Here's are some recent reviews:

Hilarious and intriguing ... off-the-wall originality.
- Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News

This is perhaps the best that disco has sounded in decades.
- Jason Feifer, Ink19.com

You guys are crazy ... and I loved every minute of it! The idea of bluegrassizing such tunes as "Night Fever," "I Will Survive" and "Tragedy" is so "out there" that it borders on the surreal. Yet, in the hands of the Blackfoot Brothers, Home Cookin' and the like, the tunes come across just great. Thanks for taking the chance to issue a CD of this ilk.
- Dave Higgs, Bluegrass Breakdown, WPLN-FM 90.3 (Nashville, TN)

To love bluegrass is to love all kinds of music, and Saturday Night Hay Fever is a lot of fun to listen to.
- Nancy Longenecker, WBZC-FM 88.9 (Pemberton, NJ)

REVIEWS

If you happen to be a connoisseur of the world's strangest musical parodies, mockeries and innovations, this is the next album you will want to add to your collection of jaw-dropping, chuckle-inducing conceptions. Disco hits delivered bluegrass style, unflinching and unmercifully revisiting hits such as "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love." You might say it's sick and wrong, but don't knock it until you've heard it. At the very least, sneak it into a drunken party and watch the crowd do a double-take. Ah yes, hillbilly disco. It had to happen at some point. Love it, dig it, cop it.

They're a pickin' & I'm a grinnin'

It seems like Hayseed Dixie has started a fun trend and then was followed by Luther Wright & the Wrongs (Rebuilding the Wall--a Bluegrass Tribute to Pink Floyd's The Wall). Now this album--Saturday Night Hay Fever. Who'd of thunk it?? Overall this album was well done. There were a couple of songs that I didn't like--namely Rasputin and Funkytown. However, the Bee Gees remakes were excellent. The Blackfoot Brothers did a good job on them and I am now waiting for them to tackle some other Disco songs...Fly Robin Fly, The Hustle, Brickhouse. Mamma Mia was a kick and I Will Survive was pretty good. I would recommend the album to those looking for unique covers of these tunes.
