Lou Reid on Joining The Seldom Scene [Behind The Scenes Documentary]

Bluegrass legends The Seldom Scene reunited with former members to create the Smithsonian Folkways album 'Long Time... Seldom Scene.' Here, singer and mandolin player Lou Reid talks with original member Ben Eldridge about joining the legendary bluegrass band twice-the first time in 1986, then for good in 1997. Reid has played with several other important acts, including Quicksilver, the Rickey Skaggs Band, Vince Gill, and Carolina.

For more than four decades, profoundly influential bluegrass band The Seldom Scene has shared its undeniable talent, progressive repertoire, and creative spirit both in the studio and on stage. 'Long Time... Seldom Scene' features fresh interpretations of 16 oft-requested tunes and is the band’s first studio album since the GRAMMY-nominated album 'Scenechronized' in 2007. It’s a family reunion in all the best ways, featuring the current - and longest-running - lineup, joined by founding members Tom Gray and John Starling and guests Chris Eldridge, Emmylou Harris, and Rickie Simpkins.

It amazes me how they have kept so much of the original sound down through the years and still do .

The Scene were the best. I loved most of them so much. The original were the best but Phil and Lou were both great
