In 1985, the British pop rock band Tears for Fears debuted their single "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," which soared to the top of the charts across much of the world. It made heavy use of synthesizers and other electronic instruments, unlike the lower tech of the bluegrass cover band named Greenwood Rye.
This quintet includes the quintessential bluegrass instruments of the banjo, mandolin, and the fiddle. An acoustic guitar and upright bass fill the gaps to provide very convincing covers of a-ha's "Take on Me", Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al", and Led Zeppelin's"Good Times Bad Times".
