This week on Pickin- The High Lonesome Sound of Bluegrass. The first generation of artists who helped to launch and define the genre epitomized the sound that came to be known as bluegrass- that high pitched tenor voice. Monroe truly helped to define it with the distinct pitch that when you hear it- you know who is singing (if you don't- just google Body and Soul by Bill Monroe and you'll hear that distinct falsetto...). Tune in for a classic musical theory and history lesson on the true distinct high lonesome sound of bluegrass. Pickin on WHRV airs Sunday nights at 7 on 89.5
