Foggy Mountain Breakdown

“Foggy Mountain Breakdown” is a bluegrass standard that was written by Earl Scruggs and first recorded in 1949 by the bluegrass artists Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys. Because of its popularity at bluegrass jams, guitar and mandolin players often learn solo breaks to this song that closely mirror the original banjo version.
