Not a Bad Book
Rating  (2)

This book does not have music, just words and chords. The Bluegrass Fakebook has all the same songs plus the music score, which is helpful in learning the tunes.

Review of "Bluegeass Songbook"
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-06-02
The choice of songs in this songbook is excellent. It's full of good, often played bluegrass songs. The guitar tablature for the songs is the most unusual I've ever seen, but it does trace out the simple melody for the tunes for those not familiar with them. Also, the rhythm designation, which only shows the downbeat for each measure leaves much to be desired. I like to see tablature with markings for half, quarter, eighth notes, etc. so I can get the full rhythm, not just the downbeats. Bluegrass songs have many versions of lyrics as perfomred by different artists, but I like the lyrics chosen in this book very much. Still, in summary, it's a lot of good, often played songs all crammed into one book.

Every single jam session I have been to somebody or practically everyone has a copy of this book. Most are very dog eared meaning that they get used. This book has probably 99% of all the songs you will hear at a typical parking lot jam. Highly recommend.

An Essential Songbook
Rating (5)

This book is aimed at the singer attempting to get to the basics of that "high lonsesome" sound that characterizes traditional bluegrass singing. But even if you can't sing a lick, I find it very useful for the musician who is looking for bluegrass songs to add to his or her repertoire. Plenty of classics with lyrics and chords....great for figuring out play alongs if you're a begininning bluegrass musician. My only regret is that some songs couldn't be licensed for inclusion, but that doesn't keep this from being a great compilation.
