How can you tell if a song is a classic? I propose when a cover in a different genre is as strong as the original. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'N' Roses is such a song and has inspired musicians since its release in 1988.
In the past, we've seen it on an accordion, by a mariachi band, and as New Orleans jazz song. Now Robyn Adele Anderson and Anthony Vincent offer this bluegrass cover. Drums, a string bass, and banjos contribute, but it is the fiddle version of Slash's opening guitar riffs that make this adaptation work so well.
