Bela Fleck and the Flecktones have released a new album entitled "The Hidden Land"

I was fortunate enough to see Bela play with Mike Marshall in Manhattan Kansas a few years ago.  Both of them are amazing  performers and musicians.

Bela is a truly unique force in the contemporary music scene.  He crosses genres successfully and with ease.  He challenges and re-formats conceptions of musical styles and compositions and creates new traditions.

There's a great Associated Press interview with him regarding the new album and his career.

I need to pick up the new record.  I've really enjoyed their recent collaborative efforts.  The new record is just the Flecktones.
