5.0 out of 5 stars banjo magic, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dueling Banjos / Live at Kansas State (Audio CD)

The master of the 5 string banjo is represented here on 2 albums which chronicle a period of transition for Earl Scruggs. The Dueling Banjos album consists of studio recordings done with his band "The Earl Scruggs revue" Blending the old standards with some new exciting songs (all instrumental) it's a great example of good solid muscianship and taste- hallmarks of Scruggs work on the banjo. It also showcases his son Randy on guitar. The Kansas state album captures a live show with all the energy intact. A good mix of brilliant banjo work, gospel, southern rock; You can feel the place rock with excitement over this band. Highly recomended!!

Fans of great guitar, finger-picking, and banjo work will enjoy this well-packaged two-fer. The first has Earl and family playing some old standards in the studio, and their evident musicianship and skill come through loud and clear. It's impossible to not be in a good mood after hearing this record!

The second finds the crew live at Kansas State, playing an extraordinarily diverse selection of Americana, Dead-style oldies, and some awesome originals. If your taste runs to late-period Byrds or Flying Burrito etc., you have to listen to this album.

Highlights include a great version of the Guthrie classic, "Ramblin' Round," a jazzed-up version of "T for Texas," a beautiful arrangement of "Both Sides Now," and much more.

This one's a keeper.

This CD is a re-release of two extraordinary LP albums by Earl Scruggs, and the Earl Scruggs Revue.The "Live At Kansas" is an excellent presentation of their live shows, it includes the side comments, the excitement, and the fun of their live concerts.In the bluegrass genre of music these two albums are considered "Classic".
