Album Description
Available in:
Compilation CD of the Best
Earl Scruggs Revue performances. Joining Earl were his sons, Gary, Randy, and Steve. THere is also a smorgasbord of guests, including Byrds Clarence White and Roger McGuinn; acoustic standouts Vassar Clements and Josh Graves; country stars Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings; and miscellany including Billy Joel (yes, him), Alvin Lee, Charlie Daniels, Tracy Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Bramlett, David Allen Coe, Doug Kershaw, Loudon Wainwright III, and even the Pointer Sisters. A melding of bluegrass-country-rock-soul-folk-gospel.
