Get a Load of the ‘Hillbillified’ Version of Iron Maiden’s ‘Run to the Hills’
You would think I'd be tired of all these hillbilly and cello versions of classic Rock and Metal songs by now, but you'd be wrong - dead wrong.
When it comes to bands covering songs within the same genre, I typically prefer the ones who stay true to the original, rather than re-imagining the song altogether. Obviously, a group of people who play banjos and mandolins can't exactly recreate the sounds of electrified instruments, so they get a pass.
Steve 'n' Seagulls have proven to be one of the best at putting a country spin on a rockin' tune. If you dig what you hear, the group recently released their debut album, Farm Machine, through Spinefarm Records.
