A sortable table of 548 tunes and songs Bill Monroe—Father of Bluegrass—is known to have recorded. He famously ascribed to himself many titles written by or co-written with others. This list probably doesn’t clear up everything, but it’s a start. I count 157 fiddle tunes/instrumentals, 98 gospel songs, and 292 secular songs, and one whose category is undetermined: Halfway to Morehead (anyone?).
Thanks to Neil V. Rosenberg and Charles K. Wolfe for their exhaustive research in The Music of Bill Monroe, University of Illinois Press, 2007 (highly recommended for any Monroe nerd!) If we’ve missed something—lots of private recordings exist out there—or if you have corrections, don’t hesitate to let us know!
