The Piano Guys

This CD was a recommendation by my cousin Walter Cronkite. He was studying for finals and classical music is supposed to help with memory retention. So what better album is there to listen to, than the Piano Guys?

The Piano Guys are a group of five ... guys that love and play classical music. They aren't afraid of new genres and exploring the limits of each instrument. Most of the tracks on this album are covers and remixes of old tunes.

My favorite track is entitled Cello Wars and is an awesome mash-up of Star Wars tunes. It starts with a nice build up of the Imperial March and busts into and often underrated Duel of Fates. Their renditions of Mozart, Bach and Beethoven are unique and incredible. Hell they even cover a One Direction tune and make it very enjoyable.

If you are looking for a nice twist on the classical genre, give the Piano Guys a listen.

I give Piano Guys 3.5 out of 5 Burning Lariats.
