I was listening to Earl Scrugg's "Essential" album today and i was really dwelling into the first disc. If you havnt heard it before the first disc starts out with some of his stuff from when he was with Monroe and then it goes to Flatt and Scruggs.
Well thats most of the first disc. Anyway as i listened to that banjo ring and the vocals soar i thought to myself." Thats how music should be played". Even the older stuff with the "ok" sound quality seems alot better then the newer stuff.
I think i would rather listen to new music that was played like those old recordings with that old sound. If i listen to a new bluegrass cd then i listen too a new one the newer one seems just so wrong.
Anyway sorry to put you all asleep but my point is that old sound is lost in todays music. If it wasnt for theres recordings my music life would be so awful. We need that old sound back in bluegrass. There is nothing better then hearing old tracks of Stanley, Scruggs, and Monroe.
Please share your comments on this kind of topic. Do you all agree with me?
