Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn "Railroad"

Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn performing "Railroad" Live from The Country Music Hall of Fame 5.14.2015

I love how the dual banjo harmony evokes the sound of a nearing train

[@Patriotic_Eagle1995]

I love how the singing of a wealthy white woman appropriates the voice of a male african slave stolen from his home to be worked to death by European thieves

[@Reachyogatv]

I can't even deal with how much I love this!

[@cliffsandifer3877]

God bless em these two are ambassadors of peace via banjos

Feb 15/2016 Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn just won the GRAMMY for Best Folk Album! Congratulations!

[@stevenfrisch1665]

Beautful ,haunting jazz solos over bluegrass voicings--absolutely stunning! Bela, I've been following your music half my life. You just keep getting better and better. I'm so glad you and Abigail are together--you sound WONDERFUL!!!

[@robertmoore517]

Saw Bela's name in the title and expected magnificent banjo playing. Did not expect the beautiful vocals. Fantastic.

[@juliewilli]

I love the "O, Susanna" in the bridge at 2:18+ and again at 3:25+

[@al6939]

You are the sound of growing nature

[@morgansheridanNM]

I sure hope my late friend of 49 years, Windy, got to hears this before he died. He'd been a fan of Fleck's for at some 20 years. This was masterful. I love how banjos seem to be able to have the best 'conversations'.

[@monwell250]

just came across these two on ABC radio in Australia...wow!!

[@irishfield1]

This amazing ever topssss thank you

[@marcscordato4385]

I’ve seen Bela with the flecktones I’ve seen Bela with Chick Corea and I’ve seen Bela With Abigail . Every performance was superb. I put him in the best of company he deserves his place among the likes of Pat Metheny Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea .

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

You should see him with Billy Strings......

[@rickschuman2926]

[@alexdesslin]

[@fetermcblues]

Masters

[@phreakadelik21]

2:15 is the cleanest voice crack i've ever heard

[@whoisit01]

I think that was a yodel!

[@Jestak]

@@whoisit01 There was one song on an Uncle Earl album where Abby did some yodeling as sort of a bridge.

[@tafka92]

How great of an invention is the snark tuner that pros will keep it on their banjos which easily cost $4000 a piece? Great and inventive rendition.

[@nancyrobson7832]

Let's dance David bowie

[@rwcarrmandolin]

Is Bela using nylon strings?

[@no1up]

Please tell me Abigail has an album..

[@Jestak]

Her own albums include Song of the Traveling Daughter, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet, and City of Refuge. In addition she has 3 albums with Bela and two with Uncle Earl.

[@sciencebabe]

I read Pete Seeger's regrets for having the habit of holding his chin up when singing high notes. It damaged his voice he said. Check it out Ms. Washburn. An ounce of prevention...

[@DanielTull]

What?

[@BarbaraEnidJames]

sing some more songs in pu tong hua ... I mean guo yu.. I mean Mandarin .... whatever the kids are calling it now, I just work here...

[@roberthathcock1575]

Arla whuthery

[@iceaxe56]

abigail is one cuckoo bird

[@mdhbigdog]

That's okay. Bela Fleck likes her.

[@straitview74]

That's not how that song goes

[@TonyfromBham]

It’s a modal take on the tune.

[@kenparsons7686]

straitview74 It is now...

[@DanielTull]

It's called " a rendition! "

[@MISHA12314]

Oh MY ! A curley red head with dimples that can play the banjo !! And sing like an angel ! Bela has more talent, but he isn't as pretty. He probably doesn't smell as good either.
