No single figure in American music so dominated a genre 
as did Bill Monroe with bluegrass. Monroe's performing 
career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, 
composer and bandleader. Originally forming the group 
The Monroe Brothers in the late twenties, where he 
released a hit single with What Would You Give In 
Exchange For Your Soul , Monroe eventually moved away 
from his string-band tradition and created the group 
Blue Grass Boys, where he d acquired the Lloyd Loar 
mandolin, which became his trademark instrument for 
the remainder of his career. This film features archival 
footage and rare 1990s performances from Monroe's final 
years including many of the greatest songs from his six 
decades of recording, such as "Uncle Pen" and 
"Muleskinner Blues." In addition, it offers unparalleled 
access to Bill Monroe telling his story in his own words. 
Other interview subjects include the Grateful Dead's Jerry 
Garcia and country music legend Roy Acuff, in one of his 
final film appearances. Bill Monroe: Father of Bluegrass Music 
stands alone as the most intimate and detailed portrait of this 
unique musical innovator. Performances by: Bill Monroe & the Blue 
Grass Boys Lester Flatt Emmylou Harris Paul McCartney The Osborne 
Brothers Dolly Parton Ricky Skaggs Marty Stuart John Hartford A 
once-in-a-lifetime Blue Grass Boys reunion featuring Del McCoury, 
Chubby Wise and Bill Keith.
