Our Take

In the revered halls of bluegrass history, there are few names that shine as brightly as Scruggs, Doc Watson, and Skaggs. Individually, these musical legends have each carved out their own unique paths in the world of stringed instruments and toe-tapping rhythms. But when they come together as The Three Pickers, the results are nothing short of pure magic.

From the moment the first notes of the opening track ring out, it's clear that this album is something special. The impeccable musicianship on display here is simply breathtaking, with each of these virtuosos trading licks and solos with an effortless grace that can only come from years of honing their craft.

But what truly sets this record apart is the palpable sense of joy and camaraderie that permeates every track. You can practically hear the smiles on their faces as they pass musical ideas back and forth, each one pushing the other to greater heights of creativity and skill.

Tracks like "Shady Grove" and "Black Mountain Rag" showcase the trio at their absolute best, with lightning-fast picking and tight vocal harmonies that will have you tapping your foot and grinning from ear to ear. And when they slow things down for a tender ballad like "What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul," the results are just as captivating.

In short, Three Pickers is a masterclass in bluegrass music, delivered by three of the genre's all-time greats. So grab your banjo, pull up a chair, and prepare to be amazed.
