An amazing bluegrass cover of "Rocket Man".

I think I like this cover better than the original.

What's your other fav blue grass covers?

I find almost any bluegrass cover of a popular song enjoyable.

I hate country for the most part, but bluegrass is just damn fine listen'n music.

Ironhorse has some great covers. I have their album of Modest Mouse covers and it is pretty awesome.

I saw Hayseed Dixie in a small club when I was in school. They somehow lost their triangle and went next door to an Ace Hardware and bought a doorbell and wired it up before the show started and used that for Hells Bells.

I only discovered my love for Bluegrass in the last year or so.

I first heard it back in 1997, thanks to a FIL's friend.

Thank you Gary, you planted a seed that day.

LMAO @ "Hells Bells".

It was my grandfather favorite expression, and yesterday would have been his 98th birthday.
