Take a trip back to 1972 with Earl Scruggs’ I Saw the Light with Some Help from My Friends.

Major highlights include Tracy Nelson’s standout lead vocal on “Motherless Child Blues,” a chilling rendition of U.

For collectors of traditional acoustic music, classic bluegrass, and the early 1970s Nashville-to-California country crossover movement, this vintage 12″ 33 RPM LP offers a rich, incredibly authentic analog listening experience.
