For sure Mike. I do
For sure Mike. I do personally consider Earl to be the all time mack daddy and originator of progressive bluegrass, but his contributions to American music as a whole really can't be overstated. And David Hoffman really did his homework for that film too.
His album (with the revue) Live at Kansas State is really a perfect example of this emerging style, all plugged in
Earl Scruggs and Friends (2001) is a real gem too
