Synopsis

Album Description

While most of the neighborhood played outside, a certain breed of kid stayed in the bedrooms, learning and practicing their musical instruments. This tenacity birthed rock'n'roll gods and bluegrass legends. And when the hottest bluegrass pickers interpret indelible rock anthems, the results are breathtaking. The Bluegrass Tribute to Classic Rock Volume 2 contains another rousing round of great music all under one roof.

CD Reviews

Another Good Bluegrass Cover

Mark Carter | amarillo | 12/20/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I thought this was a joke, but after listening it appears to be some very good stuff. The music never goes below or above the original recording, basically it keeps to the original only using acoustic instruments. The lead singer has some very good pipes, and while sounding "hick", keeps to the original with the added southern flavor.

Adding one or two of these songs to your mix tape will no doubt be a surprise to your next rock party.

I really couldn't wait to hear how a bluegrass band could do Pink Floyd s Comfortably Numb, probably the greatest guitar solo piece ever put on tape. The band covers nicely, the acoustic version, while not as loud as the original, is a must listen to any Pink Floyd fan.

Cheap Tricks Surrender is almost funny, but then it's so well done you just can't complain.

You would think "Eye of the Tiger" would be a laugh in bluegrass, it is as some points, but mostly you have to surrender to some well crafted acoustic artistry.

And if that were not enough they did a KISS song, Rock And Roll All Night, If this was originally written as a bluegrass song, it couldn't have been done better.
