Review of Bluegrass: A History by Neil V. Rosenberg

I’ve just posted a review of Neil V. Rosenberg’s book Bluegrass: A History on my blog. This book, fist published in 1985 and reissued in a twentieth anniversary edition offers a scholarly and interesting view of the development of bluegrass music from Bill Monroe to the advent of the progressive movement. It is must reading for anyone who wasn’t there to watch it happen. – Ted
