If you want to hear what classic bluegrass is supposed to sound like, Foggy Mountain Jamboree is a great place to start. Released by Columbia in 1957, this is one of the defining albums from Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys, pairing Flatt’s smooth, earthy vocals with Scruggs’ famously rapid-fire banjo. The 12 tracks move between energetic instrumentals like “Flint Hill Special,” “Earl’s Breakdown” and “Shuckin’ the Corn” and warm vocal numbers such as “Blue Ridge Cabin Home” and “Your Love Is Like a Flower.” The songs were recorded over several years, giving the album a snapshot of the band developing their sound, and the result is unmistakably bluegrass. For vinyl fans, this is one of those records that belongs in a collection, not just because it’s enjoyable, but because it captures a major moment in the history of American roots music.
