Our Take

Oh, what a jolly romp through the classic rock opera that is Tommy by The HillBenders! This bluegrass makeover takes the iconic 1969 album by The Who and gives it a whole new twangy twist. From the opening banjo plucks to the foot-stomping fiddle solos, this album is a toe-tapping delight from start to finish.

The HillBenders inject a breath of fresh air into these familiar tracks, reimagining them with a down-home charm that's impossible to resist. Songs like "Pinball Wizard" and "Acid Queen" are transformed into barn-burners, with lively instrumentation and infectious energy that will have you clapping along in no time.

But it's not all just fun and games - the musicianship on display here is top-notch, with each member of the band showing off their considerable skill and expertise. The vocal harmonies are pitch-perfect, the arrangements are tight, and the overall production is crisp and clean.

So, grab a jug of moonshine, kick back on the porch, and let The HillBenders take you on a bluegrass journey through the psychedelic world of Tommy. It's a wild ride, but one that you won't want to get off anytime soon. Yeehaw, indeed!
