When you think about acoustic guitar collections you must think about gospel and bluegrass music. Both type of music use acoustic guitar to a staggering degree and some of the finest acoustic guitar music is found on collections of gospel and bluegrass. In fact, gospel and bluegrass are tied together like siblings. It is very rare that you will perform one and not the other.
