Welcome to a summit meeting of folk and country music!
liner notes by Robert Shelton - 1966
In this album, two of the leading
instrumental wizards of American music, banjoist Earl Scruggs and guitarist Doc Watson,
meet for a historic session.
...This collection of folk and country instrumentals has much in it
to commend it to even those unfortunate persons who may have never enjoyed these
two viable forms of music Americana. A sense of freedom and lightness, an air of jazz-like
improvisation and a splash of instrumental viruosity combine in Strictly Instrumental
to make a memorable listening experience for music lovers of any sort.
...The performances speak eloquently for themselves, but a few
things should be kept in mind. These are actual sounds from Earl, Lester and Doc and
their supporting musicians. Nothing is speeded up, and nothing is doctored by studio engineers. It
may surprise you, but this is a true recording with only the magic element of virtuosity
to make you doubt your ears.
