I'll recommend "The Earl Scruggs Revue" from 1973 which really has a lot of guest artists on it.

.. So Earl Scruggs did a lot with other people, most notably Lester Flatt as they were a bit of a duo (Scruggs & Flatt / Foggy Mountain Boys). That stuff's good too.
God, I've discovered so much music because of you, haha.

Btw, I saw a Banjo priced at $299. Is that a decent Banjo? I didn't get to look at the brand.
