I pictured the donkey from Hee-Haw; you know, the one that came across the screen grinning when Lulu or Junior Samples said something really earthshaking. Only this time, I figured it would be a whole group of smiling donkey characters; playing some bluegrass music and beating on trash can lids and washtubs. Well, just like the dudes that were in charge of ordering jellybeans for this year’s Easter, I was way off base. (Note to first time readers…see last week’s jellybean article)
The Grinnin’ Mules, out of North Georgia, are a pretty darn tight group of fine musicians. Three guitars, a bass, and a drummer make up this band, and their repertoire is quite varied. They went from Johnny Cash to Bruce Springsteen to rap. For you guitar buffs, this band uses not one Fender Telecaster, but two. I mention this because it is pretty unique. The Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul are the industry standards, but the Telecaster is a mighty fine instrument that has been around a long, long time. It produces a tad different sound than its cousin the Strat. Merle Haggard plays a Telecaster. James Burton, a member of Elvis Presley’s band TCB, plays one. The Grinnin’ Mules play two!
This band features some interesting variations on some songs, with some pretty cool vocal harmonies. You can see their website, view their schedule, and hear samples of their music at click here. They are available for gigs and they brought a huge crowd with them, too.
