Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the “pros’ top banjo picker”
Universal Favorite is the fourth record Noam Pikelny has released under his own name, but it’s truly his solo debut.
The new release features only the man himself, playing lovely originals and covers that showcase his unique approach to the instrument and compositional flair. He recorded them live in the studio without accompaniment, coaxing a wide array of sounds and colors out of his instruments, embracing the challenges and exploring the new possibilities of the solo setting.
