Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
If you’re going to cover a song, change it so much to the point of near brilliance and don’t give a flying monkeys if it annoys the purist.
For Hayseed Dixie, and their cousins in arms The Bad Shepherds, taking a classic Rock song and giving it new life via the injection of new blood feels like such an honest and affirming thing to do, that you do wonder why some young musicians with boundless energy and creative juices flowing overtime don’t do the same rather than having their beautiful ability shrouded by the constraints placed upon them by sticking to rigidity laid down before them.
