Flatt & Scruggs - Flatt & Scruggs At Carnegie Hall: Complete Concert - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Bluegrass pioneers Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs met as members of Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys in 1946 and left in 1948 to form their own group, the Foggy Mountain Boys, featuring Flatt's distinctive singing and flat picked guitar and Scruggs' highly innovative banjo picking. Flatt & Scruggs soon became America's premier bluegrass band and in 1963 reached # 1 on the Billboard Country Chart with InchThe Ballad of Jed ClampettInch used as the theme for the Beverly Hillbillies television series. This classic album recorded in the mid 1960's features much of the band's classic repertoire including the theme to the hit motion picture, Bonnie & Clyde, otherwise known as Foggy Mountain Breakdown, first recorded in 1949. All selections newly remastered.

Limited yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. While most of the bands (Orpheus, Ultimate Spinach, Beacon Street Union) associated with producer Alan Lorber's InchBosstown SoundInch signed with MGM Records, Listening recorded their only album in 1968 with Vanguard. And it's a highly prized one, at that, with original copies selling for triple figures. One reason for that is, unlike many of their more poppy Boston-based peers, Listening boasted an original, swirling, hard-edged sound, full of jazzy and even proggy passages, and keyboardist/singer/songwriter Michael Tschudin's lyrics were openly countercultural. That's future (post-Lou Reed) Velvet Underground member Walter Powers on bass, and blues wunderkind Peter Malick on guitar. A talented band, underappreciated at the time... in other words, right up our Real Gone alley! Coke clear with yellow swirl vinyl pressing, limited to 700 copies.
