Gary & Randy Scruggs - All The Way Home (1970)

'All The Way Home' was the first album by Gary & Randy Scruggs ('The Scruggs Brothers' being their second and just as good). It's from 1070 and sounds like 1970. Early Southern Country Rock at its very best. For those of familiar with The Earl Scruggs Revue, this is very much in that vein. Excellent album, great song, great performances. This is a vinyl rip, though it has been released on CD for a while. If you dig, try and get a hold of the few remaining copies. For those unfamiliar with The Earl Scruggs Revue, expect Bluegrass infused Country Rock with an emphasis on substance. I been playing this constantly since I ripped it and I love it. Let it be...

Just found your blog, very nice. People can OD on youtube videos but there is one video there per bluegrass I think is very unique and worth watching. A ton of folk do that main riff from the famous "Foggy Mountain Breakdown"with Earl Scruggs in what looks like some sort of Bluegrass convention cerca 1971, note, they all take their turn doing it. Though I can't tell for certain, I think one of the participants is one of these Scruggs boys.
