Album Description:

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 2 songs, “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.
