Love Redneck Jazz, and his playing on Bela Fleck’s Bluegrass Sessions Vol 2. “Valley of the Rogue” is such a dope tune.
- quercusa 3y agoValley of the Rogue is very nice and has quite the cast of players. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3_rBQWMNao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3_rBQWMNao
- cushychicken 3y agoOut of all of his huge library of work, that might be my favorite of all of Bela’s tunes.
- jaredhallen 3y agoThat whole album is absolutely fantastic.
- cushychicken 3y agoIt’s a fuckin’ journey. I think it’s his best. Drive is a classic but Bluegrass Sessions has a vision.
- adamcblodgett 3y agoI think the title is actually Hillbilly Jazz, unless it's a deep, deep cut.
- cushychicken 3y agoYou’re right, I always mix up that and Danny Gatton’s album Redneck Jazz.
- TylerE 3y agoOne of the major reasons I took up the violin last year, after 20+ years of guitar and bass.
