Editorial Reviews

Pickin' on Pink Floyd delves into the extensive catalog of the world's premiere cosmic rock band. This experimental and unique approach marries excellent bluegrass instrumental interpretations with the psychedelic space rock of Pink Floyd. Featuring some of America's finest on mandolin, acoustic guitar, 5-string banjo and fiddle, this collection is a journey into the world of Pink Floyd in an organic improvisational nature. Pickin' on Pink Floyd will take listeners on a ride through the imagination on a trip that is both mystical and fun.

3.0 out of 5 stars WARNING, November 19, 2001

I know it is Amazon's policy that reviewers not berate other and previous reviewers. However, potential purchasers of "Pickin' on Pink Floyd" need and deserve to know that Mortie's review here is simply inaccurate. Maybe too much acid in the sixties, I don't know, but he is not reviewing "Pickin." The musicians he lauds in his review do not appear on this cd, and though he praises one Jebediah Greenman's vocals, there are NO vocals on this disc at all. It is purely instrumental. Unfortunately, I bought this disc based on Mortie's false review, and while I still like it, I would not have bought it if I knew it had no vocals. Amazon, if you don't print this review, please at least remove Mortie's or place it with the cd it really reviews--if there is such a disc, I'd like to buy it.

Differences of opinion is indeed what makes this world go 'round. That said, I've been a Pink Floyd fan since the 70's and have always loved Bluegrass as well. I think this album is the perfect blend of both.

There are 2 standout songs that are up-tempo enough for the Blue Grass to really shine "Time" and "Run Like Hell" the rest are solid interpitations of the originals good and in some cases damn good but the harmonic transitions and the banjo work in Time left me flored when i first heard them and i still enjoy listining to it after a year and a half of owning the album. And im a hard rocker
