Who's Feeling Young Now? is the third album by Punch Brothers, released February 14, 2012.

Background

The band Punch Brothers recorded the album at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee with producer/engineer Jacquire King.[1] The album has been described as "remarkably close to the indie-rock sounds of today" for a bluegrass album.[2] The album is considered more accessible than the band's previous work, based on a decision not to over-complicate the music: "instead of adding parts, you’re reinforcing existing parts."[3]

"Movement and Location", a song written by Chris Thile, a long time baseball fan of the Chicago Cubs, was inspired by former Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux's obsession over the movement and location of his pitches.[4]
