CD In 1936, Bill and Charlie Monroe were riding the southern tour and radio circuit to regional stardom. Separating them from the myriad of similar brother duos was a keen ear for gospel melodies and a fierce passion and drive emanating from Bill's mandolin and sharp tenor vocals. That same year, they recorded these-their earliest and still most popular recordings. Just a Song of Old Kentucky is the second volume of a comprehensive four-volume series of the Monroe Brothers' complete RCA/Bluebird recordings. At long last available, these are the magical sides that introduced Bill Monroe to the world. "I'd still rather listen to Bill and Charlie Monroe than any current record. That's what America's all about to me." -Bob Dylan (in Rolling Stone)
