AMG Review of Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
Brian Mansfield
All Music GuideThe Flecktones owe more to ebop than luegrass, and here the group finally names their style "lu-bop." That's why Flight of the Cosmic Hippo topped the jazz, not the country, chart. The Flecktones continue to make it look easy, adding banjo power chords to "Turtle Rock" and reworking Lennon/McCartney's "Michelle."
