Fade to Bluegrass
Almost two years late to the party, I discovered Fade to Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica today.
I’m not sure what to say other than to check out the sample clips. There’s something eerily captivating about it. I laughed, yet I couldn’t turn it off. There’s a reason it has generally positive reviews on Amazon.
It’s not the first odd Metallica cover, Apocalyptica covered Metallica songs with cellos back in 1997 and released Plays Metallica by Four Cellos.
Some more rock covers done bluegrass style:
Black & Bluegrass: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourn & Black Sabbath
A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC
Kiss My Grass: A Hillbilly Tribute to Kiss
Pickin’ on Zeppelin: A Tribute
Pickin’ on Pink Floyd: A Bluegrass Tribute
One of my other favorite cover albums, done with a spin, is Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine.
