Review by Luis María Rodríguez de Rivera Cremades

Folk Banjo Styles is a compilation album featuring the works of various renowned banjo players, including Marshall Brickman, Tom Paley, Art Rosenbaum, and Eric Weissberg. The album showcases the diverse range of banjo styles prevalent in the folk music genre.

The album starts off with Brickman's "The Banjo Song," a lively tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Paley's "John Henry" and Rosenbaum's "Old Joe Clark" are traditional folk songs that are given a fresh spin with the banjo. Weissberg's "Dueling Banjos" is a standout track that showcases the technical prowess of the banjo.

The album also features lesser-known tracks like Paley's "The Cuckoo" and Rosenbaum's "Leather Britches," which add to the overall charm of the album. The banjo playing on each track is exceptional, and the arrangements are well-crafted.
