Title: The only pleasure I gleaned was tossing it out my car window
Review: I consider myself very knowledgeable about music: I collect blues, classic rock, jazz, ragtime, classical, bluegrass, flamenco, celtic, and anything else produced by talented musicians; I love great musicianship, and great jams. This CD had no redeeming qualities, except maybe as a coaster for your beer, as you reach for other cd's. It consists of a string of unremarkable, bland, meandering fluff. Some songs are...---boring, unimpressive, airy, elevator music. Other tracks are absolutely unlistenable...of the "world music" variety. Its like the band wanted to distance themselves far from anything remotely grooving or compelling. Were they desperate to prove their "great depth" and "expansive musicianship?"I have Fleck's "Drive" CD, and enjoy it immensely. But this is useless for anything other than putting the baby to sleep.
