Chris Thile Covers Bela Fleck & The Flecktones On ‘Live From Here’

Chris Thile led a performance of a cover of a Béla Fleck and the Flecktones song on the latest episode of Live From Here. Saturday’s episode featured the mandolin playing host leading the program’s house band on The Flecktones’ “Throwdown At The Hoedown.”

Banjo master Béla Fleck wrote “Throwdown At The Hoedown,” which appeared on The Flecktones’ 1996 album, Left Of Cool.
