5.0 out of 5 stars truly a crown of jewels!, November 10, 2000

Every song on this cd is a gem. The instrumentals are first class.Many of my favorites take part on this cd including Mary Chapin Carpenter(who sounds awesome in It's Only Love), Trish Yearwood (giving great harmony to I Wanna Be Loved), Matraca Berg, Gary Chapman, Amy Grant, John Hiatt (all singing background vocals on City Of New Orleans), Emmylou Harris & Iris Dement (Beautifully dueting on Wildwood Flower), Joan Osborne (burning it up on the Johnny Cash co written Passin' Thru), Roseanne Cash (singing a gorgeous My Secret Life). Reading the notes from Randy Scruggs one can see his love of writing and recording these songs, but even more so from the performance he and his co-horts bring to this project. There is not one bad song on this cd. If you like good country music, or just plain good heartfelt music, you can't do amy better than this recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserved the Grammy it Got, March 31, 2000

"Soldiers Joy" from this CD deservedly won Best Country Instrumental Grammy for 1998. The whole album is great, with special recommendations going to "City of New Orleans" (with John Prine), "My Secret Life" (with Roseanne Cash) and "It's Only Love" (with MC Carpenter) I only wish Nashville produced more like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Randy Scruggs, September 16, 2005

This review is from: Crown of Jewels (Audio CD)

I have loved this album since it first came out and I would be hard pressed to pick a single cut that would be my favorite. It's a joy from start to finish.

My question is why hasn't he recorded another album since this one. I've done a search on here and can't find one. I remember him from the Earl Scruggs review and was impressed with his guitar playing (Earl wasn't bad at playing the guitar either but not flashy; I could always tell when he was playing guitar on the Circle album.)

Great album.
