Bill Monroe - Kentucky Waltz free for downloading

One of my favorite Bill Monroe songs.

The Mandolin and the Violin are the only two instruments that sound so beautiful that they bring tears to my eyes. Thanks for this song Mr. Monroe

Interesting! At my house we did the same when I was a kid. My brothers could play most any instrument. They would play this song and my oldest brother would sing. I could neither play nor sing, but I was a good listener.

Wish I was into bluegrass music when Bill Monroe was alive, what an awesome singer and musician. At least I can listen to his music. Beautiful song too.

“It’s amazing when you listen to the early recordings of Hawaiian music. In 1916, John Kameaaloha Almeida & His Hawaiians recorded a song entitled ‘Pua Lilia.’ Thirty years later, Bill Monroe actually took the melody from ‘Pua Lilia’ note-for-note and recorded it as his song ‘Kentucky Waltz.’”-Peter Rowan

I play this on piano, we spend countless nights just singing along to good old country

This tune actually inspired Red Stewart and Peewee King to create the Tennessee Waltz back in 1947. Patti Page picked it up in 1950 and made the Tennessee Waltz a classic.
