This 26 track set originally appeared on one of Bear Family"s subsidiary labels in 1991. Now it makes a welcome return on Bear Family! The Lonesome Pine Fiddlers heard here feature several kings of bluegrass at their peak: Bobby Osborne, Larry Richardson, Ezra Cline, Curley Ray Cline, Charlie Cline, Paul Williams, and Melvin Goins. These sides take us back to the dawn of Bluegrass recording, 1950-54, and capture early Bluegrass at its best: fiery picking, high lonesome harmonies, and glorious songs of heartbreak and redemption.
