Bill Keith is known for his work on Live at the Quick (2002), The Ballad of a Gunfighter (1964) and Bill Monroe: Father of Bluegrass Music (1993).
Keith-style picking signature technique was an extension of the rolling style popularized by the pioneering bluegrass banjoist Earl Scruggs in the 1940s. He transformed the banjo from a largely percussive instrument to one with previously unforeseen melodic potential. In that way he became a bridge between the traditional banjo stylists of the mid-20th century players as Bela Fleck.
