"As this collection shows the IFG has presented an amazing array of bluegrass performers over the decades. Michael Cleveland, Alison Krauss and Chris Thile all appeared as teens on the IFG stage already displaying jaw-dropping virtuosity along with established and legendary players such as Greg Cahill & The Special Consensus. If you're wondering why there are no performances on this CD from the 1970's, it wasn't until 1983 that the first bluegrass band appeared at IFG. As a result, this CD represents a fairly complete picture of bluegrass through the years from the Battle Ground stage."
