Neil V. Rosenberg met the legendary Bill Monroe at the Brown County
Jamboree. Rosenberg's subsequent experiences in Bean Blossom put
his feet on the intertwined musical and scholarly paths that made
him a preeminent scholar of bluegrass music. Rosenberg's memoir
shines a light on the changing bluegrass scene of the early 1960s.
Already a fan and aspiring musician, his appetite for banjo music
quickly put him on the Jamboree stage. Rosenberg eventually played
with Monroe and spent four months managing the Jamboree. Those
heights gave him an eyewitness view of nothing less than
bluegrass's emergence from the shadow of country music into its own
distinct art form. As the likes of Bill Keith and Del McCoury
played, Rosenberg watched Monroe begin to share a personal link to
the music that tied audiences to its history and his life--and
helped turn him into bluegrass's foundational figure. An intimate
look at a transformative time, Bluegrass Generation tells the
inside story of how an American musical tradition came to be.
