I've got to say in all honesty that while I much enjoy the playing and indeed the singing of traditional bluegrass, I do sometimes find the actual songs themselves to be a bit - well, corny I guess.
I also tend to prefer Monroe's choice of songs to other people's.
So I'm not surprised that modern bands may opt for what they may see as 'better' material, while still having a strong bluegrass feel instrumentally.
Probably a sacrilegious thing to say, I suppose. Does anyone else feel the same?
