The Pickin’ On Series, known for its Bluegrass interpretations of major artists, has been a tradition at CMH Records for over 30 years across 300 albums. Now the next installment has been announced: Pickin’ On Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bluegrass Revival. This album, set for digital and CD release on June 20, 2025, marks the first time Bluegrass quartet Iron Horse have taken on the songs of Creedence Clearwater Revival. The first single “Bad Moon Rising” is out now.

The Pickin’ On Series previously gave CCR the Bluegrass treatment with the instrumental album Pickin’ On Creedence Clearwater Revival: A Tribute (1999), and a bonus track reissue, Born on the Bayou: The Bluegrass Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival (2001), however, this new Iron Horse recording is the first to feature vocals and their own arrangements.

Since 2003, Iron Horse, featuring Ricky Rogers (bass, vocals), Tony Robertson (mandolin, vocals), Vance Henry (guitar, vocals) and Anthony Richardson (banjo, vocals), has been the main recording artist for Pickin’ On.

On Pickin’ On Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bluegrass Rising, Iron Horse take on classic songs like like “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising, “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and “Looking Out My Back Door,” among others.
