Born

June 19, 1914

Genre

Country

After Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs parted ways in 1969, Flatt reassembled many of the Foggy Mountain Boys, renamed the group Nashville Grass, and toured very successfully until his death in 1979. Unlike Scruggs, who with his sons moved on to music that was only marginally country, Flatt and the Grass stuck to traditional bluegrass material. Even without Scruggs, the band shone, and Flatt's vocals, musical direction, and taste received the credit they had so long deserved. ~ David Vinopal

Lester Flatt has also released music as a member of Lester Flatt & The Nashville Grass, The Foggy Mountain Boys, Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys.
