The late, great guitarist Tony Rice grew up
in a bluegrass family and learned to play
at the feet of Kentucky Colonel and Byrd
Clarence White. In the mid-'70s, he joined
J.D. Crowe's seminal newgrass group
The New South, thus launching one of
the most celebrated careers in modern
bluegrass, folk, and acoustic string band
music. Along the way, Rice collaborated
with David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Bela Fleck,
Alison Krauss, Chris Hillman, Doyle Lawson,
Norman Blake...the list goes on. This record,
1988's Native American, is one of his most
beloved, a beautiful blend of bluegrass, jazz,
and folk featuring soaring interpretations of
some of his favorite songwriters, like Gordon
Lightfoot ("Shadows"), Joni Mitchell ("Urge
for Going"), Phil Ochs ("Changes"), and Ian Tyson
("Summer Wages"). And on the more contemporary side, Mary Chapin Carpenter
sings on the record and contributes a song ("John Wilkes Booth") about the
Lincoln assassination, long an obsession of Rice. That's the great Vassar Clements
on fiddle and Jerry Douglas on dobro, too...first-ever vinyl reissue, pressed in "root
beer" vinyl and limited to 750 copies!
