Say, did anyone happen to catch David Lee Roth on late-nite TV the other night?? I’m pretty sure he was on The Tonight Show, performing a Van Halen song with a bluegrass band!!
Now, I know that it was pretty late, and that I had possibly drifted off into a dream state, but if this performance did indeed happen in real life, Mr. Lee Roth did an admittedly bang-up country version of “Jump”. And without a spandex jumpsuit, which seemed appropriate - considering the genre.
So where does this leave us?? Van Halen was one of the original party-hearty rock and roll bands of their day. If the former lead vocalist for the band is doing country music now, is this a trend that might grow ever further??
Will AC-DC release an album of classic swing songs, from the big band era?? That classic opening riff from “In The Mood” could sound a little bit groovier on an electric guitar…
Will Twisted Sister reunite, to cover folk songs by Jim Croce?? Could the next project by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant include the 70’s songbook of The Carpenters???
Personally, I’d pay good money to see Deep Purple do an album of Broadway show tunes…but that could just be me.
Chow for now!!
