4.0 out of 5 stars the boys doing what they do best, June 11, 2000
By A Customer
everytime you hear bela fleck playing banjo is exciting, but classic bela fleck is stripped down banjo. eventhough this is a banjo no strings attached album, the wide variety of arrangements in the songs make it more excitng. the beatles medley and the interpretations of bach show the true universal musical spirit of bela, not forgetting the wonderful playing of tony. this album mkes a great companion with the new bluegrass sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable banjo music, May 8, 2009
It's so much fun to kick back and listen to this kind of banjo music. It's not particularly "driving" bluegrass, but it is something you can listen to for hours on end. It's something that can inspire you to play this style. And it's downright good music!

5.0 out of 5 stars solo banjo at its best?!?, May 8, 2001
By Jordan Klein (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The way I see it, this album (right up there with Foggy Mountain Banjo) is an absolute must for 5-string banjo players of the 3 finger style. These two masters, whose playing has influenced each other as well as pickers worldwide, take the "twangy, one-dimensional instrument for hillbillies" from classical to klesmer, celtic to pyschadelic. Of course, they show off their mastery of the scruggs, single string, and melodic styles... but perhaps more impressive is the way "Solo Banjo Works" demonstrates the vast creativity and ingenuity of these two artists. Also, the album is as versatile as the virtuosos prove the instrument to be... it works in the car, at work, etc... (although, to be honest, i haven't tried the bedroom)

Buy it!
