Song 362 ( Béla Fleck and the Flecktones - Sunset Road )

Most who hear their music are usually at a loss to "pigeon hole" them into a genre, however, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones are officially considered Fusion Jazz and Country; I believe that the Country label comes from the fact that Béla Fleck's primary instrument is the banjo. In this song, I hear a lot of classical influences in the way that Béla Fleck plays it; he does an excellent job at it. Of course as always, Victor and Roy "Future Man" Wooten do an great job blending their music with the others' to make the excellent sound that is Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Unfortunately, as with most Béla Fleck's music, it is more musician's music and is lost to some non-musicians and non-connoisseurs of music.

Here is a live performance circa '91 on YouTube.
