Earl Scruggs
"The Paganini of the banjo"'s finest moments are collected on Columbia/Legacy's aptly named Essential Earl Scruggs.

by
Patrick Sky
Sky was one of the numerous folky singer-songwriters to be placed in the new Dylan camp during the '60s (and, for that matter, ever since). Although the comparison with Dylan is basically unfair, and his talents were not without modest charms, they didn't measure up to Dylan in the slightest. On this 1965 debut, Sky did present a mixture of ...

Bluegrass Guitar
(1970)

by
Dan Crary
There really were no solo guitar heroes in bluegrass music (unless you count Clarence White, who never made a solo album before his tragically young death) until Dan Crary made this record back in 1970. Up to that point, the guitar had been almost exclusively a rhythm instrument, and even then its function often appeared to the casual observer to ...

Sprout Wings and Fly
(1997)

by
John McCutcheon
Sprout Wings and Fly is arguably John McCutcheon's most fully realized album. It is certainly his most innovative and experimental, combining his usual neo-Appalachian instrumentation with African drums and Australian didgeridoos to create a kind of hybrid world music suite that is impressive in reach and scope. A trio of traditional Southern folk ...

World Turning
(1993)

by
Tony Trischka
Tony Trischka's one-man exploration of the history of the banjo, World Turning is not for the bluegrass purist. The styles here vary as widely as the guests, from the dusty afternoon tone of William S. Burroughs' voice narrating the simple playing of "The Boatman's Dance/Over the Mountains" to the Violent Femmes helping out on "Down in the Cider ...
