REVIEW
“…Jenkins’ three-finger banjo picking married rough-and-ragged rural playing with an upbeat contemporary style influencing bluegrass greats such as Earl Scruggs and Don Reno his combo adding unpolished three-part harmonies. Fiddler Homer ‘Pappy’ Sherrill further linked Jenkins to a more traditional hill country style of music with rollicking breakdowns on tracks like ‘Possum Up A Gum Stump’ and ‘Big Eared Mule.’ These songs are filled with old-time corn pone humor ….”
