The story behind
Bill Monroe wrote and sang "Kentucky Waltz" in 1946. It was one of his most notable songs on Country & Western charts, reaching third position. The song has a waltz rhythm, as its name indicates, and feels like a story of the land of Kentucky, with a melody that seems to float above the words. The duration is two minutes and forty-nine seconds, a time sufficient for the melody to become present and stay in the mind. It is a bluegrass song, with a touch of nostalgia and a direct connection to the place it mentions. ↓ Skip to chordsG
