I hear a voice calling
It must be our Lord (it must be our Lord)
Its coming from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling
I've gained a reward (I've gained a reward)
For the land where we never shall die
The savior who died, on cruel Calvary
He shed His life blood that the world might be free
So follow His footsteps, up the narrow way
And be ready to meet Him when He calls on that day
The savior has paid a great price for me
He gave His life on Calvary
So I'll follow His footsteps up the narrow way
I'll pay my debt on the great judgment day
Then she closed her eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darling
On that bright and peaceful shore
William Smith Monroe, noto come Bill Monroe (1911-1996), è considerato il padre del bluegrass. Nato in Kentucky, Monroe ha iniziato a suonare la musica country fin da giovane, influenzato dal canto di suo padre e dalla tradizione musicale della regione. Nel 1938 ha formato il suo primo gruppo, i "Blue Grass Boys", che ha portato al successo con brani come "Mule Skinner Blues" e "Kentucky Waltz". Il sound innovativo di Monroe, caratterizzato da un ritmo veloce, armonie intricate e virtuosismi strumentali, ha rivoluzionato la musica country, dando vita a un genere musicale completamente nuovo: il bluegrass. La sua influenza è stata profonda e duratura, ispirando generazioni di musicisti country e folk. Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo "The Essential Bill Monroe" e "Blue Grass Special".
