Biography

When Martin Haerle passed away in 1990, his son David Haerle stepped in to run the label, and created the “Pickin’ On” series, which consists of bluegrass tributes to rock, pop and country artists including Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, and Led Zeppelin. The first title in the series was Pickin’ On The Beatles (1994), but it wasn’t until three years later that the concept took off with the success of Pickin’ On The Grateful Dead. [1]

David West, who co-founded the “Coach Valley Drifters” a modern style bluegrass band, was the producer over 60 CDs in the “Pickin’ On” series for CMH Records. It is his creative arrangements that put together the great tribute albums that make up the “Pickin’ On” series.

    Only listened to the Jimi Hendrix tribute for now. It's kinda funny, I'll probably try more albums.

    The Bluegrass renditions of Astronomy Domine and Goodbye Blue Sky on Pickin' On Pink Floyd are beyond belief, I absolutely love them. It's quickly become one of my favorites. David West is a great musician. I live in Missouri and have been exposed to Bluegrass most of my life, and really didn't care for it, but never like this. This has given me a whole new appreciation for the genre.
