Product description No Description Available. Genre: Country & Western Media Format: Compact Disk Rating: Release Date: 8-FEB-2000 Amazon.com Béla Fleck's 1999 return to acoustic planet reminded us all that he has few peers as a banjo player, but perhaps more significantly, how inventive his original bluegrass-oriented songs can be. Those talents seemed to be in place as far back as 1982, the year this superb album was recorded. On this, only his second solo affair, Fleck shows full command of his instrument as well as a supreme gift for composing fresh and compelling tunes based in, but not beholden to, the bluegrass style. Backed by the usual stellar assortment of "newgrass" virtuosi, Fleck puts forth traditional-style tunes full of energy and flair; modal-jazz vamps ripe with improvisational possibilities; delicate, charming lullabies; quirky waltzes; and classically influenced passages. Throughout, his banjo work is incredibly versatile, strikingly unique, and impressively intricate yet utterly poised and effortless all the same. --Marc Greilsamer
