SONG: Foggy Mountain Breakdown
ARTIST: Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
ALBUM: Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Definelty a guilty pleasure for me. I don't expect many people to like this but, I just can't help but review it.
Hillbilly? Yes.
Entertaining? Also yes.
One of the fastest and most difficult instrumental pieces in bluegrass history. If I ever decided to have a high speed chase from the cops, I would have this BLARING. This song just takes me to a different time and place. I can picture the whole group of bluegrass musicians in my head, jamming it out on somebodys old porch. A very short piece of music, but it packs so many notes, chords, strings and sounds in each second it will blow your mind. It has a great banjo slide note in there that is most recognized in the song. These men and their band members had so much talent in what they did and made a huge impact on the world of bluegrass.
My dad can play the banjo part. Yeah, you heard it.
