Everyone makes their own decisions in life.
I could have made a lot more money if I had chosen a more Commercial direction,Ichose not to, I have NO regrets.
Seth has made a decision to be more commercial,it is possible he may bring a wider audience to go beyond his music as groups such as Fairport and the Spinners did,time will tell.
I dont like his music, but he probably doesnt like mine,im happy with that,personally I think he is inconsequential,But if he gives people pleasure[he is an improvement on Westlife]and brings a new audience to appreciate other folk/blues traditional music,good luck to him.http://www.dickmiles.com
