I love these types of bands. Dread Zepplin is a pretty popular one.

I bought my dad a CD of a bluegrass band doing Pink Floyd (dad's favorite band.) I don't remember their name but they were great. I heard samples on amazon so I ordered it and had it shipped to his house. Somehow he managed to lose it before I ever got to hear it .

I've seen them live and have the CD of AC/DC covers. Brilliant stuff. When I saw them, though, I was much more impressed by their originals and some of the Kerosene Bros. (their alter-ego, sort of) songs.

Haven't seen them but have 'Let There Be Rockgrass' - and as An Arky said their own material is good too. 'I'm Keeping Your Poop in a Jar' being my fave track from the album.

My kid sister is learning mandolin, mostly sticking to bluegrass traditionals at this point. I played her their AC/DC cd, and you could see the wheels turning in her head. (Next stop, Flogging Molly.)

That would be Luther Wright and the Wrongs.

I love Hayseed DIxie, I have their AC/DC album, the Kiss album and a selection og 80's tunes (centerfold my J. Giles anyone?)
