    Forget everything you know about Béla Fleck for a moment. The banjo master has just released his latest album, a symphonic composition that’s often chaotic, sometimes esoteric, but overall innovative for its use of the ol’ five-string in conjunction with the Colorado Symphony. It’ll make you rethink everything you thought you knew about the traditionally bluegrass instrument.

    Also in the stacks this week, Kevin Russell’s Shinyribs is back with a celebratory new record, Men at Work’s Colin Hay dazzles reviewer Lee Zimmerman with his latest full-length, Grant Britt mines an extremely cool rockabilly box set, and we’re streaming Juno Concerto all week long.
