I don't care for Northern drums to sing southern songs. I've yet to hear a drum group sing one correctly, and it really irritates dancers from Oklahoma when they have to contest to a southern song that isn't sung right. Also, alot of popular southern songs belong to specific people or families, and it's hard to keep them straight unless you are from the south, and vice versa for southern drums trying to sing northern. As for Blacklodge singing southern, I believe that they made relatives with the Cozad family from Oklahoma and that's why they sing some southern songs.
