Crown of Jewels in 1998. He played the electric bass on
John Hartford's 1971 album
Aereo-Plain. In 1972, Scruggs released another album recorded with Gary:
The Scruggs Brothers. Reviewing in ''
Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies'' (1981),
Robert Christgau said: "Significant that two musicians so close to the
Flatt-
picking roots—though it ought to be remembered that their father is an entertainer, not a mountaineer—have put together such a doleful-sounding
country-rock band in the face of the good-time sippin'-that-wine stuff the more famous guys are selling." In 1994, Scruggs teamed with
Earl Scruggs and
Doc Watson to contribute the song "Keep on the Sunny Side" to the AIDS benefit album
Red Hot + Country produced by the
Red Hot Organization. Scruggs died after a short illness on April 17, 2018, at the age of 64. ==Scruggs Sound Studio==
