"Big Country"
Feeling down? Need a little music to provide a helping hand? This blog aims to become a signpost to new music. New albums for you and me. Not new in the sense that they were just released (although that might be the case) but new because you have never heard of it before. If you have, I apologize. I will never post albums from the same genre twice in a row, variety is the spice of life people! So sit back, relax, and enjoy wonderful music made by artists that deserve our attention.

"Live at the Quick" by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Here's a live album by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones that was
released in 2002 under Columbia records. For those of you who don't
know, the group consists of innovative musicians that try to push beyond
the limitations of their instruments. Bela Fleck is the banjo player in
the group who can be seen switching instruments throughout a
performance in an attempt to make every song sound fresh. I chose to
share this album with you all because it's a good representation of the
band in a live setting and these musicians know how to play. I think
it's important that a band can play a solid live show because it seems
that nowadays more and more bands aren't giving fans the type of energy
and solid playing that they expect at a show. I urge everyone to go see
Bela live if you ever have a chance!

Great band Alex! Not familiar with this album but I really enjoy this group. I had the privilege to see Victor Wooten perform at Northwestern University!
