The worlds finest and creator of Bluegrass-the master Bill Monroe.

Great version!

Bill Monroe takes a full solo on Jerusalem Ridge!. You had to see a lot of shows to see him take solos on some tunes like this. Great video. (I remember being so excited when Monroe took a solo on Muleskinner once. Although the sound is not great here, you can hear some small accents here and there and phrase differences similar to the way the band played at the time (walk down chords a`la Southern Flavor). Also Robert Bowlin puts some blues notes in his solo.
