If you'd ever wondered what it would be like if Isaac Brock was a banjo picker from Alabama, then I'm going to stop you right there, because Iron Horse came as close as humanly possible to making that a reality. What we have here is a full album of some of Modest Mouse's hits interpreted by some very talented musicians from the south. They've also done full bluegrass cover albums of Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and lots of other rock bands. In fact, I'm pretty sure we've had Strummin' with the Devil, their Van Halen cover album on Music Club before. Either way, it's a pretty interesting take on Modest Mouse, so give it a listen!

What are your favorite genre-crossing covers?
