The Earls of Leicester


Description


Summary: The Earls of Leicester is an all-star band, punningly named for Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt, whose popular and pioneering bluegrass inspired the musicians here paying them tribute. Jerry Douglas was inspired to play dobro because of Flatt & Scruggs dobroist Josh Graves, and fiddle player Johnny Warren is the son of long-time Foggy Mountain Boys fiddler Paul Warren.

"The Earls of Leicester is nearly flawless, and this may encourage some younger bluegrass fans to dig into the Flatt & Scruggs catalog, but as far as having a mind and a character of its own, these sessions leave a certain amount to be desired".
