Andreas; Campbell Mercer; Tommy Scott ; Buddy Hogan; Sylvia Monroe; Gordon Parker; Raymond Davis; Pete Kuykendall. Arranger: Charlie Monroe. While history has virtually ignored Charlie Monroe in light of his brother Bill's seismic accomplishments, this comprehensive box set reveals a career deserving of serious respect in its own right. I'M OLD KENTUCKY BOUND: HIS RECORDINGS 1938-1956 covers practically everything in the Charlie Monroe solo catalog including his entire stints on RCA Victor, Bluebird, and Decca in a beautifully packaged four-disc set that is accompanied by an informative 60-page booklet. A must-have for the Bluegrass completist and for fans of rootsy WWII-era entertainment.
