For more than four decades, profoundly influential bluegrass band The Seldom Scene has shared its undeniable talent, progressive repertoire, and creative spirit both in the studio and on stage. 'Long Time... Seldom Scene' features fresh interpretations of 16 oft-requested tunes and is the band’s first studio album since the GRAMMY-nominated album 'Scenechronized' in 2007. It’s a family reunion in all the best ways, featuring the current - and longest-running - lineup, joined by founding members Tom Gray and John Starling and guests Chris Eldridge, Emmylou Harris, and Rickie Simpkins.

I dearly loved all versions of The Seldom Scene as long as John Duffy was there but this version surly does the name Seldom Scene proud. I still get a lump in my throat remember the Scene and the other bg bands of yesterday. I've been a bluegrass fan since before it was called bluegrass music. I'm so thankful that I began my life in the mountains of Virginia where I was exposed to this great music and so so many great bands. The progressive style, great musicians, close harmony and personalities of the Scene won me over immediately. It didn't hurt that I was already a big fan of the Country Gentlemen. Rip all you old bluegrass musician from a tremendously grateful life long fan. Ken t.
10/4

Love this group one of my all time favorites
Just gets better every time I hear it !!
What a Great tune!!! Hazel is my wife favorite... Nice job Fellers!!!!
Amazing Hazel Dickenson tune well done.
This is a very 😥 love 💘 ballad
Fantastic. I first saw them at the Red Fox in Bethesda, MD in the early 1970's, followed them to the old A&P in Arlington and then to the Birchmere. Ben Eldridge has played at the bluegrass jam I host in Round Hill, VA the last Friday of each month as well as some past members of the Country Gentleman. Those were the days.
Tremendous song, performed brilliantly.
These guys are the best!
Still my favorite group.
my favorite group
Better years are in the rear view now.
Oh yeah! to all who commented here. I feel sorry for those people who don't catch this music in their hearts. Because it is a great feast of human spirit in the world.

Saw theme do this live once. They told about Hazel and when they finished most of us were choked up. I think of all the good women who gave all and the man walked off.

Wow, THIS is my idea of real music!
I remember seeing The Seldom Scene at a bluegrass festival in Richmond,Va at the State Fairgrounds/Racetrack about 1978, while they were playing on stage some jerk threw a frisbee and it hit
Mike Auldridge’s Dobro......they left the stage but luckily were talked back on from the cheering crowd. Great show almost ruined by one individual.
🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️
The love and history behind this one comment! Yessah . Be blessed
Excuse me, this is not The Seldom Scene. Where are Duffy and Starling?
This is NOT the Seldom Scene... this is Ben and a bunch of others.
How it should sound....oh and it's Dobro,not slide guitar !!
If it is a Dobro, otherwise it is a resonator or resophonic guitar.
None better
