Silage Nightmare: Blind Hippo

Adjectives like “searing” and “merciless” rarely apply to banjo music, but in this case it’s appropriate. Frontman Chet “Three-Thumbs” Jackson of Silage Nightmare picks the strings so fast his band can barely keep up, but on Blind Hippo they manage, and the result is some of the most exquisite bluegrass you will ever hear.
