Legacy: A Tribute to the First Generation of Bluegrass is a Sugar Hill Records compilation from 1997 (SUG-CD 9202), credited to various artists. Its fifteen tracks are by different acts: Byron Berline with Vince Gill, the Lonesome River Band, Ricky Skaggs, Peter Rowan, the Laurel Canyon Ramblers, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Hot Rize, Sam Bush with Jerry Douglas, the Seldom Scene, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, Lonesome Standard Time, Marty Stuart, Jonathan Edwards with the Seldom Scene, Doc Watson, and a closing duet by Ricky Skaggs and Tony Rice.

The set was assembled from existing Sugar Hill material rather than recorded for the album: one of its tracks, Peter Rowan’s “Sweetheart You Done Me Wrong,” comes from his 1985 album The First Whippoorwill. Ricky Skaggs’s “Memories of Mother and Dad” is the third track, and “Big Mon,” with Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas, is the only instrumental listed in the Bluegrass Discography.
