This is an excellent compilation of tracks laid down by Mr. Flatt in the early 1970´s, after the breakup with banjoist Scruggs. Lester put together a new group, awkwardly named \"\"Nashville Grass\"\", but full of talent (including the young Marty Stuart.) Flatt stayed within bluegrass tradition, and on a par with Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley. His RCA releases did not sell a lot during the 1970-74 run with the label, but the sound that made \"\"Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys\"\" famous on Columbia in the sixties was still there. These tunes mix instrumentals and vocals, religious themes with secular, and there is even a joke song or two: \"\"I Can´t Tell the Boys From the Girls\"\" and \"\"The Martha White Theme\"\" (Lester´s long-time TV sponsor.)Those two conclude the disc, and ought to be just throw-aways, except that each is so much fun to hear. There are a couple of well-known selections on here, such as \"\"Roll in My Sweet Baby´s Arms\"\" and \"\"Foggy Mountain Breakdown\"\" but the bulk of the CD is made up of performances that did not make a commercial impact at the time. It´s all good, all bluegrass, all-American, and worth the price.
