When he was at the pinnacle of his career and could have done anything he wanted, he called together arguably the greatest group of bluegrass musicians ever assembled and recorded the bluegrass standards. This man will always be a legend.

I miss him every day.

@phil36135 15 дней назад

t think it was 1996 when I seen him at Merlefest. He had Sam bush,Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Mark Oconner, and Mark Shatz with him. To me he was hus best in that tine frame. It was the best concert Ive ever seen, Tony was still singing then. I have heard Tony perform over a dozen times, before and after that show. But the 96 show was the best by far. He was simply amazing everytime he picked up his guitar. They will never be another musician on his level. RIP Tony

Brilliant. I've been a fan of Tony's for many years, and just came across this concert tonight. Wonderful ensemble playing, jazz as much as country, or old-time music, or whatever other word you want to put to it. Just good music, nourishment for the soul.

At his worst, he was better than most who try. He was deteriorating some at this point. He pointed it out himself. A real musician. I got to talk with him backstage a few times. What a gentleman. Absolutely tried to help me.

@Kevin-bp2cw 2 года назад

thats what always came across to me as well, I'd never met him or see him in concert but he always seemed like such a gentleman, always the tie and jacket , a pen in the breast pocket so he could sign your CDs and whatever ,I'm guessing here but it would have been in character with the man.

Tonys the reason I traveled from Illinois to Merlefest for many years ,Heard Tony on a college radio show if memory serves came out of Frisco and it was all over ,Bela Sam and Flux along with about thousand others all came down to me hearing this amazing guitar player.

Just so happy that I lived to hear and experience this irreplaceable icon! My ears have never heard an equal on acoustic guitar and I don't believe I ever will

@Joe1935429 3 года назад

This man had his music in his bones before he could do anything with a guitar. We hear the word 'icon' used a lot these days, and I should say misused a lot. It applies here. The combination and intertwining of Bluegrass, blues, jazz, and country is so natural we are almost unaware of it. His music defines the word sweet. Like a sunset, it's gone before you know it. Bless you, man, and those who love you!

Tony Rice was and will always be one of my heroes of music. No one will ever be able to do as great as he was on guitar. He had a style of his on. He changed the way a lot of people look at bluegrass. Tim from Yadkinville,N.C..

@timothybrawley7909 2 года назад

There's not really any need to thank me for my comments. I just tell it like it is. Tony Rice will be missed by all who loved his music as well as his friends and family. I hope that the Rice bros will carry on with his memory and music. God bless them all!

!n my humble opinion I think Tony surpassed Clarence. But I'm bias, I grew up with the New South album being played at every opportunity my dad was home !! Tony was the total package.He set a standard. A True professional musician who has influenced all bluegrass guitarist's. He changed bluegrass music !! I've stood in the pouring rain to hear him play at festivals and would again anytime... R.I.P. Mr. Tony Rice 🙏
