The Best of Seldom Scene, Vol. 1
contains a sampling of the
progressive bluegrass
band's first four albums on
Rebel Records
. Among the 16 tracks are several cover versions, including
"Sing Me Back Home"
by
Merle Haggard
;
"City of New Orleans"
Steve Goodman
"Sweet Baby James"
James Taylor
"Paradise"
John Prine
; and they even manage to make the
Ricky Nelson
'50s hit
"Poor Little Fool"
sound as if it was written as a
bluegrass
tune. ~ Al Campbell
