Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 11/1/96, p.70
"...Thirty bluegrass and country-music wizards...pick'n'sing 17 of Monroe's compositions with virtuosity and flair. As long as bluegrass attracts super vocalists like [Del] McCoury and instrumentalists like guitarist David Grier, Monroe's legacy will never die."
