If a song title like "Whoa Mule Whoa" hasn't already clued you in, Tennessee's Barrett is a practitioner of old-time bluegrass, and he serves it as uncut as the state's famed whiskeys. High-rate banjo pickin', rhythm tappin', and an absence of any singin' characterize Barrett's tune.
From the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and western North Carolina comes Rudy Barrett, the Smoky Mountain Banjo Picker.
With over 40 years of professional experience, he knows how to handle a five string banjo.
