Known for its gritty blues groove and environmental themes, "Vampire Blues" uses dark humor and the image of a vampire draining the Earth to critique the oil industry and humanity's relationship with natural resources. More than 50 years later, the song remains a striking example of Neil Young's songwriting. Filmed live at The Side Door, an intimate listening room in Sacramento, California, this performance brings the song into the world of acoustic string music. Caltucky blends traditional bluegrass instrumentation with blues, Americana, improvisation, and a modern jamgrass spirit. With banjo, fiddle, guitar, and upright bass, the band explores the space between classic rock and progressive bluegrass, bringing a fresh perspective to a legendary song. Whether you're a lifelong Neil Young fan, a lover of live acoustic music, or discovering Caltucky for the first time, this performance celebrates the freedom of taking great songs in new directions.
