When i was a kid my dad had a 1957 Ford fairlane 500 4 door used to ride around and listen to earl scruggs
-
what album is this off?
-
GOOD OLE LESTER & ERNEST !
-
Dixie or Dead
-
nobody tops Earl -- still pickin' at 88!

Drive, tone, timing, syncopation....... Earl had it all. There are a lot of good banjo players and a few great ones out there - but none ever could quite match what Earl did in those early days!

I heard this for the first time when my mate Alan picked it and it blew me away too, so now everytime we have a jam I ask him to do it coz it's sooooooo much fun! Flatt & Scruggs were just the best.

The first time Earl played this on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry it STOPPED THE SHOW!! Truly one of the great banjo tunes of all time.

@clyderf As in "The Outlaw Josie . . ."
This right here is what is MISSING from today's banjo players. Nobody can make the banjo the BANJO, or drive it like Earl did in those early recordings. This one here and the other early one's Earl did like Salty Dog Blues and Foggy Mountain Breakdown are also my all-time favorites. You can tell the early frailing infulence and the power here in the right and left hand technique, Anyone who doesn't think this is GOOD is not listening close enough or is just plain stupid. EARL WINS THE PRIZE!
