Earl Scruggs and Friends Foggy Mountain Breakdown

Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Earl Scruggs is considered the hardest bluegrass song to play!

Earl Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" established the banjo as the star instrument in bluegrass music. That song is still perhaps best known as the accompanying theme for a pair of roving gangsters in Arthur Penn's 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde. A bright and quick tune written by a quiet North Carolina country musician that introduced American bluegrass to new audiences around the world.
