Flatt & Scruggs - Foggy mountain Banjo (1961)

Flatt & Scruggs - Foggy mountain Banjo 

  Perhaps the watermark album released back 1961 for this pickin duo of old time bluegrass.  Be warned these two "old timers" are anything but boring.  No question Earl Scruggs is one of the fastest banjo pickers the world has ever seenand just had a way to get your movin'.

    Adding his vocals and rhythm guitar is of course Lester Flatt who compliments Scruggs jig-like sensibilities on virtually every songs.
