountain region. This collection from the "Rough Guide" series offers a multi-faceted look at the different sounds of bluegrass music, with selections from Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Larry Sparks, Claire Lynch, Country Gentlemen and more.
