My favorite Tony Rice album
    Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: This is the album that allows you to listen to Tony with the very least other stuff (i.e. excellent musicians) in the way. If you are curious why Tony is held in such reverence by bluegrass and acoustic listeners, try this one. But beware, he does manage to make it all sound so very easy, and I promise you, it isn't.
What you are listening to is the very, very best.
Perhaps his best!!!

Review Comments: This is a perfect Sunday morning , shake the cobwebs out of your head kind of album. A quiet album, featuring just Tony and his brother Wyatt on acoustic guitars, it evokes the warth of the sun peeking through the window on a gorgeous morning. Tony was in fine vocal form here, exhibiting the rich voice that sadly , he has been robbed of in the years since. I believe there is not a better Tony Rice album available. It does not necessarily demonstrate the ultimate in his pyrotechnic capability on the guitar , but it doesn't need to. Tony Rice sneezes off riffs that other guitarists work their entire lives to attain. This album sports great song selection, sympathetic accompaniment, and is just an easy listen ( without being "easy listening".)I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the sound of rich full acoustic guitar, fine tunes, and one the most wonderfully resonant voices anyone has been gifted with.
Great Music From the Best Flat-Picker Around

Review Comments: At this writing, this recording is twenty years old, yet it sounds as fresh and new as any recording available. There are, I think, two reasons for this. One is that the tunes themselves, from folk standards such as The Last Thing On My Mind to early country classics like Any Old Time to fiddle tunes such as Cattle In the Cane, are good music. The more important reason, though, is that Tony uses his astonishing technique not to show itself off, but, rather, to play the tunes the way he thinks they should be played. When I listen to this CD, I don't think, "Man, can he play the guitar"; I think, "What great music!" Virtuosity abounds, but Tony understands that virtuosity doesn't have to mean playing faster and more intricately than anybody else, even though you can. It's just Tony on most of these tracks. His younger brother Wyatt joins him on three tracks. Come listen to what one or two great musicians can do.
absolutely beautiful!

Review Comments: Style-wise, this sounds a bit like a cross between James Taylor and John Denver. Beautiful vocals and immaculate acoustic guitar. This is a real winner.
Very Good
    Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I have no problem listening to this album straight through. From Blake to Dylan to Lightfoot there are no draggers...only excellent selections. Fun guitar picking! Pop this in your player, sit back, and relax. No disappointments.
