Pinecastle compiles “Ultimate Banjo”
Greg Cahill“Ultimate Banjo,” the third installment in Pinecastle Records’ Ultimate series, was released Wednesday.
The album features banjo greats who are featured on Pinecastle recordings as well as others who have made their marks with the five-string. Tracks feature Sonny Osborne, Eddie Adcock, Greg Cahill, Earl Scruggs, Pete Wernick, Scott Vestal, David McLaughlin, Kristin Scott Benson, Jeff Murray, Jim Mills, Aaron McDaris and Ross Nickerson.
“Ultimate Banjo” is a 20-song instrumental compilation that showcases the fast, hard-driving, three-finger bluegrass style.
In addition to focusing on the sound of the banjo, Pinecastle also wanted to spread some knowledge about the instrument’s history.
Greg Cahill, chairman of the board and president of the International Bluegrass Music Association, banjo player extraordinaire and founder of the Chicago-based band Special Consensus, composed detailed liner-notes on the musical evolution of the banjo.
The new compilation follows the release of Pinecastle’s “Ultimate Pickin‘” and “More Ultimate Pickin‘.”
