Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Hayseed Dixie meld the two most frequently and easily mocked forms of popular music metal and country. Let There Be Rockgrass is essentially an anthology of metal arranged for the banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar and upright bass, sung with accents straight out of Deliverance.

As might be surmised from the title, Hayseed Dixie are especially fond of the works of AC/DC, reworking "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Highway To Hell", among others. Other acts made to swap their spandex for denim are Aerosmith ("Walk This Way"), Kiss ("Detroit Rock City"), Queen ("Fat Bottom Girls") and, in a nod to contemporaneity, The Darkness ("I Believe In A Thing Called Love"). There are also a couple of original compositions. We await the next logical stage to this proposition: the world has waited too long for heavy-metal versions of "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Okie from Muskogee". --Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Combination, 28 Sep 2004
It is so refreshing to hear that artist are appearing from out off nowhere and giving the music industry a good shake!!!!. The Darkness did it first and this band equally do it justice. It's a perfect combination of genre, Rock and bluegrass, It instantly reminds you of the car chase scenes in Dukes of Hazard with some hard picking banjo, guitar and violin. It is an addictive CD which you will be proud to own. Non stop fast paced fun which i guarantee your feet will not stop tapping.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Album of 2004, 31 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Hayseed dixie are a Bluegrass band from the deep south of the USA . They've been going for about 4 years , doing covers of rock classics in their own inimitable "Rockgrass" style . This is the first album officially available over here , and is a compelation of stuff off their first 3 albums along with some previously unreleased live stuff : And it's fantastic , I know from the above description that it sounds like they're a novelty covers band , but they're not , they're a bunch of very talented musicians who play some of the best bluegrass music you'll ever hear . Buy it , you won't be disappointed .

3.0 out of 5 stars Novelty value wears thin quite quickly, 18 Nov 2004
By Mr. R. B. Ager "Ronald Ager" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In theory this looks like a great oddball idea - our favourite rock tracks given the hillbilly bluegrass country treatment. It's not entirely new, of course - Bernie Leadon of the Eagles took time out 15 years ago to do something similar, though not to the really heavy metal tracks, under the name of Run C&W, and there's many a cajun band around that likes to dip into the great rock and roll songbook from time to time.

This album acts as a compilation of Hayseed Dixie's previous works, devoted to AC/DC and Kiss, and adding in some more mainstream material (Queen, Bad Company, Darkness, and Motorhead's "Ace of Spades") that will be familiar to the UK market, and which do actually work quite well. It's all acoustic, the guitar-picking is accomplished and it sounds as if a good time was being had by all.

There are also three original compositions, one of which, "I'm Keeping Your Poop (In A Jar)" is wicked, and only 2mins 20sec long. And therein lies the problem with much of the rest of this album - many of the other tracks go on too long, even if they're only three and a half minutes, due to the relatively monotonous tone of the guitar/banjo/bass combination and the fact that there's not much variation in tempo. The eight and a half minute trudge through "Highway To Hell" quickly palls.

I'm not totally disappointed with my purchase, but it's one to dip in to here and there, rather than listen to all the way through, because the novelty quickly wears thin.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've seen them play live
and they absolutely rocked. We loved the entire gig. They walk modestly onto stage and just started playing instead of the usual triumphalism you get from so many bands. Read more
