Assuming Billy will continue trailblazing the Rock/Bluegrass Fusion path, I'd like to see him cover some of the Zappa violin material when Frank worked with Jean-Luc Ponty and Sugarcane Harris. For starters, Willie The Pimp from Hot Rats would be fun to hear from this band.
I wasn't a bluegrass guy, but Billy is something else. Sure, they start things off in bluegrass mode, but for a lot of tunes, they jam them out to the stars.
Billy has been heard saying, (I paraphrase), "It's not 1938 anymore", with the meaning that blue-grass needs to evolve. And so, he helps it become a psychedelic blue-grass jam. Here is an interesting interview on his sound equipment.

Best possible thing that
Best possible thing that could happen to this group.
And nothing against the group as it was, but...
IMO, a fiddle in bluegrass/acoustic music is essential, a fiddle makes the bluegrass sing!
NOW I'm interested in this group.
