Banjo Player Chris Pandolfi Dusts Off Solo Album
Chris Pandolfi plays banjo for the Infamous Stringdusters, one of the most promising bands in contemporary bluegrass. He's also the latest member of that band to step out with a solo album, Looking Glass. However, you shouldn't write this off as a mere "banjo album" because the young musician enlisted many of his friends and heroes to play on the project, which he recorded in a home studio to capture a live and organic sound. Bluegrass fans will recognize the special guests, such as fiddler Stuart Duncan, guitarist Chris Eldridge, mandolin player Matt Flinner and bassist Byron House, as well as all the Stringdusters. On the whole, Looking Glass is a substantial, interesting album that is rife with top-notch picking without venturing into weird territory. In other words, it's easy to enjoy and it suggests that the future of acoustic music is in reliable hands.

Good pop music…that sounds like a good example of an oxymoron.
This music is a prime example of down to earth roots. when’s the last time you heard of a pop act recording in a home studio to capture a live and organic sound?
