No, I'm not making this up. Your favorite VH tunes, played by people with less teeth then Eddie. Surprise guest (which I'm sure he influenced this), Diamond Dave. Don't say I didn't warn you, if you start tapping your feet......

I tolerated Gary Cherone cause the tour kicked ass (lots of Dave era VH) but bluegrass. Eddie should be rolling over in his grave. Wait he's still alive. I think.???

There are some seriously talented bluegrassers and country folk in this collection (David Grisman (inventor of DAWG music), John Cowan formerly of New Grass Revival and Larry Cordle who wrote "Murder On Music Row" which was covered by Alan "F-ing" Jackson hisself).

That version of "Eruption" by Dennis Caplinger blows Eddie's away :D KIDDING FOLKS!

I was surprised how well "Panama" works as a bluegrass song. This concept of taking rock songs and bluegrassing them has been going on for a few years (I remember 1 collection of AC/DC songs for instance). It's almost a craze like everybody doing BOSSA NOVA versions of rock songs in the 60's and DISCO versions of rock songs in the 70's.

Keep an open mind and pray!
