If you want to know the history of Bill Monroe from beginning to end, read this book. This book delves into every aspect of Bill's life from childhood to the last days - the good and the bad. From the honest details of Bill's womanizing, to his creative licensing over songs he "wrote" to his honest love of music and creating an entirely new genre are all revealed in this book. If you want to know the history of Bluegrass and how Bill Monroe not only shaped the music, but how he shaped 100s of amazing musicians who crossed his path, this book provides that insight.

It's detailed, honest and thorough. One of the best books I've ever read about Bill, the history of Bluegrass and everyone involved.

Thank you for writing this book!
