About "Salty Dog Blues" by Lester Flatt
A salty dog indeedβthis bluegrass standard bristles with mischievous energy. Flatt's guitar and the Foggy Mountain Boys' breakneck picking create a buoyant, devil-may-care atmosphere. The blues here aren't mournful but playful, a toe-tapping ode to wandering hearts and loose morals.
