Rocking with the Hayseeds

This time last week I was off to see my fave band Hayseed Dixie at Exeter University. Once again they kept the audience bopping away for a full two hour set, full of gems like their take on Walk this Way, Holiday and Dirty Deeds. I prefer their original material and their best on the night (and on their new album) has got to be She Was Skinny When I Met Her although John Wheeler aka Barley Scotch dug himself into rather a deep hole in the intro given the age and stature of some of the audience (myself included).


I have now found that I can re-live some of their concert material for free on a brilliant site of their archive material and YES! it's free in line with their philosophy of giving good value for money and playing for expenses only. Have a good laugh at gems like Kirby Hill and listen to the speed and skill of Don Wayne Reno's banjo playing and Dale Reno on the mandolin. Barley Scotch isn't bad on the fiddle either.

If you like rock and you like something different you'll love this.
