About This Song
About "The Little Glass of Wine" by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs And The Stanley Brothers
A bluegrass lament where a small glass becomes a trap. The Stanley Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs trade high, lonesome harmonies over banjo and fiddle, the wine glowing amber against a backdrop of regret. Calm picking masks a story of ruin, the glass both comfort and cage.
