Glad all their performances got recorded. It's like going back to late 40's or early 50's when bluegrass was just starting to get noticed. That's the bluegrass I grew up with. So fine.
These guys are so good for a reason most people don't get..They DO NOT indulge the Clarence White guitar crap that took over Bluegrass til this day..They also don't play one song after the other in the key of B....These guys great...
Man, I just love this and not just because my name is McKinley. Haha. I can’t remember if I found this because of the Shawn Camp/Guy Clark connection or Jerry Douglas and all Jerry has done over the years. This is just magical. Thank you from an old guy out west.
@@roycurry8487 Flatt and Scruggs avoided Mandolin breaks much of the time. They didn't want to get Bill mad at them. Lester said Bill Monroe was the strongest man they had ever met. He could pick up the back of a car if nothing was in the trunk.
@@TN-D18 Okay. But I did read years ago Lester and Earl were afraid of Bill and Lester said Bill was the strongest man they had ever been around. Both articles indicate Bill Monroe was the reason they were light on mandolin solos. I guess this could be argued but to me it seemed by the late 1950's Flatt and Scruggs was the most successful blue grass band. But Bill's band was successful too. I remember telling Earl about 1968 at a show in Virginia that he was usually considered the best bluegrass banjo picker out there and Earl said " I don't know about that now. There are some real fine musicians out there" So I ask who are some of those and he said his old buddies Ralph Stanley and Don Reno but then said he didn't want to name names and leave out anybody. I was with WKBA radio and I guess he thought I would put it on the air but I wasn't recording at that moment. Scruggs was always humble and didn't seem to want too much fuss made over him. It's sad all three of Earl's sons have passed.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how in the pocket and freaking awesome this group is?!
BRAVO!
i'm taking multiple moments right now! from Buffalo to Washington

Oh yeah
Even better than Flatt and Scruggs version!!
Is that the fidler from Te Timejumpers?
The fiddler, Johnny Warren, is Paul Warren's son.
No mandolin break?? This song was intended to be driven by mandolin ala Monroe. Other than that great stuff.
Exactly what I was thinking. I think the banjo player overstepped
But Flatt and Scruggs drove this tune with a banjo. Never a mando break. 😉

@@boblackey1 Bill was already mad at them. I think they used Josh and no mando to show Bill there was more than one way to play bluegrass.
