Red Smiley and the Bluegrass Cut-Ups, Vol. 3 is a Red Smiley album released on Rural Rhythm RRRS-211, from the extensive catalogue the vocalist and guitarist recorded for the California independent following his professional separation from Don Reno. Arthur Lee "Red" Smiley — whose warm baritone and genuinely likeable stage presence had made him the accessible public face of Reno and Smiley for over a decade — continued performing and recording with his own Bluegrass Cut-Ups after the partnership dissolved. Rural Rhythm issued multiple volumes of Smiley's subsequent recordings, documenting a working regional act maintaining a loyal fan base through consistent touring and recording activity. The series captures Smiley's natural warmth and his commitment to straightforward bluegrass in the format that suited his unpretentious artistry.
