I expect you're going to get as many different opinions on this as you get responses. I strongly recommend finding the same pick with multiple bevel options to explore and see what works best for...

I had found the credits listing Bryan Sutton... that's part of the reason I was so curious! I figure as likely as not it's some Nashville cat I've never heard of. I doubt the physical album has...

I've been listening to some Billy Joe Shaver lately. Miranda Lambert released a cover of his "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)" on a tribute album in 2022. I can't...
