Holy smokes. I just flipped over to their website and listened to their version of Led Zeppelin's "Rock & Roll"... and it sounds like it was written for bluegrass! Damn good.

metal covers of bluegrass is god as well......


do a great version of "I don't Know" m'self...ozzy for the cheap seats.....

Ohh yeah....Bad Livers, Hayseed Dixie, Baby Gramps, to name the few recorded...bluegrass covers of metal is god!

Music is "Goin to California" by Led Zepplin. I believe this is the "Pickin on Zepplin" CD where bluegrass musicians get together to cover rock stuff. Enjoy!

Appalachian, traditional bluegrass.

Many, many versions of this age-old song have been recorded. These are the most widely known lyrics, of course made popular by the movie. Here's a good rundown, if you're interested...

I'd put a 'bluegrass' tag on this if I were the OP - this is definitely bluegrassy country.

(Shamelessly) stolen from the google video page :

The "Mario & Zelda Big Band Live" concert was held on September 14th, 2003, at the Nihon Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The DVD recording of this event was bundled with the Japanese gaming magazine "Nintendo Dream" vol. 101.

Mario & Zelda Big Band Live was, as the name suggests, live performances of Mario and Zelda music arranged into jazz, Latin, country, and bluegrass. The host, Ashura Benimaru Itoh, started off the concert with an awesome guitar arrangement of the Super Mario Bros. "main theme" and "underworld theme." The performances that followed were divided almost evenly between the Tokyo CubaBoys Jr. (The Big Band of Rogues) and Mr. Yoshihiro Arita (with his band).

Not included is "Mario Scat Version" (Super Mario Sunshine bonus level theme), which finally surfaces as track 4 on the M&ZBBL CD.

After every performance or two, the host talked to the guests a little bit, presumably about the music they just heard and the game it was from.

Short version: It's Mario & Zelda music, intertwined with various interviews with people from Nintendo, including Shigeru Miyamoto.

Tracklist includes musics from the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi's Island, The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: WindWalker.

This movie and soundtrack is special to my family because it reminds us so much of my dad that died a couple of years ago. Maybe it's why my kids like the movie so much because they think it's where there "Paw Paw" came from.

This post depression era/ old country south is the culture from which my dad was raised. He played guitar and sang old country on the local radio station after school when he was a teenager.
I remember him playing some of these songs around the house when I was kid. He was especially funny at "He's in the Jailhouse Now" and "You Are My Sunshine". He'd always ham it up to get a rise out of my mom who always pretended his singing annoyed her. What an act.

Since dad passed, my children have grown a fondness for old time country and bluegrass music.

Awesome Bluegrass in action. Nice find.
