Graves' Dobro became part of bluegrass music when he joined Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs' band, the Foggy Mountain Boys. Subsequently he participated in all of their Columbia recording sessions except one -- more than any other Foggy Mountain Boy.
Lester and Earl hired him to work as bassist, and as comedian in the role of "Uncle Josh." At first he played Dobro only at their recording sessions and on a few pieces in shows. But Uncle Josh's picking was so well received that Lester and Earl quickly moved him to Dobro full-time and hired a second comedian, E.P. "Cousin Jake" Tullock, to play bass. Thereafter, Josh and Jake's wonderful comedy routines and singing were part of every Flatt & Scruggs show.
Josh's Dobro became an integral part of the instrumental signature of bluegrass music's most successful band -- not just on their chart-topping records, but on radio and television and in personal appearances as well. Soon other bands began adding the Dobro to their sound.
