    I had the great privilege of being there that weekend. As soon as I heard they were having a reunion of the Bluegrass Album Band, I ordered my tickets; definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see them live, after all those years. Josh Williams did an outstanding job of filling in for Tony on vocals; at one point when they first started, he was almost overcome with emotion when he realized the enormity of what he'd been invited to do. To top it all off, it snowed that night!

    I sure miss Tony's singing. His playing is impeccable, but he had a great Bluegrass voice too!

      I agree, da324. Tony is one of the best lead singers in bluegrass history

      AGREED -his vocals were the BEST!! sang Lightfoot songs BETTER than Lightfoot!
      for me, he's on short list of best vocalists (ANY genre), EVER!! right there w/Sinatra...

    True Bluegrass superstars. I was in a little Bluegrass band when these guys were in their heyday. They were our primary source of inspiration at the time. We spent hours in my basement trying to learn these arrangements. Again they remind us how its done, get in a circle in a little room, work out the harmonies and leads, step up and play your part! Great video. Many thanks for posting this.

    I just found out about Tony's voice. I haven't seen him in years. He will be back. I wish I knew how to get in touch. I remember getting together like this and playing. All the festivals the jams. I lived and loved it. In it from 63 thru 78. Still have

    @emiller9426 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Is that Tony singing Free Born Man? Sounds like him but I know he'd been having voice problems in later life and didn't sing much. Was he still able to sing for short sessions? Pity, he was one of the greatest Bluegrass vocalists.

    They will sound better with Jerry Douglas on Dobro and Bobby Hicks on fiddle.

      Peter Mietus That IS Bobby Hicks

    • @redlinemando
      @redlinemando 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      LOL God love you to pieces for not recognizing Bobby Hicks, but yeah, I was wondering why Jerry wasn't there as well. He probably wanted to be there, but had schedule conflicts. I'm sure he was there in spirit. My bucket list is to one day meet all of them. I've met Doyle Lawson & I've been to J.D Crowe's house & got to pick with him. I've been within handshake distance of Jerry Douglas, but I've never met Tony Rice, Bobby Hicks or Todd Phillips. Tony's Me & My Guitar album saved my life once when I was young & in a very depressed state of mind. I was bottling things up & listening to that album gave me an outlet for my emotions.
