Dedicated to bringing Rock and Bluegrass together, the Pickin’ On Series has been a tradition at CMH Records for over 30 years and 300 albums. They’ve announced the next release as Pickin’ On Post Malone, out on digital release on July 31, 2026. Those taking on the singer, songwriter, rapper, and record producer’s hits include Water Tower, Big Richard, JD Casper, The Barefoot Movement, Holler Choir and series regulars Iron Horse. The track “Sunflower” performed by Water Tower is out now alongside a video.
For the collection’s first single, Post Malone’s “Sunflower” gets a down-home makeover. Pickin’ On Series teamed up with Water Tower, a high-energy, Punk-Rock Bluegrass band out of Los Angeles, to reimagine this Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse anthem with banjo, fiddle, and mandolin.
Pickin’ On Post Malone brings together a new generation of Bluegrass and Americana artists to reinterpret the music of Post Malone. It features Water Tower’s take on three favorites, Big Richard. JD Casper, The Barefoot Movement, and Holler Choir’s. Series stalwarts Iron Horse return with their take on two of Post Malone’s biggest hits. Special featured guests MyVerse and Sean Jacobs, who’s opened for Post Malone previously, also take on pair of tracks.
Though Pickin’ On started modestly in 1993 with the release of Pickin’ On the Movies, tributes to The Beatles and Eagles soon followed, and by 1997 the Pickin’ On Series was on a streak. Now over 30 years in and 300 albums deep, the Pickin’ On Series is a tradition at CMH.
