About

Released as a digital download in early February of 2010. Physical copies were only sold at shows during the 2010 tour.

A digital booklet was available with the purchase of the release. We've archived it as best as we could here.

Béla's note about the album

When I released "Throw Down Your Heart," I knew it was only part of the story. I knew I had the responsibility to get the rest of this music out there - finally I have been able to pull it off.

This project has been such a homespun production, especially with funding the trip myself and making the film and recording with my brother, Sascha as director and partner.

That's why it feels right to me that we are only making the CD available at my shows and on my site, www.BelaFleck.com - (see the tour dates - we are touring right now!)

There is no record company in between me and you guys.

For those who purchased the CD at shows, this is your digital book and liner notes. For those who purchased the music online, this site contains a bunch more images than the booklet that came with your download!

For those of you who haven't got the music, here is a way for you to get a sense of whether it is something you'd be interested in (there are 4 tracks that stream in their entirety as well).

In the notes I've included the musicians who performed on every song, as well as a photo gallery for each piece. Make sure you scroll all the way down for some surprise photo galleries as well. Click on a photo to enlarge it and get the full experience.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do - it is certainly a labor of love for me!

All the best,

Béla
