Earl Scruggs - Classic Bluegrass Live 1959 1966
Review by Enrique Guadiz
Earl Scruggs' Classic Bluegrass Live 1959-1966 is a must-have album for any bluegrass enthusiast. The album features 22 tracks of live performances that showcase Scruggs' mastery of the banjo and his unique style of playing that has influenced generations of musicians.
The album captures the energy and excitement of live performances, and listeners can hear the crowd's enthusiastic response to Scruggs' virtuosity. The tracks range from traditional bluegrass standards like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms" to lesser-known gems like "Salty Dog Blues" and "Ground Speed."
Scruggs is joined by a talented group of musicians, including his longtime collaborator Lester Flatt on guitar and vocals, Paul Warren on fiddle, and Josh Graves on dobro. The interplay between the instruments is tight and seamless, and the vocals are soulful and heartfelt.
