The Worst Beatle

Being a fan of mashups, I'm sick of the Jay-Z acapella being put to just about goddamn everything. Seriously! There are thousands of acapellas out there -- and dozens of Jay-Z ones -- so why this same old acapella? Earlier I posted a mashup with The Dap Kings that was pretty sweet.

But this ain't an acapella, it's a cover. And it's damn good. It's barroom country, with banjo and big drums.

A 2007 duet album by famous Led Zepplin lead singer and probably the most bluegrass, Raising Sand, won the 2009 Grammy for Album of the Year.

This is a typical haul for Alison Krauss, who has won 26 Grammys! (Christ!)

Usually I disagree with the Grammy picks.

In 2006, U2 won for How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. (I totally forgot about that crap.)

In 2007, the fucking Dixie Chicks won.

And undeniably the greatest affront to good taste -- in 1998, Bob Dylan's over-hyped pile of crap Time Out of Mind beat out OK Computer!

However -- Raising Sand has moments of brilliance. It's not my favorite album of 2007 2009, but I have to give the Grammy people credit.

I'm just glad Viva la Vida didn't win.
