"Until you've heard your favorite band covered in a different genre, you never really know how good or bad their music really is. In this case KISS' music is for KISS only. Not country/blue grass. I think the one thing that struck the side of my head like a brick from a truck with a gun rack, was just how insipid KISS lyrics truly are. This is a fun album. Don't get me wrong, but KISS doesn't work in this arena. On the other hand, the reason why this band exists is AC/DC. Their first album of AC/DC tunes is excellent and displays how well everything works in the world of mountain music."

Buy this and I guarantee you'll smile

"Where Hayseed Dixie succeed is in their ability to take their incredible musicianship and apply it toward a genre of music that is about as far from their area of expertise as one can possibly get. They are obviously KISS fans (as evidenced by the "I'm so alive" added into Detroit Rock City to mimic Paul Stanley's ad lib from the Alive II album) and they do the songs justice on this excellent album. Grab a beer or two, sit on the porch, crank up this CD and enjoy an album that is as fun as any that have come along recently. If you're a KISS fan and don't take yourself too seriously, this is a CD for you. I've been a KISS fan ever since I cut a day of grammar school so I could run to the record store just as Love Gun was being put on the shelves for sale, and I think Hayseed Dixie are the Hottest Band in the World."

A Great Tribute To A Great Band!!

"The Hayseed Dixie (name sounds like AC/DC) boys are back and are once again sending a hillbilly tribute out to another "Band in Black.....KISS! The AC/DC tribute was great, but it kind of spoiled the "newness" of this type of tribute to any KISS fans who just picked up this CD. One quick word to the gentleman who said KISS is a 3 chord band. You must not know your KISSTORY. KISS's music is very complex at times. I have been playing guitar for years and I still find alot of thier work challenging. Anyways, this is a great CD. Any KISS fan would be pleased with this recording. This is also a great way for alot of bluegrass/country/comedy listeners to get into the band. This vocals on the CD is very soothing in a bluegrass kind of way. Hayseed Dixie are great musicians and they know thier KISS. Most of the tracks on this CD are laid-back versions of the real songs with a couple of exceptions. "Cold Gin" and "Love Gun" are great examples of this. Faster songs on this cut such as "Rock N Roll all Night" and "Lets Put the X in Sex" speed the album up just when it needs it. In conclusion, I would recommed this album to anyone who is a KISS fan, but, don't take it too seriously. KISS fan's buy it now, Hayseed Dixie and Bluegrass fans might want to brush up on some classic KISS before buying this CD.I give it 4 out of 5 stars b/c i wish Hayseed Dixie would add some drums to thier work. Thanks!!![.]"
