Update: Added Monsters by Band of Horses on Pluckin' Cd. Go to Song to Song to load-down. I can't believe I left this one off. Just add it to your Pluckin' Collection.
This Post is to celebrate one of the greatest instruments in the world...The Banjo. I would recommend downloading all of these and making a great double mixed cd for a good road trip or just a lazy Saturday. Every one of these songs is accompanied by a banjo.
These tracks are not just a couple of random banjo songs that are decent, most of these songs are classic songs that I absolutely love.

hey great post this was just recently shown to me. i run a banjo tablature website I was looking to break away from mostly sufjan stuff. This has given me a great boost!
thanks
great selection of tracks...I'm learning the banjo and its good to hear non-bluegrass tracks cuz there's lots of different ways of playing. Have you heard the joe pisapia lp Daydreams? That's cool. Also Le Loup.
hey, i love your website its real great.
but hey, about those cd's to download, that banjo ones. every time i click the link it says something about an error, how can i fix that.
thanks
get back at me at fastfernandez5@comcast.net
i desperately want to listen but it is saying error, pretty pretty please help?!
Does anyone know where to find any of the Banjo tabs for THE SHINS bluegrass tribute. There's a lot of the "picking on" series but the tab for these songs has been impossible to find. I rescently started playing banjo but I don't listen to a whole lot of bluegrass...It would be nice to pick along with songs I like. Any help would be great!!
Hey there, I like what you are doing and would love these tracks, but it seems savefile isn't working... If you could please resolve this problem it would be greatly appreciated by all.
Thanks!
You can get back to me at jeff.persing@gmail.com
Any chance that the banjo collection is still available somewhere?
Am trying to compile 1 CD of nice banjo songs and am having lots of difficulty :-)
Have a couple of Sufjan, one from the Audreys, a couple from Krauss/Plant, 1 Tom Waits and that's about it.
