Noam Pikelny is releasing his long awaited second album Beat The Devil and Carry
A Rail on Tuesday, October 25th, 2011 on Compass Records. Pikelny is undeniably
the next big thing to happen to the 5-string banjo, a player of unparalleled
technique, he confounds and inspires listeners with his mastery of the
instrument. As a member of Punch Brothers, he has helped to broaden the
awareness of the banjo in the mainstream, earning the first annual Steve Martin
Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass Music and a coveted appearance on
Late Show with David Letterman with Martin.

On his long-awaited sophomore recording, Noam delivers a set that is as dazzling
for its virtuosity as it is engaging for its melodic sensibilities. In addition
to an all star cast of instrumentalists including Bryan Sutton (guitar), Chris
Thile (mandolin), Tim O’Brien (mandolin, fiddle) and Jerry Douglas
(dobro), he also shares the spotlight with guest vocalists Aoife
O’Donovan (Crooked Still) on a delightful rendering of Tom Waits’
“Fish and Bird” and Tim O’Brien on a re-working of the Henry
Thomas classic “Bob Mckinney.” Other standout tracks include a banjo
duet with Steve Martin on the old-time standard “Cluck Old Hen” and
a mind-boggling, instrumental powerhouse trio featuring Chris Thile and Bryan
Sutton on the original “Bear Dog Grit.” Rounding out the band is
fiddler Stuart Duncan, Punch Brothers guitarist Chris Eldridge, and bassist Mark
Schatz. The release marks Punch Brothers fiddler Gabe Witcher's debut as
producer.
