Bluegrass? BLUEGRASS??

In concert with his new bluegrass album, there is an interview with Tommy Shaw over on the AV Club. Dear lord, that photo!

I’m just not sure how I feel about this. I adore the man, but… bluegrass? Styx is on the far ‘mellow’ end of what I listen to, and this is pretty far afield. However, it’s a good opportunity to broaden my horizons. Heck, maybe I’ll like it!

Once I listen to some more clips I’ll decide if I should pony up for the album. If anyone who is normally a hard rock/metal fan has this, let me know what you think!
