When the story of banjo superstar Earl Scruggs is told, the rich
musical environment that produced him is often ignored. During his
lifetime Scruggs spun a creation myth around his playing,
convincing many that he was the sole originator of a three-finger,
up-picking, banjo style. For the first time, this book tells the
full story of the music and musicians of the western Carolinas that
influenced Earl Scruggs. Based on more than 15 years of in-depth
research, this book includes the story of country music recording
pioneers Parker and Woolbright, Fisher Hendley and Martin Melody
Boys; rare images of area music makers; and the history and
development of fiddlers' conventions and radio barn dances.
Together, these stories are woven into the biographies of Earl's
mentors to reveal the musical atmosphere in which they developed
the "three-finger picking" style that so enchanted a young Earl
Scruggs.
