There will never be another Bela Fleck. He's more than just a banjo player that seems to defy the laws of physics. He's an ambassador of great musicians. Everybody he surrounds himself with shines like gold when they perform with him.

This song makes me nostalgic for something I ain't ever had.

This version of Big Country gives me chills. It's like the song fulfilled its destiny.

Anyone else keep returning to this video?

2025, still watch this every week, anyone else? ❤️

Has to be one of the greatest and most under appreciated pieces of music ever written.  The poor mainstream crowd will never know.

Head phones  on eyes closed and listening to a little piece of heaven

The entire Transatlantic sessions were off the charts, fabulous and timeless, beautiful merging of the styles of traditional Irish and American Folk/Bluegrass overtones in perfect unison...it reaches down deep inside and touches your heart in a way that is indescribable....God Bless all here...and there in attendance

It’s music like this that makes life worth living.  I can’t get enough of this kind of perfection.  Thank you, Béla!!

Bela looks at the other artists with the same affection that I see Mark Knopfler look at his colleagues with.. Pure adoration. What a group!

It must be great to write a tune, trust it to a dozen soulful  strangers, and then hear it blossom into something magnificent.

There are only a few songs that brings a tear to my eye from just shear beauty. This is one of them.

This song is timeless!!!!

The smile on Bela's face at the end says it all.

I am obsessed with this song. Soooo good. Makes you feel good inside.

This brings back memories of growing up on my family's old farm. It hurts, remembering older, better times. But I wouldn't trade that pain for anything, because it was worth every damn moment. Hopefully my words can impart a fraction of that feeling to whoever might happen to read this, and if so, a measure of the same peace of mind.

It's like an alternate universe where Rivendell decided, "fuck that whole fellowship/ring business. Let's just jam."

This is the best version I've ever heard of this song. It's been at least 1000 times and I still can't stop playing this

4:45 is the best musical sound I've ever heard
