Led Zepplin and Bluegrass…Whoa!

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

Dear Readers,

It is great to be writing another post for you. A friend of mine, Lewis, gave me a CD entitled Pickin’ On Zepplin, A Tribute. Its zippy and well played. Who would have thought of this combination? It is part of a tribute series from the CMH label.

It may not be for some Led Zepplin fans, but I like Zepplin and I like bluegrass and I like this tribute.

To give you an idea of the calliber of one the artists playing on the CD, I’ll introduce Dennis Caplinger of Primal Twang. He plays banjo and is the music director.

He has toured with Eric Clapton, Vince Gill, Nickel Creek, Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen, Byron Berline, Dan Crary, Richard Greene, Chris Thile, Sean Watkins, John Reischmann, Ray Park, Jann Browne, Kevin Welch, Kelly Willis, Ray Price, Rita Coolidge, Buck Howdy, Tim Flannery, Eve Selis and The Academy of Country Music Awards Show Band (list borrowed from primaltwang.com). More about Caplinger later.

Enjoy.
