 If you like bluegrass music and haven't heard of Tony Rice, the chances are you haven't been paying attention. Tony is one of the very few musicians who, in a career spanning more than forty years, has left a legacy not just of phenomenal recorded music but also has inspired countless musicians to absorb his guitar playing techniques and imitate his style. It's hard to overstate the impact Tony's unique way of playing has had on bluegrass as we know it today. Countless musical 'licks' and phrases that today's guitar players consider 'classic' or 'standard' bluegrass runs can be attributed to Tony Rice. Tony got his start as a member of J.D. Crowe's New South in the early 1970's. From there, he went on to collaborate with just about every notable bluegrass musician as a member of such outfits as the David Grisman Quintet, The Bluegrass Album Band, and the ever-evolving Tony Rice Unit. Throughout this time he recorded under his own name as well as with Norman Blake, Ricky Skaggs, The Rice Brothers and Peter Rowan among others.
