The Ninth Annual Pickathon was a sight to behold. The festival expanded to three days and the music was inspired and passionate from the moment the gates opened until the very end. We want to dedicate this CD to the memory of Chris Gaffney from the Hacienda Brothers who passed away in the spring of 2008. He left his mark everywhere he went as the \'soul man\' of country music and we will sorely miss him. If you haven\'t experienced the magic of Pickathon make sure to block off the first weekend in August and make your way out to join the fun. You can find all the info you need at www.pickathon.com Enjoy the first double CD in the Pickathon collection. 2007 CD Features: Langhorne Slim, Dale Watson, Chatham County Line, The Handsome Family, Hacienda Brothers, The Gourds, Gregory and the Hawk, Horse Feathers, Rev.
