A couple of Sundays ago I put up a bluegrass/country song titled "Seven Hillsides". It meant a lot to me, touching as it did on several points near and dear to this retired pastor's heart. I also admitted in that post that I didn't listen to much music in those genres.
One reader (who wishes to remain anonymous) thought it was time I broadened my horizons. He'd seen how I've put up Pink Floyd videos in the past, so he sent me a link to a bluegrass version of their album "Dark Side of the Moon". This is by a northern California group calling themselves Poor Man's Whiskey, and they title their version of the album "Darkside of the Moonshine".
Here's the full album. I found it a lot of fun.
The group has put out several albums. I'll have to listen to more of their music.

If you like mashups, then may I recommend:
ReplyDeleteDread Zeppelin. Reggae versions of Led Zeppelin (and other) songs. The lead singer is an Elvis impersonator. It works, somehow. They have multiple albums, but Un-Led-Ed is probably the best.
Hayseed Dixie. Bluegrass versions of hard rock songs, particularly AC/DC. They have 16 studio albums.
+1 for Hayseed Dixie. They're a lot of fun as well.
ReplyDeleteI'ma LIKIN' this!!!! As Elvis would asy, "Thang ya. Thang ya verruh muuuuuch."
ReplyDeleteThat was...interesting... ;-)
