Pinecastle Records' Bluegrass 95'-2001' were some of the most influential instrumental recordings of their time. The series started off with a bang by winning the International Bluegrass Music Association's instrumental recording of the year in 1996. Many musicians over the years used the yearly series as a learning tool to learn from some of the best pickers of all time. Bluegrass 2020 brings back producer Scott Vestal to lead a new group of pickers including Patrick McAvinue, Cody Kilby, Dominick Leslie, and Curtis Vestal.

Press Quotes
For this album, banjo player Scott Vestal leads an A-list team that includes fiddler Patrick McAvinue, guitarist Cody Kilby, mandolinist Dominick Leslie, and bassist Curtis Vestal on a stylistically varied program of traditional bluegrass and newgrass instrumentals. It opens in old-school style, with the classic Earl Scruggs banjo showcase 'Foggy Mountain Chimes,' but then gets gradually more progressive, with the jazzy Moon Mullican tune 'Pipeliner Blues' and the straight-up New Acoustic 'Sunday Drive.' The rest of the album continues in that vein, alternating straight acidgrass ('Shenandoah Breakdown,' 'Valley Forge') with more modern newgrass fare ('Vanleer'). All of it is brilliantly played. A few more tunes would have been nice, as the whole album clocks in at barely over 35 minutes.
—Rick Anderson, CD HotList August 2020
