Cryin' Holy Unto the Lord is a 1991 album and the last studio album by Bill Monroe & the Blue Grass Boys, released by MCA Records, now Universal Music Group. This album was produced by President of Opry Entertainment, Steve Buchanan.

## Critical reception

Michael McCall of AllMusic writes, "An all-gospel album propped up with some stellar guests, it includes Ricky Skaggs, Ralph Stanley, the Osborne Brothers, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, and Mac Wiseman."

Stewart Evans writes in his review, "Ultimately, this album is not one of Monroe's all-time greats, but it's quite a nice work, all the more impressive considering the length of Monroe's career."
