Thread Name: Most Influential Album?
Subject: RE: Most Influential Album?
The Billy Faier record is an interesting choice. Another album that opened up the minds of many people to the banjo was "New Dimensions in Banjo and Bluegrass" by Eric Weissberg and Marshall Brickman. That was also the recording debut of Clarence White who expanded hot flatpickin' in the California music scene. "New Dimensions..." is actually available (in a thinly disguised version) as the "Dueling Banjos" album.
