And I thought I could play guitar!
Never heard of Tony Rice until a couple of weeks ago--went to see a new documentary "Bluegrass Journey" at the AFI Silver in DC. Great movie with lots of bluegrass stars (mostly unknown to me, save Tim O'Brien)..and near the end of it, Tony Rice plays a solo number combining Shenandoah with Danny Boy...sounds odd, I know, but it was a jawdropper. Left the theatre with a couple of names to check out (Nicklecreek and Tony Rice). Have purchased two Rice albums thus far...this one and Manzanita....both are excellent. This one is more traditional bluegrass sound (has the banjo on some tracks) but still not the nasal twanging stuff of my childhood nightmares...Vassar Clements makes an appearance as does Doc Watson and many others. With tunes selected from a wide range of Tony Rice albums this is a nice place to start your new collection...

The musicians
Tony is one of the best guitarists I have known and picked a group of amazing artists to play with, several I have met.

One of my all time favorites.
A wonderful collection with dozens of talented accompanists. One of my favorite all time CD's. I bought this one for someone else. I've had a copy for many years.

Great! Must-have!
What else is there to say? In my opinion, this is a "desert island disc." Highly recommended.

Outstanding!
Essential to any Bluegrass music collection and essential listening for any guitarist. The playing by all the musicians is superb. The production is lush with beautiful balance between the instruments. Tony Rice is an American treasure.

ブルーグラスの見本みたいな人
トニーは申し分なく、ブルーグラスそのもののようなギター奏者として最高峰だと思う。無駄な音がなく、それでいてスムースな音運び。指の動きは見事にメロディを捉えている。ヴォーカルもそれなりに味があるが、今作は、演奏だけに絞ったので、ブルーグラスのギターをお腹いっぱい堪能出来る。二十歳前後の頃には、「おっさんが聴く音楽」だと、少々野暮ったく思っていたが、自分も十分におっさんになって、この音がしっくり来る。ギターが主役だが、そのほかの奏者も強者揃いで、バランスがいい。よくあるように、ベスト盤は、時代毎に流行りの音の違いから違和感が多いが、この手の音にその心配はない。アメリカの凄いところは、こういったある種の伝統的な音楽が後世に受け継がれていること。現代でも様々な楽器の名手がいて、トニーを始め、彼らの残した遺産に頼らず、素晴らしい作品が生み出されていること。そういう意味では、トニーは現代ブルーグラスの先駆者として、名前に恥じない名演を残している。

これ一枚でトニーの魅力を余すところ無く紹介
旧録音からの再編集ＣＤ。どれも言うことない、優れた演奏である。

歌がないバージョンで残念でした。
きちんと調べなかった自分が悪いのですが・・・。しかし、いい曲なのは間違いなし。

top class
This is some brilliant guitar playing, and it should be pointed out that this is an entirely instrumental album, so don't come here to listen to Tony Rice's vocals! The accompanying musicians on here are a virtual who's who of bluegrass including Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Vassar Clements, Bobby Hicks, Norman Blake, David Grisman, Bela Fleck, Doyle Lawson, J.D. Crowe, Darol Anger ....etc.Great value
