“Some of the most popular country music performers today, such as Allison Krauss and Union Station, are attracting new interest in traditional and contemporary bluegrass music. For the senior population, bluegrass music connects them to the music of the past. But the soulful tunes made popular by legends such as Bill Monroe and Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs are being re-discovered today by a new generation of music lovers. Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music, left a legacy of music to the world that is becoming more popular by leaps and bounds.”
O'Neal Davis
“Oh my God, I love country music!”
Lee Ann Womack
“I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'”
Bob Newhart
