Review
For the most part, the Disky label's As Good as It Gets series lives up to its title, dividing early influential musical genres (gospel, country-blues, hillbilly, swing, etc.) into budget-priced two-disc samplers. As Good as It Gets: Bluegrass includes 52 classic performances by the Louvin Brothers, the Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Rose Maddox, the Green River Boys, and Hylo Brown. While collectors will more than likely already have this material, As Good As It Gets is a perfect place for curious listeners to begin. ~ Al Campbell, All Music GuideTracks
