Tracklist
Charlie Daniels
Among the first to find commercial success in the 1970s with a fusion of country and southern rock, Charlie Daniels was the forerunner to Hank Williams Jr., Steve Earle, and other unabashedly redneck stars. Daniels is a talented musician whose pre-stardom days in the 1960s included stints with Bob Dylan and Earl Scruggs. His "Devil Went Down to Georgia" is a modern-day standard.
Bela Fleck
New York City-born banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck is known as a pioneer for expanding the role of banjo beyond bluegrass and folk traditions. Something of a child prodigy, he began his solo career in 1979, and in '81 joined up with the New Grass Revival for a bit. His greatest success came when he formed the Flecktones, with whom he was finally able to fully realize his vision of a bluegrass-jazz fusion. Since then, Fleck has dipped into some very eclectic musical waters--including everything from classical to world music--expanding the musical possibilities of his instrument every step of the way.
