A Western Space Odyssey

With props to Lil' Nas X, (Columbia label), for Old Town Road, and Yes, (Atlantic label), for Wurms and Starship Trooper, here's a genre-bending bluegrass presentation by Dave Kline & The Mountain Folk Band.
Over the past 4 decades Dave and the band have recorded and performed bluegrass as Mr. Monroe invented it to be, but Dave's garage band heritage compels him to use the acoustic bluegrass instruments to create genre-bent covers of pop and rock songs. A perfect example of this is this track "Old Towne Road ~ Wurms ~ Starship Trooper" that was crafted for a release of an album by Dave Kline & The Mountain Folk Band in November 2024. This is mashup fusion of styles that the band had a hoot creating. The album is called "Our Grass", which is representative of how the band does such things as adding surprises like this to a set of traditional bluegrass.
"Our Grass" features 14 tracks, 12 of which are traditional songs, ballads or tunes written by Dave Kline.
This recording's musicians are...
Travis Wetzel - mandolin and fiddle
Keith Kupp - banjo, bass, dobro
Dave Kline - guitar & vocals
Like it or hate it, the band had fun being creative.
