The Bluegrass Hall Of Fame is a 1962 compilation honoring country music but primarily bluegrass. This is taken from a 1976 reissue released by Starday/Gusto and is a vinyl rip.

High Fidelity is a rising group whose love and devotion to traditional bluegrass is unsurpassed. The name alone says it all: High Fidelity. Herein lies the heart of what this group of young performers is all about. The High Fidelity lineup band took shape in early 2014, leading up to a competition for new bands at the SPBGMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America) convention. Guitarist and lead vocalist Jeremy Stephens, fiddle player Corrina Rose Logston Stephens, and banjo player Kurt Stephenson assembled a list of decades-old songs that they could flawlessly recreate on stage, including some gems from the Stanley Brothers. Before long, the band which would soon expand to include Vickie Vaughn on bass and Daniel Amick on mandolin realized they could put their own stamp on the material without losing the integrity of the original recording. With that newfound perspective, High Fidelity handily won that year's contest.

America is a huge, diverse country with Yankee home cooking and Tex Mex cuisine. People ski on frozen Vermont mountains and surf the big waves in sun drenched California. One thing that binds it all together is TV. Television is American culture, a common thread that holds it all together on a nightly basis as we assemble around our living rooms to watch our favorite characters and shows. Twenty years ago, TVT Records was born with its first release, Television's Greatest Hits. Now after having sold millions of its TV theme compilations around the world, America's #1 independent label for the past 4 years running is returning to its roots. In celebration of TVT's 20th Anniversary, it is releasing the ultimate TV collection, All Time Top 100 TV Themes, featuring themes drawn from all the original sources.

If you’re a regular visitor to our website, then you know that we generally offer an installment of our Digital Roundup column on Wednesdays, but you’re caught us on a slow week: we’ve only got a single item joining our digital catalog. As such, we’re bypassing the column in favor of shining a solo spotlight on this item, but to our way of thinking, it more than deserves the individual attention, given that this one release actually includes 11 – count ‘em – 11 albums.
