Lots of fun

"Bluegrass/country/rock mix with attitude. Lots of fun to listen to, reminds me very much of another band I like a lot, Burach, which is a Scottish group that mixes celtic folk with bluegrass and a rock attitude. If you like this, take a listen to Burach, especially their Weird Set CD."
Combination of heavy metal and bluegrass - uneven but fun.

"The better of Killbilly's two recordings, Foggy Mountain Anarchy represents bluegrass stylings played fast -- very fast. Also added are nontypical bluegrass arrangements including percussion and harmonica. Grab your banjo and try to keep up with the band on "Jesse James." Unfortunately, the speed often blurs the otherwise clean bluegrass licks. The music runs the gamut of more mainstream country ballads to rock and roll to heavy metal licks, sometimes within a single cut. For pure fun, there's little that can beat "Pass that Whiskey Round," in which the playfulness of the band shines through. Don't miss the quotation from "Smoke on the Water" on the banjo.The recording is uneven, including the terminal "hare krishna/Drivin' Around," which will baffle even the most attentive. But when it's good it's very good. And when it's not good, it's still interesting."
