In Their Own Words: "For this album, we've been really trying to focus on the humor of traditional music that sometimes gets lost in the seemingly never-ending race to infuse 'newness' into bluegrass and old-time music. This is not to say that experimentation and genre-hopping is bad (it is perhaps a correct reflection of our times), but simply that the funniness and fun can be overlooked.
That being said, 'Betty Sue' is about nothing in particular. I guess it's just about somebody rambling around and having a good time. That's what we try to do. Isn't that what Uncle Dave Macon, John Hartford, and Roger Miller wanted to do, as well?" — Andrew Morris
