{"product_id":"093070231412","title":"American Banjo: Tunes \u0026 Songs in Scruggs \/ Var: American Banjo: Tunes \u0026 Songs In Scruggs Style (Vinyl LP)","description":"\"Vinyl LP pressing. Although there is debate among musicologists and banjo players as to who \"\"invented\"\" the three-finger style of five-string banjo playing, there is no disagreement that the style was popularized by Earl Scruggs in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The three-finger style enabled banjo players to play harmony and to solo on bluegrass tunes and songs. This 1957 release assembles examples of the three-finger style by bluegrass banjo players including Scruggs' older brother Junie and Snuffy Jenkins, who may have had an influence on the style as well. This vinyl reissue is part of Folkways Records' 70th anniversary celebration series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released on the record label, continuing with Pete Seeger and Dock Boggs. Remastered from original LP master tapes in 1966 and presented in classic Folkways style tip-on jackets featuring original liner notes.\"  Cacklin Hen                  Joe Stuart                  0:54, John Henry                  Snuffy Jenkins                  1:11, Lonesome Blues                  Snuffy Jenkins                  1:17, Big Eared Mule                  Snuffy Jenkins                  1:12, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star                  Snuffy Jenkins                  1:29, Spanish Fandango                  Oren Jenkins                  1:26, Cripple Creek                  Oren Jenkins                  1:22, Shout Lula                  Oren Jenkins                  1:23, Down the Road                  Oren Jenkins                  1:15, Old Hen She Cackled                  Oren Jenkins                  1:10, Sally Goodin - Sally Ann                  Junie Scruggs and Mike Seeger                  1:44, Wildwood Flower                  Eugene Cox and Roni Stoneman                  1:39, Lonesome Road Blues                  Eugene Cox and Roni Stoneman                  1:16, Don't Let Your Deal Go Down                  J.C.
