It's classic Bluegrass on this week’s Pickin with tracks from Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe, the Country Gentlemen, and Jim and Jesse. Also, tracks from Reno and Smiley. Don Reno and Red Smiley would form a musical partnership in 1949 and become one of the most acclaimed duos in the genre. They would first record for the Federal Record Label in 1951 and later for the famed King label in 1952. They would eventually form a back-up band known as the “Tennessee Cut Ups” and they recorded through the late 50s and into the 60s before disbanding. They briefly reunited for a famed release in 1971 entitled “Together Again.” It is still hailed as a Bluegrass classic. Tune in for two solid hours of traditional Bluegrass music on Pickin. Sunday night at 7 on WHRV.
