Jerry Douglas & The Earls of Leicester - Suwannee Spring Reunion - Live Oak, Fl 3- 24- 2017

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...was this ever a great set and one of the most popular of the festival.....
The Earls of Leicester is an all-star band, punningly named for Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt, whose popular and pioneering bluegrass inspired every one of the musicians here paying them tribute. Jerry Douglas was inspired to play Dobro because of legendary Flatt & Scruggs dobroist Josh Graves, and Johnny Warren, the Earls' fiddle player is the son of long-time Foggy Mountain Boys fiddler Paul Warren. Every instrument and every vocal hark back to that classic sound. 'This record is something I've been waiting my whole life to do,' veteran Dobro master Jerry Douglas says of this album. Joined by the other veteran bluegrass musicians who comprise the Earls, Shawn Camp, Barry Bales, Charlie Cushman, and Tim O'Brien, each a star in his own right, Jerry has produced more than a tribute to Flatt & Scruggs' classic recordings from 1954-65. While faithful to the originals, the Earls make this music live again, breathing new life and spirit into these songs, with a fresh appeal both for long-time fans and for a new generation.

I'll tell you something.....you're gonna have to get up pretty dang early in the morning to find anybody else that can play Flatt and Scruggs like this...you guys are my heroes in Bluegrass!

[@maggielewis2214]

Oh what a joy you boys are..tappin my foot, smiling a mile wide xxx

[@tommark8932]

It just don`t get any better than that ! 12 thumbs up !!!

[@MrBeepbeep11]

I was 13 years old when I first saw Lester and Earl in Newport, RI. I fell in love with the music and have never loved much other music. These gentlemen do a great service to keep this great music alive. Thank you for posting this, I appreciate your effort for that.

[@dababe44]

MrBeepbeep11 was my pleasure to share...

[@davidhopkins1786]

Arguably, the best group ever in bluegrass.

[@mikehill5159]

Totally agree

[@ramseydaugherty5515]

BOY HOWDY these boys just flat out do it right. I'm a 41 year old good ol' boy lifelong Texan, and everyday I get in my pickup and turn on my country radio and it's the same old crap, just pop music they disguise as country. That really sucks for all us fellows that have been country way before it was cool. I find it truly amazing how every instrument expertly compliments each other so well, it can't hurt how each one of these fellows are arguably the best at the instrument they play. I mean it don't get any better than that banjo, fiddle, and Jerry on the dobro. I imagine y'all are very busy fellows, if you get a chance it would be so awesome if y'all could find the time to play a show in Amarillo Texas. Keep it up fellows

[@kamplm2199]

Got tickets to see them live! I can’t wait to see them!!!

[@patearl4036]
