Earl Scruggs [View all]
A great one has passed on at age 88. I can't think of a more influential musician. His style essentially defined the bluegrass genre in the '40's when he joined Bill Monroe's band, changing them from a 'stringband' into something else. Since they were called the Bluegrass Boys, the genre was defined. Earl has been on the cutting edge ever since.
