Just heard Iron Horses version of Fade to Black. My music was on shuffle and I didnt know what was coming next, so I listened to the music without knowing the name. It sounded familiar, and then I saw that it was a bluegrass version of a Metallica song.
I have to admit that at first I wondered if it was a gimmick. But actually the music itself was awesome, and I thought that anything played so proficiently and arranged so neatly could not be a gimmick. Way too much time, effort, and talent went into that performance for it to be anything but an excellently crafted tribute.
Ive listened to a few other Iron Horse versions of Metallica songs now and I think Fade to Black and Unforgiven are the best. They seem to work better as bluegrass songs than some of the others (for example, One and Enter Sandman). I wonder if you guys think this is true also. Did some songs seem to fit better in a bluegrass style than others? Do you think this is because of a particular reason, maybe the chord structure or the vocal melody?
Love your music!

We would LOVE to see you perform in South Carolina...Greenville actually would be PERFECT! We dont see ANY Carolina dates scheduled(North or South)......is that by design or it just happens this way. Wed go to HUntsville to your show this year IF we didnt have one of those family things getting in the way?

Thank you all for the wonderful music. I have been ADDICTED to the Modest Mouse album. I was into it before I was into Modest Mouse, actually. Your cover album made me interested in that band. I am currently listening to the vinyl Nirvana album, and have ordered the Metallica album on vinyl as well. Would love to have more of your catalog released on vinyl. Any plans?
Also - have there been any considerations for new pickin on albums? For some reason, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Sublime, Mad Season, Soul Asylum have all been overlooked. The Iron Horse albums are my favorite in the series and would really love to hear your renditions of these groups.
Much respect.

Ive been listening to your Modest Mouse tribute album over and over for months now. Your emotive renditions with the already poignant lyrics gets me every time. Thanks, and keep it up! Ill have to catch one of your shows in the area.

You all need a female singer and that female singer is ME! Not that the band is lacking in any way, but a female singer would only enhance the sound. Dont you think? I love metal and I love gospel and I love bluegrass and I can sing my tail off. My daughter says I sound like Anita Carter and I happily take that compliment. Iron Horse is my favorite. Hope to see you all play live some time during my lifetime. This band has all my respect. Each of you have been blessed by God with your gift of music. Take care!
P.S. I really would love to sing with you all too so if you ever need a guest female singer, I am your gal. I wasnt kidding. Haha. Thanks for your time, pals!
