Considered one of the legends of Bluegrass Music, Don Reno’s superb and unique banjo style and vocals, along with Bill Harrell’s fine guitar pickin’ and singin’, is an overwhelming combination even before you add the solid background performances of Ronnie Reno on mandolin and George Shuffler on bass.
