DAVID LEE ROTH Performs 'Bluegrass' Version Of 'Jump' On 'Leno': Video Available

June 7, 2006

A video clip of former VAN HALEN frontman David Lee Roth's appearance on last night's (Tuesday, June 6) edition of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" has been posted online at YouTube.com. Roth performed a bluegrass version of the VAN HALEN classic "Jump" from "Strummin' with the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen", a collection of VAN HALEN songs done in bluegrass style that was released yesterday. The CD features Roth alongside the JOHN JORGENSON BLUEGRASS BAND on twangy renditions of "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin'", as well as a special radio edit of the latter.

In the liner notes, the Indiana-born Roth explains that "my roots were always kind of country — not the same country as my first band. Their flag had windmills. Mine had BBQ pit and a shot glass."
