Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys - Philadelphia Folk Festival, Old Pool Farm, Schwenksville, PA, 8-24-1968

Here's the third album I've found of music from the 1968 Philadelphia Folk Festival. This one is a set by Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys.

Here's the introduction to his Wikipedia entry:

"William Smith Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter who created the bluegrass music genre. For this reason, he is often called the 'Father of Bluegrass.' The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. He described the genre as 'Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound.'" 

Here's the rest of the entry:

I don't have much more to say except that the sound quality is excellent, like all the music I've found from this festival. And, like all the music from this festival, this appears to be unreleased.

Oh, and note that the first two albums I posted from this festival (the Doc Watson and Joni Mitchell sets) are from August 23rd, but this one was from August 24th.
 

This album is 27 minutes long.

I believe this is the only cover photo from this festival that wasn't actually taken at the festival. Instead, it's from the Newport Folk Festival in 1969. The original was in black and white, but I converted it to color with the use of the Kolorize program.
