Tune in for late night progressive and traditional Bluegrass on The Best of Pickin, with music this week from the all-female Bluegrass band “Sister Sadie.” They recently were on the Grand Ole Opry in performance. Also, music from The Dead South, Carolina Blue, Larry Rice, and Bobby Osborne. We’ll also hear new music from Dan Tyminski and his new lp “Live from the Ryman.” Tyminski is the powerhouse behind Alison Krauss and her “Union Station Band.” He has won 14 Grammys and is one of the key vocalists with the Soggy Bottom Boys, made famous in the movie “Oh Brother Where Art Thou.” Prepare for some great late-night Bluegrass and kick off your weekend with The Best of Pickin. Friday night at 11 on WHRV
