Simply the best bluegrass band ever

"If anyone wants to know what bluegrass sounds like at its very finest, get any of the Johnson Mountain Boys releases. Rounder has released around six of the nine as of early 2009, and since the last one was originally released in 1992, the label has been woefully remiss in completing the release of the remaining JMB titles in their catalog.
The Johnson Mountain Boys elevated the traditional sound of bluegrass to the lofty heights that the founders and pioneers like Monroe, Stanley, Flatt, and Scruggs, might have imagined in their wildest dreams. Even if you are not a bluegrass fan, you should have a JMB disc in your collection just as a bluegrass reference. If you like bluegrass, go straight to your favorite music provider and buy every one of the available JMB discs. Do not pass go and do not collect $200."
