RIPE is  THE DIXIE BEE-LINERS' highly anticipated sophomore release. Produced by Bil VornDick (Bob Dylan, Alison Krauss) for Pinecastle Records, this album features the hit single "Down on The Crooked Road," an homage to Virginia's Heritage Music Trail.

"[RIPE] shows just how original this group is. From the lyrics and music to how it is all perfectly put together, The Dixie Bee-Liners have a sound all their own, and it's a pleasing, lively sound! If this is the direction contemporary bluegrass music is headed, I'm all for it. In fact, I'll take a bit more!"

The Dixie Bee-Liners signature "Tortis" ^TM picks:   The next best thing to real turtle shell!

Why spend between $60 - $100 for a piece of recovered hawksbill? Tortis ^TM picks have the look, feel, and most importantly, the TONE of real shell, and are made especially for The Dixie Bee-Liners by Red Bear Trading Company, right here in the USA.

Tortis ^TM are made from a polymerized animal protein that has many of the same physical properties as real turtle shell, and which makes it ideal for guitar picks. You could look at it as cultured turtle-shell. Many people who have tried picks made from this material cannot tell them apart from the real thing. You will be amazed at the control and tonal improvement.

The Dixie Bee-Liners use these picks exclusively, and now you can too!

These picks are available in Medium (1.11-1.25mm) and Heavy (1.26 - 1.65mm). Both styles have the "Speed Bevel" edge, which is designed to simulate a wear pattern that many players experience on their favorite picks. Since the Tortis material isn't going to wear naturally, it has to be given this bevel by hand. In many cases, once a pick acquires this wear pattern two things happen. First, the player gains a little speed because the wear pattern fits the up and down strokes of the player's style. Secondly, in many cases, the pick then breaks or wears through and has to be replaced or re-shaped with steel wool or sandpaper, thus losing real-estate (becoming smaller). Tortis ^TM picks with Speed Bevel will give you faster picking speeds WITHOUT wearing through. The best of both worlds!

NOTE: Tortis ^TM picks are very similar to real turtle shell, so they must be treated as such. Store your pick in your guitar's pick compartment. DO NOT store it in your wallet or carry it around with you in your pocket with metal objects. If you also carry coins, keys etc. in there, your pick will get scratched and may break. In your wallet, it is doomed to failure. The picks are brittle, and if flexed, like real turtle shell, will most likely break. Don't let your pick go through the washer and/or dryer in one of your pants pockets. The material is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and as such it will most likely deform if allowed to soak in water. Keep your pick dry and clean when not in use. Wipe it off during play time and do so often.

With proper use -- as a guitar pick only (not a screwdriver, scraper, knife, box-cutter, etc.) -- it will likely last you a very long time.
