Ashby Frank’s “Midnight Highway” Goes No. 1 On Bluegrass Today Chart
DESCRIPTION:
For Frank, recording this Foo Fighters’ monster hit, “The Pretender,” was a natural choice. Bluegrass and hard rock have a similar feeling of drive. It’s no surprise that pickers who grew up listening to shredding bluegrass instrumentals have a deep appreciation for rock musicians. Frank has been a fan of Dave Grohl & the Foo Fighters since he was a teen, so he took a giant leap and covered one of their most iconic songs with a bluegrass-meets-grunge treatment.
