There's much that the contemporary roots music fan will like about Bluegrass Hits.
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver,
one of the best bands in the business, kicks the set off with
"Heartbreak Number Nine," and he's followed by such luminaries as
Claire Lynch,
Alison Krauss, and
Ricky Skaggs. There's also a good selection of newer artists like
Rhonda Vincent,
Rob Ickes,
and Dan Tyminski. With 20 songs, this is a generous collection, and not
unlike listening to an hour-long bluegrass program without any
commercials. For anyone looking for a good introduction to Rounder's
fine cadre of bluegrass pickers, Bluegrass Hits will fit the bill.
