Just received some exciting news about a soon to be released Jan. 15, 2007 Bear Family Monroe boxset. This is the scheduled but as always subject to change. The final set of the excellent previous 3 sets of Monroe's recorded songs released by the German Bear Family will be called:
BCD-16637-DK, BILL MONROE "My Last Days On Earth, 1981-1994. Picking up where the 3rd boxset left off it starts with the much aclaimed '81 Master of Bluegrass instrumetal LP. Then followed the '84 Monroe&Friends and '85 Monroe with Stars of Hall of Fame. Then came the excellent new songs of the '87 Bluegrass 87 and the '88 Southern Flavor.
In '89 was the Live at the Opry and his final release of the '91 Crying Holy Unto the Lord. The Box set will have additional outtakes, unreleased songs and the final unreleased songs/instrumentals from 1994 which promises to bring out some really great new Monroe material for you Monroeatics. There will be a large booklet full of unpublished photos too. I could use a new shot of Monroe sounds for 2007!
