Fabulous Sound of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

Lester Flatt

Compilation · 2014 · Columbia CL 2255

The Fabulous Sound of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, released in 1964 on Columbia (CL 2255 mono / CS 9055 stereo), is a late-period Foggy Mountain Boys studio album. The lineup is the classic late-Columbia band — Lester Flatt on guitar and vocals, Earl Scruggs on banjo, Paul Warren on fiddle, Josh Graves on Dobro, Jake Tullock on bass, with Monroe Fields and Billy Powers also credited. The repertoire mixes Flatt and Scruggs originals with Carter Family material and Johnny Cash's "When Papa Played the Dobro." The album debuted on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart January 2, 1965, peaked at No. 2, and stayed on chart for twenty-six weeks — among the duo's highest-charting LPs in the years before their 1969 split. The 2014 catalog date is a data error.
