I was thinking of what my ultimate covers bands would be and came up with:

Surfing Stevens - the songs of Sufjan Stevens and Shaking Stevens performed by a Dick Dale style guitarist.

What would your ultimate covers band be?

I like hearing Galactic cover just about anything. I'll have to give this one some more thought.

I think we may have a winner.

Or how about Grrrls Aloud. Sleater Kinney play the songs of Girls Aloud.

This has been around awhile.

And it's not very good bluegrass. Kinda western swing/cowboy sing-a-long/blue grass. Riders In The Sky kind of stuff.

How about "Rebuild the Wall" by Luther Wright and the Wrongs.

Pink Floyd's "The Wall" done bluegrass style - I only have heard a couple of tracks, and it was a while back, but I thought it was quite good.

Are you disparaging Ranger Doug? That's not healthy in these here parts.

(it may be the easy way, but it's not the Cowboy Way)
