Title: The MUST-HAVE Tony Rice Album
Review: Tony Rice is without question the most influential flatpicker alive. I heard a famous rock guitarist say of Eddie Van Halen that he was influential, and everyone either wanted to play just like him or had to work hard to play DIFFERENT. The same can't be said of Rice. EVERY flat-picker wants to get that lustrous woody tone, that blistering fiery speed, those IMPOSSIBLY twisted notes. All you need to know about his singing is that on the half dozen albums or so he has done with Ricky Skaggs, Skaggs sings harmony... Surround that talent with Skaggs, Bush, Grisman, etc. and you have the ONE CD I'd take with me to a deserted island. He's the Michael Jordan of this music.
