| | FAME Review: The Country Gentlemen Sugar Hill Collection: The Country Gentlemen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | The Country Gentleman have a long -standing reputation in Bluegrass music.Their name is mentioned in the same breath as Bill Monroe,The Stanley Brothers,and Flatt & Scruggs,as the originators of todays bluegrass sound.While Monroe wanted to preserve the sound of his music,the country Gentlemen moved on. |
 | | The collection is made up from two albums previously released on Sugar Hill, till now not released on CD; "River Bottom" and "Sit Down Young Stranger." The two albums have slightly different personnel. |
 | | "Sit Down Young Stranger," the excellent Doyle Lawson on mandolin and vocals, James bailey on banjo, and the ubiquitous Mike Auldridge on Dobro. |
