Pickin’ on Joe Nichols blazes like a summer campfire. As well it should. This record features some hot bluegrass performances of Joe’s hottest hits. These musicians take such songs as "Size Matters" and "She Only Smokes When She Drinks" and scuff the edges with healthy doses of fiddle, banjo, and mandolin. A traditionalist like Joe would surely enjoy these loving interpretations. Pickin’ on Joe Nichols is an intoxicating party on plastic.
