FLATT & SCRUGGS On Radio

Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Two downloadable zipped folders here containing great 1950's radio by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and The Foggy Mountain Boys. The first download contains two episodes of "Martha White Biscuit Time" from June 1953, as well as a collection of single tracks from rare early 50's airshots. The second contains two 1959 episodes of the "Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry" along with some bonus single tracks taken from the same series. These recordings were issued on 1970's era white label "bootleg" LP's, and given the quality of the material here, I'm surprised they haven't circulated more. Enjoy!
