Four albums from Earl Scruggs, dating from 1970, 1973, 1982 and 1983. ‘Nashville Rock’ was his real first solo album featuring many Scruggs’ covers of the hit tunes of the day. ‘Dueling Banjos’ is more original material, whilst his critically acclaimed collaboration with Tom T. Hall is a mixture of old and new. ‘Top Of The World’ features Ricky Skaggs and Rodney Dillard. Digitally remastered and slipcased, and with extensive new notes.

Popis:
• For fans of: The Eagles, Crosby Stills & Nash. • Ten albums from the ‘Summer Breeze’ songwriters’ time at Warner Bros. Despite epitomizing the platinum selling Californian soft rock sound that dominated the US airwaves throughout the mid-1970s, both Jim Seals and Darrell “Dash” Crofts originally hailed from Texas. Formed in 1969 in Los Angeles, Seals and Crofts released their self-titled debut the same year, followed by ‘Down Home’ in 1970. Warner Bros. Records were the ideal home for their mellow, acoustic based sound, with whom they signed in 1971 for ‘Year Of Sunday’. Seals and Crofts and Warner Bros. finally struck gold with 1972’s ‘Summer Breeze’, a worldwide smash that year, which was subsequently covered and a global hit for The Isley Brothers. The title track to 1973’s ‘Diamond Girl’ maintained their upward trajectory with another platinum hit, even if their stance exemplified on 1974’s ‘Unborn Child’ divided their fan base. By 1974 Seals and Crofts were established enough to hold their own alongside the biggest hitters of the decade - Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELP, Eagles - at one of the biggest festivals of the 1970s, the California Jam. By 1978 the influence of disco could be heard in the grooves of the danceable ‘Takin’ It Easy’. Deciding to call it a day following their final Warner Bros. album in 1980, Seals and Crofts went their separate ways, occasionally reuniting for successful reunion shows. Although unfairly maligned in the ensuing years, the growth in interest for the smoother sounds and platinum hits of the 1970s, plus the cult success of the Yacht Rock series presented Seals and Crofts to a whole new audience in the 21st Century.
Seals & Crofts were a Texas soft-rock duo that scored three big hits in the 1970s: “Summer Breeze,” “Diamond Girl” and “Get Closer.” They disbanded in 1980 after the release of their eleventh studio album ‘The Longest Road’. The album opens with "Stars", a heavily jazz influenced track featuring guest appearances from Return To Forever members Chick Corea on piano and bassist Stanley Clarke. The title track "The Longest Road" is an up-tempo catchy tune featuring great harmonies and a wonderful sax solo from Jim Seals. The final of the album is an emotional ballad called “One Planet, One People, Please” with Dash Croft’s signature mandolin melodies leading the way. ‘The Longest Road’ is now one of the fan-favorites.
