Free Music Notes for Outbound
Free Music Review: Outbound Outstanding
Hit: 4 Stars
Outbound is outstanding! If you've never heard Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, you are missing something. These musicians are incredible. Hoe Down is as good as it can get! There are many other great ones on here such as the title track. The 'Tones are joined by several guests including Yes singer Jon Anderson, Shawn Colvin, and even Sandip Burman makes several appearances on the tabla(very cool)! There are 16 tracks on here so you get your money's worth, that's for sure.I would have given 5 stars if not for a slight lull in the action midway through. Hoe Down could be their big hit. I for one hope so!Free Music Review: continue the magic

Outbound, the latest album by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, is another work of art. Their sound is so musically diverse that nothing comes close. A great alternative to jazz, as well as an alternative to alternative. I will have the pleasure of seeing this fine ensemble open up for Dave Matthews in St. Louis in Sept. I can't wait for the opening act (the Flecktones are the reason I got the tickets). This album is one of the band's 3 best, along with Live Art, and the Greatest Hits of the 20th Century. Highly recommended...especially if you are tired of the same old thing.Free Music Review: Another Great Recording
Hit: 4 Stars
As a long time Flectones fan, I am never surprised at what they do next. Outbound is another adventure. This album has more of a jazz feel than previous albums. They again use vocals and mix things up a bit by using a throat singer and Shawn Colvin. They also feature the steel drums which adds an interesting twist. I also enjoyed the covers of Copeland's Hoe Down and a Coltrane classic. Despite presenting a different style from previous albums, if you enjoy Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, you will certianly enjoy Outbound.Free Music Review: Good stuff
Hit: 4 Stars
I saw this band in concert this past summer and they played a bunch of stuff off this album. It was really good so I went and bought the CD. After listening to it a few times, I think that it is safe to say that it totally has ups and downs, as most cds. Some of the good tracks are Hoe Down, Earth Jam, Aimum (would be better if there were no vocals and just jams) and Outbound. Its definately a feel good cd. Buy it. you'll enjoy it. Has some great guests on it to, like John Medeski (always a plus) and Paul McCandless. Hope this helpsFree Music Review: Will someone tell Futureman the experiment is over - real drums rule
Hit: 4 Stars
I love Bela fleck and all he has done to bring the banjo to the mainstream music listener. That said, he has to put futureman to rest. Vocals aren't too bad, but that tingy, hollow sound that comes from his electronic drumkit ruins what is otherwise beautiful music. And don't get me started on the live records. Futureman, do us all a favor and listen to Billy Cobham, Max Roach, Dennis Chambers, anyone!
At one point people thought that the "80's" represented the "future" of music. Nough said.
