Coldplay Featured On Eclectic Bluegrass Collection Volume 1

For over a decade, the “Pickin’ On” series from CMH Records has let the best bluegrass musicians put a rural spin on rock’n’roll. This album showcases these unique interpretations of rock’s most diverse cast of superstars [thanks Jon].

The punk-blues of the White Stripes, Beck’s hip-hop and folk mutations, and the angular anthems of Franz Ferdinand are but three acts that made a mark on pop culture.

The Eclectic Bluegrass Collection is truly a celebration of music’s infinite possibilities.
