I dunno... I mean, don't get me wrong, Albannach and Wicked Tinkers are good, but I enjoy the musical skill required to put together guitar, fiddle, bagpipes, drums. I mean, I could go out on campus right now, round up a few guys and give them African drums, pull out my pipes, and we could play an Albannach song. But if you listen to something like Bodachan A Gharaidh by the Battlefield Band or Islay's Charms by Deaf Shepherd or Clueless by Wolfstone, you'll hear very skilled musicians at their best coming together to make a complex, yet pleasant, sound that interweaves traditional Scottish folk music with newer ideas and themes.

Just my opinion...
