This sounds like a recipe for disaster. Here we have four stubbornly independent artistic individuals, a creative quartet of highly-trained instrumentalists, two women, two men, each with their own moving and impressive backgrounds, four unmistakable voices, four uniquely individual perspectives on root work and euphony – and yet: sometimes true magic lies in just such an unlikely but inspired mixture.

CD+DVD Digipak Edition. Celebrating a quarter century of Blackmore’s Night with the 25th Anniversary Re-Mixed Edition of the milestone debut album “Shadow Of The Moon” (1997).

Béla Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From The Acoustic Planet Volume 2 (1999) [2001, Reissue, DVD-Audio + Hi-Res]

As it turns out, the Tales From the Acoustic Planet albums are where Béla Fleck sounds the most comfortable in the ’90s. As his jazz fusion records begin to sound played out, his acoustic experimentation and returns to straight-ahead bluegrass sound lively, vibrant, and fresh. As a matter of fact, The Bluegrass Sessions: Tales From the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 2 feels like one of his finest albums, due in no small part to the caliber of supporting musicians.
