Re: Trampled by Turtles - a MUST see band
I got turned on to trampled by turtles a couple of months ago, so I kinda checked them out. The members of the band actually came from other genres before they got together and went acoustic, which kind of explains their style (to me). That having been said, I don't consider them bluegrass, just acoustic. Yesterday I bought the Palomino CD and have to say I like them. I don't think they're trying to be bluegrass, but using the instruments they picked up to get to where they want to be musically, which I can respect. If you think about it, Monroe did the same thing: wanted to be a fiddle player, got stuck with the mandolin, and made it work.
If I had known how much easier it is to carry the mandolin around instead of a strat and a half-stack, I'd have been playing mandolin this whole time.
