Don Reno & Red Smiley are among the elite core of that first generation of great Bluegrass artists that also includes Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and the Stanley Brothers. Don and Red first met in December of 1949 at a Roanoke, Virginia radio station where each of them had been recruited to play with the band, the Tennessee Buddies. By January of 1952, Don & Red were recording as Reno & Smiley on the King label. This collection includes the first song Reno & Smiley recorded for their first King LP. 'The Lord's Last Supper' includes the stellar banjo, the duo's immaculate vocals (sung in rounds on this song), and Reno's scripturally detailed lyrics that became the norm on all of Reno & Smiley's Gospel songs. This collection features Don Reno & Red Smiley at their traditional Bluegrass Gospel-singing best!
