This film dates from the mid-70s, but these kinds of band contests take place all over the United States, even today. Not only does Bluegrass Skyline feature talented amateur pickers in both bluegrass and old-time styles; it includes fine solo performances by contest judges Lamar Grier (of Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys) and Tracy Schwartz (New Lost City Ramblers).

All in all, a very enjoyable film, and one that I'll be recommending to friends who love this music as much as I do. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can even watch it free.
