BR5 49 & Chris Scruggs Shotgun boogie Opry Live

[@gsmeeuwsen]

Chris Scruggs is a musical encyclopedia both in his versatile playing and his knowledge of country music history!

[@jongalleog3486]

I must admit i just recently realized how classy scugs was ! I saw criss spent some time along with kenny vaughn at meral haggard place just before hag passed , hag was an old school prison cat he would only let a few cats hang out with him in his house from what i read in his life story , so criss had to be a cool cat !

[@rockinredneck57]

He's practically country music royalty. Chris is the grandson of Earl Scruggs. He was raised by his mom, Gail Davies. He got his musical genes from both sides of his family. ​@jongalleog3486

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

This is sooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Chris Scruggs is a musical genius.

[@1950sRockabilly]

Wow Rockabilly on the grand ole opry...!

[@frooke2]

16 tons was always the song the radio played in the 80s and 90s before country radio died ...this song shoulda been played too. These guys are curating a lost art. I hope this kind of authentic music never dies.

[@Oscaraleptico]

Love the Bill Haley solo! So glad I came across this video

[@buggywhip1]

Best version of Shotgun Boogie I ever heard, and there are some dang good ones out there!!!

[@richardjones1257]

I concur!!

[@Meallion98]

I don't think so . Mr ernie is the best and ever best 😅 👌

[@jtorr2049]

Bands as good as BR549 don't come round that often. Superb singing and picking!

[@christopherjackson1735]

I have been privileged to have booked BR5-49 (in its original line-up) and later versions, brilliant musicians and great guys on and off stage. I am in the UK not the USA..This format performed on the Americana International Festival several times and drew great audiences and excellent reviews in the UK music publications.

[@FrankoEPFan]

I love this, a lot of talent onstage, I am a fan of BR549 and can hardly hold still listening to this, it happens that one of the band members is a hometown boy named Gary Bennett who lives just up the road, Gary had been performing with his band the Coat Tail Riders locally untill the covid thing, but has been recording new material in his home studio and hopefully will be back doing shows around town again soon, nice guy and love their music! 🎸🎵🎶

[@josephwatts2904]

This song has it all and Scruggs is amazing!!!

[@jerichothedrifter60]

Scruggs is one talented young cat.

[@mitchly]

Chris reminds me of Webb Pierce here. By the way...awesome show! Brilliant stuff.

[@MrBigmac844]

BADASS!!!!! I was just surfing and clicked on this!! Two thumbs up

[@dirtydumpling]

I agree amazing version! Chris Scruggs is amazing he put out an album last year titled 'Anthem' it is a must have!

[@Monster404ftp]

My grandpa and I listen to this song when doing reloads for various gauge shotgun shells. Love it.

[@Amoeba744]

Talent definitely runs through the veins of the Scruggs family.

[@kingofthecatnap5422]

Awful Lawton Yep, your lookin' at it. 🐎

[@marieguy1565]

I could listen to this song all day

[@sondrayork6317]

all your missing now, is the shotgun blast when you say shotgun boogie, lol. would make for an interesting country song in these hard sad and blue times lol.

[@johnny-r]

It's amazing what a bunch of supremely talented people can accomplish.

[@josephoerther8170]

BR549. Love these guys. If you ever get the chance to see them live. You are in for a treat. I know they do very few shows these days.

[@yoebutt]

These guys are GOOD!

[@darthlazlo]

I remember seeing Chris play on lower broad back when he was in high school. he has played in some great bands. hoptown tigers, shack shakers, br549, etc.,, he has played with everyone and can shred.

[@NaihanchinKempo]

Rockabilly :)

[@danallured5806]

[@digdablooz]

Chris and Kenny Vaughan and Wes L' Anglois are the best show in Nashville ... add Greg Garing to the mix and you got all you'll ever need

[@josephsardena3525]

Great to see Rockabilly music here

[@jorghimmrich4878]

Fantastic Number with great Solo Parts.

[@rarerockk]

Man this is awesome, what a fun to listen to this, its much better than the original version, IMO. GREAT !!!!!!!

[@teroberts4gospel]

Thanks for the post. Great music.

[@paulmcclung8185]

That's what music should be just fun. He can play a mean guitar. I love rockabilly.

Ultra Terrific! my highest compliments to the drummer, stellar punctuation.

I take it they are Chris Scruggs parents.

Early rock and roll sounded a lot like this

[@benzuckerman]

It's what Elvis played....

[@maryplaidy6814]

Agnar Hatlevik That first comment by R. Daw was kinda silly. This is exactly what rock 'n' roll sounded like until the Beatles bastardized it.

[@donframeli9855]

I loved br 549

[@glorydog11]

Very cool stuff. Thanks.

Junior Samples would be so proud

“The number to call is BR 549”

[@mrkipw8735]

First rate, especially the steel guitar chorus, but all good. Tell your drummer he's the shotgun here! Thumb up.

[@ChrisWilson-mg1it]

Just love this

[@ernstpassmannrockabilly2325]

[@Grahamgusbull]

Bet there’s no fun like that on the Opry these days!

[@philliphumphrey100]

Steel player Donny Herron has been with Dylan quite a while now. When BR549 played here Donny Herron picked the fattest girl in the bar for a dance.

Donnie is my best friend, and THE nicest cat on earth.

[@bradrenout5953]

all the way from right here in Nashville Tenn, lol

[@J1Jingleimerschmidt]

Chuck's D string is tuned awful low! It's flapping in the wind. Dig the Bob Scratitto "Rock The Joint" riff from Bill Haley and the Saddlemen's 1952 Essex version of Jimmy Preston's 1949 original. The exact lick was used two years later for the 1954 "Rock around The Clock" smash hit. This shit makes me wanna quit working and play my guitar all day!

[@MattMPA]

The guitar solo in "Rock The Joint"...and later reused in "Rock Around The Clock" was performed by Danny Cedrone from Philly.

[@laminebaazi6418]

whens this from this is fantastic

[@dave.breitweiser3233]

He was taught by one of the best pickers around Earl Scruggs

[@rockinredneck57]

Not to mention his dad, Gary Scruggs. No doubt a lot of famous musicians hung around his house when he was growing up. Lots of jam sessions.

[@jmarlowe87]

He never met Earl til around 2010. By his own admission he never had any type of relationship with his father or paternal side of his family. Gary left his mom high and dry once she got pregnant with Chris.

[@rockinredneck57]

Chris was just 19 when he joined BR5-49.

[@rockmemphis54]

MAGNIFIQUE VERSION - DU GRAND ROCKABILLY

Anyone know what guitar Chris Scruggs is playing? If it can make people play that good I want one lol

[@Alanoffer]

Listen to the crowd when they realised what they were listening to real country

[@f674]

Indeed he does look like J.R.Cash!

[@Wanderer123]

The real thing...

[@laslos3]

Anyone else think that Chuck Meade looks like Johnny Cash in this video?

[@mikegilford7220]

Hahaha how cool is this 😊😊😊🤪👍

[@matttexter7399]

Who's playing bass?

[@sunsparkle8443]

Geoff Firebaugh I believe.

[@raymondbrown4899]

Yeah that’s Geoff. He’s amazing. I wish they would have caught his infamous bass flip on camera.

[@rockinredneck57]

Chris is now a Fabulous Superlative with Marty Stuart. He's only made them better, if that was possible.

[@ROLSEKOPP12]

Is this rockabilly or boogie-woogie?

[@heidijorgensen7150]

Litt av begge deler!
