20 Bluegrass Favorites, released by Rural Rhythm in 1967, is a compact 20-song album by Don Reno, Bill Harrell, and the Tennessee Cut-Ups — the working configuration that had succeeded Reno and Smiley's long partnership after Red Smiley's health forced him to scale back in the mid-1960s. The program leans into showpiece instrumentals like Under the Double Eagle and Dill Pickle Rag alongside the band's vocal repertoire. Rural Rhythm specialized in budget-line bluegrass and country releases for rural retail; their 20-songs-per-LP framing kept Reno's distinctive single-string banjo style circulating to audiences far from major-label outlets through the late 1960s.
