Curly Seckler & The Nashville Grass - Take A Little Time

He wasn’t much for book learning, as folks used to say, but with his string tenor and his trademark flip at the end of a line, few ever lived with as thorough an understanding of how to sing this music as Curley Seckler. Curly went to work with Lester Flatt & The Nashville Grass in ’71. He stuck with Lester until he passed in 1979, and Seckler kept The Nashville Grass going more than a decade along with longtime member Marty Stuart, who later won multiple Grammy and Country Music awards as a solo artist. Take a Little Time was the first album recorded after Flatt’s death, and features Johnny Cash on “If It’s Good For You” and “Mother Maybelle”. Seckler was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2010.
