Strictly Instrumental (Doc Watson, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs album)

Strictly Instrumental is the title of a recording by American folk music artists Doc Watson, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, released in 1967.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Thom Owen wrote the album "Flatt & Scruggs and Watson play with a startling fluidity — these instrumentals are so rich and skillful that vocals would have been superfluous. For lovers of instrumental bluegrass, this album is a must-hear."
