I'm guessing that Bluegrass is not high on your list of favorites? :-) :-) :-)
Instrumental bluegrass is tremendous, and some of the gospel songs done that way are inspiring. That singing is different, to my ear; very old, authentic American style rather than the "staginess" of "cawntry stars". I can't listen to it all day, however. :)
