| “ | The pleasures of good bluegrass music are not to be underestimated, especially instrumental bluegrass. In these days of pretentious in-your-face alternative rock, pretentious teenage pop groups, pretentious country music stars, pretentious pseudo-Latin hits and even roots rock bands that sound so sincere that it borders on the pretentious, hearing one of the great American music forms played by a bunch of musicians using instruments that don't plug in, can really be a breath of fresh air. Especially when those musicians are some of the best around and are doing what they do for the love and enthusiasm of the music and having an infectiously great time in the process. I am reminded of this by a DVD that combines some of the world's finest living bluegrass musicians in a recording that is not only stellar luegrass, but is just great music from any objective perspective. It's the newest release by the prolific banjo luminary Béla Fleck called The Bluegrass Sessions, Tales from the Acoustic Planet Volume 2, and it just doesn't get much better than this. Even if you are not a fan of bluegrass, The Bluegrass Sessions may well make you into one. It's a wonderful change from the mindless similarity of commercial pop. It's also exceptional music played by exceptional musicians, irrespective of genre. The Graham Weekly Album Review #1157 | ” |
