Tune in late night Friday for the Best of Pickin, this week featuring leading Bluegrass artist dan Tyminski. He's the powerhouse behind Alison Krauss in the Union Station Band. Also, new music from Billy Strings teaming with the legendary Willie Nelson (who has a new cd out that we will hear from next week), and classic Bluegrass from Hot Rize and the Nashville Bluegrass Band. It's great contemporary and classic Bluegrass with the Best of Pickin. Friday night at 11 on 89.5
