Although the early days of bluegrass saw performers adhering to a strict, if unspoken law of 'men only,' women performers began challenging that rule early on, to carve out an endearing legacy in spite of narrow social boundaries. This 2001 compilation explores women's vast contributions to this unique American art. It's a release with substance, featuring 19 choice tracks, many of them collaborations: Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, The Cox Family with Alison Krauss, Kathy Kallick with Laurie Lewis, and one 4-woman track, Eight More Miles, by Laurie Lewis, Claire Lynch, Lynn Morris & Rhonda Vincent.
