A MUST HAVE for any Scruggs fan! Earl proves that, even at his age, he is still the master. He does not take short cuts and it's amazing how much energy he still puts into his playing. Great band to back him up; thoroughly enjoyable music! One of the singers could have been better, especially on The Ballad of Jed Clampett, but I believe most folks will buy this CD to hear Earl and they won't be disappointed. To be fair, perhaps I was looking for an exact copy of the original and the rearranged lyrics probably rubbed me the wrong way. Highly recommend!
