CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description The Famous Lefty Flynn's, is the fourth album by one of America's most respected and celebrated bluegrass bands, The Grascals. The stirring vocals of the band's three lead singers, Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson, and Terry Smith, combined with the group's instrumental virtuosity, and flawless song selection all play a part in the musical and critical heights the group has attained. Coming on the heels of their last album, SPBGMA's 2009 Album of the Year Keep On Walkin', the new album features a range of songs from a cover of the Monkees' lively "Last Train to Clarksville" to the imploring "Give Me Jesus," with stops along the way for intriguing story songs and some outstanding originals. Newest member Kristin Scott Benson, IBMA's 2008 Banjo Player of the Year, joins the band for what may be their best album yet. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA great modern, emotive disc, great bluegrass James Moulton | Abington,Pa | 04/05/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the fourth album of this much celebrated Bluegrass group, as they grow into their ever evolving sound. Not traditional in sound, but traditional in spirit with a modern sound to the Sweet recording in the twelve great songs featured here. Whether they are cooking on a fast song or harmonizing on a slow ballad, The Grascals have a sound that is theirs. New to this CD is the award winning young Kristen Scott Benson, who adds her highly Skilled Banjo playing to the mix. This gal has two CDs of her own, before joining up with The Grascals, great fit. I reviewed their last disc "Keep Walking On" and I find a much more empowered group here. Everything fits together well in a great mix. They start out doing a fast driving bluegrass version of "Last Train To Clarksville", originally recorded by the Monkees. A song written by Jamie Johnson of the group "My Baby's waiting On The Other Side" really takes off, nice lyrics and some great banjo and mandolin. A song by Steve Earle "My Old Friend, The Blues" has an old time country side to it with some pedal steel by Lloyd Green. A very good version with lots of emotion. Another midtempo song "Up This Hill and Down" has some great hooks, just love Kristen's banjo interplay with the mandolin. They play together like they have been playing for years together. Similar to this is "I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome" (Monroe, Williams) A classic old time country song done with a bluegrass twist. The Twelveth song is a beautiful (public domain) gospel song. "Give Me Jesus" The instruments are more in the background on this track, while the sweet vocals take the front of the mix. Both country music and Bluegrass fans should love this great effort. (...)" Really liked it, even though I'm not normally a big bluegras Bill D. | Knoxville, TN | 05/24/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I really liked most of the songs on this cd. My 4-year old daughter really likes it. It is one of the few cd's we listen to in the car straight through. The third song, Satan and Grandma, is my favorite."
