Get in Line, Brother

Get in Line, Brother (Time: 2:24)

Get in Line, Brother was written by Lester Flatt circa 1949, soon after leaving Bill Monroe’s band. The song became part of the early 1950’s repertoire of the newly-formed band formed band 'Flatt and Scruggs'.

My Approach to Recording Get in Line, Brother

No one can do this song as well as Lester (well, maybe the Earls of Leicester?). Anyway what I did was try to make it a bit different than its normal bluegrass roots.

So, I used a lower register which allowed the harmony to work, plus used banjo, but sparingly to make it a more acoustic country sounding version.
