Title: Some Kind of SWEET!
Review: Bela Fleck's "Drive" release is obviously one of the greatest productions in this man's brilliant career. His choice of progressive-bluegrass musicians to accompany him here was every bit as respectable as the music itself. For example, the impeccable improvisation and signature "rhythm chopping" of Sam Bush is a priceless adornment to this acoustic layout. Also, the ability of Tony Rice to maintain that blues element in his hard flatpicking without damaging the spirit of the tune, makes any piece a masterpiece. Mark O'Conner and Jerry Douglas leave their usual effect upon the listener: "How in the world does he do that?" And Bela's lack of hesitancy to utilize the familiar single-stringing and jazz ornamentation in whatever he desires is, as always, appropriate and well-placed. Nothing imaginable is left to be desired here!
