Various Artists - Long Live Bluegrass [2 CD] - CMH Records 30th Anniversary Special

In 1975, CMH founder Martin Haerle formed CMH Records with Arthur Smith, the renowned guitarist whose Guitar Boogie was the first million-selling country instrumental and who wrote Dueling Banjos, the fmaous standard featured in the movie Deliverance.
