Title: Absolutely Incredible
Review: This is my personal favorite of the ~20 Tony Rice CDs I know and love. There is not a weak track on this disc, period, and the high points are as good as folk/blues/bluegrass can get. We were fortunate to be able to see three different live shows about the time this disc was released and I believe Tony hit a live performance peak at this time also.One of the highpoints of this disc is an outstanding cover of James Taylor's "Nothing Like a Hundred Miles". Tony now owns this tune. Sorry James, I love your stuff but how can you ever sing it again and call it your own after this masterpiece recording? Likewise, Mickey Newbury's "Why You Been Gone So Long" is so right on, how can it get any better? The playing and singing are so natural and unforced, it really is remarkable. In the past, Tony has been able to find this space on maybe half of an album, give or take, but on Native American, the band is in the groove from front to back. Great stuff.
