Hearing and seeing Crowe solo makes me emotional. I don't care what people say, there will never be another like him, and not another one that sounds anything like him. Best banjo player of all time
When someone says "Bluegrass Song.," This is the one that most comes to mind. When someone says, "Bluegrass Band," this is the one I think of. Great old song, played by a great band.
This was in 2013, many years after Tony lost his singing voice. He's not playing his Santa Cruz here, he is playing "The Antique" as he calls it. It is Clarence White's '35 D-28
Medicine has made great advances in surgery for voice related problems just in the last 6-10 years. It might have fixed Tony. Canadian singer Ian Tyson had a similar sound several years ago as his voice became a "croak" after singing hard with a throat infection. He outright quit singing for the most part then. But later when he heard of the advances in surgery, he had surgery (in Canada, so it was free) with a leading surgeon and his voice was almost back as it used to be. It was amazing. A heart attack has since set him back though, just plain old and wearing out I guess. Of course in USA, unless independently wealthy, the same surgery would be beyond most folks budget I suspect.
