Earl Scruggs
single-handedly reinvented the banjo with his rapid and rolling three-finger playing, a style that bears his name, and the very sound of bluegrass owes everything to him. This tribute to
Scruggs
was produced by
Tim Austin
, who assembled some of the top banjo players in bluegrass, combined them with a top session band, and then set them loose on songs
wrote, co-wrote, or put his mark on between 1949 and 1969. The only thing missing is
himself. ~ Steve Leggett
