Bill Monroe and The Bluegrass Boys - Bluegrass Breakdown (Original)

The original recording of Bluegrass Breakdown by Bill Monroe and The Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and Chubby Wise. Earl Scruggs was about 21 at the time of this recording. One of the great things about this song is that no one had ever heard a banjo played in that style before. It absolutely blew people away. Also, listen to Earl in the background. Like the original Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Earl plays the whole way through. One of the all time great instrumentals.
