Description of The Complete Mercury Recordings
Fresh off their pioneering stint with Bill Monroe, guitarist-vocalist Lester Flatt and banjo master Earl Scruggs waxed these 28 seminal cuts for the tiny Mercury label between 1948 and 1950. The duo and their Foggy Mountain Boys attack the music with an urgency that even Monroe's Blue Grass Boys were hard-pressed to equal. Scruggs's rolling three-fingered banjo technique is as important to bluegrass as any other innovation; without competition from Monroe's mandolin, his banjo became the music's primary driving force and the engine that propels most of these songs. "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Farewell Blues" are banjo tour de forces that will never be matched. Original gospel numbers find Scruggs applying his fingerpicking technique to guitar, ? la Merle Travis, and feature sharp group harmonies. Most of these original secular songs have become bluegrass standards, even though the pair refused to call their refined mountain music bluegrass. --Marc GreilsamerGeneral CDs
