Flatt & Scruggs – “Aint Gonna Work Tomorrow/Home Sweet Home”
Lester Flatt, who was born on this day in 1914, did more to popularize bluegrass music than almost anyone in the genre. As part of the Foggy Mountain Boys and one of the first successful bluegrass acts in the 50s/60s, Flatt and Scruggs, Lester picked a mean guitar and sang with the sound that defines the genre. Flatt passed away in 1979 but remains a vibrant presence in bluegrass and American culture. No Depression is happy to remember him today.
