Description:
The father of bluegrass is feted by peers, protégés, and spiritual descendants in this concert film, set in Nashville and featuring 15 country artists and groups performing Monroe's classic songs. The two-disc The Legend Lives On reaches deep into the heart of Monroe's canon with Ricky Scaggs's cover of "Uncle Pen" (named for Pendleton Vandiver, the family member who taught Monroe to play his trademark mandolin). Sparks fly with the populous Del McCoury Band's take on "John Henry," Charlie Daniels's propulsive "Rockin' in My Sweet Baby's Arms," and Marty Stuart's "Rawhide," complete with sweet bluesy preface. Connie Smith and the Whites pair up for a satisfying gospel excursion, "Walkin' in Jerusalem," Ralph Stanley and the Virginia Boys mix-and-match lovely bluegrass textures, a bouncing beat, and plaintive vocals in the fascinating "Can't You Hear Me Callin'," and soloist Tim O'Brien is superb on the stark "Highway of Sorrow." --Tom Keogh
