Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Store

Curious about bluegrass? Well then this is the perfect collection for you by the man who just so happened invented the genre, Country Music Hall of Fame Member (inducted in 1970) and the Father Of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe. Mr. Monroe single-handedly brought the mandolin to the forefront and inspired generations of musicians including fellow Country Music Hall of Fame Member Elvis Presley (inducted in 1998), Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Del McCoury, and launched the careers of Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, Dave “Stringbean” Akeman, Ricky Skaggs, among others. This 2 CD Anthology includes such bluegrass classics as “Uncle Pen,” “Blue Moon Of Kentucky,” “Raw Hide,” “New Mule Skinner Blues,” “Big Mon,” “Walking In Jerusalem,” and many more. During your next visit to The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, be sure to check out Bill Monroe’s famous 1923 Gibson F-5 mandolin made by master luthier Lloyd Lear currently on display in the Precious Jewels exhibit.
