Tony Rice (LP) + Backwaters (LP) + Church Street Blues (180G LP) - Bundle
All albums have been (AAA) remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio to hear Tony Rice’s guitar mastery like never before.
Tony Rice:
The 1977 self-titled album from Tony Rice sees the bluegrass guitar virtuoso take on traditional tracks, standards, and his rendition of contemporary tunes. This album was among the early pioneers of what would become the New Acoustic genre, fusing bluegrass, jazz, classical, and more.
Backwaters:
First reissue of the Tony Rice Unit’s 1982 album. Led by the bluegrass guitar master, Tony Rice, the Unit explores the intersections of jazz, country, new wave, and more, creating a truly unique listen. The instrumental album includes both originals and the band’s rendition of well-known tunes such as “My Favorite Things.”
Church Street Blues:
Church Street Blues is the 1983 album from bluegrass legend Tony Rice. Featuring Rice alone on all but four tracks, the album showcases Rice’s guitar prowess and eclectic musical style. Church Street Blues features standards as well as songs written by Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton and more. Noting the album’s intimacy, Bluegrass Today wrote “It’s like you become closer to Rice as a person with every note that is sung or played.” The album is pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
