I've come to the conclusion (who cares?) that I don't dig this whole Pickin' On thing. I know it started a long time ago - maybe as far back as Joe Val and his Beatle Country - but the recent spate of 'tributes' turns me off, although there have been some well produced efforts, such as Harv Davey's Moody Bluegrass.
It just smacks of novelty and sort of cheapens bluegrass. And I feel that the many recordings that have been done won't bear repeated listening. I can see the commercial side of it, 'though. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
- Curmudgeonly yours...
