Pinch My Bluegrass: Bluegrass Tribute to Barenaked Ladies

Catalog #: CMH-8850
Release Date: 9/19/2006

Details:
Barenaked Ladies are five guys dressed up in irony and attitude, with a knack for crafting exuberant pop-rock hits. The Ladies are oddballs that rock, mixing off-center lyrics with on-target melodies—and an occasional detour into geek-rap—to create a catalog of tunes that are goofily romantic and seriously funny. As the band has matured, their work has become truer and more emotionally bare, without losing their trademark charm and twisted humor.

Only the white lightning harmonies of the hottest bluegrass musicians could match the speed and cunning of Barenaked Ladies’ breakneck vocals. Pinch My Bluegrass is a kickin’ collection of inspired musicianship and vocal virtuosity, jammin’ with all the loopy style and giddy energy of pop’s quirkiest band. Fiddle, mandolin and banjo take on the Ladies’ mischievous folk-rock, mixing up music that’s a genre unto itself—“barenaked bluegrass.” OK, maybe “It’s All Been Done”—but it’s never been done quite like this.
