Foggy Mountain Gospel ReviewMention the names of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs to the general population and you're likely to get a response like, "Hey, weren't they the bluegrass duo who appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies?" Or they might remember their providing the theme music for the movie "Bonnie and Clyde." And that's only for the general population over fifty!
For two artists who helped shape bluegrass music during its formative years (they after all were members of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys), this two-disc compilation is a welcome addition to any bluegrass music library.
In the early years of country and bluegrass music, concerts invariably included a gospel segment. During Flatt and Scruggs tenure at Columbia Records (1950-1969), they recorded 52 gospel songs and they are collected here on a single compilation for the first time. Also worth noting is that 23 of these songs were written or co-written by Flatt and/or Scruggs (sometimes using the pseudonyms G. Stacey and L. Certain-their wives' maiden names).
While Scruggs is recognized for developing the three-finger style of banjo picking, he is also an accomplished guitarist. Listen to his fretwork on songs like "You Can Feel It in Your Soul" and "It Won't Be Long." In addition to Scruggs' stellar banjo and guitar playing, Dobro player Josh "Buck" Graves became a featured instrumentalist when he joined the Foggy Mountain Boys in the mid-Fifties.
The songs are presented chronologically, beginning with the 1951 single "I'm Working on a Road" through the final eight tracks from the 1966 LP WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN.
While this collection does not tell the complete story of Flatt and Scruggs, it is an essential component of their legacy. [Running time - Disc 1, 67:43; Disc 2, 62:47] ESSENTIALFoggy Mountain Gospel Overview
