Rosenberg Bill Monroe Discography finally available
The latest effort from noted bluegrass music author Neil Rosenberg, The Music Of Bill Monroe, which Richard Thompson profiled for us late last year, is now shipping from the University of Illinois Press. It was written in conjunction with the late Charles Wolfe.
This is what might be described as a bio-discography, including a complete listing of the many Monroe commercial recordings, along with biographical essays.
