The full album's not out yet but they've released some tracks. Can anyone explain to me what's going on with their version of Church Street Blues? Chris Thile sings the melody but nothing they're playing sounds at all connected to the tune.
(This is not a "my kid could play something better than that" gripe. A lot of Punch Brothers sounds this way to me but I fully recognize that's due to my uneducated ear and not a lack of musicality on their part. I mean, c'mon.) I'm genuinely asking for enlightenment - how their version of the song is derived from what Tony Rice did.
Thanks.
