Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released when he was only twenty years old, 'Crossing the Tracks' is the astonishingly mature, virtuosic solo debut from the legendary banjoist. B茅la Fleck immediately pushes the traditional boundaries of bluegrass, incorporating complex, jazz-inflected phrasing and jaw-dropping technical precision. The album signaled the arrival of a generational talent who would completely redefine the possibilities of the five-string banjo.
