Cat. No. DVD 1034: EARL SCRUGGS ~ EARL SCRUGGS - HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. DELTA 94136. (IMPORT).
FORMAT: NTSC. REGION: 0. COLOUR. RUNNING TIME: 85 MINS.
REVIEW: Earl Scruggs and his band, including his sons, took to the road in search of musicians and music that could push his banjo picking styles to new directions. He tried rock’n’roll, classical, bluegrass, country and mountain music. This DVD was compiled from footage taken at The Grand Ole Opry, at the 1969 Vietnam War Moratorium in Washington, D.C. and in private homes. The camera follows Earl as he and his family travel and sing with music legends from both sides of a culture divide that only music could bridge. Includes memorable performances by popular music greats including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Doc & Merle Watson, Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys, The Morris Brothers (Zeke & Wiley), The Byrds with Roger McGuinn, Charlie Daniels and Gil Trythol and his Moog Synthesizer. An absolute must for fans of bluegrass music
