Another great Pickn'!
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I bought this as a Christmas present for a friend who is a HUGE U2 fan as am I. We opened it up right away and LOVED it! If you are a U2 fan you will enjoy this album!
Must-have for any U2 fan
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Melodies and harmonies are true to the original, but conveyed through the lush and lustrous instrumentation of bluegrass music. Despite the absence of a vocalist, the original meaning of each song is conveyed with refreshing honesty and down-to-earth accessibility. Bluegrass fans may be disappointed by some concessions made to rock, but otherwise ALL of these covers are beautifully and tastefully done.
Awesome Tribute.
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I love U2, and thanks to this album I now love Bluegrass. Man, I wish that make a tribute to The Police, Peter Gabriel, and Genesis. If you want to broaden your horizons, or just love the MUSIC of U2, buy this album.
Very interesting "experiment"
Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: What this really shows us is just how much U2 has always been influenced by American bluegrass and country. Out of the several attempts to cross genre's with U2's music, this one works best because their music already seems so filled with bluegrass touches. This makes for a very interesting listen, and never seems out-of-character the way the other cross-genre tribute albums have. Very interesting . . .
irish bluegrass
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: This is a great cd. Bluegrass music does have a bit of an irish background. So it makes perfect sense. Some of the songs seem to have a bit of a celtic sound which is really pretty. This comes highly recommended.
