Hayseed Dixie is this band of acoustic musicians from Tennessee that
puts a pretty cool twist on their own renditions of Kiss songs. Their
album Kiss My Grass has a heart-wrenching version of "Cold Gin," the
confident, cocksure delivery of "Lick It Up" and other timeless Kiss
tunes including "Calling Dr. Love," "Detroit Rock City,"
and "Heaven's On Fire."
The boys of Hayseed Dixie: Barley Scotch, Enus Younger, Talcum
Younger, and Mutt Twang recorded a previous tribute album to AC/DC.
In fact, the members of AC/DC liked their acoustic bluegrass sounds
enough for bassist Cliff Williams to invite the band to play at a
tour-wrap party. He even joined them onstage to play bass on "Have a
Drink On Me."
