I can die now. There is nothing more that can happen in the world of country music that could be as big a surprise and more of a hoot then Hayseed Dixie's brand new album "A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC." For those of you who are die hard country music fans and DON'T know who AC/DC is, don't worry about it. Just enjoy the good bluegrass music that the guys of Hayseed Dixie have made for us. For those of you who DO know who AC/DC is, I bet you never imagined their music done hillbilly style did ya?

"Highway To Hell" has always been one of my favorite heavy metal tunes. It ROCKS as a bluegrass tune.

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is so cool as a bluegrass song that I will never be able to listen to AC/DC's version again. Hayseed does it in a very laid back tempo.

"Hells Bells" does not begin with the gong of the original version but something more appropriate for a bluegrass song, the bell from a hotel desk.

"T.N.T" is my favorite song from the album. It's a song my father-in-law would love. The opening stanza of the song is pigs oinking and ahem body noises that I never thought I would hear on a country music CD.

"Back In Black" is done in a surprisingly laid back style that very much becomes the song.
