practically invented the word banjo, and perhaps because of that he can count some of the most elite musicians among his "friends":
Elton John
,
Sting
Melissa Etheridge
Don Henley
Johnny Cash
John Fogerty
, and the list goes on. In a career that spans 50 years,
Scruggs
' five-string banjo stylings have helped to define American music. Here, on this 12-track compilation produced by son
Randy
, those banjo stylings can be heard in the same

polish. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia
