awesome cd, May 30, 2002
This review is from: A Hillbilly Tribute to Mountain Love (Audio CD)
When I first heard of Hayseed Dixie, I laughed at idea of mixing classic rock and bluegrass. Then, I heard them on the Bob & Tom radio show. I loved them! It sounded so different with lyrics I remember hearing in a different way. But now I could understand every word. They are great musicians and can play great solos. But really what is funny is Barley Scotch's hokey voice. It'll make you laugh. They have done a excellent job picking rock songs that sound good bluegrass style. So if you are a fan of either bluegrass or rock or both, buy this album. It's worth it just for the laughs.

Me and My cousins Favorite album ever. Ever., May 31, 2004
This review is from: A Hillbilly Tribute to Mountain Love (Audio CD)
This is my favorite album ever. Ever. It is sooooo romantic. And fun to dance to too. It is also the favorite album of my cousin Billy. He thinks it is soooooo romantic too. He thinks it is fun to dance to too. We've created sooooo many special memories while listening to this album. Billy says he feels this album was made just for us. And I just have to agree. It really does feel like that. This is my favorite album ever. Ever. Even better then David Hasselhoff. I just loooove him. And Billy likes him a lot too. But this is our favorite album ever. Ever.

Not as good as their first, July 28, 2002
This review is from: A Hillbilly Tribute to Mountain Love (Audio CD)
I really liked their freshmen release, A HILLBILLY TRIBUTE TO AC/DC a lot. AC/DC+bluegrass: Two crappy genres that manage, somehow, to sound just ducky when melded into one. But Mountain Love lacks the twisted, psychobilly focus of that effort. It's merely AOR+bluegrass.
The only songs that work to any campy degree at all on Mountain Love are CENTERFOLD, CAT SCRATCH FEVER and FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE; the latter of which sounds, at best, like it was a SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS outtake. I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL and BIG BOTTOM are just plum embarassing; the latter being a travesty of a parody of a sham of a travesty... FAT BOTTOM GIRLS doesn't belong here, at all.
My advice to Hayseed Dixie: Next time make another hillbilly-hardrock tribute. There are tons o' worthy/lousy candidates for the pickin': KISS, Metallica, Black Sabbath &/or Led Zeppellin come readilly to hand. Stick to a proven formula: metal+bluegrass
