The Breakdown – 'The High, Lonesome Sound of Bill Monroe'

It’s high, it’s lonesome – it’s The High, Lonesome Sound of Bill Monroe.

LISTEN: APPLE PODCASTSMP3

Unpacking Bill Monroe’s bluegrass legacy through this 1966 compilation of Decca recordings is no small task – so Patrick and Emma have enlisted some high-profile help, including the legendary Sonny Osborne (a 14-year-old debutant on this album) and the wonderfully insightful Laurie Lewis.

Season 2 of The Breakdown is sponsored by The Soundtrack of America: Made In Tennessee. Visit TNvacation.com to start planning your trip.
