I have several other pickin-on albums, and this is as good as all the others.
Felt it was a wonderful job done on the recreation of Zeppelins music. Heard some of this on an internet radio station a few years back - bought the CD in 05, still enjoy it very much.
very tight and precision, accuracy,the simply mind bending,not a parody by far my fav pickin on.
He was flat out good. Even today I seen some of it not long ago, its corny country stuff, but when Roy Clark comes on and solos for a song, then man always caught my attention. And now some coworkers and friends have them loaded up also. You see its not all about "oh this one doesn't jam enough" or the other one is better than this one. So having remembered seeing these Pickin' on cd's before, I said well why not try it, so I started off with one, right away started laughing and laughing good not at it.
So what to do. Well yep I ended up submitting to it, and then really liking it. What I didn't notice before was music and singing along with it ALL day works on you more than you realize. Anyway, and Rap is out. Good luck.
Just having some "cruising tunes" playing with no singing really is relaxing. I still have all the "real" bands loaded into my ipod, never giving up on Classic Rock and Roll, ever. And I will sooner or later just end up getting everyone of these pickin' on cd's. I can handle some of it in the morning, ease into the day, but not allot of it. Only, if your going to listen to music all day, you just cant listen to real pure rock and roll all day, you just cant. I still laugh at dif times playing them. Get real.
But then, a friend, listening to me talk of my search to get some kind of music going for the day, loaned me a String Cheese Incident CD, an On The Road 3 cd set, and said just try it for awhile. Just thought I would let anyone know that is searching for a new way listen to the day to try it out a bit. Let it grow on you. Some more String Cheese cd's.
Okay so its like this, I have been listening to rock and roll for 25 years I work in an office, do the "cube life", sitting at a PC for most of the day, working on my own, popping out to get liquids or drain liquids, chat some, that's the life. I don't have this playing all day, but its taking up a couple hours a day. For I did before, but now a convert, and after a couple years of it, I get it, and will be enjoying these for years to come, just like the real rock and roll at times. Classical puts me to sleep. But still I would "never" and have never owned a bluegrass cd.
Now this ipod deal comes along a few years ago. And I will tell ya what, that was a couple years ago and 6 pickin' on cd's later, I am so much more relaxed at work now. Country singing about my dog had an affair on my wife doesn't cut either, what did I just say. Opera, No. I actually am very picky if you read my reviews, and look at my Amazon name.
Lastly, I am not someone who sells these CD's. I don't care if your homeless sitting in a park all day with an ipod on, you just cant listen to real hard rock and roll for hours and hours at time all day everyday. and flunk so much stuff that's out there. Its all in how you approach it. If you like Rock, and don't want to listen to it all day, then get used to these trust me, I did and its worth it.
Don't just listen partly or once then blow it all off, scoff and go Sacrilege. Getting older. I don't know, many people are born and raised on this stuff. Give it time. Before long I was walking around the office humming along, co workers going what you got playing man. Believe me this has caught me off guard.
Pop I don't care for. Nah. Now mind you no way would this happen up till a few years ago. Well thanks to my Dad, who used to watch Hee Haw all the time when I was growing up, and man did I hate it that show. What do you have to lose.
That said, if you like bluegrass and Led Zeppelin, this is incredible. As it turned out this is my favorite song on this CD, they do great things with it. Hence the 1 star reviews.
When I looked at the track listing, I wasn't sure how well some of the songs would translate between the genres. Rest assured, these are not hacks covering Led Zeppelin for the name, and they have brought something new and inventive to each song. Stairway to Heaven, for example.
Alright, if you don't like bluegrass, you probably won't like this. Talented musicians, with new takes on classic songs. This is a beautiful CD and I can't recommend it enough, if, like me, you enjoy Led Zeppelin AND bluegrass.
You probably should have thought of that before you bought a bluegrass cover, yea. This CD made my week.
