I think it would be inappropriate to try to answer that for them. They do seem to be enjoying and living in the music they are playing, and that comes out. But, they are still fairly young players, and while technically fantastic, I feel that players of their age and ability still trend toward sounding like someone else rather than developing their own improvisational voice. I like that it feels they are playing to and off each other, but this particular tune, Old Daingerfield, the changes they have made to the structure of the song feel contrived rather than an extension of the tune. But, again, that's just my 2 cents. Please don't cast me out with the curmudgeons, that's not the point. I listen to these guys and players like them all day, pretty much every day. I love the acoustic jazz sets, the newgrass, etc, but I also have a profound respect for the bones of a song.
M started working on Old Daingerfield myself because of this thread. Michael Cleveland plays the snot out of it!
