Reminds me of the Blue Dogs’ 1999 version of “Brickhouse”

Off topic: Remember I sent you that screen shot that one time of your blog the way it looks on my Firefox: gray background with gray diagonal hatching over everything.

I noticed that in Internet
Explorer, the hatching loads first, and then it gets covered up by white. I guess the hatching is your background image or something, because it’s still visible on the left-hand side. So it’s some kind of problem with Firefox not being instructed to load the “top background image.”

The right-hand column is always on its own background and you never see the hatching under there. So whatever code puts the background under there, perhaps duplicating it would make the white background work better.

It’s not a huge deal though.

Not sure if anyone has every heard the orchestra version of Floyd, but it is quite amazing.

Also – glad to see someone give the Gourds credit! I have loved that version of the song for years (it was the first time I was able to get the lyrics!)

I’ve had that album for quite a while. I thought it was actually a pretty good re-interpretation of the original. The angst of Pink Floyd’s version translated easily into the “woe-is-me” of country.

I wasn’t as shocked as I thought I would be…. but then again I just finished going through my collection of Dred Zeppelin the other week

For my money the best “countrified” Pink Floyd is the Austin Lounge Lizards:

of course, for pure cross genre lunacy, it is difficult to top “cotton eye joe” from the techno-hillbilly band “rednex”

this song used to demolish dance floors in the early 90′s.

Morganovich,

I love that version of Gin n’ Juice. But it’s not Phish. It’s a bluegrass/roots band called The Gourds.
