Tony Trischka, Bill Keith & Bela Fleck
Fiddle Tunes For Banjo
(Rounder - Reissue)

This 1981 album shows how innovative these three artists have been. By adapting these traditional fiddle tunes for the banjo and writing original melodies to rival the old, they announce their intention to revolutionize the instrument. Twenty years later, this reissue affirms their success in achieving this original vision. Good solid music - and no drooling. -H
