The Earls of Leicester Live at the CMA

Just got The Earls of Leicester new live cd. This is the best collection of 28 songs I’ve heard in a long time. If you like Flatt & Scruggs and @Archie I know you do, this is a must have CD.

Is “earls of Leicester” a play on flatt and Scruggs’ first names?

@K_G: Yes… “Leicester” is pronounced “Lester” in the UK (and probably in certain parts of the USA :slight_smile: !)

I knew the pronunciation because my brother follows English football (soccer) I was wondering if it was intentional to have it sound like that

Yes. It is essentially a Flatt & Scruggs tribute band.
