AC/DC Goes Country?

Recently I heard the song “American Beautiful” by The Henningsens and I instantly liked the song. I kept asking myself why? As a music lover, I believe that in all music genres there are good and bad songs. However in this case, I subconsciously determined there was more to the equation when it came to this song. Then I figured out that “American Beautiful” by The Henningsens and “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC have extremely similar guitar riffs. I am sucker for classic rock and that was the factor that encouraged me to like this country song.

Another interesting fact about these two bands is they are both family oriented line-ups. AC/DC features the brothers Malcom and Angus Young while The Henninsens feature brother Aaron, sister Clara and father Brain in the line-up. The band AC/DC has a new album and tour in the works. You can also catch The Henningsens on tour this summer in support of their self-titled album.
