Bill Monroe’s “Pike County Breakdown” is a bluegrass classic, originally inspired by the folk tune “Sweet Betsy from Pike.” Monroe transformed the waltz into the driving 4/4 momentum that defined his sound. Section House flips it once more—returning the melody to 3/4 time but fueling it with the fire of a breakdown. The result is the most supercharged waltz you’ve ever heard. Known for their high-energy performances, Section House continues to push the boundaries of modern bluegrass while honoring its deep roots.
