AlbakiReads Editorial

A broad bluegrass and old-time repertoire book for banjo players

Built around more than 200 bluegrass, old-time, country, and gospel standards, this banjo songbook is designed as a shared repertoire resource for informal picking sessions and ensemble playing. Each selection pairs melody with bass line, lyrics, and chord symbols, while the accompanying two CDs provide a recording for every song included. Beyond the tune collection, Bruce Dix adds material on playing bass and a step-by-step method for moving songs into different keys. The book belongs to a coordinated series for the usual bluegrass-band instruments, allowing players working on banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, or bass to use the same song selection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Banjo players building a repertoire of traditional American music
  • Bluegrass jam participants who want lyrics, chords, and recorded song references
  • Musicians who want practice with transposing songs into other keys
