I first heard this amazing group on TV (Glastonbury '05)
when they played an amazing cover of Motorhead's
"Ace Of Spades" Let me first just start by saying that
before I heard this band I was quite narrow-minded about
'bluegrass' music but these guys take it to another level - and some.
Hayseed Dixie (pronounced AC/DC) are mainly renowed for their
cover songs of rock bands,and this album (Weapons Of Grass Destruction)is no exception,
This album features 15 tracks (5 of which are their own tracks)
The rest are mind-blowing covers that are techniaclly excellent
the speed in which these guys play their banjos, guitars, violins & bluergrass mandolins
is literally jaw-dropping. Highlights on this albums have to be
A excellent re-work of Cliff Richard's, yes you heard right!
"Devil-Woman" which I never rated as a song until I heard their version
which has probably been doubled in tempo but is toe-tappingly
addictive to listen to. Other highlights on this album is the
cover of Status Quo's "Down Down" featuring Quo's Francis Rossi on guitar.
It is amazing how 'tight' this band are all their key & cord changes
are spot on & left me with goosebumps. Strawberry Fields Forever
is a must listen about halfway through the track they suddenly medley it with "Cotton Eyed Joe"
which surprisingly works really well. Another more surprising inclusion is
a reworked cover of Scissor Sisters "Don't Feel like Dancing" which breaks
up the rock theme well before heading back in to the rock covers once again.
If you like amazingly quick & precise music then this album is for you
before I heard this band I was strictly into dance music only, but
now I am a huge fan of this band they just have to be heard to be believed.
Truly awe-inspiring.

Yes I am aware it's by Motorhead! - I must've lost my train of thought this morning...how do I edit my review I cannot find a way of doing so?

good review but ace of spades was motorhead, they did cover AC/DC's have a drink on me though. ♥ßeth.

I've heard bits and pieces of this band and have loved what I've heard, must get to hear more. Decent review, although I think Ace of Spades was Motorhead
