Iron Horse is pickin my brain
Joe introduced me to the “pickin’ on” series a couple of months ago but I just started to get really into it in the last week with the “Pickin’ on Modest Mouse” disc. Basically the series consists of popular bands being covered in Bluegrass style. I got so hooked that I was looking on Amazon for other albums in the series and realized that there are a RIDICULOUS amount of them. I promptly purchased the Shins Bluegrass Tribute but there are so many good ones to choose from. Franz Ferdinand is probably next on my list. From what I can tell they are mostly done by one band called Iron Horse who have also released some of their own music, like this one at CD Baby.
Here are a some links to pages with previewable MP3s for bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, REM, Rolling Stones and many many more.
