Tune in for this week's Best of Pickin, with music from actress-singer Amy Irving teaming with Amy Helm in her Willie Nelson tribute release "Always will Be." She covers ten of Nelson's songs on the new album that dropped in April. Also, music from the duo Watchhouse, The Irish Band Jigjam, Leftover Salmon, and the McPeak Brothers. The McPeaks hailed from Wytheville, Virginia and in the early 70s caught the ear of country-singer Mel Tillis. He arranged for them to record on the RCA Label. They toured with him as an opening act and also appeared on his syndicated television show. Some of the greats of country music- including Merle Haggard and Webb Pierce recorded some of their songs. They continued to record into the 1980s before retiring. Today, the McPeak Brothers are fondly remembered for their incredible songwriting, tight harmonies, and ability to transcend the boundary between Bluegrass and traditional Country Music. Why venture out on a Friday night- stay in with The Best of Pickin. Friday night at 10 on WHRV.
