All Music Guide - Ronnie D. Lankford
The bigger a band gets, the more it will get picked on. Take U2. While a number of lesser groups have only been treated to one entry in CMH's Pickin' On series, the Irish rockers are receiving a second potshot. Of course the process is made easy when a band has so much material to pull from. Pickin' on U2, Vol. 2 includes instrumental versions of "Stay," "Beautiful Day," and "October."

Banjoist Scott Vestal is a fairly new talent to the acoustic scene, while banjoist Herb Pedersen and violinist Richard Greene have been blazing new trails for 30 years.

The collection ends with an original Celtic-flavored composition titled "The Boys from Ireland," a fitting tribute not only to U2 but to all the great musicians who have hailed from the island.
