Hearing that banjo riff when I heard about Beyonce's Country crossover hit, made me love it immediately as soon as I checked it out. Texas Hold Em sounds more 'Country" than a lot of current pop country coming out of Nashville, so I don't get a lot of the backlash and criticism. It is great that she is going Country because she will bring new fans to the genre that previously had no interest in it.
Great interview. Now I want to hear that opera! About the title: 1. She brings a beautiful banjo to a great song; 2. Rhiannon’s voice has such range, power and sweetness that I every time I listen to this song I have to remind myself that is not her singing this time.

I bought a hard case for my 5 string banjo at a Guitar Center and the Goth kid at the counter whistled Deliverance as I was walking out the door....I thought, this is how far removed young folks are from Roots music.
