Looking for some banjo tunes (any type) to listen too.
The more banjo, less less singing the better, though if its a very good song I am prepared to give it a shot.

Don't suppose I will get many replies on this topic, but thought I would give it a try! Thanks folks.

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs – Earl's Breakdown

First heard it on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken". Awesome album

i have a track of hendrix on banjo which is quite pleasing to the ear

Thanks both of you – surprised anyone has replied, yet alone so fast.
Any idea what the Hendrix track might be called?

this is the one I have, i can email you the mp3 if you so desire?

Most kind offer, I will get in touch.

just watch deliverance a few times.

the obvious one is Dualing banjo's

There's anything by Hayseed Dixie too

In muso circles the definition of an optimist is a banjo player with an answerphone.

There's a spoof band called Run C&W who do bluegrass versions of Tamla soul classics. Both good and funny. Their version of Sweet Soul Music is wonderful.

How about Ukelele solos? Jake Shimabukuro is a bit good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puSkP3uym5k

Bela Fleck, banjo virtuoso

if bluegrass is your thing check out the album Drive.

if you don't like jazz avoid anything Flecktones

Tony and Bela are generally accepted as the premier living banjo players. Steve Martin surprisingly isn't too bad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toUedUW2IYE this is the equivalent of a bluegrass supergroup

Steve Martin, "The Crow". Great album…

I am open to any kind of music – I know very little about music so it seems silly not to be open minded.

We have a 5 string banjo passed down through the family from the 1920's or 30's, it used to play in a dance band at public dance halls. The band must have been reasonable as it was their only living. Sadly I have known no one in the family who can still play it. I thought it might be fun to find out what sort of music it might be capable of and the range of stuff available to banjos, so I wish to sample music fairly widely, just out of curiosity.

Any other names of good players?
