Comment:
Is there something intrinsically funny about a country or bluegrass cover of a rock or r&b or reggaetune? I think maybe there is, but for this mix I've tried to pick versions that are fun to listen to even if there is something laughable about them.
Actually the Patsy Cline & Tibby Edwards performances are every bit as rocking as their sources, no joke!
Of course the Carter Family Are You Lonesome Tonight is the source, rather than a cover, of Elvis' version, but since his performance is the one most people are familiar with, it's surprisingly disconcerting to hear what a roots country song it really is.
I have to thank laufi for getting me started thinking about this, with his tribute to RUN C&W , a truly fun group.

Feedback:
OH, Lord. This is beautiful! JUST BEAUTIFUL, I tell ya! I must have it!!! >:)
Very cool. I'm a big fan of Luther Wrong's cover album of the Wall - it's pretty inspired.
Looks like ponderosa-sized big fun joey! An' I ain't jus' a sayin' it 'cuz I have ta'....
Wow, this is awesome. I love the Waco Brothers, and Run C&W is also top-notch. That stuff is just ridiculously fun.
....COOL!
Hey Joey! This looks well groovy. What a lot of fun contained within. Are you up for a trade soon, my friend? It's been a long time, and I dig your mixes muchly!
beautiful! Hayseed Dixie is quite fun. Yeah Sean is right ,but it's actually Luther Wright, the band is called the Wrongs. They are from Kingston Ontario, not far from here.
Fantastic!! Great idea for a mix, so no wonder that you're the one who came up with it
Woooow! This is just brilliant!!! I'll need tio have this sooner or later . . . And, er, I still haven't e-mailed you . . . Sheoot, dood. Will do so within 24 hours, though.
VERY cool Joey! With mixes like this you......You're the ACE on AOTM!
Looks wonderful, Joey. Truly wonderful.
This looks like great fun.
awesome cool
awesome cool
nice concept for a mix, and well pulled off. also, sorry about not sending your mix off sooner, i've been in a bit of a slump monetary wise, but i should get the mix out tomorrow, along with another mix to to compensate for the lateness.
Another good 'un.
