Genre Jumpers..... Ha! Great, man.
I call people who play this good "Genre Jumpers". There ain't a bunch, but they ARE out there. You can't label them.....this is no more "Country" or "Western" than calling Edgar Meyer a "Classical" bassist. In fact, I can hear Edgar bowing those lead lines.
Just great music played by people who care.
Check out the bass players bent end-pin in the first clip.....Ala Rabbath.
Side bar....I was working some shows in Vegas years ago. A band with similar talent and outfits followed us. I had that "Holier than thou" jazz attitude in those days. I thought "How sad. These poor guys have to come on stage and be embarrassed after our hip ****." Needles to say, we were the ones embarrassed.
