Foggy Mountain Boys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Foggy Mountain Boys was an American bluegrass band. The band was founded by guitarist Lester Flatt and banjo player Earl Scruggs and is viewed by music historians as one of the premier bluegrass groups in the history of the genre.[1] The band was originally formed in 1948 by Flatt, who had been a member of Bill Monroe's bluegrass band. Flatt brought Scruggs with him shortly after leaving Monroe.[2]

Flatt and Scruggs and The Foggy Mountain Boys (in various forms and line-ups) recorded and performed together up until 1969.[1] The Foggy Mountain Boys are seen as one of the landmark bands in bluegrass music. Although it featured various casts, during the years of The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show, notably sponsored by grain and flour producer Martha White, the band showcased fiddle player Paul Warren, a master player in both the Old-Time and Bluegrass fiddling styles, whose technique reflected all qualitative aspects of 'the bluegrass breakdown' and fast bowing style; dobro player Uncle Josh Graves, an innovator of the advanced playing style of the instrument now used in the genre, stand-up bass player Cousin Jake Tullock, and mandolinist Curly Seckler.[1] Scruggs is widely considered the most influential player of the bluegrass banjo who ever lived. Playing since the age of four, Scruggs gained his initial spotlight when he played briefly with Bill Monroe, considered by many as the father of bluegrass music. His lightning-fast syncopation and virtuosity wove themselves into an innovative three finger picking style that became the standard for mastering the instrument.

I watched The Beverly Hillbillies so often in repeats. I only knew Lester & Earl from the show appearances, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22UKBv4b4zo

Now this is worth posting. Flatt and Scruggs started my interest in bluegrass, many years ago.

Nice to see you branching out a bit in your posts. A lot of good topics out there.

You must have missed the many earlier music posts.

I probably did. Some days I skim FR pretty lightly, and some days I don’t get time at all.

Another excellent group, thanks. My wife and I got to see them live in Tucson some years ago.

Saw Flatt and Scruggs live in the early/mid seventies. They opened for Arlo Guthrie. I was there mainly to see Flatt and Scruggs, but Arlo put on a great show as well.
I can’t remember if Vassar Clements was playing fiddle.

He wanted me to post another one of his Flatt & Scruggs albums that I cannot find. Titled: Les & Earl ON RADIO CC-LP 13 featuring Hylo Brown, Buck Graves, Paul Warren and Curly Sechler. It is a CC Collectors Classics LES AND EARL ON RADIO. This is as close as I can come to posting the album: http://www.ibiblio.org/hillwilliam/BGdiscography/?v=fullrecord&albumid=506
