Joe Stuart - Sittin' on Top of the World (1975) [Hi-Res]

As a Blue Grass Boy: Joe Stuart was a versatile musician, the only person to record on four different instruments as a Blue Grass Boy. He first played with Bill Monroe filling in on mandolin, when Bill was recovering from a broken collarbone. Bill hired him as his regular banjoist the next day. He was often Bill Monroe's sideman of choice for distant shows where the two of them would travel and play with a pickup band of local musicians. Even after his last stint as a Blue Grass Boy in 1973, he continued to sit in occasionally on fiddle, and appeared on recording sessions as late as 1976. He was the quintessential sideman, never widely known to the general public but highly regarded by his fellow musicians.
