Bela Fleck Inroads (CD)

(Rounder Records) 9 tracks

Over the course of his now 15+ year career, Bela Fleck has redefined the possibilities of the banjo, creating sounds and music that pleasantly exceed all expectations - this album, for example, may be the first to feature both banjo and vibraphone! Originally released in 1986, the album is a new landmark in acoustic music, featuring Bela's own instrumental compositions backed by a number of Nashville's finest musicians, including Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Mark O'Connor and New Grass Revival.
