That's because it's the original music that has been around since the beginning of America. This kind of music was the first to play on the radio when it came out.
Every time I hear this classic Bluegrass tune, I am inspired by its harmonic and melodic beauty. This song is like wine, the older it gets, the better it is. I normally don't care to sing, but I am very happy to when I hear this song because it lifts my spirits. Even though the Foggy Mountain Boys are in heaven, we can appreciate their contributions to the preservation and encouragement of Bluegrass music. Rest in peace gentlemen, thanks for your great performances.
I'm 54, been playing guitar since I was 13. Listened to rock and blues mostly. last decade or so I've been getting into old time music mostly acoustic blues, and really trying to learn the old country finger picking styles. ..then stumbled across the Foggy Mountain boys clips. I bought a banjo 2 weeks ago.. This the best music ever, I swear!!! How did I miss this. Think it was the beverly hill billys and deliverance when i was a kid back in the 70s that turned me off. I gotta lot of catching up to do....
Uncle Josh’s delivery is just sublime. It just makes you realize how derivative Dave Matthews and John Mayer and a lot of these people are (and that’s not a knock against them, just an homage). Love the Foggy Mountain Boys!
I'm ridin' through the mountains of good ole West Virginia right now!! A lot of ya know what I'm talking bout! On Friday nights we used to go a coon huntin' and my Dad had an 8 track tape player in the pick up truck. This what we were listening to headin' up to the mountains! Pickwick! C' mon now!
I have a clue, only because I took guitar class for 3 years in high school. The first year wasn't even really playing, just learning about it and the notes. It's very very very very very very very very difficult to play a guitar right let alone a banjo or a violin. I had classmates who had cool instruments, a banjo, violin, cello, electric violin, electric cello, ect. I got to try them, nothing I can do 😅 and I can play metallica riffs just fine
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. God bless you. Thank you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
After 2 or 3 bg songs, I'm usually ready for something else BUT the MUSICIANSHIP is always... Off. The. Charts! Tip of the hat from an old rock-n-roller!
Bluegrass was invented by professional musicians in the late 1930's, then later became folk music. For contrast, listen to original Carter family (who still run the Carter Family Fold stage), Uncle Dave Macon, etc.
The two singing are Uncle Josh Graves on Dobro, and Cousin Jake who plays bass. Other musicians would be Paul Warren on fiddle and Curly Seckler on Mandolin
the older I get the more I think this is just the best music there is.

You need get out More lol
Something about that guy in the back with the grey jacket him is a Greek he plays the basuky
Me too
The older you get the more wiser and deeper you become. You start to understand many things. Don't be afraid to get old. It's wonderful.

That fiddle - I'm in heaven!
Hard to believe this used to be on TV
I mean this is in a good way
Folks in general don't have a clue how hard it is to play that precise.
I have a clue, only because I took guitar class for 3 years in high school. The first year wasn't even really playing, just learning about it and the notes.

No one does it as good as the Stanley Brothers.
seriously a great version

That music is right up there with listenin' to a couple hounds trailing and ole coon on a crisp and cool fall night!!!!
One of the best links ever written
All of them had great voices
Now that's Music!! Listen to that fiddle!!!
Kick it brother! Hell Yeah! Hail the coming of the Lord, for now hand over my mountain dew.
Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs

The Foggy Mt. BAD HAT Boys

Look at Earl that's a man on valium.
That mountain dew was the best for coughs & sore throats & runny noses. Not the junk they sell in a yellow bottle.
I tried & got found out 😘

Me Scruggs plays a mean bazuki
He looks like Vince Vaughn
es como los cadetes de linares pero gringos
What year is this?
Believe it was 1961.
what the last 60 years did to american culture is just crazy :(
Anyone else notice how Lester doesn't appreciate tobacco? As soon as Earl starts picking this song, he abruptly walks off stage.
Who are the other musicians besides Flatt and Scruggs?
The two singing are Uncle Josh Graves on Dobro, and Cousin Jake who plays bass. Other musicians would be Paul Warren on fiddle and Curly Seckler on Mandolin
Looks like them foggy mountain bottom boys struck again
Rip J M
Ancestors since 1740s Virginia & Kentucky....Pure Hillbilly...No one can out banjo a Hillbilly..
Song makes me want to get some mountain dew but I can't find any
