{"product_id":"tony-rice-guitar-lp-vinyl","title":"Tony Rice – Guitar (LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Rice redefined what a flatpicking guitar could do in a bluegrass context, and this debut captures that revelation in real time. Recorded before his landmark work with the David Grisman Quartet and the Tony Rice Unit, it documents a young virtuoso already operating at a level that would reshape the instrument's role in acoustic music for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGuitar\" was Tony Rice's first venture into recording and it still holds up as one of the great bluegrass guitar records ever issued. The album came to Rebel in a roundabout way. It was recorded in Lexington, Kentucky, first appeared on a record label in Japan, made it's way back to Kentucky for release on a regional label that was later acquired by Rebel in the late 1970s. As Tony was working in banjo-great J.D. Crowe's band at the time, it was quite natural for Crowe., Tony's brother and mandolinist Larry Rice, and bassist Bobby Slone to provide the instrumental backing. Recorded at a time when progressive sounds and styles were treading on the traditional framework of bluegrass, \"Guitar\" was praised for walking the fine line of spotlighting Tony's prowess on the instrument while remaining very much a \"band\" recording. With Tony in fine form vocally and his amazing guitar work on full display, this is where you will find his signature versions of \"Freeborn Man,\" \"Doing My Time,\" \"Nine Pound Hammer,\" and \"John Hardy\" - plus the closing track, a nine-minute tour-de-force rendition of \"Lonesome Reuben.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Freeborn Man (2:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Faded Love (6:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Salt Creek (3:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Doing My Time (4:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5.  Windy And Warm (1:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6.  John Hardy (3:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7.  Nine Pound Hammer (2:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8.  Lonesome Reuben (8:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 032511158215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rebel Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.26.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600479727771,"sku":"550402","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-tony-rice-guitar-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779291124","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/tony-rice-guitar-lp-vinyl","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
