Rock n Roll w/Strings

Buddy Holly had strings back in the fifties.

The rock group Kansas. Not quite rock and roll but Jon Luc Ponty and Andreas Vollenweider did quite well with strings.

I don't know if you would consider this Rock N Roll w/ Strings but here is my contribution.

Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus

Moody Blues, Days of Future Passed

I think Alejandro is one of the most gifted song writers performing today. If you don't have "Room of Songs," you are in for a treat. The "Boxing Mirror" also rocks.As far as rock and roll bands with violin players go, my favorites are the Dixie Dregs (I like Dregs of the Earth) and Roxy Music. The violin solo from Out of the Blue on Roxy's Country Life is a classic. Roxy Music Live from 2001 has some tasty violin work as well.
