I'm afraid I'll have to come back to this when I have more time and less stress in my life :-(
My impression of the Corries is different from yours - maybe I've been lucky in that the bits I've heard (Best of the Corries CD) is different from their average - they've always struck me as a pub band, with lewd asides and giggly attacks on the live tracks, and great drive.
On the other hand, I've discovered two bands that were completely new to me - one is the Sawdoctors, and I don't think that without this discussion I would have stopped to pick up a CD today by some guys in town today. They're called the Huckleberries and play a mixture of folk and bluegrass which is weirder and much better than it sounds.
