RARE & FINE - UNCOMMON TUNES OF BILL MONROE.

Mike Compton likely the most dedicated student of Bill Monroe’s music over the past 50 years, was uniquely qualified to animate a set of rarely heard and unreleased instrumentals by the Father of Bluegrass. That’s the story behind Compton’s new album Rare & Fine - Uncommon Tunes of Bill Monroe, set for release on March 4th.

The thirteen tracks, all but one composed by Monroe himself, were culled from the large collection of hand-traded CDRs, cassette tapes, and videos that Compton has built over his career. The songs are brought to life by a star band of Nasvhille’s finest acoustic musicians. Stunning triple fiddles come from michael Cleveland, Laura Orshaw and Shad Cobb. Jeremy Stephens plays guitar. Russ Carson plays banjo. And Mike Bub plays bass.
