JOHN DUFFEY’S
BLUEGRASS LIFE:
FEATURING THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN, SELDOM SCENE, AND WASHINGTON, D.C.
By STEPHEN MOORE
and G.T. KEPLINGER
Foreword by TOM GRAY
John Duffey’s Bluegrass Life: Featuring The Country Gentlemen, Seldom Scene and Washington, DC is the definitive biography of one of bluegrass music’s most important artists. Through his work as a founding member of two pioneering bands, John Duffey urbanized bluegrass and introduced it to a broad new audience. More than 50 rare or never-before-seen photographs—some by Carl Fleischhauer—and 82 contributors among John's fellow players, friends, and family help create a fascinating portrait of the complex, iconoclastic entertainer. The book’s narrative is supplemented with a 43-page Duffey Discography that provides track listings, recording dates, producers, composers, and musicians for every song recorded by Duffey.
