Tales From the Acoustic Planet is not only a great album musically but the songs in themselves are great as well. At times great musicians loose touch with the music and play a piece for the sake of the difficulty involved. Not so with Bela, he definitely hasn't lost touch with what makes a great song himself. He plays superbly and has fabolous musicians playing with him as well. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys acoustic music. There is everything from Bluegrass to Jazz to Classical. Unbelievable album.
