Pickin' on Aerosmith is a continuation of the quirky Pickin On tribute series from the CMH label that applies bluegrass instrumentation to classic rock tunes. Unfortunately, the music of
Aerosmith doesn't translate well to bluegrass and songs like "Sweet Emotion," "Dream On," "Mama Kin," and "Last Child," featuring mandolin, banjo, and petal steel, end up sounding silly in this context. ~ Al Campbell
