Get This!

Found an old cd at the office that I burned about a year ago - the theme of the cd was "odd cover songs." So, while listening to Hayseed Dixie cover Aerosmith and Kiss bluegrass style, Dwight Yoakam cover Cheap Trick, Johnny Cash cover Soundgarden, and Pat Boone massacre Ozzy and Deep Purple, I came across a track that I had forgotten about -- Luther Wright and the Wrong's bluegrass cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb."

They didn't just cover that track - Luther & Co covered the entire "Wall" album start to finish, bluegrass style. They called it "Rebuild The Wall" and it is insane. I managed to find most of the tracks online. I recommend it.

Now a remake of Outkast's "Ms. Jackson" is on, and I can't remember who this is --Ride or Blur or the Vines or someone.....

Midnite Sun worked up an amusing bluegrass cover of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy", but due to lyrical content, we can't play it very often and have probably forgotten how....

We played it for so many years in a row that we felt that there was mutual burn-out. We're playing the club in Monticello instead, which was probably not a wise move, since everyone will be in Hamburg. We are also helping with the sound for some acts for the festival, though. With playing in a club until the wee hours Friday and Saturday; working sound at the festival Saturday morning; and making the rounds Sunday for Mother's Day, it doesn't appear that I will be sleeping this weekend.
