Second Son is an album by the Jim Hurst Duo released on Pinecastle PRC-1119, featuring Hurst on guitar and lead vocals alongside Ned Luberecki on banjo, with Jesse Brock on mandolin, Keith McReynolds on bass, Randy Kohrs on resonator guitar, and Kent Blanton contributing additional instrumentation. Hurst, a Tennessee native recognized as one of contemporary bluegrass's most technically accomplished flat-pick guitarists, leads a programme built around original compositions and carefully selected traditional material. The Pinecastle label, a Florida-based independent with a strong commitment to new traditional-style bluegrass, provides an appropriate home for a recording that balances musical sophistication with a clear-eyed respect for the genre's conventions. Kohrs's resonator guitar adds warm textural depth to the ensemble's acoustic palette.
