OLE SLEW FOOT

High on the mountain what do you see
Bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me
You better get your rifles boys before it's too late
The bear's got a little pig and headed through the gate
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Doin' ninety miles an hour takin' thirty feet a jump
He never been caught and he ain't never been treed some folks say looks a lot like me
I saved up my money and I bought me some bees
They started makin' honey way up in the trees
I chopped down the tree but my honey's all gone
Ole Slew Foot's done made himself at home
He's big around the middle...
Winter's comin' on and it's twenty below the river's froze over so where can he go
We'll chase him in the gully and we'll run him in the well
And shoot him at the bottom and we'll listen to him yell
He's big around the middle...
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".
