I just spent the weekend listening to myriad Folkies, Nowegians, Spaniards, Icelanders, Backwoodians, Mountaineers, Bluegrassites and assorted Irish baladeers, but few compared to the sheer skill levels demonstrated here.
However, this is a blast of fresh air.
Oh, I missed out the Tabla quintet, the Aussie trekker, the sensitive Femmes and assorted scarf twirlers.

...reinventing his "brand" ..? there's a shot right through the heart. heed his comment all,.. a corporate mind will always and forever steal what's vital and brilliant in creative expression, wring out every dollar and leave it commercialized and lifeless on the ground for survivors to pity and remenisce or scowl at. Personally I think Yo Yo Ma in the old mountain folk genre is too polished. Where it shines in technique and clarity is exactly where it lacks in soul and authenticity. There's no struggle, no joy for winning, no simple life. Fake. A perfect distraction for corporate "heads". 'keeps 'em away from the good stuff. thanks RP, keep it comin :)

You got it right, annoying. Great musicians or not.

Have to put these fellows together with Allison Kraus.
Yo Yo has certainly branched out, reinventing his brand and expanding the audience in these days when classical music concerts are less well attended and CD sales are down. He's a a great musician by any measure, even if you don't like this.

Reminds me of some of Aaron Copeland's work.

I guess insults are fine by me if they are funny.

A LITTLE like some Dixie Dregs...or maybe a bit more like some of Steve Morse's solo work.
