The One and Only cover

The One and Only was released on Nugget in 1970 (NRLP 104) by Lester Flatt and the Nashville Grass, the band Flatt formed in 1969 after his partnership with Earl Scruggs ended. Flatt hired most of the Foggy Mountain Boys for it, and three of them play on this record: Paul Warren on fiddle, Josh Graves on dobro and Jake Tullock on bass. Flatt plays rhythm guitar, Roland White mandolin and Vic Jordan banjo. It was recorded at Nugget Studios in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, and Fred Carter Jr. is listed as producer on a promotional pressing.

Flatt sings on nine of the eleven tracks, which include “Daddy Sang Bass,” “Yonder Stands Little Maggie,” “Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms,” “Sunny Side of the Mountain,” “We’ll Meet Again Sweetheart” and “I’m Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open.” The other two are instrumentals, “Mocking Banjo” and “Flatland Two Step.”
