Album DescriptionEver since field recordings of old-timey fiddlers and obscure string bands were pressed as fragile 78s, country music has been defined by singles. With the introduction of the jukebox, country music found a permanent home in honky tonks throughout America. A pocketful of change would keep the sonic salvation flowing. Today, radio is the primary outlet for country musicians. A career is made or lost based on a song?s airplay. Pickin? on Country?s Number 1 Hits collects hot bluegrass versions of memorable tunes by such superstars as Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Tim McGraw. This album is an audio history lesson for any fan of country music.
