Шаблон:Infobox album Crossing the Tracks is the first album by the American banjoist Béla Fleck, released in 1979.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Steve Leggett of AllMusic wrote: "Excellent mix between bluegrass and jazz, original songs and traditional pieces, all done with a bright and joyful élan, this album is a perfect springboard to his coming solo efforts."

Acoustic Music's Jim Zimmerschied called the album "a colossal collection of 5 string banjo tunes by one of the best players around," and stated: "Béla can play just about anything on the banjo... The assisting musicians are all giants in the bluegrass/acoustic music area... the whole album is enjoyable."

Writing for Country Standard Time, Rick Bell commented: "On the jacket of his 1979 solo debut... a 20-year-old Bela Fleck is laughing as if there's an inside joke no one else gets. Fleck... knew the punchline. With the release of this record some 26 years ago, Fleck's immense talent quickly became an inside joke no more."
