Title: Overview of Bluegrass
Review: This collection is a great overview of how bluegrass has changed over the last 80 years. Other reviewers disagreed with the choice of adding the Byrds and the Dixie Chicks, but to assume that Bluegrass has not or can not change from the groundwork laid down by Flatt and Scruggs and the Carter Family would be limiting and fatal to Bluegrass itself. The Folk movement has added it's stamp to modern Bluegrass, a la the Byrds. The Newgrass Revival, here represented by Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Mike Marshall, is equally important. I would have liked to see an Avett Brothers or Old Crow Medicine Show track as well, just to show that Bluegrass continues to grow, even as we rediscover and reinterpret the roots of it all.
