And Genesis... Likeable tune. |

| jberko (Franklin, TN) | Posted: Mar 30, 2005 - 13:50 Dig it!!!! And how about Kronos Quartet's rendition of Purple Haze... perhaps we can get some play on that? |
| MisterVErb | Posted: Mar 30, 2005 - 13:49 wow. this is so juicy and melodic. |

"crossroads" was originally done by robert johnson... |

Ever catch the Floyd cover album, all orchestra? Phenomenal! |

totally stupid and gay. Gay? Does this song find itself sexually attracted to songs of the same gender? If you were just trying to say "stupid" two times and ran out of synonyms (dumb, lame, idiotic, pointless, unintelligent, empty, vapid, clueless?), may I suggest that you just stop at the first "stupid"? Gay does not mean stupid. On behalf of my gay friends and family members, I offer you this  |

| Sobient | Posted: Jul 23, 2004 - 23:18 omfg, this music is from 1990!! LoL! Thought this was "new" music. |
| chucklesalmon | Posted: Apr 21, 2004 - 20:54 oh, how funky and cool. totally stupid and gay. |
| Drunkenlilacwine (somewhere b/n heaven and earth) | Posted: Jan 30, 2004 - 19:14 Extremely good cover of cream. Very good interpretation. |

| Pipes (Murray, UT) | Posted: Dec 10, 2003 - 07:44 Most excellent! :-({|= |
| philarktos (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Nov 09, 2003 - 08:46 Had been a fan of these guys years ago, before this configuration, and then had sorta lost track and forgotten. RP:  |
| Roverfish (Tucson, AZ - Thanks for visiting, please drive through!) | Posted: Nov 09, 2003 - 08:44 I suppose the same people who complained about Bela Fleck playing "Moonlight Sonata" on banjo will take issue with a string quartet's rendition of "Crossroads"... 
The rest of us will appreciate it for what it is...damn fine music!  |
| justDave (Ventura, CA) | Posted: Oct 09, 2003 - 14:12 I had an opportunity to see Darol Anger and Mike Marshall play in a show near here and it was truly phenomonal. Anger is a fantastic fiddler (violinist?) and their playlist was a wild mix of fusion, bebop, and bluegrass. Believe it or not they had a drummer who must have been no more than 25 who played at the same level of folks like Billy Cobham and Steve Gadd. Quite a show. |
| chlobug (Lex, KY) | Posted: Oct 09, 2003 - 14:01 This song totally rocks my house! Thanks, RP  |
| jayladdin (New York City) | Posted: Oct 09, 2003 - 14:01 Great cover! |
| lindydallas | Posted: Oct 09, 2003 - 13:59 Hehe... someone needs to download some Kronos Quartet too; --d |
| indigo_xia (New River Valley, VA) | Posted: Sep 29, 2003 - 08:35 I saw these guys live a few years ago in Roanoke, VA. Terrific! More Turtle Island, please! :-({|= |
| rolo (New Orleans) | Posted: Sep 29, 2003 - 08:31 .... there's just something about this I LIKE !*!*!* it's such a GREAT song ... especially the Cream version) .... the band I played in back in the late 60's played the song ... always liked the energy of it !*!*! ( I have to admit that the use of stringed instruments on rock and roll is something I've liked since I heard 'Apocalyptica' ... 4 chello's playing Metallica !*!*!* ..... :-({|= |
| briushka | Posted: Sep 08, 2003 - 23:08 In place of marginal, read annoying... Maybe just too early in the morning? |
| RichardPrins (Canada) | Posted: Sep 08, 2003 - 23:07 Also check out Kronos Quartet' Purple Haze... or Fourplay from down under which does lots of covers on violins and good too, incl. Kraftwerk and Metallica ;) I have 2 of their CDs bought when they toured and visited the Netherlands. |
| firesign (Cincinnati, OH) | Posted: Jun 19, 2003 - 07:54 totally awesome. |
| hobbitt (central coastal new jersey) | Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 13:20 I bought this album when it came out, based on a review in Newsweek, and primarily for this song. Cranked it to 11 once I got it home, too. |

| Joyfulchristine (CA) | Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 13:17 Cool man! And strangely appropriate, considering I'm sitting here, watching my two tortises amble around the yard and graze on my lawn. :D |
| casablues (Hazlet, NJ) | Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 13:17 cool! |
| TreborG2 (VA - somewhere east of paradise) | Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 13:16 Proof again that music need not have drums, guitars, and several 'chicks' lickin' each other to be pretty fun and cool. |
