"John Hickman has built on the foundation laid by Earl Scruggs and produced this classic collection of three finger style banjo music. This CD features phonominal tunes in which Hickman really capitalizes on his smooth, exciting, hard driving 3 finger style. There are no lyrics on this cd and all songs feature Hickman's "Scruggs style" banjo along with Byron Berline on fiddle & mandolin, Don Crary on guitar and George Hickman on bass. Alison Brown was mentored by Hickman although her style is more like Bela Fleck while Hickman's style follows more traditional rythmic lines, which I personally prefer. If you like Earl Scruggs you will love this John Hickman CD."
