Snuffy Jenkins was a pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and influenced many of the early Bluegrass banjo players, including Earl Scruggs and Don Reno. The music performed by Snuffy Jenkins, "Pappy" Sherrill and the Hired Hands on this album is a direct link between Old Time Music and Bluegrass.

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,....”(Meredith Ochs — Spectator Magazine) |
