Review

Uncut (10/02, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...terrific hybrids of old-time folk, blues and gospel, characterised by heaven-sent close harmonies."
CMJ (6/26/00, p.25) - "...These country spirituals are truly a treat for country and bluegrass fans..."
No Depression (9-10/00, pp.109-10) - "...Pure moonshine: straight, direct, and still, very potent..."

Title Note

The Monroe Brothers: Charlie Monroe (vocals, guitar); Bill Monroe (vocals, mandolin).

Includes liner notes by Charles Wolfe.

Digitally remastered by Toby Mountain (Northeastern Digital, Southborough, Massachussets).

Long before singer/mandolinist/bandleader Bill Monroe became known as the father of bluegrass, he and his brother Charlie had a duet called (no surprise) the Monroe Brothers. These recordings from the mid-1930s are one of the cornerstones of both country and bluegrass. Bill Monroe had a piercing voice (that "high, lonesome sound"), and a powerful, energetic mandolin style. He and his brother Charlie's harmonies were important to the development of the "brother sound" in country music (the Delmore, Louvin, and much later, the incredibly influential Everly Brothers).

Much of WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE consists of traditional gospel songs ("This World is Not My Home," the title song), but there are a few secular tunes, including "Watermelon Hangin' On That Vine" and the chilling murder ballad "On the Banks of the Ohio." The remastered sound is surprisingly good, making this set a good bet for those into the roots of traditional American music.
