Music reviews of Foggy Mountain Banjo
Music Review: on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7
Rating: 4 Stars
It's entirely instrumental, and I miss not having any vocals, but there's one number on there "Home Sweet Home " which I really think is sweet!
Apart from Flatt and Scruggs, there's a good dobro and fiddle also.....Josh Graves, and Paul Warren.
Description of Foggy Mountain Banjo
One of the greatest albums in the annals of bluegrass music (***** All Music Guide), 1961 s Foggy Mountain Banjo secured Flatt & Scruggs reputation among the burgeoning folk music movement, and set a seldom-surpassed standard for instrumental virtuosity in a genre that prides itself on just that! And it wasn t just Flatt s flatpicking and Scruggs banjo, either; the Foggy Mountain Boys were one smokin backup band, with dobroist Josh Graves, fiddler Paul Warren and drummer Buddy Harman all playing key roles. Includes Ground Speed ; Home Sweet Home ; Sally Ann ; Little Darlin Pal of Mine ; Reuben ; Cripple Creek ; Lonesome Road Blues ; John Henry ; Fireball Mail ; Sally Goodwin ; Bugle Call Rag , and Cumberland Gap . Rich Kienzle adds new liner notes. A Collectors Choice Music exclusive!Despite a painfully short running time of 25 minutes, this 1961 landmark remains one of the most important and influential banjo albums ever made. Released at the height of the folk boom, these 12 instrumentals inspired countless college kids to pick up a five-string banjo and try to emulate the great Earl Scruggs's spectacular three-finger attack. Paul Warren's fiddle and Josh Graves's Dobro keep pace with the master, who creates a template for bluegrass banjo. Although there are more definitive and comprehensive Flatt & Scruggs collections available, Foggy Mountain Banjo will always be a perennial favorite thanks to its original timely release and, of course, the timeless music within. --Marc Greilsamer
