About This Song
About "I Long To See The Old Folks" by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs And The Stanley Brothers
Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and The Stanley Brothers conjure a homesick ache for 'The Old Folks.' Fiddle and banjo weave a porch-light glow, yet beneath the nostalgic warmth runs a current of loss, as memory and distance blur into a bittersweet, high-lonesome reverie.
