Pickin On CMH
We’ve posted many times over the past two years about the Pickin’ On series from CMH Records. This impressive series (234 titles and counting) involves bluegrass instrumental tributes to successful pop, rock and country artists.
Many have featured some of bluegrass music’s most celebrated players, and introduced fiery bluegrass picking to new listeners based on their primary interest in the artists whose career is receiving the grassy tributes.
We hear from CMH that they are currently searching for new producers and bands for upcoming tribute projects. They ask that anyone interested in being a part of future tributes should contact either Jim Silvers or Greg Sanford at CMH.
