Great banjo picking from a true Living Legend

"I never had listened to any of Mr. Fairchilds Cd's, until I got a copy of Bela Fleck's Cd, 'Tale's from the acoustic planet, the blegrass sessions' and in reading the liner notes, Bela states that Raymond was an influence on his banjo playing and the music on that particular Cd, So I figured I would check out his banjo playing for my self, I have to honestly say, I have never heard anyone play so fast and clean, it is NO wonder Bela cites this man as an influence. The only reason I did not give this Cd a 5 star rating, is that the banjo tends to get lost in the mix, It would have been nicer if the banjo was a little louder in the mix, Looks like this coming out on a major label like Universal Music, the quality could have been better, but still great Banjo music from an oustanding talent. A new fan indeed."

"Your wrong, this has no tuba or an electric guitar, it does have an electric bass. Do Your research before You write a review lady!"
