A very good question. And one I'm definitely of 2 minds about. I love a good story, and a love source material. But I have to say, I also appreciate both more if delivered by a good voice. 24 verses of Bonny Swans, delivered in a monotone, can be a trial, and I've come close to having songs I love sung too often by bad singers in sessions. It hurts my heart. I wish I was more of a purist, but I'm not. I'm very grateful to all who have both collected and held traditional songs in our culture, and to singer-songwriters who have added wonderful new songs to the tradition. But I'm also very grateful when someone with a great voice sings them.
