The Best of Seldom Scene, Vol. 1

by The Seldom Scene

Overview

The Best of Seldom Scene, Vol. 1 contains a sampling of the progressive bluegrass band's first four albums on Rebel Records. Among the 16 tracks are several cover versions, including "Sing Me Back Home" by Merle Haggard; "City of New Orleans" by Steve Goodman; "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor; "Paradise" by John Prine; and they even manage to make the Ricky Nelson '50s hit "Poor Little Fool" sound as if it was written as a bluegrass tune. ~ Al Campbell
