Bluegrass Standards Book (Rittor Music Mook)

The modern Americana/bluegrass scene has been invigorated by the rise of artists like the Punch Brothers and Grammy-winning Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings. Bluegrass, a form of traditional American music, boasts numerous session standards, much like jazz. However, the only comprehensive collections available are in Western publications, and many of these songs are relatively unfamiliar in Japan. Where should you start learning? This collection of must-know songs has been compiled by Arita Sumihiro, who studied in the authentic American bluegrass scene, into a collection of exquisite lead sheets. The 56 songs feature melodies carefully crafted to be usable in sessions with instruments other than bluegrass. ●Recorded songs Alabama Jubilee Angeline the Baker Arkansas Traveler Beaumont Rag Big Mon Big Sandy River Big Sciota Bill Cheatham Billy In The Low Ground Blackberry Blossom Cattle In The Cane Cherokee Shuffle Cluck Old Hen Cuckoo's Nest Daybreak In Dixie Devil's Dream Down In The Willow Garden Down Yonder East Tennessee Blues East Virginia Blues Eighth Of January Fisher's Hornpipe Flop Eared Mule Foggy Mountain Special Forked Deer Gold Rush Golden Slippers I Saw The Light Jerusalem Ridge John Henry June Apple Kentucky Waltz Liberty Little Cabin Home On The Hill Little Maggie Lonesome Road Blues Nine Pound Hammer Old Joe Clark Puddy On The Turnpike Ragtime Annie Red Haired Boy Red Wing Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms Sally Ann Salt Creek Shady Grove Shenandoah Sittin' On Top Of The World Soldier's Joy St. Anne's Reel Sweet Georgia Brown The Kitchen Girl Turkey In The Straw Wayfaring Stranger Whiskey Before Breakfast Will The Circle Be Unbroken
