Fade to Bluegrass

Recommended Posts

At the young age of 34(35 in a few weeks) I can now say I've heard it all. A friend at work brought me a CD by Iron Horse called Fade to Bluegrass. It is an a full blown Bluegrass group covering Metallica tunes. I was speechless, still am. Anyone else ever heard this?

This is well done, btw. I don't own it, but I have heard it. Fun stuff.

There's also a couple Grateful Dead BG albums. "Pickin' On The Dead" comes to mind.

If you like bluegrass and haven't heard "Old And In The Way" I suggest picking up the original, self-titled album or "Breakdown." Both are available on Dead.net. Jerry could pick a mean banjo back in the day. It was an all-star cast including Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, Pete Rowen, Vasser Clements and John Kahn.

It is sad to report that the Moody Blues also have a BLUEGRASS tribute.

Now why would someone do that to the Moody Blues!

I do have to admit I like "Dread Zeppelin" singing Led Zepplin songs as if it was song by Elivs.

Well there are a lot of "tribute" versions out there, some are good and some are just bad.

Then there's the reggae version of DSOTM. Dubb Side Of The Moon???? Something like that. Instead of a cash register during the opening of "Money" they use the sound of someone doing a bong hit (not that I know what that sounds like2.gif). Pretty funny stuff.
