Album Notes
Flatt & Scruggs: Lester Flatt (vocals, guitar); Earl Scruggs (banjo, background vocals).
FOGGY MOUNTAIN BANJO (1961), one of Flatt and Scruggs's finest albums, was instrumental in turning on a new generation of bluegrass fans. (In addition to their success with Bill Monroe in the '40s and their solo successes in the '50s, Flatt and Scruggs contributed to the roots revival of the early-'60s). Even as their fan base expanded, however, Flatt and Scruggs continued to play the traditional old-time mountain music they'd always played, steadily refining their air-tight chemistry, close-knit harmonies, and the quicksilver energy of their blazing licks to unassailable perfection.
Earl Scruggs's sheer dexterity on the banjo (particularly notable on "Ground Speed" and "Lonesome Road Blues") should be enough to keep listeners rapt for the 12 tracks on FOGGY MOUNTAIN BANJO. Lester Flatt's smooth flat-picked guitar, Josh Graves's dobro, Paul Warren's crying fiddle, and Buddy Harman's drumming also keep things in high gear throughout via dynamic interplay. The only drawback to the album is that it features none of the Foggy Mountain Boys' usual superb harmonizing--the record consists solely of instrumentals. This does not detract however, but rather foregrounds the band's technical prowess, making FOGGY MOUNTAIN BANJO a prime example of classic, all-instrumental bluegrass.
