    FatBoy Slim featuring Bootsy Collins - The Joker

    Ignore the video for the most part...

    Bootsy Collins brings a bit of Funk to this Steve Miller stoner classic.

    I discovered these guys while searching through YouTube for some rare Who songs.

    I know The Who is the greatest rock band ever (yes, I know that), and I like bluegrass too. So, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this mix of the two.

    The Hillbenders have recorded the entire rock opera Tommy in acoustic bluegrass style, calling it a "opry". :biggrin5: I got a kick out of that, but then I heard them and I loved their take on Tommy. And they've also recorded other Who songs as well.


    Here's a few of them:

    Here's a strange crossover. The Wilson sisters of Heart doing a fantastic Stairway to Heaven during a tribute last year to Led Zeppelin. May be my favorite cover ever...or so far anyway.

    By far my favorite Michael Jackson song, but I think these two give him a run for his money. IMO the girl's voice is over the top, gives me the chills.

    I have a similar soft spot which is why I own every Me First and the Gimme Gimmes CDs I'm currently aware of. I'm also a fan of Hayseed Dixie who did a bunch of bluegrass covers of classic rock songs and Hidden Beach Recording's Unwrapped volumes which do jazz renditions of pop and hip-hop songs.

    These are probably the three strangest videos to ever go together in one post.
