I was just gonna mention them. They're great!

In place of the standard industry "Bio," here's the official story of Hayseed Dixie:

So just what the hell is this whole Hayseed Dixie thing all about, you ask? Well, the Liner notes from the first Hayseed Dixie album, "A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC," say it all:

"From the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler, deep in the heart of Appalachia, comes a sound that is old yet new. In an area completely isolated from outside cultural and musical influence, this band of acoustic musicians grew up playing the traditional music of their forefathers.

Then, as fate would have it, one crisp fall afternoon, a stranger passed through the holler. Well, he almost made it through. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for appreciators of great music worldwide, the stranger crashed his car into a stately old oak tree at Devil's Elbow Curve. Sadly, the stranger expired, but his legacy lives on. For under the back seat of his car, the boys found some old black vinyl records as they went through his belongings looking for identification. All they had to listen to them on was an old Edison Victrola that only played at 78 R.P.M., but the boys all agreed it was some mighty fine country music. So, in memory of the stranger who had perished the boys set about learning these songs . . . "

I totally dig Hayseed Dixie. Proof that good music is like a good story, it works in any genre. And the lyrics are actually easier to understand in bluegrass.
