Great CD. You will be amazed with the instrumental covers of the Zep songs we all love.
I have several other pickin-on albums, and this is as good as all the others.
Heard some of this on an internet radio station a few years back - bought the CD in 05, still enjoy it very much. Felt it was a wonderful job done on the recreation of Zeppelins music.
very tight and precision, accuracy,the simply mind bending,not a parody by far my fav pickin on.
Well yep I ended up submitting to it, and then really liking it. Now mind you no way would this happen up till a few years ago. I still laugh at dif times playing them. Opera, No. What do you have to lose.
But then, a friend, listening to me talk of my search to get some kind of music going for the day, loaned me a String Cheese Incident CD, an On The Road 3 cd set, and said just try it for awhile. He was flat out good. For I did before, but now a convert, and after a couple years of it, I get it, and will be enjoying these for years to come, just like the real rock and roll at times. Anyway, and Rap is out. Classical puts me to sleep. Even today I seen some of it not long ago, its corny country stuff, but when Roy Clark comes on and solos for a song, then man always caught my attention.
I don't care if your homeless sitting in a park all day with an ipod on, you just cant listen to real hard rock and roll for hours and hours at time all day everyday. Well thanks to my Dad, who used to watch Hee Haw all the time when I was growing up, and man did I hate it that show. and flunk so much stuff that's out there. Lastly, I am not someone who sells these CD's.
But still I would "never" and have never owned a bluegrass cd. Don't just listen partly or once then blow it all off, scoff and go Sacrilege. So what to do. You see its not all about "oh this one doesn't jam enough" or the other one is better than this one. Pop I don't care for. Some more String Cheese cd's. Okay so its like this, I have been listening to rock and roll for 25 years I work in an office, do the "cube life", sitting at a PC for most of the day, working on my own, popping out to get liquids or drain liquids, chat some, that's the life.
Just thought I would let anyone know that is searching for a new way listen to the day to try it out a bit. If you like Rock, and don't want to listen to it all day, then get used to these trust me, I did and its worth it. And I will sooner or later just end up getting everyone of these pickin' on cd's. Nah. Just having some "cruising tunes" playing with no singing really is relaxing.
So having remembered seeing these Pickin' on cd's before, I said well why not try it, so I started off with one, right away started laughing and laughing good not at it. Get real. I can handle some of it in the morning, ease into the day, but not allot of it. I don't have this playing all day, but its taking up a couple hours a day. Only, if your going to listen to music all day, you just cant listen to real pure rock and roll all day, you just cant. What I didn't notice before was music and singing along with it ALL day works on you more than you realize. Let it grow on you.
I don't know, many people are born and raised on this stuff. I actually am very picky if you read my reviews, and look at my Amazon name. Now this ipod deal comes along a few years ago. And now some coworkers and friends have them loaded up also. I still have all the "real" bands loaded into my ipod, never giving up on Classic Rock and Roll, ever. And I will tell ya what, that was a couple years ago and 6 pickin' on cd's later, I am so much more relaxed at work now. Its all in how you approach it.
Country singing about my dog had an affair on my wife doesn't cut either, what did I just say. Give it time. Before long I was walking around the office humming along, co workers going what you got playing man. Getting older. Believe me this has caught me off guard. Good luck.
